Hunkubakkar Guesthouse

The property was in the middle of nowhere but still easy to find, especially in the dark. I switched to this place at the last minute and we were mostly glad we did. The staff was wonderful and the homemade bread and jam was fabulous. Our bathroom sink and tub were not draining very well so we had to be careful about that. The room walls are VERY thin so the noise from the other people were a bit disturbing. From the pictures we thought we would have a separate cabin but ours ending up having four rooms attached. The people next to us were very loud. The lamps above the beds were so low that we kept hitting our heads. There are no phones in the cabin either so we were able to call anyone for questions or help. We had a very hard time locking our door and couldn't ask anyone for help. The Wifi password was different on the key, compared to the instructions on the paperwork in the cabin.....it should have been capitalized. There is also no tv/radio or anything so if you like to fall asleep to white noise or tv, you will need to bring your own stuff. We stayed for two nights. Didn't have dinner there as we don't like lamb and the breakfast was small but it worked. The staff was super friendly and we loved that it was located up the street from the gorge. It was beautiful. Being on a sheep farm was pretty cool as well.

Sheep and Serenity
The property backs up to a butte with adorable sheep grazing and 2 minutes from a famous canyon. It is peaceful and beautiful. The staff are extremely friendly and the breakfast was perfect and light. A very pleasant experience 10/10 recommend.

Stayed one night here and loved the vibe & feel of the cabins.

Staff were friendly & courteous.

To top it off, I got to witness the start of Iceland’s ‘réttir’, which was truly amazing.

The breakfast, however, was continental and basic compared to other hotels I stayed at during my 17-day trip to Iceland.

We stayed in a triple. It was so cute and clean. Tiny bathroom. Slept well. Breakfast was lacking and not great but we loved our cabin! Great location after our glacier hike headed back towards Vik.

Cozy cabin that was very clean and beautiful property, too bad it rained the entire time of our visit. Had supper at the restaurant and it was excellent, also enjoyed the fresh baked bread for breakfast.

Beautiful spot and close to a famous canyon! Cabin was spacious, lovely and very clean. So rustic and cozy!
Staff were very friendly and accommodated a later check in no problem when we notified them.
Breakfast in the morning was good. We loved all the sheep on the property. :)

A simple yet very cozy place. The cabins provide what you need. Nothing more, nothing less. We stayed here during a severe storm and it just added to the cozyness. The restaurant offers a limited amount of meals but everything comes from the local farm and tastes fantastic.

Nice cabins, we also had dinner which was lovely too. The one let down would be breakfast, not many choices of anything. The staff are helpful so would stay there again but not a five star experience.
