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.
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!
Beautiful hotel with amazing staff and facilities. I went with my 12 year old son and we had the best experience. If you get the chance, ask the hotel if Fred is available for a private site seeing tour. Fred took us out for the day and it was one of the best experiences I've had. He took us to the most amazing natural wonders of Iceland and is incredibly knowledgeable about the sites and the history of Iceland. He's funny too! Highly recommended!
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
Either a short stop on the road or a stay as starting point for excursions. A hidden gem. More family home than hotel, staff was very nice and helpful, breakfast beat everything else we experienced on the trip, great coffee (a decent plus!) and the dinner provided showed the excellent cooking skills. Go for the dessert as well! Hot tub available.
Nice breakfast and dinner. Big glass walls in the restaurant with a view of the river. Hotel is in a big flat plain, so not amazing scenery or anything. Lots of wood, kind of a country cabin atmosphere. They have outdoor hot tubs. They are not very fancy hot tubs. Still, fun to have a drink in, I bet!
Simple twin bed and probably what we paid for but thankful to be given private toilet and bathroom. Breakfast simple but good enough. Friendly and helpful staffs at hotel and restaurant too. Had Pizza and soup at the restaurant. Price reasonable. Free car parking outside building.
We stayed for one night during our road trip down the south coast and it was great value for money. Clean, warm and spacious apartment, very comfortable beds, quiet location. The room had a kettle. Good breakfast with some warm food options. A great hotel for a short stay.
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.
The hotel was well located at the end of the Golden Circle drive and provided spotless spacious rooms. The simple bar and restaurant provided sound meals with the included breakfast being generous and with lots of options. A good safe option to start the Ring Road drive.
It was the best breakfast we had in Iceland with good variety of cold and hot items such as waffles, bacon and eggs. Good location close to attractions. The restaurant had reasonably priced food (for Iceland). The hot tub was a nice amenity. Friendly staff.
most magical location elevated on a snowy hill by a winding river blanketed by stars and northern lights. boutique feel with great Nordic interiors. staff were wonderful. sooooo much better than the locations of larger hotels near by. simply magical.
Host is so kind and helpful
We can contact her everytime if we need her support
It is perfect house
This house is like 5 star hotel
It is good experience for me
I will visit again if i come to visit in iceland again
Great place to stop over when travelling along the southern parts of Iceland. It’s conveniently located near a petrol station and some small shops and local restaurants/food trucks. The room was very spacious.
Wow! Stracta blew away the competition!! Gorgeous hotel; lovely, modern and spacious. Hot tubs to watch the Northern Lights. The food at the restaurant was practically gourmet. Highly recommend!!
Amazing location in Hella - clean, cozy, nice view and caring hosts. Hot outdoor show was a nice treat. Make sure to stop by at the Audkula cafe for a cup of coffee and a sandwich.
Nice south countryside Iceland hotel with a horse farm next to it. The staff was excellent. The staff called to let us know about the northern lights. The breakfast was excellent.
The hotel is in a beautiful location, right on the river with a great view. It has a mini kitchenette inside so if you wanted to cook your own food, you could do so.
