Housed in a renovated farmhouse, Vatnsholt’s restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in a rustic setting. The menu offers regional specialties made with locally sourced ingredients including the on site lake.

The guesthouse is situated by Iceland’s scenic Ring Road, 70 km from Reykjavik. On-site parking is free for guests.

The place was in a remote location, easy to get to from the main road. It was perfect because we had no light pollution around us and we saw the northern lights very easily. No need to drive to another location. The room was very clean and tidy, we enjoyed everything about it. I would definitely stay here again!

This former schoolhouse turned guesthouse is 13 km south of Selfoss and the Ring Road. It offers a communal kitchen and free WiFi.

Thingvellir National Park is a 45-minute drive from Gaulverjaskóli Hostel. A public swimming pool is within 10 minutes’ drive.

We enjoyed a fantastic stay at the old school house! Greg and Magnea are very kind and welcoming. This booking is not just a place to sleep but an experience that I would recommend 10/10! The rooms are incredibly cozy and quiet with comfortable beds, the communal areas are super clean and the location is just very special. The surroundings are stunning, you can watch the stars at night from the hottub outside and if you’re there at the right time - catch aurora! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Great location, very clean, excellent social area, inside was hotter than we ever imagined, great bathroom. Stayed in three different hotels during our trip to Iceland. This was the fist also cheapest. It set the bar really high. Oh yeah and it was really quiet as well.

Welcomed by the nicest host, the room was so cosy and charming with a perfect toilet and shower in the room, a kettle some tea and cups, and a little fridge. With a cafeteria nearby you can go to and enjoy. Great value for money!! Cant recommend this enough, just go there and enjoy.

    The guesthouse is really nice, we have enjoyed the common area with a pool table. Moreover, the breakfast is affordable and you have a good selection of toast, marmelade, cereals, waffles as well as juices. Also great location, surrounded by horses.
