    hiking enthusiasts location
    lack of communication
    storm-related issues

    The location is perfect for hiking enthusiasts.

    Our stay was severely impacted by a storm, which caused road closures that left us stranded. Despite numerous attempts to reach the guesthouse for help, we received no response, leaving us feeling abandoned.

    breathtaking view
    delicious breakfast
    sheep outside

    The view was breathtaking. with the glacier in the background and waterfalls nearby. Breakfast included delicious local specialties. We even spotted sheep grazing right outside our window, which added to the charm.

    No negatives to mention.

    What stands out – both good and bad

    Perfect location for adventures. the knowledgeable staff even extended breakfast hours for our family. Spacious areas around for hiking led to a memorable experience.

    Limited dining options available, and inconsistent cleanliness was concerning. The shared bathroom facilities could definitely use modernization.

    A Memorable Stay with Breathtaking Views

    Our stay was highlighted by easy access to stunning hiking trails right from our doorstep. The modernized room provided a comfortable retreat after our long day. Don't miss the chance to enjoy the local tomatoes at breakfast, truly unforgettable! Keep in mind dining options are limited nearby.

    perfect location
    free breakfast

    the guesthouse is in a perfect spot, super close to amazing hikes just behind the house. i loved having my own half-cabin, very quaint and quiet. the breakfast was really nice too, with a good variety of options. and a cute little farm dog greeted us upon arrival!

    totally recommend

    ignored calls
    outdated bathroom

    i seriously considered a good review, but alas—the staff totally ignored my calls during a storm. the room was warm, and don’t even get me started on the outdated shared bathroom. it would have been nice to have a little compensation for my miserable experience, not just a regular room! disappointment city, honestly.

    cozy cottage
    stunning views
    handy kitchenette
    missing microwave

    Perfect spot for nature lovers!

    This place is a cozy gem! The location is super close to awesome hikes and we even spotted the Northern Lights right from our window. The kitchen setup in the cottage was handy, but it would’ve been nice to have a microwave. Loved hanging out on the picnic tables outside enjoying the fresh air.

    handy kitchen

    Just a reliable pick for shopping in Skalafell with attractive and competitive value for money. The kitchen was handy, making it easy to prepare some quick meals. Remember to bring your own shampoo and conditioner, as only hand soap is provided.

    stunning views
    helpful staff
    excellent breakfast
    missing amenities
    unpleasant towels

    I had a great experience at this place. The views were stunning, and the breakfast options were excellent. The breakfast featured the best tomatoes I've ever tried. The staff was helpful, even preparing a to-go breakfast for me. I wish I could have stayed longer to explore more of the area, especially for someone who loves the local culture.

    I noticed that my room didn't have a phone or TV, which was a bit unexpected. The towels had a strange smell, which was disappointing.

    charming view
    hiking trails
    outdated bathroom

    the shared bathroom was a bit outdated (could use a refresh), but the homemade jams at breakfast were delicious and the view of sheep grazing was charming. enjoyed the hiking trails nearby too.
