Sólheimahjáleiga Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"We spoke with the owner extensively about her life on this farm and life in Iceland. The room was exactly as expected but the experience was more than we could have dreamed. She made sure to help us feel at home. We got to meet her here of sheep and learn about her family history. It was a dream to hear the local experience of life."

Welcome Lambafell

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay! Rooms were comfy and clean. The breakfast was yummy and while its a small array of items it was certainly enough to keep us going for an adventurous morning. Loved the coffee machine which can whip up anything you desire Including hot water for Ramen or cocoa (not provided but nice to have access to hot water). Was thrilled to see a microwave in the kitchen which we used to warm up some dinner. Wish the hot tub was a little tiny bit warmer, I only stayed in for about 5 minutes before getting too cold but we also visited in november and it was a chilly night. We had no issues accessing our room, a key is left for you at the front (there is no reception). I received a code shortly before our stay to access a lockbox. However we did encounter guests who had not received that communication and were stuck for a while and struggled to contact staff with the number provided. I would encourage you to make sure you are receiving messages from the property. Well before your trip they send you information about the property itself, itself, if you are a few days out and have not gotten that communication you may also have trouble getting your code as for me they were sent via the same method. You will want to check your messages/emails diligently and contact them early if in doubt because it would be a bummer to arrive and get stuck in the lobby for hours trying to access your key. Highly recommend this spot for a very convenient stay though!"

Hotel Skógafoss by EJ Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Literally next to the Skógafoss waterfall and the restaurant had one of the best lasagnas I've ever had in my life and the soups were absolutely amazing. Rooms are tiny like the majority of the hotels and the smell of the water was certainly different, but you could feel how soft it leaves your skin. Front desk was really helpful."

Ásólfsskáli Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"The place is absolutely beautiful and has everything you need for a perfect stay! The hot tub was fantastic, and all the instructions were clear and easy to follow. One of the highlights is the property’s own waterfall and charming bridge, just about 200 feet away. The host was excellent, very helpful, and always easy to communicate with. There’s also a cute little café inside the tractor museum, just steps away, serving delicious pastries and food. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommended! Thank you for everything!"
