That was one of my favorite guesthouses during our round-trip around iceland. Thora is very nice, we had a yummy breakfast in the morning and compared to the rest of the guesthouses, we had good walls, didn't wake up from our neighbors. A really nice place to stay at. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed for one night as part of our South Iceland road trip. Comfortable and clean rooms, good beds and even Netflix provided on the in-room television. We enjoyed really great food cooked in-house (both dinner and breakfast) which was delicious and authentically local. Staff were friendly, location was ideal. Access to the rooms was easy, being able to park right next to the door (useful when carrying bags in the snow).

There are many hiking trails and the staff at the visitors...
There are many hiking trails and the staff at the visitors center was very helpful. We choose a 3 hours hike - to the waterfalls and a viewpoint of the glacier. It was so beautiful! it took us closer to 4 hours but this included a long stop at the view point. You don't see that many bushes and greenery in other places in Iceland - so it was also very unique. On the way back we saw some beautiful birds that stayed with us for a little white before they disappeared into the bushes.
Be aware of the steep climbing that is required. However, all paths are well maintained and marked.
Everything about this guesthouse is great!
The owner was icelandic and very friendly. She even let our friend to use the showers for free and sleep in her camper van on the property!
The guesthouse is well equipped (2 shared bathrooms/restrooms!) and the breakfast was yummy, with homemade products.
The bedroom was roomy, with comfy beds. Everything was clean and functionnal.
The location is pretty quiet and the view is nice over the fields. You can see the ocean in the distance.
A really lovely guesthouse, great for an overnight stay. The place was very clean and new.
The employee who was taking care of the place was really nice, showed us around and we chatted a bit about where he is from and what he is doing in Iceland.
The bathrooms were large and clean, with spacious showers where you comfortably wash and toilet in the same room.
Well maintained guesthouse. It looked brand new when we arrived autumn 2021. The traditional corrugated iron outside suggests that the property is an old farm, but the inside is completely renovated and modern.
Very clean room
Good breakfast included
Affordable and reasonable price in expensive Iceland
Our stay at Guesthouse Skalafell was lovely! Our room was comfy and clean. The breakfast meal was delicious and plentiful. We hiked along the trails with the river on one side and cliffs on the other! Spectacular! The hosts were warm and welcoming. Easy to find. We would definitely stay here again!
Our host, Jan, was friendly and very helpful. He told us about a great 3 hour hike that started right at the guest house. Although the location is about 30 minutes from Hofn there is a hotel with a good restaurant nearby. Our room had a lovely view and the shared bathrooms were spacious.
perfect location bc was going to Heinabergslón kayak the next morning, and skalafell had better reviews than smyrlabjorg. own half-cabin, very quiet, close to the main lodge where free breakfast is served. easy parking, easy to find, cute little farm dog greets you.
The hotel is like a museum - so icelandic! Like you had a chance to stay in a family house with old traditions. It was precious for us to get acquainted with icelandic culture. The room was good, spacious, beds were comfortable. Breakfast was amazing!
very clean and cute room. great atmosphere. restaurant was also amazing! lamb bbq is omg, cheese is sweet,burger is nice!! icelandic meal in breakfast was awesome too! lamb sausage, herring so delicious!!
Hotel rooms were very spacious. Staff was very nice, even offered to microwave our food since restaurant was already closed. Great variety of options for breakfast. Location was great for Jokulsarlon.
Nice family-owned hotel in a good location. While a bit outdated, the rooms were comfortable and clean. The onsite restaurant was fantastic as well. This hotel was a good choice for our short stay.
Staff very friendly and accommodating. We arrived after 10pm and they were able to provide us with dinner. Good spread for breakfast. We learnt a bit from the host about Iceland farming.
Hotel is very easy to find as it's positioned just to the main road. Room was very spacious (biggest one we had on the whole trip) and breakfast was very nice.
