Guest Houses in Iceland

Convenient location with free parking. It's a short walk to the city center and great for chasing the Northern Lights by the sea. Breakfast was just okay. The hygiene was good.

Great location, very clean hotel, and you can even see the cathedral from your room. It's within walking distance to Rainbow Street, the Phallus Museum, the Concert Hall, and Little Elephant Supermarket. Plus, free parking!

Solo trip. The location is excellent. It's about a 15-minute walk from the airport shuttle bus terminal, or you can arrange a drop-off. For day trips, the bus stop is #8. The room faces the church and has a kitchen. However, rooms facing the church also face the cemetery behind it. Of course, this is quite common abroad. Just tell yourself it's good for promotion and wealth. The hot spring water has...

Highly recommended, a perfect score! The location is right next to the cathedral, and bus stop 8 is just a 3-minute walk away, making it ideal for day trips. It's very clean; even though it has shared bathrooms, they are spotless. You can see the cathedral right outside the window!

I didn't have high hopes for this hotel, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise! The location is fantastic; the church is right outside the door, and I was so excited to be staying so close to it when I first arrived. There's free parking available at the entrance, but it's first-come, first-served. I stayed for two nights, and even though the bathrooms are shared, everyone kept them very clean...

The location is amazing, the room windows looked directly at the Hallgrímskirkja church! The room is small but comfortable, the bathroom is clean. The staff is very friendly.

Easy to check-in, Location was great

Kind and thoughtful staff, he put me in the 1st room so I don't need to drag my luggage long way to my hote rooml when I check in late at night. Hot water from shower was so nice. Room is comfy with large space to lay down 2 23" luggage and open ir. Breakfast was fresh made. Coffee is very strong to start a day in Iceland. Neighborhood is also very convenient with famous restaurants-Mika in walking...

Excellent value for money. It was very competitively priced with a free breakfast, and in a good location. The room was larger than expected and comfortable. The shower was powerful and the decor was nice. The breakfast was a buffet serving ample options of warm and cold food - which was delicious. The staff were friendly and the hotel was located within walking distance from the main attractions...

The room was clean and comfortable. The restaurant was super cute. The hot tub was open from 3 PM to 9 PM, not super hot but very relaxing. There's a chance to see the Northern Lights while soaking! We told them we were on our honeymoon, and they even prepared a lovely surprise for us. Highly recommend!

Close to a lot of great things with an excellent restaurant and wine bar in walking distance. Many waterfalls and other tourist attractions very close centrally, located. Self service check in. Included breakfast. 2 hot times

Easy parking lot right in front of hotel. Just beware it can get icy and slippery. It is self check in. So you’ll receive an email before arrival with the room number and code for the door so you can head right to the room. Our room was located on the second floor and was very spacious. The bathroom was clean and the shower was great. The hotel also has hot tubs outside and provides robes in the room...

A guesthouse you can find by taking a short detour off National Route 1. The accommodation itself is satisfying, but I especially recommend the handmade gelato from the farm. It is suitable for a one-night stay.

The scenery around the hotel is stunning, and the accommodations are tranquil and comfortable. It's incredibly close to the glacier, and the sunrise there is breathtaking. The breakfast is also quite good.

The hotel is beautiful, with a lawn in front of it where cows stand, sit, or lie down, overlooking Vatnajökull Glacier. It's as if the cows are growing on the ceiling. The rooms are well-equipped, but the soundproofing is poor. However, the foreign guests are very considerate; even the noisiest restaurant and lounge areas quiet down after 8-9 pm.

The hotel is very well located on the road to Hofn. The room was magnificent: large, with a breathtaking view of the mountains and glaciers. It looked like a picture on the wall, but it was our bay window. The staff was very friendly, the breakfast perfect, and the homemade ice creams were delicious and original (dandelion flavor, a delight).

Excessive price for a business that needs interior renovations. July is usually more expensive, but the value for money isn't right. It feels like a place that's been through a lot and the business is doing well, but compared to other guesthouses, it feels outdated. It lacks warmth. Breakfast was adequate.

The hotel is located in a big town with a nice surrounding. Go to the gas station to refuel and wash your car. The hotel rooms are fully equipped and comfortable, the front desk staff are warm and polite, and the parking lot is convenient for parking.

A nice and quiet place in the Selfoss area. We got a free room upgrade. We booked this hotel to stay after finishing the Golden Circle. We saw the northern lights here, after we were notified via a special WhatsApp group.

Decent room for it price. Location is good because it's in the countryside which offers good chance to see the northern lights but has easy access to selfoss (~30min with slow driving)

The hotel was clean, but the room had a slightly stuffy smell. There were only two electrical outlets in the room, so it was a bit of a hassle. The heating was adequate!

