The polished concrete floor in the bedroom and the lack of lampshades made for a rather basic feel to the accommodation that in every other respect met our needs.

The breakfast was very good. The location only 5 minutes from Godafoss was great. Plenty of birds to observe along the track to the accommodation and from the bedroom. The complementary chocolate and drinks facility was topped up on the second day of our stay, which was a nice touch we did not get at other places we stayed for two days. The host was attentive without being obtrusive.

Hard to find

Beautiful view, nice staff

We arrived during some heavy snow fall… the owner was not there at this time so the road was completely covered in snow.. unable to see markers and navigate. We went off the road and had to get towed 1.5 miles down from the hotel. I know it was just bad timing.. but that was the only negative.

The location was beautiful. Incredible. Breakfast was delicious and Haddi was our host… he was very friendly, very very helpful ! This was our first destination when landing in Iceland and we definitely hit some *rough patches* on our way there. Haddi was very hospitable and not only did he feed us every morning, he helped us figure out where we were heading and offered to navigate us from the snow covered road. He made the first few days of our Icelandic adventure exceptional !

Absolutely perfect place!

A lovely clean guesthouse, which kept us very comfortable. Amazing breakfast, and very helpful staff. The location was beautiful very close to Godafoss. No tv, but we knew from before, it wasn't a problem for us :)

If your main goal to see the northern lights, this is the best place you can imagine. The sky is dark, no sources of light pollution around, mountains aside are not tall, so you see the sky from left to right without obstacles. We had chance to see beautiful northern lights, and it was awesome. Just use one of two large spaces on the road that lead to the hotel, there are the darkest spots for observing. Hotel is very clean and soundproof. Good breakfast.

Going from the reception to the building where rooms are located can be a bit tricky if it snows because of slippery ground. Breakfast could be better.

New building with big and comfortable rooms. Very helpful staff. Cool isolated place, excellent location to see northern lights.

Lovely room and breakfast! Location is perfect, very close to Godafoss. The host is very friendly too 🙂 (we were also lucky and saw the northern lights on our first night here! Amazing!)

We loved everything

We loved our stay there. The place, the landscape - could not be better! We were welcomed by nice staff and a super cute cat. Felt at home at breakfast, it was very cozy with good, tasty options as well.

Stayed in August 2023

Our bed was a bit squeaky and the doors were hard to close (as it is in many locations in Iceland to be fair) - small bits to improve upon.

The guesthouse is in a quiet location that is well-suited for catching the Northern lights, which we were able to see in the one night of our stay. The rooms are located in an adjacent building that is quite modern on the inside, next to this building is the main house where a nice breakfast is served.

The access road from the main road is gravel (which is anyway kind of standard once you leave the big roads), but we talk here about something like 2-3km, so not a big deal at all.

Great location to visit Godafoss but several other spots as well, couple of minutes drive from the main road. Very clean, comfortable and room was spacious enough. Breakfast was very tasty, choice wide enough - sweet, salty, eggs, bread, fruits and veggies, juice, milk, coffee, etc. Host was very nice and helped out with questions we had. Thanks!

It’s a minor thing, but not what I expected in a rural area. The light over the entrance of the guest rooms building was blinding, far exceeding lighting the parking area or way to the main house. A bit jarring for the country nights and dark night skies. (Most people may not mind this sort of thing.)

A very clean, comfortable, simply furnished en suite room. Good breakfast in the main house. Rural relaxing outdoor atmosphere in general.

despite my best effort the water still went everywhere outside the shower doors.

Very close to Godafoss which was convenient for our schedule. Self check-in instructions were sent ahead of time so arriving late was no problem. Hotel was very responsive to messages. They required you to take your shoes off at the entrance of both the hotel and the breakfast buildings, first time doing this in Europe and I liked it very much. There was also a super friendly cat just hanging around in the hallway waiting for cuddles.

2-3 km gravel road to reach the property

We truly enjoyed our stay at Fljotsbakki hotel! The owner and staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room and bathroom were spacious, comfortable and very clean! Breakfast was also good! Location is excellent, a few km from Godafoss.

I liked everything

Small boutique hotel- don’t let the exterior fool you. It is on a farm. The barn is converted into a very modern hotel. You can not beet it’s location across the street from Godsfoss. Nor it’s panoramic pasture views which are perfect for Aurora watching. Community room and breakfast room are lovely and the breakfast was a great start to the day.

Lovely location, clean cozy rooms and friendly hosts, we also saw the northern lights just before midnight which was an extra special addition to our stay!

Great home-like accommodation, friendly owner and helpful staff. Especially Anna was very nice. Thank you for a relaxing 4 days.

Just to note: it is 4km away from Godafoss, you likely will not be walking.

Great place for great Iceland reasonable price. Close to the beautiful Godafoss (do not skip the drive up to my favorite Aldeyjarfoss). Great breakfast - in addition to European staples, they had scrambled eggs and freshly made waffles were brought out while I ate. Spacious room.

There wasn’t a full length mirror in the bedrooms but we are on hiking trip so not really dressing fashionably anyways (there is a large mirror in the bathroom). They didn’t have the chocolate brownies every day.

This lovely hotel far exceeded our expectations! Firstly, we thought before arrival that there was not a kitchen or microwave to heat up food. However, upon arriving we realised that there was a full kitchen we could borrow any time during the day (except for mornings where they were preparing breakfast). We made friends with the staff there over our 3 day stay - a friendly Icelandic local who helped to convert the barns into rooms and two lovely ladies from Poland who made the best cakes! The rooms are extremely clean, well decorated and spacious. Beds were super comfortable. Each room has a kettle supplied with tea, coffee and these delicious Icelandic liquorice chocolates every day. They can do house keeping every day although we didn’t need it. The location is great. Right next to Godafoss but away from the crowds (was previously a farm) so we slept like babies every night listening to the river. It’s perfect for visiting the Diamond Circle - 40 mins to Husavik, 40 mins to Lake Myvatn area, 50 mins to Akureyri, about an hour to Dettifoss and Ásbyrgi Canyon. Will be staying here again if we return.
