Excellent location. Very friendly staff and the food was awesome. We had dinner and breakfast and both were outstanding. We had two rooms and for one of the room got a free upgrade to the same category as the other one.
Excellent, excellent stay.

Fantastic hotel and amazing staff. The woman working the front desk took 15 mins out of her day to try to find luggage storage options for us in Reykjavik. The breakfast was out of this world good. And the bar was lively and fun. This place is amazing.

This room was super affordable and probably the best budget choice I made while I was in Iceland. I was late to my check in time and the front desk left me an envelope with a key and directions to my room as I didn't arrive until about 10:45pm. The room was spacious, enough for me to have my suitcase open and walk around without it being tight. + a desk and chair, lots of extra towels, etc. There's also lots of windows letting in natural light. I liked it here.

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.

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
This is the best stay we had in our 10 night tour of Iceland. A few minutes outside of Hella in a very quiet location, the duplex is updated with modern decor and very well equipped. We enjoyed the private hot tub on the private deck. Beautiful views. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking. There are plenty of pillows and extra blankets although this was not needed as the apartment was nice and warm upon arrival. Host is very attentive via messenger. Our only regret is that we didn't book two nights.
Tindasel Lodge seems like a boutique lodge off-road near Hella. Driving towards it feels like going on a farmstead and entering the Lodge itself feels like steping into a deluxe hotel. The rooms were nice and had a pleasant smell. The staff was friendly and helpful. It had an amazing outdoor spa which was amazing to relax in during the evening hours with a beautiful view of the country side.
Hotel Laekur is a cozy and beautiful property. It is an old barn made into a family owned and operated hotel... The rooms are very comfortable, staff is friendly, welcoming and really helpful... Dining/Restaurant service excellent and the food was delicious!
I would completely recommend this hotel if you are traveling through the southern part of Iceland!
Such a cosy and beautiful house. It was all nice and warm when we arrived. The bedding was super fresh. The location was beautiful, looking into a river and the village of Hella is so lovely, lots of twinkling lights. The house was also bigger than expected with very good bathroom and kitchen facilities. Amazing value for money, would definitely return.
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.
Very nice room with plenty of space. The hotel is managed by a lovely couple - Unnur and Ingi, and they were both very helpful and kind during our stay. Every morning they provide the guests with coffee and delicious waffles! Also, it's not very far from the Golden Circle attractions.
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.
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.
I have stayed at dozen of hotels in Iceland. This was on the top of the list of best stays/experiences ever. The cottage was super clean and had everything needed for our stay. Hopefully I will have a chance to visit it again :)
Big and modern room with new furniture, clean, nice bathroom, good wifi, nice staff.
Breakfast was good, parking right in front of hotel.
Hotel also has a restaurant with good food and decent prices if you want to have dinner.
great staff - the new guy was super polite and efficient, breakfast was good with lots of fruit (watermelon and melon in iceland!!!), room was big, great location in hella and in general for visiting this part of iceland
We liked everything about this little hostel/hotel - the location, restaurant on site, the rooms were larger than most we stayed in, the rooms were quiet, the beds were comfortable, and the breakfast was fabulous.
Charming lodge, very comfy bed and a nice breakfast. Owners are lovely and helped me to map out new waterfalls i had not experienced before. Great location perfect for your time in the Hella area.