Awesome services! The staff are really kind and nice!

Hot water was hot and cold and there were about 10 flies when I entered the room, other than that everything was fine!

We stayed at Hotel Vatnsholt for one night and had a really pleasant experience. The staff were very welcoming and helpful – we arrived late in the evening, and they took time to explain everything clearly: the common areas (with games available until 11 pm), the breakfast setup, and then directed us to our room. A really nice touch was the free hot chocolate and coffee machine in the common area...

Had a great stay in studio No1. Big room with comfy bed. Very accommodating and kind owners. Airport shuttle was cheap for 2 people Vs taxi. Studios are close to the airport. Kitchen facilities were good too. Can't fault them!

We stayed one night before we flew home to UK. we’d rented a motor home and that company offered us a free transfer after dropping the van to our overnight accommodation. We were given Pod 20. All the pods are obviously the same and completely adequate for what we need. A comfy bed, a tv (take ear buds etc). Excellent showers and a kitchen area to make coffees etc too. The whole place is very, very...

We are 8 people . Apartments greats, clean, price very competitive. Staff very nice , Efficient, fast and attentive to any request.

Really good value compared to other hotels near the airport. Beds were very comfortable and the rooms well appointed. You have to self check in but everything went smoothly. We liked the common kitchen area plus the rooms have a mini kitchen and fridge.

Well, you sleep in boxes, it was fun for just one night stay, we arived very late at night and this was no problem at all. Compared to the low prices everything was ok. It would have been nice to be able to control the temperature in the box, but the air cycler did a fine job.

We had a wonderful family stay! The room was clean and spacious, the host was very kind and helpful. The amenities were great. Perfect location (close to Keflavik airport) and very family-friendly. Blue Lagoon is a short distance to reach by car. Highly recommended!

It was a good experience in Iceland however there’s very less amenities which is only beds toilet in the room and even there’s no microwave in the hotel.

The bed in the room was too soft, and I woke up with a backache. Also, the customer service was too slow to respond, and the room was completely empty.

It’s a very good location with decent price. The postcards are the cheapest I can find in the city. You’ll have access to nice food place from there.

Very convenient location just opposite bus stop no.9.

Jack at the front is very nice. The room is simple, but very nice people and yes, it was clean. Great price,Great location, and we will share to come back. Mr. Canada 🇨🇦

As location is in City, parking is an issue and extra cost. Shared showers were a mixture of standards. Kitchen was not regularly cleaned.

Cottage is very basic and rustic. Some cottages have parking in front, others do not. The bed was fine but the pillows were paper thin with one per person. Bathroom was clean but needed some tending to. Pictures look great online vs in person. If you’re looking for a decent location that is a bit budget friendly, the cottages are fine. Just expect a rustic look experience.

Cabin was warm, cozy and spotlessly clean upon arrival. Good restaurant on site. Great fish and chips from food truck just down the road. Beautiful walking trails close by as well.

Cottages were comfy and it was nice that the weather was good enough to sit outside on the patio. It would be easier if it was possible to park the car at the cottage though. Depending on where your cottage lies the way from the car park with a heavy suitcase can become quite long... Especially when it rains. Diner at the Arnarstapi center was rather underwhelming. Breakfast was better but it is not...

Ive stayed in better It was fine, bed was comfortable but the room was very bare bones, only one pillow, hot water only lasted 3-5min, felt like a $75 cabin you would rent in an american state park but they charged you $300 + a night. Ive stayed in better hotels in iceland that make more sense value to cost. Theres no view no skylite the big window you see just faces other cotages.

Staff was helpful to navigate us through the construction and using the cottage and our breakfast in the am

We loved this adorable little cabin. Amazing location for exploring the peninsula, with free parking. A few dining options nearby, although

Close to the BSI main bus station (airport bus drop off) about 10-15min walk. Self check-in is possible if you arrive late in the evening. You will be given the passcodes for entrance to the building and also to the rooms. You just have to contact them. As for my room, I stayed in a single bed. It is small but all good. It has its own sink which is pretty useful for doing skin care. It also has cabinet...

Excellent location. Very near the BSI bus terminal. Getting around the city is easy on foot or by bus.

I think it's great for groups of friends traveling together. For couples, the room might be a bit basic, but the kitchen and laundry facilities are really convenient, making it perfect for a more budget-friendly trip.

