Umi Hotel, hotel in Skogar

Featuring a lounge and views toward Eyjafjallajökull, Umi Hotel is located at the foot the famous volcano in South Iceland. It features a terrace and views of the sea.

Absolutely extraordinary location. The private beach is breathtaking. As is the view. I also truly enjoyed the stunning yoga and meditation room.

Guesthouse Skógafoss, hotel in Skogar

Located in Skogar, 1969 feet from Skogafoss Waterfall, Guest house Skógafoss provides accommodations with free WiFi and free private parking. Access to a kitchen is available for guests.

Great location just under a km from Skogafoss waterfall. Very convenient if you like to enjoy the waterfall in the early morning or at night (photography). Private entrance and private bathroom for the single room. Nice shared kitchen with all amenities. Single room is very small, but serves its purpose perfectly. Host even left a small heater in case I needed it for the cold night. Would stay again.

North Star Cottage, hotel in Skogar

Overlooking the Eyjafjöll Mountains, these self-catering cottages include a kitchenette and furnished terrace. They are located by Eyjafjallajökull Glacier, 1 minutes’ drive from Iceland’s Ring Road.

The location under the mountain is amazing But it is really crowded with a lot of cabins and cottages which made the place less appealing

    Skogafoss is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world, impressively large, and if there is even a little bit of sunshine, there will be a rain bow in front of the falls. The town of Skogar includes a noteworthy folk history museum.

    Great place to stop at while driving to Vik!

    Great place to stop at while driving to Vik! There are many things to see and do and endless hiking paths to follow. A few waterfalls around including Kvernufoss, which was amazingly hidden, but very near the Skogar Museum. The museum offers a variety of exhibits on history of the area ( outside part including turf houses), but also technical part - really amazing and great thing to do when the weather is not promising. We stayed at hotel Skogafoss and we had a real blast there! Highly recommended due to facilities and service alike. There is a Eyjafjallajökull visitor centre, right below the volcano- unfortunately closed during winter season. We drove and walked to Seljavallalaug hot spring natural pool, where you can swim, however water is quite cold. The surroundings is beautiful though. Further south you can drive towards Dyrhólaey and Reynisfjara/Black beach. We loved Skogar area very much and had amazing time at different spots around.

    The hotel is located very close from the waterfall.

    The hotel is located very close from the waterfall. The waterfall is spectacular! I recommend to go all the way up the stairs and walk around the trail and enjoy the marvelous view. It is a quiet and small town with very friendly people 😀

    The waterfall is the highlight, and if you have time, you should walk a bit further on the trail above it. It’s a beautiful hike. The folk museum is amazing, sounds corny, but it’s really good. It has an excellent cafe too. Area is close to Vik and the black sand beaches. The bistro at hotel Skogafoss is consistent and the food is good and reasonably priced for Iceland. Sadly the ‘secret’ waterfall now has a highway trodden too it and lots of erosion on site as people have climbed all over the grass outposts and killed all the vegetation.

    Our whole experience at the hotel was brilliant. Staff were excellent and willing to help with any queries - they even alert you if the Northern Lights are appearing during the night :) - restaurant had lovely food for both breakfast and dinner with a good bar. Bedroom and bathroom were clean and spacious - bed was comfy with the window view of the mountains amazing. Visiting the beach (about a 20 min walk away) was a nice added bonus.

    Self-check in easy and straightforward. Staff were very nice and super apologetic about our first room being dirty (see below). The bed in our second room we were given was very comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and had a really big variety of foods to eat, staff were on top of replenishing food that had run out. Location was great, a 2min drive from Skogafoss.

    There is a lot good to be said about Umi. The biggest is the location and view. If you are planning a trip east or west, it is a great destination after a gold circle day or when you come from the glacier lagoon, before you embark on the golden circle. Views are great; the dinner restaurant serves excellent food and the breakfast is sumptuous for a great start into the day.

    Wonderful hotel, it absolutely exceeded our expectations. The receptionist, Octavian, was super helpful and kind. The room, although small, had everything we needed and it was very comfortable. The restaurant was very nice. Waking up and seeing the Skogafoss waterfall from our window was beautiful.

    They staff were friendly and helpful. The location was a short walk from Skogafoss waterfall and the Skogar museum was next door. We chose Kverna due to the location as we had certain places we wanted to visit nearby and further afield. It was our base for 1 nights before moving up to Fludir.

    You couldn't ask for a better location, just down the street from Skogafoss. I used the single room with access from the outside and it was perfect for my needs. The main part of the building has a nice kitchen with everything you need. Everything was spotless and tasteful.
