We stayed for one night as part of our South Iceland road trip. Comfortable and clean rooms, good beds and even Netflix provided on the in-room television. We enjoyed really great food cooked in-house (both dinner and breakfast) which was delicious and authentically local. Staff were friendly, location was ideal. Access to the rooms was easy, being able to park right next to the door (useful when carrying bags in the snow).

There are many hiking trails and the staff at the visitors...
There are many hiking trails and the staff at the visitors center was very helpful. We choose a 3 hours hike - to the waterfalls and a viewpoint of the glacier. It was so beautiful! it took us closer to 4 hours but this included a long stop at the view point. You don't see that many bushes and greenery in other places in Iceland - so it was also very unique. On the way back we saw some beautiful birds that stayed with us for a little white before they disappeared into the bushes.
Be aware of the steep climbing that is required. However, all paths are well maintained and marked.
Lovely family owned business! Everyone who works there was extremely welcoming, especially the receptionist who told us the history of the family run farm and hotel and about the decorations at the establishment. The meals were incredible, using as many farm to table ingredients as possible, and the rooms were big and comfortable. This is a great hotel to stay at with a great location- we were able to see the northern lights at night during our winter stay. Couldn’t recommend enough!
We had a lovely stay at Skalafell! Owned and managed by a welcoming local family, we stayed in one of the units facing the sheep meadow and loved it. Breakfasts were very nice and we had delicious dinners on two nights. The best part is that the guesthouse is located at the trailhead of a loop trail that takes you up close to one of the glaciers at Vatnajokull National Park, which we hiked one morning for an unforgettable experience!
The house is extremely clean, nicely decorated and furnished with new and beautiful pieces of furniture. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable.
The host are kind, available and extremely helpful. The atmosphere in the house is lively and cozy at the same time.
The homemade breakfast is delicious and filling. Many typical Icelandic dishes available.
Well maintained guesthouse. It looked brand new when we arrived autumn 2021. The traditional corrugated iron outside suggests that the property is an old farm, but the inside is completely renovated and modern.
Very clean room
Good breakfast included
Affordable and reasonable price in expensive Iceland
Our stay at Guesthouse Skalafell was lovely! Our room was comfy and clean. The breakfast meal was delicious and plentiful. We hiked along the trails with the river on one side and cliffs on the other! Spectacular! The hosts were warm and welcoming. Easy to find. We would definitely stay here again!
Our host, Jan, was friendly and very helpful. He told us about a great 3 hour hike that started right at the guest house. Although the location is about 30 minutes from Hofn there is a hotel with a good restaurant nearby. Our room had a lovely view and the shared bathrooms were spacious.
Great, cozy hotel in a beautiful and serene area. We booked the room with shared bathroom. The room and the bathroom were both neat and clean. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Great place to stay near Fjallsárlón, Diamond beach and Jökulsárlón (30 minutes away).
A very lovely hotel, enjoyed our stay. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was wonderful.
The breakfast buffet was great, lots of choices of eggs, meats, cheeses, including various homemade breads and jams.
I would definitely recommend Hotel Smyrlabjorg.
The room was nice, clean, and cozy. The hotel grounds were very nice. The staff was very friendly. We ate dinner at the restaurant, and our server was great. The food came quickly. overall we enjoyed our stay.
We had a great stay at this hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was terrific each morning, and I liked that they had dining options in the evening.
The whole experience, location and quality of the rooms. Also, having the breakfast on the location with local produce topped it all. If returning to Iceland, definitely one of the spots to book again.
This is a family-run hotel in a great location for touring round Iceland. there’s a great choice for breakfast and the option to eat in the restaurant for lunch and supper.
Exceptional breakfast with very large range of food included in price.
Large room.
Very interesting to see the whale skeleton and stuffed bird collection in the hotel
Hotel is very easy to find as it's positioned just to the main road. Room was very spacious (biggest one we had on the whole trip) and breakfast was very nice.
