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!

This was a very fun location - on a farm outside of Hofn. We enjoyed see the farm and the huge variety of birdlife on the drive to the property. Spacious, clean room and decent continental breakfast.

This was the best hotel I had stayed during my Iceland trip. The selling point of this room was how close we are to the view. Be sure to book the room with mountain view. The other rooms would be face the carpark. The room is a nice big size. Breakfast was decent too, just enough. I like that it was more like a motel feel. The black outer colour gave a luxurious feel. We had come from Vik and stayed the first night here. The next day was a short drive to Vestrahorn/Stokkness/Viking village. We finished it by 3pm and rested the rest of the evening. Perfect stay if you want to visit those places. Would definitely love to stay again.

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.
Everything about this guesthouse is great!
The owner was icelandic and very friendly. She even let our friend to use the showers for free and sleep in her camper van on the property!
The guesthouse is well equipped (2 shared bathrooms/restrooms!) and the breakfast was yummy, with homemade products.
The bedroom was roomy, with comfy beds. Everything was clean and functionnal.
The location is pretty quiet and the view is nice over the fields. You can see the ocean in the distance.
We actually didn't make it here. We were stranded in Vik due to the high winds blowing off our luggage in the top luggage compartment in the car. The hotel staff, Virna, was excellent! She was super helpful and it worked out because an unexpected tour came in and they were short two rooms so we were able to cancel without charge. Heard great things about this property. Wished we had been able to make it there but appreciated how kind they were of our situation.
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!
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.
Everything. We stayed in 6 different places during our two weeks in Iceland. We all agreed that this was hands-down the best. The beds are super comfortable. The view is incredible. The sounds of the river coming into the cabin all night are dreamy. The breakfast is delicious. The host is lovely. We’ll definitely be back here (someday)!
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!
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.
The 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.
Beautifull place, in the green under a waterfall and near a little steam.
The little houses are perfect, they make you feel at home.
The staff is smiling, gentle and very helpfull.
Good breakfast and nice view of the Icelandic landscape.
Hotel rooms were very spacious. Staff was very nice, even offered to microwave our food since restaurant was already closed. Great variety of options for breakfast. Location was great for Jokulsarlon.
Excellent buffet breakfast included and nice selection in dining room the night before.
Very large, comfortable en-suite room in the older section of the hotel. “Country House” feel.
