Loved having a sink & mirror inside our room (only had to share toilets/showers...we didn't have any wait times). Nice communal kitchen and lounge area.

Andrew Canada

The location is great. It’s a cute little farm, next to a glacial river and hiking trails.

Garett United States of America

Good location in South Iceland close to a number of must see tourist sights on the Ring Road. The property overlooks a waterfall, and is very scenic. The apartment kitchen had everything we needed to make our dinner and breakfast.

Melinda United States of America

This guesthouse was comfy. The owners made fresh waffles which we appreciated for breakfast! The shared bathroom and kitchen was totally fine and we met some lovely folks.

Fawziah Canada

Apartment was clean, comfortable and updated. It included many extra conveniences such as a dishwasher and grill. Hosts provided delicious waffles.

Marie United States of America

Dalshöfdi Guesthouse is amazing! The rooms are clean, comfortable and the guesthouse has everything you need for your stay, and more. We were impressed with the care and details that created cozy environment. We enjoyed our stay and our morning walk to the waterfall nearby (feels like it is the the backyard). The waffles were such a good surprise after a long day on the road!
