Very good place for overnight. Self check-in as usually in Iceland, so contact only by email but very good one. Comfortable beds. Decent breakfast, but I would prefer more vegetables.

Beautiful accommodation, you have the feeling of being immersed in nature. The room was a little small having two suitcases but very well equipped and clean. The view from the room was amazing and it was the perfect place to see the Northern Lights!

It's close to the diamond beach and the kitchen is properly equipped. The structure looks quite basic, including rooms, but beds are comfortable: for one night is completely fine.

We stayed for one night as part of our South Iceland road trip. Comfortable and clean rooms, good beds and even Netflix provided on the in-room television. We enjoyed really great food cooked in-house (both dinner and breakfast) which was delicious and authentically local. Staff were friendly, location was ideal. Access to the rooms was easy, being able to park right next to the door (useful when carrying bags in the snow).

There are many hiking trails and the staff at the visitors...
There are many hiking trails and the staff at the visitors center was very helpful. We choose a 3 hours hike - to the waterfalls and a viewpoint of the glacier. It was so beautiful! it took us closer to 4 hours but this included a long stop at the view point. You don't see that many bushes and greenery in other places in Iceland - so it was also very unique. On the way back we saw some beautiful birds that stayed with us for a little white before they disappeared into the bushes.
Be aware of the steep climbing that is required. However, all paths are well maintained and marked.
We had a lovely stay at Skalafell! Owned and managed by a welcoming local family, we stayed in one of the units facing the sheep meadow and loved it. Breakfasts were very nice and we had delicious dinners on two nights. The best part is that the guesthouse is located at the trailhead of a loop trail that takes you up close to one of the glaciers at Vatnajokull National Park, which we hiked one morning for an unforgettable experience!
A really lovely guesthouse, great for an overnight stay. The place was very clean and new.
The employee who was taking care of the place was really nice, showed us around and we chatted a bit about where he is from and what he is doing in Iceland.
The bathrooms were large and clean, with spacious showers where you comfortably wash and toilet in the same room.
The house is extremely clean, nicely decorated and furnished with new and beautiful pieces of furniture. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable.
The host are kind, available and extremely helpful. The atmosphere in the house is lively and cozy at the same time.
The homemade breakfast is delicious and filling. Many typical Icelandic dishes available.
The rooms were unique with some antique furniture. Hallways were full of antique furniture and needlepoint works of art. Waterfalls behind the hotel. Almost all food made from scratch
Close to route 1 and easy to get to
Owners and staff were great
Showed us their sheep and answered all our questions
Well maintained guesthouse. It looked brand new when we arrived autumn 2021. The traditional corrugated iron outside suggests that the property is an old farm, but the inside is completely renovated and modern.
Very clean room
Good breakfast included
Affordable and reasonable price in expensive Iceland
Our stay at Guesthouse Skalafell was lovely! Our room was comfy and clean. The breakfast meal was delicious and plentiful. We hiked along the trails with the river on one side and cliffs on the other! Spectacular! The hosts were warm and welcoming. Easy to find. We would definitely stay here again!
Spacious comfortable room. Good hotel. Relatively close for glacier excursions near diamond beach. Easily accessible. Enough parking. Helpful and friendly staff. It’s a big complex with a lot of rooms, but we liked the (family friendly) vibe around the complex and in the halls to the rooms.
Our host, Jan, was friendly and very helpful. He told us about a great 3 hour hike that started right at the guest house. Although the location is about 30 minutes from Hofn there is a hotel with a good restaurant nearby. Our room had a lovely view and the shared bathrooms were spacious.
Great, cozy hotel in a beautiful and serene area. We booked the room with shared bathroom. The room and the bathroom were both neat and clean. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Great place to stay near Fjallsárlón, Diamond beach and Jökulsárlón (30 minutes away).
A very lovely hotel, enjoyed our stay. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was wonderful.
The breakfast buffet was great, lots of choices of eggs, meats, cheeses, including various homemade breads and jams.
I would definitely recommend Hotel Smyrlabjorg.
1) Breakfast is big, biggest during our one week travel around Iceland
2) Staffs are friendly
3) decoration are quite thoughful, artistic
4) can drive to both sides, Höfn or Vatna, easily
Staff very friendly and accommodating. We arrived after 10pm and they were able to provide us with dinner. Good spread for breakfast. We learnt a bit from the host about Iceland farming.
I love this hotel! located between the iceberg lagoon and Hofn it is picture perfect. The staff is impeccable. Clean, quaint, excellent dinners and sheep.
