Offering a garden and lake view, Guesthouse Henia Bed&Spas is set in Selfoss, 43 km from Thingvellir National Park and 21 km from Ljosifoss. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking.

Such a lovely place to stay! Check-in and check-out was super easy. Communication with our really friendly host always quick and helpful. The apartment is cute and has all you need for two: Well-stocked kitchenette, super clean and modern bathroom, a giant TV (even though we never switched it on), and the place has its own private hot tub in the backyard! The location is perfect as it's just around the corner from Selfoss' central roundabout, so you'll find it easily and have a great base for exploring Iceland's beautiful southside. Also, you can drive to Reykjavík in just about one hour.

The Old School House - Gaulverjaskoli’s rooms are simply furnished and have shared bathroom facilities. All rooms offer views of the surrounding lowlands. Guests can cook their meals in the fully equipped shared kitchen.

We enjoyed a fantastic stay at the old school house! Greg and Magnea are very kind and welcoming. This booking is not just a place to sleep but an experience that I would recommend 10/10! The rooms are incredibly cozy and quiet with comfortable beds, the communal areas are super clean and the location is just very special. The surroundings are stunning, you can watch the stars at night from the hottub outside and if you’re there at the right time - catch aurora! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The cabin was super cosy and comfortable! Our lovely hosts were so welcoming including their two dogs. In terms of amenities, they had thought of everything from a well equipped kitchen to dressing gowns in the shower! Enjoying the hot tub after a day of hiking was a great treat! The setting was super peaceful and relaxing. We loved our stay and hope to visit again soon!

    Our stay was great! Johann is a great host, so helpful, attentive, and friendly. He gave us travel advice and maps, got along great with our non-english speaking children. The house is so interestingly decorated and the jacuzzi was wonderful. Everything was clean and attention to details was great. The breakfast was varied and tasty.