1st night in Reykjavík, our room located at after entrance need to go down one floor with twist type staircase which is so torturing for us, due to 3 of us with three 28cm suitcase and also our hand carry bag. Kitchen and dining area was good and all kitchen utilities is fully equipped, we expected oil is provided but is not One small problem is the water shower is very slow and the shower curtain...

This hotel offers decent value for money in Iceland. The elderly gentleman at the reception provided excellent service. Although the bathrooms are shared, they were very clean. They also offer a €5 breakfast. The location is superb, within walking distance to both the bus station and city attractions. The only minor drawback is the soundproofing; you can hear footsteps in the hallway. Everything else...

The curtains in the room were broken, so we couldn't close it fully. The fridge was little smelly too. The water had a strong sulphur smell. The location was okay.

Nice Stay , there is a shred kitchen. We cook at the kitchen very easily. Moreover, the owner had treat us as a free special coffee at nearby coffee shop. It’s a good taste of coffee very wonderful! 👍🏽🩷❤️

The shared kitchen was great. The location was also good. However, I took off one star because the bathroom smelled.

The room and bath were clean, and the beds comfortable. There's a full kitchen downstairs. The property is modern and well maintained. The restaurant in the next block was excellent. We enjoyed our stay.

We arrived at the hotel around 10 o'clock in the evening. In fact, the hotel is self-service. Fortunately, the waiter was about to get off work when we arrived. She told us how to open the door, how to go to the room, and how to check out. And enthusiastically asked us if we wanted help with the luggage. Although the room is small, only 13 square meters, the bed and quilt are very comfortable and cost...

The location is great, right by the lake, with a direct view of Church Hill.

Great location, lovely view from room, good kitchen facilities

I stayed in one of the seaview twin rooms with a friend for two nights. Check in went really smoothly even though we arrived later than anyone was there, we were given a code to the key and managed fine. The location was perfect, right near the whale watching tour we had come here to do. The whole place was so lovely and clean, feeling very homely and with a kitchen filled with everything you might...

Me and my family had the best time staying at Við Hafið! The staff is so friendly, nice and helpful. The rooms and overall place is so clean and homely i wanted to stay longer. The location is in such a terrific place with a beautiful view, and Ólafsvík is such a calm and nice little town. I happened to meet the owners while staying here and they could not have been nicer. Also there is a cute little...

Lovely place. Clean and beautiful view over the ocean. And although Kinga is in the process of learning better english, it was enough. She made up for it with her charm and lovely precence. We where in good hands with her for sure. Thank you Kinga, hope you will be there when we visit next time.

We stayed in a private room that was on the first floor and around the corner (directly across from the gas station). It was quiet with lots of privacy. The room and private bathroom were clean and very spacious. The location was great as it was on our route driving around the peninsula. There is a sign that said the electricity for the washer/dryer and the stove turn off at a certain time in the...

Nice guesthouse,, very clean. Rooms, bed, kitchen, bathrooms. Friendly staff.

Overall very clean and kind staff. Also everything in Olafsvik is reachable by foot from here. Two stars are missing because in booking it is not presented that much as a Hostel. Yes it is a Hostel too. And the value for money is a bit high. Had at the end a double bed Hostel room for 130€ one night. (no breakfast, no own bathroom, a kitchen for everyone,...)

Beautiful guest house. Large room with view of a volcano and most comfortable bed of my entire stay in Iceland. Modern bathroom. Very convenient to ferry. Easy parking. Very nice but not bougie just how I like it!

Great stay Enjoyed our stay here. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Check in was simple, and the staff was very kind. Walking distance to restaurants and grocery stores. I'd stay here again.

Very nice staff, gave us excellent sightseeing opportunities on their map

Lovely guest house within minutes of walking from the ferry dock. Lovely rooms, clean and well maintained. Nice breakfast to start your day. Good for a relaxing stay in Westman island.

Good location, walking distance to restaurants, supermarket. 4 parking lots out front. Dodgy shower gel, bring your own. No lift.

The accommodation was clean and well equipped. There are 2 supermarkets nearby and the ferry is only a 5 minute walk away. I can recommend the guesthouse.

The hotel was so comfortable with heating floor system. The breakfast was pretty simple but we appreciated the staff specially prepared the breakfast earlier for us as we need to head out earlier for our glacier excursion. We enjoyed the hot tub very much! We can even saw the glacier from the hotel room! Highly recommended!

We were only planning to stay 1 night but ended up extending twice. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the breakfast was excellent. The breakfast area has stunning views of Hoffellsjokull glacier, as do the amazing hot tubs, which are free to residents. If you want to go to the glacier, it’s about 4 km from the hotel along a river bed, which is only drivable in a 4x4 or you have a reasonable walk....

