Torfhús Retreat

Very nice and cosy

It was extremely comfortable and welcoming

Remarkable, outstanding and overall a special experience. The service was nothing short of perfection, food was absolutely delicious and the accommodations were cozy and comfortable. I would highly recommend!

Excellent food, friendly, love the hot spring spa

This retreat was spectacular. It felt a little like Icelandic Disneyland and I say that as a compliment. Intentional in every detail, the dining experience was exquisite. They were able to cater to my many dietary needs, and it didn't take away from my husband's unfettered experience. The basalt hot tub was shared between three residences but that didn't take away from the experience. The retreat was located in a great place, close to some geothermal spas and a quick trip up to Þingvellir National Park.

The beds! Oh my gosh the beds were like sleeping on concrete and I was so sad. I don't even typically mind a harder mattress but it just felt like they were missing a soft topper or something. You also couldn't connect to the TV with any external hardware (which wasn't an issue for us bc we didn't want to spend much time in the room itself).

Lovely location. Wonderful main area and kitchen. Food was great! Hotel rooms (turf houses) are teeny - 1 bedroom house had nowhere to put luggage nor any cabinets to unpack. Bathroom had no place for toiletries. Minimal personal items such as no conditioner, no robes, no slippers. The advertised private thermal pools are actually shared with two other units. Since so little needed to be done to upgrade comfort, this could have been a 5-star experience, but didn’t quite feel that way.

We loved the setting, the remoteness, the peace, the beauty. Our cottage was warm and stylish and cosy and we LOVED our own natural private heated mini pool. The complimentary mini bar was a man unusual touch. The food in the Torfhus restaurant was EXCEPTIONAL, absolutely divine and the staff were lovely.
