    Hella a bit sparse.

    Hella a bit sparse. No good restaurants that we found and they stop serving at 9pm. Not much to Hella but it was in the countryside and we saw the Northern Lights. Our hotel was well lit so we could find it but they would not turn off the lights to view the Northern Lights better.

    Small central town, great for staying at the igloos, and great for going all round. So nice to go east to Vik for the Katla ice caves, skogafoss and the waterfall hike, and Vik beach and west for kerid crater and blue lagoon and then north for gullfoss and the geysers. The town itself has a small supermarket, nice bakery and okay places to eat. Looks pretty with the mountains to the side.

    We were not happy with the accommodation.

    We were not happy with the accommodation. The front desk staff were disorganized. We were told a day before check that we would have 2 cabins instead of the 2 rooms we booked in the main hotel. When we arrived we were told we would get 2 cabins. When we checked I across the street, we were told we had one cabin which was a downgrade for us. One adult had to sleep in an upper bunk bed and the cabin was smelly , some windows did not fully close and the main door did not lock. We were quite disappointed in the accommodations. The cabin was not in good shape. We specifically booked 2 rooms to get 2 bathrooms period. Based in all of this, we would like to request a partial refund.

    Extremely lousy management, relocated and downgraded to s cabin nearby with no wifi, handwash or toiletries. Reason given- overbook, well not a acceptable reason in 2023! Avoid at any cost, overpriced for bad service

    Beautiful, clean, modern home with spectacular views.

    Beautiful, clean, modern home with spectacular views. Location of home is quiet, on a horse farm, about 30 minutes from the main town of Selfoss. It was a good location to explore the south. We would stay there again!

    Terrible relocation experience due to overbooking. 1.

    Terrible relocation experience due to overbooking. 1. Unacceptable reason of overbooking in real time booking system especially we have fully paid. 2. The selection of customers for relocation is not transparent, not logical and also not acceptable, especially we have fully paid in serval months (confirmed and paid on 4 Feb 2023 for the booking on 1-3 Aug) 3. We booked 3 rooms (7 persons) for 2 nights (1-3 Aug). Maybe pre-empting us can release more rooms for others, and maximize the revenue as we might paid less (booked in 6 months in advance) 4. Very short notice ie we received the relocation message at 16:18 on 1 Aug that we were on the way to Legendary Hotel Hella. I strongly believe the overbooking happened at least a month ago but I had only 2 hours notification time 5. 2 receptionists are inexperienced to handle such disaster issue. The manager, the decision maker, was hidden and not face to or talk to the customer directly. 2 Receptionists were not able to explain the situation nor to comport their customers. 6. We were relocated to Bru Country Estate, that required us to drive about 1 hour to there. 7. Hotel Hella booked 3 rooms for us (7 persons) in Bru Country Estate for us but there are only double rooms (no triple room) in Bru Country Estate. It created another problem during the careless relocation booking. 8. We booked a local tour to Highland on 2 Aug. The itinerary was changed and shorted due to longer travel time starting from Selfoss instead of Hella

    Perfect, quiet location in the Hellatún countryside. The house was spacious, very clean, and had all amenities, including a washing machine for clothes and a personal hot tub! Linda was extremely accommodating and very pleasant to work with. We stayed there two separate nights on our trip, and we’re looking forward to getting back to Hellatun Guesthouse for our second night. Restaurants in the area are sparse, so either come prepared or know that you’ll need to drive a little bit to get to a restaurant. The views were incredible!

    Loa’s nest is a clean, modern guesthouse just off route 1 in Hella. Mountain views and horse farms abound giving the location a calm and serene feeling. The guesthouse is run by a wonderful, kind family who cheerfully greeted us in the morning and shared friendly conversation over coffee and waffles. Spacious, simple rooms with comfortable beds gave us the best sleep we’ve had in Iceland. The private bath was also spacious and clean with modern, hot showers. We can’t recommend Loa’s Nest highly enough!

    Our stay was excellent. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, the room was nice and the dinner which could be ordered in the restaurant was delicious. It's a bit pricey, but I had the impression that it was high quality food and also the free breakfast was very good. The spa was also a nice plus, we used the jacuzzi (outside) and the sauna in the evening. I'd always return there to stay in a great hotel on the way to Landmannalaugar.

    Beautiful location and spectacular path to the property. It was beautifully furnished and super warm. Although we did not get to see the the northern lights the rain falling on the top of the igloo made us feel really cozy and comfortable. Waking up with the sunrise was super lovely. Highly recommended stay and just an hour away from the capital region of Iceland and a short trip to Hella were you can find something to eat

    wonderful hotel. The staff was incredible and extremely helpful. The food in the restaurant was the best I had on my trip. Everyone must try the wild mushroom soup! The towels were thick and fluffy and so cozy! The bed could have been a little bit more luxe given that it was a four-star hotel, but it was still very comfortable. I loved the wooden lodge theme. Would definitely stay here 100 times again.

    Really unique location, surrounded by trees on the edge of a majestic river. Well maintained paths made for a magical early morning walk during our winter stay. Extremely clean and well-designed modern cabin. Bed was super comfy. The compact kitchen has everything you need for meal prep. Highly recommend a tour of the Hella Caves, located nearby.

    We stayed in one of the cabins on a November trip to Iceland. Easy to find location and lovely views in the daytime. The cabin was comfortable, warm and spacious for two and the kitchen well equipped (fridge and oven). It was very useful having the restaurant nearby (although we didn't eat there the night we stayed) and the staff were friendly.

    The hotel and rooms are beautiful and really cosy. Great food, great drinks and lovely staff. We got to see the Northern lights as they woke us up in the early hours to see them. We had hired a car and got to see loads of great sights within a couple of hours drive. We would definitely come back and stay here again if we come back to Iceland!

    Fabulous location on the riverbank set among pine trees. Hella is on Route One (ring road) and very convenient for South Coast, Thingvellir and Selfoss. The cabins are quite basic but have a fridge, cooking hob and small kitchenette. Beds clean and comfortable - nice and warm to come back to after a late night Aurora Hunting.

    It's located right next to the Caves of Hella. The people who worked in the caves do not own this house, but they helped us more than once when we got stuck in the snow while in the driveway. We adore them. But there are lots of other, better places nearby. Skip this one.
