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).StephanieAustralia - 10Scored 10
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.AdvaIsrael

- From $254.31 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,545 reviewsLovely family owned business! Everyone who works there was extremely welcoming, especially the receptionist who told us the history of the family run farm and hotel and about the decorations at the establishment. The meals were incredible, using as many farm to table ingredients as possible, and the rooms were big and comfortable. This is a great hotel to stay at with a great location- we were able to see the northern lights at night during our winter stay. Couldn’t recommend enough!LLexiUnited States of America
- 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 724 reviewsWe 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!MarcUnited States of America

During our stay an orange alert was announced due to bad weather conditions. We were stuck in the hotel and the family was so kind they gave all the information for choosing a safe travel plan and they let us stay almost till the end of the day. Food was exceptional and fabulous... Thank you Ms Pirna for your support...
INDUCHOODANUnited Arab Emirates - 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 287 reviewsA 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.AdrianaBulgaria

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.valerieCanada
- From $254.31 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,545 reviewsWoke up with a view of waterfalls and sheep, followed by the best hotel breakfast I think I've ever had. I'm a budget traveler but spent a bit extra on this one for the location (close to glacier) and it did not disappoint! Large and comfortable room and an overall great 1 night stay.
JuliaUnited States of America - From $254.31 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,545 reviewsThe location of the hotel is great when you want to see the glaciers and diamond beach. Staff was friendly and the breakfast was very good. We were lucky to see the northern lights and the almost non existent light pollution helped in getting the best view.