What a perfect stay. The included breakfast was good and hearty. They also catered to my gluten-intolerant partner. The hot tubs are a dream. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are warm. Beautiful view of the glacier from the hot tubs and our bedroom. Just... wonderful.

Beautiful hot tubs overlooking glaciers and a horse farm. There are four spacious hot tubs with access to clean and comfortable amenities. They also have a walk up bar for drinks and such. We spent about two hours soaking in the various tubs and enjoying the scenery. Perfect stop regardless of the weather, a great place to stop if you are in the area!

Really nice place to stay. After a busy day the included hot tub was a real bonus.

Arrive early so you can enjoy the hot tub& view. Beautiful setting and view from room. Comfortable bed and great breakfast and view in dining area.

Host was nice and friendly especially the goats tour. Guesthouse was very neat clean. Just little messy when taking shower. We also enjoyed the beautiful sunset from our unit. Great stay at Iceland.

Enjoyed the goat tour with the host. Clean space with a small kitchen.

It was a quite place. We got to meet the goats which was nice for the kids. There is a very nice waterfall Urradasi short drive.

The price was reasonable, and the location was very quiet, which I liked. Check-in was also very convenient. Although the room wasn't large, it was well-equipped. I recommend it.

We had such a pleasant stay. The property is on a gorgeous piece of land. It was very quiet and peaceful. The room was clean and spacious. Our bathroom was huge! It was nice to have the kitchen efficiency, as we made some breakfast in the morning before we left on our travels. I would stay here again.

We got a room on the second floor so we had to carry our luggage by using the stair. The room was spacious for 4 persons with well-equipped kitchenwares. The host was kind and she offered us to join the goat tour of her farm for free but we couldn’t make it because we arrived there later than the tour started. It’s easy to find the place on google map.

This was a wonderful place to stay outside Hofn. The staff was friendly, the cottages are comfortable and charming, and the breakfasts were delicious. It was probably my favorite place to stay in Iceland. We watched northern lights from our deck.

Wonderful place to stay My stay was wonderful. The owners are very nice, the guest house was great, and breakfast was phenomenal. This is a great option to stay. If you do, please give Magic some love for me.

Very nice accommodations, very clean, very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast.

Breakfast was delicious, owners were very conscientious and considerate, room design was modern and beautiful, beds comfy, everything perfect

A very beautiful place with a great view. The rooms are furnished in a very modern style. The hosts are extremely friendly, and the breakfast is highly recommended.

An amazing stay! The views were breathtaking, and the rooms spotless with high-quality bedding, a great shower, and lovely toiletries. Breakfast was outstanding, full of delicious homemade treats. To top it all off, we were lucky enough to witness a stunning aurora display. I’d highly recommend this place!

This was our favorite lodging while in Iceland! The owner was responsive and welcoming. The small house was incredibly clean and well supplied with everything we needed while there for three nights. The view was STUNNING! We saw the northern lights, watched horses, and played with the farm dogs! There was a good little pizza place about five minutes away and a grocery store and other stores about ...

This is a quaint and delightful location. The facilities are basic but more than adequate. The beds are comfortable and there are lovely views of farmland and ponies from the windows. Good communal space (there were four of us and you could have had more). A good base for a stay in Iceland.

We got to experience Icelandic farm life with our girls. They have horses, sheep, and dogs around the property. The dogs are so friendly they spent time playing fetch and following around our daughters.

What a super place to stay! Our family of four found it tremendous. The cabin is set up very well in terms of storage, beds etc, but also has other touches that make self catering so much easier, like providing washing up liquid, salt etc etc. The owner was charming and knowledgeable about the area. We were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights on our first night there - but the views out across...

We stayed at this lovely guest house last week and we are really happy to say that it was a cosy place, with all the amenities that you would expect for a comfortable stay. Hosts are super responsive and very organised. Self check-in , Check-out made it very easy for us. It is in a quiet location so perfect for seeing Northern lights too. We were lucky to see them 4 nights out of 5, inspire of the...

The property was cosy, clean, quiet and had exceptional views from the window.

We stayed in the main house and loved the homey feel. We truly felt like a part of the family.

This guesthouse is absolutely, positively in the middle of a sheep farm. The drive out to it is very fun as you're often encountering sheep on the road. They are not graceful animals. At the time of this review there was only one restaurant in the area for dinner located in Porshofn – the Holtid Kitchen Bar - about 20 minutes away. That town also has a grocery store open during regular hours. ...

The best included breakfast we’ve had so far.

Breakfast was very good. The cabin needs a better cleaning. Friendly people. We were there on a very foggy and rainy night so we couldn’t see much of the area.

