Top Skogar Hotel Reviews

The Garage

10/10 Excellent

"My favorite part of our trip. Such a gorgeous setting! The homemade treats and farm fresh lettuce for our dinner were delicious! And the hot tub view! 😍"

Hótel Dyrhólaey

10/10 Excellent

"It's an amazing place to live it, the property is huge, rooms are comfortable and the people are helpful. It's a little on the outside, so if you need to get any food or things, it's best to plan in advance. This is because we did not choose to eat dinner at the property. The breakfast was amazing, a much better spread than the other places we lived at in Iceland."

Skogar Hostel

8/10 Good

"Pros: This hostel is clean. Towels were provided. The shower stalls are very private with no gaps in the doors. They provide a nice coffee machine in the kitchen. The location in between two beautiful waterfalls is very convenient. You can easily walk to both. Cons: One of the toilets had a broken flusher. You can make it work but it's a little tricky to figure out at first. That's a really basic repair that should be dealt with right away. You can hear a lot from the rooms beside you, if someone sneezes across the hall you hear it clearly. The two fridges get crowded because they are on the small side (bring your own napkins/paper towels). The parking lot had some refuse including a rusty nail which we nearly parked on top of, it could use maintenance. Overall, this hostel was comfortable and conveniently located. However, the value does not match the price. As with everything in Iceland, it was expensive to stay here. The reason that matters in this case is that there were other places we stayed on our trip that were a similar. cost but had more privacy and amenities."

Hotel Vík í Mýrdal

10/10 Excellent

"Good location. Excellent breakfast."

Black Beach Suites

8/10 Good

"nice suite, but a bit expensive."

Volcano Huts Þórsmörk - Highlands

10/10 Excellent

"We honeymooner here! They gave us some bubbly in our tent, great hiking recommendations, the sauna was wonderful, the swimming spring was wonderful and warm!"

Vík Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient walking distance to many things."

The Barn - Hostel

8/10 Good

"My husband and I enjoyed our room at the Barn. It was very much over our budget but we booked late and there were few options for a room with a private bathroom in Vik. Despite the expense, we were happy with the size and cleanliness of the space. Our room was set in a seperate single-floor building with just a few units, so it was quiet and also had a lovely view of the surrounding hills. It looked like a newer building but was a little worn in areas - stained blinds, some worn paint and a loose sink faucet. This didn't affect our 1-night stay but could be a small area for improvement."

Volcano hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hidden Gem. Its hard to find hotels in the area. We stayed one night and found this location convenient since everything within Vik area was already booked or hard to find even when booking few months in advance. Not a lot of breakfast choices but that wasn't an issue for us."
