    Hella a bit sparse.

    Hella a bit sparse. No good restaurants that we found and they stop serving at 9pm. Not much to Hella but it was in the countryside and we saw the Northern Lights. Our hotel was well lit so we could find it but they would not turn off the lights to view the Northern Lights better.

    Small central town, great for staying at the igloos, and great for going all round. So nice to go east to Vik for the Katla ice caves, skogafoss and the waterfall hike, and Vik beach and west for kerid crater and blue lagoon and then north for gullfoss and the geysers. The town itself has a small supermarket, nice bakery and okay places to eat. Looks pretty with the mountains to the side.

    We were not happy with the accommodation.

    We were not happy with the accommodation. The front desk staff were disorganized. We were told a day before check that we would have 2 cabins instead of the 2 rooms we booked in the main hotel. When we arrived we were told we would get 2 cabins. When we checked I across the street, we were told we had one cabin which was a downgrade for us. One adult had to sleep in an upper bunk bed and the cabin was smelly , some windows did not fully close and the main door did not lock. We were quite disappointed in the accommodations. The cabin was not in good shape. We specifically booked 2 rooms to get 2 bathrooms period. Based in all of this, we would like to request a partial refund.

    Extremely lousy management, relocated and downgraded to s cabin nearby with no wifi, handwash or toiletries. Reason given- overbook, well not a acceptable reason in 2023! Avoid at any cost, overpriced for bad service

    Beautiful, clean, modern home with spectacular views.

    Beautiful, clean, modern home with spectacular views. Location of home is quiet, on a horse farm, about 30 minutes from the main town of Selfoss. It was a good location to explore the south. We would stay there again!

    Terrible relocation experience due to overbooking. 1.

    Terrible relocation experience due to overbooking. 1. Unacceptable reason of overbooking in real time booking system especially we have fully paid. 2. The selection of customers for relocation is not transparent, not logical and also not acceptable, especially we have fully paid in serval months (confirmed and paid on 4 Feb 2023 for the booking on 1-3 Aug) 3. We booked 3 rooms (7 persons) for 2 nights (1-3 Aug). Maybe pre-empting us can release more rooms for others, and maximize the revenue as we might paid less (booked in 6 months in advance) 4. Very short notice ie we received the relocation message at 16:18 on 1 Aug that we were on the way to Legendary Hotel Hella. I strongly believe the overbooking happened at least a month ago but I had only 2 hours notification time 5. 2 receptionists are inexperienced to handle such disaster issue. The manager, the decision maker, was hidden and not face to or talk to the customer directly. 2 Receptionists were not able to explain the situation nor to comport their customers. 6. We were relocated to Bru Country Estate, that required us to drive about 1 hour to there. 7. Hotel Hella booked 3 rooms for us (7 persons) in Bru Country Estate for us but there are only double rooms (no triple room) in Bru Country Estate. It created another problem during the careless relocation booking. 8. We booked a local tour to Highland on 2 Aug. The itinerary was changed and shorted due to longer travel time starting from Selfoss instead of Hella

    Loa’s nest is a clean, modern guesthouse just off route 1 in Hella. Mountain views and horse farms abound giving the location a calm and serene feeling. The guesthouse is run by a wonderful, kind family who cheerfully greeted us in the morning and shared friendly conversation over coffee and waffles. Spacious, simple rooms with comfortable beds gave us the best sleep we’ve had in Iceland. The private bath was also spacious and clean with modern, hot showers. We can’t recommend Loa’s Nest highly enough!

    Beautiful hotel with amazing staff and facilities. I went with my 12 year old son and we had the best experience. If you get the chance, ask the hotel if Fred is available for a private site seeing tour. Fred took us out for the day and it was one of the best experiences I've had. He took us to the most amazing natural wonders of Iceland and is incredibly knowledgeable about the sites and the history of Iceland. He's funny too! Highly recommended!

    I loved the place! It was our favourite house in our Icelandic trip. We were family of 5 and this house outside of Hella is just a paradise. Hot-tub is just lovely to have and Linda is wonderful to talk, very quick in replying. All was just perfect and I would love to come back! Kitchen is so stylish, Kjarval book of paintings was great to read and bathrobes were a cherry on top. I highly recommend this oasis. Takk fyrir!

    The hotel was excellent, the staff was extremely helpful and friendly, I felt like the team went above and beyond to make you feel at home. Magnus, the hotel manager was extremely helpful throughout our stay, he even helped us plan our days, giving us maps and suggestions for other sites to see. They called our room when the northern lights were out, that was helpful.

    We really loved the location - on a farm surrounded by nature with Mt. Hekla in the distance. The views were outstanding. We also really loved the food in the restaurant. We had dinner - Lamb Curry and fresh Char. So yummy and locally sourced. Breakfast was more than we imagined it would be. There were many options and we fell in love with Icelandic pancakes :)

    Really unique location, surrounded by trees on the edge of a majestic river. Well maintained paths made for a magical early morning walk during our winter stay. Extremely clean and well-designed modern cabin. Bed was super comfy. The compact kitchen has everything you need for meal prep. Highly recommend a tour of the Hella Caves, located nearby.

    Fabulous location on the riverbank set among pine trees. Hella is on Route One (ring road) and very convenient for South Coast, Thingvellir and Selfoss. The cabins are quite basic but have a fridge, cooking hob and small kitchenette. Beds clean and comfortable - nice and warm to come back to after a late night Aurora Hunting.

    The hotel was fine. Very simple. Good location. The bed was very comfortable and there is a fridge in the room which is convenient. The restaurant of the hotel is very nice ( and they serve horse steak which was the first time for me in Iceland).

    The hotel was perfect to see the Northern Lights, which we managed the first night, so we were lucky. Wish we stayed longer since the location was helpful for all the driving we did around Iceland. Really cozy and friendly staff.

    The Legendary Hotel Hella is great value for money. It doesn't have an amazing breakfast, but it's good for the price, especially when compared to other places in Iceland. Beds are comfortable, heating worked well, good shower.
