Our room was very spacious and comfortable. We were greeted by a friendly person and made arrangements for a great dinner. The breakfast, which was included, was very good with many choices. I would definitely stay here again.

They upgraded our room to mountain view which is always nice. I was very happy with the choice. Hotel along route 1 and was sunny longer than the others located before in town. Very modern, quiet and close to beach.

Easy to find off the main road, room was spacious and comfortable for 3 adults. It was clean and modern, nice restaurant and bar onsite, you should opt for breakfast included as it was fabulous: a very comprehensive spread of breads, cheeses, yoghurt, cereal, pastries and so much more.

The location, the hostel is centrally located in Vik and that's about the only good thing I have to say about it. Oh, the man working in the reception in the hotel was very nice and the bed was comfortable.

Cozy town tucked against a black sand beach with beautiful mountainous terrain and multiple viewpoints and other attractions within short driving distance. Definitely a town everyone should stop in when they are visiting Iceland.

Must try black crust pizza.
Must try black crust pizza. The lookout point at Dyrhólaey panoramic views, don't miss it and of course the Black Sand beach. To visit the crashed US plane, either we can walk for 3 hours (both ways) or take shuttle which will cost ISK3000 per person.

Vik is a picturesque gem tucked along the country's stunning south coast! Reynisfjara Beach is easily accessible, where black sand meets crashing waves with towering basalt columns as the backdrop. The wind can get too strong which makes a part of the beach dangerous (sneaker waves warning), but it is still well worth visiting. The town is charming with cozy cafes (try the black crust pizza!), the locals are warm and welcoming. This town is the perfect location to embrace the opportunity to disconnect and immerse yourself in Iceland's raw beauty.

We stayed in Vik for 3 days. Totally loved it.
We stayed in Vik for 3 days. Totally loved it. It is quite a small town, but has a big supermarket (kronan), a really great quality hiking clothes/supplies store, plus a number of cafes and places to eat. We recommend Sudur Vik Restaurant especially.
We did the Katla Track ice cave tour which was amazing and left from Vik!! Also recommend Icelandic Mountain Guides Snowmobile tour - meeting point 25 mins drive from Vik. Black Sand beach is great, as is local open air pool.
We stayed in the Vik hotel which is fabulous, but as we were there for three days, I would have preferred an apartment. The hotel also operates the Vik Apartments (which I hadn't realised before I booked) - they look really good.

