    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.

    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!

    A really lovely guesthouse, great for an overnight stay. The place was very clean and new. The employee who was taking care of the place was really nice, showed us around and we chatted a bit about where he is from and what he is doing in Iceland. The bathrooms were large and clean, with spacious showers where you comfortably wash and toilet in the same room.

    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!

    The hotel and staff was very nice. We had lobster bisque for starters. I had the Salmon which was very good and my partner had the pizza. Breakfast was also very good. Hot chocolate and coffee were available 24/7.

    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.
