"Clean. Great breakfast."

Loa´s Nest Guesthouse

"This guesthouse is an absolute gem. The house itself is on one level, with a gravel driveway (plenty of parking) and a short walk to the front door. The floors inside are smooth and lintels between rooms are minimal. There are no stairs. The house has a large common area with tables, sofas, and a fridge with space for each guest. There is a well appointed small kitchen with an oven and stovetop and plenty of pots, pans, and utensils. There are some board games and plenty of space to play. We chatted with other guests in the common area, it was just a very comfortable and friendly atmosphere. Decor is clean and modern, with a relaxed vibe. The scenery is gorgeous. The area is quiet. The room itself had a comfortable bed with good linens. The bathroom shower has no barrier on the floor so you could potentially roll in if needed. Hosts are friendly. In the morning they serve waffles! There is coffee and tea available as well. I wish the proprietors every success in the world, they have created a truly special place."

Hotel Lækur

"This was a wonderful home base for us for a few nights as we explored the South Coast and Golden Circle. Now I'm dreaming of coming back for the Northern Lights. The Hotel was lovely - we stayed in the rooms (not one of the cabins). They were simple and had everything we needed. We had breakfast both mornings of our stay - it was delicious. And dinner one evening - and learned we needed to book that ahead so they knew their headcount for the evening meal. The property was gorgeous - we made friends with an Icelandic horse as we strolled behind the restaurant."

Freya Farm

"Great location on the far side of Thingvellir National Park close to the new Laugarás Lagoon. Freya Farm is truly a family owned farm by a wonderful young family. They were so kind and the property is absolutely stunning. The owner took us for a short hike around their backyard to an amazing river. This is truly a hidden jem."

ÖÖD Hekla Horizon

"This is a very unique property - glass walls from floor to ceiling on two sides with a beautiful view of the Hekla volcano. We really enjoyed it. The hot tub was great and the sauna was nice as well. Hot water and great water pressure. The house is nicely decorated in a modern style. Lovely setting. Not very much hanging space for clothes. It is remote so just know that you need to bring food for dinner and breakfast. I didn't get the notification so I had to go to the store - about 20-25 minutes away which was fine but try to plan ahead so this doesn't happen to you. Host was responsive to questions. Enjoy!"
