The area with green fields. Comfortable beds, a nice kitchen and ice cream shop!
United States of AmericaThe breakfast was very good. The kitchen was well equipped.
IsraelThe location was perfect, and the staff were so nice. My room was quiet and well equipped. Breakfast was excellent.
United States of AmericaBreakfast was more formal than at most guesthouses since they have multiple guesthouses through this same organization!
IcelandWe booked at Skútustaðir very last minute as the roads conditions were changing. The area is amazing and worth booking and staying a couple of nights or more if haunting auroras. Bedroom wasn’t big but beds were really comfy and the heating was working perfectly. The bathroom was really comfortable as the shower has folding doors and it provides both space and a big shower. Breakfast was really good with eggs from their hen, homemade jams and a big variety of both savory and sweet food. Lovely staff and location!
SpainThe breakfast was exceptional. Soffia was so wonderful to communicate with and made sure we were comfortable during the winter week in the north. She even upgraded us to the cottage which is beautiful!
United States of AmericaThe room was basic and comfortable and clean. We had a room with bathroom in what looked like a portable building but was actually more solid than that. The breakfast was excellent because it included locally-smoked fish and homemade jams and pate. The communal kitchen was in a neighboring building and had a bit of a hostel feel to it, but it was well-stocked and very clean. I was especially thrilled that laundry was available. You have to pay for it but then they do the laundry for you; no waiting around! And their little ice cream shop is definitely worth a stop!
NetherlandsThe farmhouse is run by a family, and they are great hosts. There was a blizzard during our stay, and they helped us determine the quality of the roads once the storm passed. They also washed and folded our laundry for a small fee. There's a delicious free breakfast each morning with items from the farm and everything you could need to fuel a day of traveling. The host even provided us with some medication for pain when one of us needed it. They are located directly next to the craters of the lake which makes for a nice walk and right next to a hotel that you can enjoy some time at the bar after a long day if desired. Wonderful place to stay.
United States of AmericaThe location is really great if you are coming from the geothermal pool. The cottage itself is very nicely done and has all the amenities needed. The bathroom is kept clean as well and it is quite spacious. The breakfast served in the mornings is delicious.
