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!

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 £211.42 per night8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 727 reviewsThe evening dinners were very tasty! I think the best lamb dish I had in Iceland was here. There was also a good selection at breakfast. The staff were so friendly and helpful. There was a very hospitable atmosphere to the place. Our room was a good size and, bar the curtains, had been modernised well. There was also a sink, which was helpful as we were sharing the main bathroom facilities. You really felt you were in the wildness, and from our window you could hear sheep and the nearby waterfall.
EmilyUnited Kingdom - From £228.53 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 1,545 reviewsA lovey family hotel in a remote, picturesque location right on the ring road. The family room was a great size, lots of room for luggage and space for children to play. The shower was a little outdated, however this didn't bother us. Staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant severed a variety of delicious meals and including a children's menu. The highlight was the breakfast spread, with an array of home made baked goods and preserves, hot options, cold meats and cheeses, cereals and fruit.SarahAustralia
- From £211.42 per night8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 727 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 - 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 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