We based our family of 5 in Vik to explore the southern coast over 3 nights with our rental car. We found it easier to have one base rather than a different hotel each night.
We visited the Skogafoss Waterfall, Black Sand Beach, YODA caves, gorge hike, Glacier walk at Skaftafell and then onto the Glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach.
We didn’t eat out as it was expensive for what appeared average food so we went to the local supermarket and cooked back at our self catered apartment.
Vik offers lots of adventure based companies who organise tour and expeditions.
This is a beautiful little apartment, really quiet and remote area which would be perfect for seeing northern lights (if forecast). The apartment itself was lovely, plenty room for cooking and space to store luggage, dirty boots and jackets etc. And the bed is big and comfortable. It’s the perfect location for traveling the south coast, and only 10 min drive from Vìk. Hosts were great, always quick to respond to messages. If we visit Iceland again, we would definitely stay again!
Located in the middle of nowhere - still near Vik i Myrdal - the Volcano Hotel is lovely place to be!
The hotel itself is special and charming, the environment is very quaint. The fact that you can enjoy the latter at any place of the hotel - especially during breakfast - is a big plus!
Also the staff was really friendly and welcoming.
In a nutshell: One of the best (and cheapest | out of eight) accommondations we had during our trip in Iceland.
I really liked the breakfast. It was very fulfilling. The pastry was so yummyyy! And the smoked salmon! Arrghh writing this made me hungry again. The room was also nice because it has ensuite bathroom. For the price, if you compare it with another country, it can be considered expensive. But if you compare it to Iceland's hotel price range, it was reasonable. Some guesthouse even have similar rate but with shared bathroom and no breakfast
This was an extraordinary stylish and beautiful hostel. My daughter and I stayed in a room with 6 bunkbeds. The showers and bathrooms were spotless. There was a small bar and you could purchase coffee and baked goods for breakfast. We didn't cook but they had a great kitchen for those who prefer to carry and make their own meals. The location was excellent on the same road as one of the most famous black sand beaches in Iceland.
Located just 10min from Viki and the amazing Black Sand beach in a peace and quiet this place was absolute amazing. Little small but very cozy, and very comfortable.beds, in the kitchen we had everything we needed, fresh towels. Perfect place to stay in south of Iceland as many amazing places are to see and what's the bonus we got to see the aurora just from our balcony one night which was an unforgettable experience
This was my 5th visit to Iceland and for guesthouse stays this was my favourite!
As soon as you walk in you feel at home and you’re greeted with a big smile 😊
My room was so comfortable with amazing views over Vik.
The breakfast was fantastic and again with amazing views.
I even lay in bed and watched the Northern lights from my bedroom window 🥹
100% will stay here every time I visit Vik.
We had a room in the hostel. It was huge! Enough space for all our luggage and camera gear. Very clean room with a comfy bed; king size and two separate duvets. Also a lovely location, very close to a famous black beach in Iceland and Vik an 8 minute drive away. Vik had an excellent burger bar (fun and hip) and The Barn had a great bar open until 23:30 to come back to and enjoy.
The charm of the older hotel and rooms were very nice and the staff were friendly. The beds were clean and comfortable. A huge plus the restaurant next door was really wonderful the food was delicious! Also the breakfast in the hotel itself was very good and offered a great assortment of food! Our first night in Iceland did not disappoint at the hotel Puffin!
The facility of the Guesthouse is excellent. We were so lucky to get a "very very budget price" to rent this excellent guesthouse at Vik.
The lady owner is very nice. She prepared waffle batter for us for the morning breakfast. She also provided homemade jam for us.
This is the best Guesthouse during our stay at Iceland.
This hotel has basically become a second home to my wife and I. The owners, staff, rooms, views and food is honestly all we need at this point when we travel to Iceland each and every year. Just good, honest and lovely people working very hard and around the clock to ensure guests have an exceptional experience.
One of the cutest places we have ever stayed. The host treated us like family members. The house itself is located near the most famous beach of the Iceland,you can get there by foot. And after driving 2 hours around the Vik to see the Northern lights,we saw them in front of the house,when we came back.
We liked the hotel a lot. It had good quality rooms and excellent food. The variety of breakfast food was great - biggest choice we had in Iceland so far. The restaurant is also amazing. Would be great if they added some facilities like maybe sauna or hot tub, but cannot complain at anything. Thanks!
The hotel is very modern and easily accessible. We really enjoyed our room, we could see the beach from our bedroom window. We loved the breakfast, by far one of the best we had in Iceland, lots of choice. The hotel is very close to a great place called the soup company, we recommend it !
very pastoral, surrounded by farm animals and beautiful scenery! very comfortable bed, nice kitchen and living room for your use making it one of the best guest houses we have stayed at in Iceland so far! would definitely come back again if traveling around Iceland!
Location is perfect: quiet but also very close to Vik and Black Beach. Room is spacious and has a lot of storage space for the luggage. The parking is just at the door of your room which is perfect in rainy weather (that is very often in Iceland).
Excellent hotel, clean, beautiful, loved windows that opened to mountain, great staff all around, hotel desk attendant (Scottish woman) was great, dinner was amazing, lamb was best meal in Iceland, great breakfast
The best hotel we stayed at during our week in Iceland. Staff were all excellent, particularly the man on reception. Everywhere was modern, stylish and spotlessly clean. Amazing views from the restaurant
The best accommodation we experienced in Iceland. Nice and modern room with tons of space and private outdoor area. View of the water was amazing. The on-site bar and game area was a great surprise.
