The prices were extremely high. $41 for a hamburger. A beer was $15. Thankfully they had a hotpot for warming water. We brought cups of soup and noodles. Breakfast was free!

Bed was extremely comfortable. View from room was breathtaking. It was nice to be in the quiet. We enjoyed hiking and soaking in the baths and relaxing in the sauna.

Nothing.

The location plus the design and facilities are unbeatable, unless you prefer staying in a tent in the wind and rain :) Very beautifully designed rooms with all comforts. Excellent restaurant. Sauna and hot tubs. Its expensive but consider it a gift to yourself. Be aware that the groundfloor does not have the 'sit in the window' feature but rather a patio in front of the large window.

Unfortunately, after a power shortage, the light couldn't be fully switched off afterwards. But no serious matter.

Amazing hotel in the Highlands. Very kind ranger who provided us with hiking information every morning. Great restaurant! Nice hot pool. Staff was friendly, helpful and professional.

The beds could have been more comfy.

Fantastic and magical place. I liked that the hotel looked and felt new and design-forward. Also, loved the view!

The most remote and yet the most beautiful hotel we stated in in Iceland. Cosy, comforting, delicious food and very friendly staff. The walks around the highland base are simply breathtaking with the red volcanic stone of Kerlingafjoll. An absolute must.

Cost does not match the offer.

Great location and nice place but hotel is very over rated. Cost is not justified except by the fact that this is the only place available in the area.

The Highland Base is an absolute gem nestled amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Kerlingarfjöll mountains. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning scenery and the serene atmosphere. The hotel itself is a marvel of modern design, seamlessly blending into the natural landscape. Our room was comfortable and stylish, with large windows offering panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. But what truly elevated our stay from great to exceptional was the incredible service provided by the staff, especially Thomas and Eugenia. Their warm hospitality, genuine helpfulness, and attention to detail made us feel like valued guests throughout our stay. They were always available to answer questions, offer recommendations, and ensure we had everything we needed to enjoy our time at the Highland Base. Whether you're seeking adventure in the highlands or simply a peaceful escape in nature, the Highland Base is an ideal destination. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable Icelandic experience.

nothing. Everything was well thought out and amazing

This hotel and our adventures here were the highlight of our 10 day Iceland trip. The rooms are great. The meals are fabulous. Buffet style and delicious. So much care goes into each facet of the hotel. The sauna and hot springs also amazing. And the hikes from here are suburb. They also got us a guide for a half day trip way into the highlands . The staff are friendly and care about making this the special place it is. Like no other place in Iceland!

This is an amazing location and concept, however, our visit was ruined because the property hosted an ultra race with booming club music all morning. This did not befit and respect the sense of place that the landscape deserved and it was very much a surprise. We had booked a special stay for my wife’s 50th birthday months in advance and we were informed only a few days before our arrival of this unexpected and disruptive event. It was not at all the advertised or bargained for experience but we were halfway around the world. I hope the management takes this to heart and better respects the proper sense of place and guest expectations. The resort is a very nice and promising destination, but this was a poor choice poorly executed by management.

Bit pricy

Great setup

Just perfect, especially the nature

Be aware that if your room it is not at the top floor from 6.30 it is very noisy. The room was also overheated even with the heat off. There is not enough staff at the reception so the service there is not good. Although they have been helpful to send me my jacket that I forgot to Reykevik. The people working for kitchen and service very nice. Only staff at the reception are too stressed and not very helpful

Amazing location for the beautiful views you can get just a nice walk away. If you are lucky with the weather it is an unforgettable experience. The hot springs of the hotel are lovely. The food amazing. I highly recommend the experience

The hotel in the middle of nowhere! It was amazing!

The doors slam loudly. There is only a buffey option at dinnertime, I would have like to order from a menu for the kids because the ate very little and I paid around 12.000 kr for the dinner per person, that was a bit of a waste of money with the kids, one 12 year old and one 16 years old.

The arcitecture was superb, the location is beautiful, everything clean. The food was good.
