Top Rutshellir Caves Hotel Reviews

The Garage

10/10 Excellent

"Fabuloso! Estabamos en un cuento de hadas!"

Guesthouse Vellir

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very clean, beautiful and well maintained property. It's relatively close to Vik. It was really quiet and the proprietor was wonderful. I really appreciated the glass door on the shower and the handheld shower head to help keep the water from spreading all over the bathroom. It is a charming place to stay and quite comfortable."

Skálakot Manor hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had the absolute BEST time here in September! It was so charming, clean, comfortable, and the staff were incredible. The restaurant (breakfast 2x and dinner one night) were delicious with fresh options, and the sauna was perfect after a long day of exploring and being outside. Would absolutely stay here again!"

Welcome Holiday homes

8/10 Good

"We spent one night at Welcome Holiday Homes while driving around Iceland. The unit had a spacious living area with a well-appointed kitchen. The bedroom was on the small side but good enough for a short stay. The pillows and quilts were small and not very warm. An upgrade to the bedding would add comfort to the stay. I suspect the location would be ideal for viewing the northern lights but we did not get to see them due to full cloud coverage."

Skogar Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"It is a very clean and quiet place. Close to some locations. Recommended if you are staying for two or three days. My only recommendation would be a laundry facility to make washing clothes easier, since it is a stopover hotel for travelers heading to other towns."

Sólheimahjáleiga Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Really delightful guesthouse on a farm. Rooms were nice and well appointed, the staff really friendly and professional. Breakfast and dinner were really good."

Hotel Skógá by EJ Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed the hot tub and check in was easy! Very comfortable!"

South Iceland Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"This was in a great location for exploring Iceland. The room was very clean and loved the kitchen area to make meals. Only downside is the shared bathroom but we had no issues! Nice to talk to other people in the house but most people were out exploring majority of the day."

North Star Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"We loved it. A beautiful cabin in a wonderful location."