We stayed in the Litla Brekka, cute little cottage. Was beautifully decorated with amazing views. Had everything we needed. The hosts were very hospitable. The Breakfast provided was amazing! Thanks to Hildur and Siggi for a lovely stay.

Really nice and cosy cottage and probably the best breakfast buffet we had in Iceland.

Didda and Erling are nothing short of amazing! What impressed me is their attention to detail. We slept like babies in those warm beds. We had everything we needed. There are also beautiful horses in the area. I’ll be thinking about this stay for a very long time. Takk 💙❤️🤍

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Clean, comfortable room with private bathroom. All ammenities included. Great WiFi, kind and welcoming hostess. Highly recomended

A quiet place and a great host.

So happy to have stayed here. We saw the the Northern lights! This place was convenient to the golden circle and super quiet. The hosts were wonderful kind ppl.

First and foremost, you need to know that this is an extremely clean and well-kept guest house. Right down to the broom in the room. The bedding is of high quality and very comfortable. The temperature is perfect, if you find it too hot you can turn down the radiator directly on the spot. The fridge and microwave provided by the owner and his wife were very useful as our aim was to save our budget...

The room was well thought out and had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable and had a great night's rest 😌. Breakfast was not encluded, but there was breakfast available for a cost.

Good location. Very good customer service.

This hotel is a perfect choice if you are visiting the golden circle. Staff are friendly and the room was clean and tidy. Will visit again!

The room is clean and warm. You can park in front of your room. There is a grocery store beside the hotel

Check-in was fine, it’s at The Hill hotel across the street. The room itself is very basic. No tv, no microwave, no mini fridge. Just a bed, couch and bathroom. Bed was comfortable. There isn’t a sidewalk leading into the door, you have to wheel any suitcases over gravel. Extra charge for breakfast, 3400 ISK per person. Dinner is also very pricey. We ended up getting takeout pizza from Mika Restaurant...

Small grocery very close to the property. We grabbed sandwiches there for a quick snack just before they closed at 7pm.

EV charger on site. Great location in the middle of the Golden Circle. There was a restaurant right next to the guesthouse, and the main Hill Hotel across from the guesthouse has a nice restaurant.

clean. close to airport. can arrange airport service. recommended

clean. close to airport. can arrange airport service. recommended

Convenient since it's very close to the airport. but wasn't a fan of the shared bathrooms

KEF Guesthouse is one of the closest and most affordable stays near Keflavík Airport — ideal for short or overnight layovers. The rooms are quite small but serve the purpose for a quick rest before or after a flight. The property offers free car parking, which is a big plus for travelers with rental cars. Facilities include shared bathrooms (only two) that are used by several rooms — around ten or...

Kef Guesthouse is super convenient if you’ve got an early flight the next day or if you land late at night, since it’s really close to the airport. We were four people and stayed in a room with a double bed and a bunk bed, plus a sink. The bathrooms and showers were shared but clean, so no problem there. We also added breakfast, which was buffet-style and pretty good — they had boiled eggs, yogurt...

Not convenience for the shared toilet

We had a lovely stay at Vallakot Farm Guesthouse. The studio was well-equipped and very clean. We had a comfortable night’s rest after a long day of driving. We also got to meet one of the owners who was so kind. Check out their vegetables that are grown and sold on their farm!! Highly recommend :)

A relaxing and comfortable stay in one of the guesthouses. The farm has plenty of animals to see and a resident dog that greets you. Easy parking. House has built in fridge and equipped kitchen for cooking. Did some reading on the deck and enjoyed a cup of team in the morning outside as well. The hot tub is enjoyable at night. Convenient location and easy access to nearby attractions in the diamond...

The unit we occupied was between two others. So, a little like a motel, but with a lovely rural atmosphere. Lovely little table set on the deck which overlooked the pastures. At the corner of the building was a hot tub which the owner filled upon arrival with geothermal water, which was then emptied after we'd gone to bed. Loved the hot tub and was one of the warmest we used while in Iceland...

We had a wonderful stay at Vallakot Farms. The location was perfect for us - coming from Husavik, and being out home base to visit Myvatn and Godafoss. The room was clean and quiet, with a wonderful view of the farm. The owners provided us clear instructions about our visit in advance and we felt very welcomed. Our kitchenette had everything we needed to cook dinner for ourselves - which we really...

Very nice hosts and many friendly animals at the farm. Super cozy studios, plenty of space and nice extras like hot tub. The best place we've rent so far in Iceland.

Pleasant surprise! Clean, new, well taken care of.
