Top Hotels Near Eyjafjallajokull in Rangárþing eystra

I spent 3 days at Skalakot during a solo vacation to Iceland and could not have made a better choice. The warm hospitality, immaculate accommodations, outrageously delicious food, and scope of onsite activities helped turned my vacation into the adventure of a lifetime. During my stay I hiked the breathtaking canyon behind the hotel, rode horseback across the black sand beach with the help of one of Skalaot's sweet, patient, and thoroughly professional guides, and dined nightly on world-class fare prepared from farm-grown ingredients. The breakfast is worth mentioning as well - fresh baked goods, farm eggs made to order, juice, coffee, and fruit. The hotel, a destination in its own right, also served as a perfect base from which to explore all that the South Coast has to offer. The famous waterfalls, black beaches of Vik, and many other sites are a short drive from Skalakot. My single room was tastefully decorated and very, very comfortable. I slept like a baby every night, and every morning walked out onto the balcony to take in a gorgeous view of the mountainside onto which the property is situated. The bathroom was appointed with high end toiletries, fluffy towels and a comfy robe. The shower was amazing - great pressure and plenty of hot water. Just what I needed after long days of hiking, riding, and exploring. It was a fairytale of a vacation. Can't recommend Skalakot enough. I'll never forget my time there and can't wait to go back!

These little houses were very nice! They were equipped with a kitchen and everything you need to cook. Bed was comfy and I love the modern look of it all. The only complaint was the WiFi was very weak. The only spot we could get service was outside the house which was not helpful.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Included breakfast was more than suffice to to start the day and the restaurant was incredibly good. Reasonable location to see a number of sites within the area.

Nice room with a lot of space to spread out. Very friendly and easy check-in. Free cookies in main kitchen. Food left from other guests in main kitchen to use if needed. Clean comfortable room.

Quiet location and well maintained facility

Easy convenient and nice setting!

Restaurant cheff owns the restaurant. He comes out and speaks with the guests. Meal was absolutely amazing. The best we have had so far in Iceland (we have been here 5 days so far). Definitely would recommend this place.

The cottage is very nice and the setting is incredible. Behind the cottage is a stream and a trail that offers utterly stunning beauty from the first steps. We used the hot tub, which is a very nice extra. This was our favorite stay in Iceland and I would probably have given a 5 star review even if the cottage was mediocre because the area and the property / surroundings warrant it. But the cottage is very well appointed if you want to cook dinner and stay in. It's excellent overall. We went to Anna's restaurant next door and had world class lamb chops. I would highly recommend this cottage. A small area of improvement would be better beds. In our cottage there was no queen as listed. We found one room with a double and one with a double under a bunk. I can say the double below the bunk is a very uncomfortable mattress (not really a mattress at all). Having a tall person in our party of three complicated sleeping. We have stayed at smaller rustic cabins with much better bedrooms. The other double bed is great so if you are a party of two you will be fine.

Nice and convenient.

Location right next to the falls was amazing and restaurant had great food
