- Thom (10/5): Highly recommended - Great location and beautiful house, very nice host with great tips for travelling. Nice bedroom with good mattress and modern and comfortable shower facilities.
- Dmytro (10/5): - Прекрасний гестхаус з чудовим господарем. Тихо, затишно. Смачна кава та дуже атмосферно все. Сподобалось. Можливо, комусь може не сподобатись те, що двері до кімнат не закриваються на ключ.
- Michael (9/5): Sehr gerne wieder - Ich war das zweite Mal hier und würde wieder kommen. Das Bett sollte mal getauscht werden. Es knarzt sehr und ist etwas wackelig.
- LUCA NATALE (7/5): -
- Erwan (10/5): - Really nice place, with a welcoming host !
- Susanne (9/5): Tolles Guesthouse mitten in Island - Tolle Lage für Wanderausflüge ins Hochland und auch zum Hengifoss. Große Küche, gutes Bett, sehr ruhig und sauber. Abseits der Touristenströme und ein wirklich traditionell isländisches Guesthouse. Netter Kontakt zum Gastgeber, der sehr hilfsbereit war. Unschlagbares Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. -
- Christiane (10/5): Fantastische Ausblicke und Ruhe - Einfach alles! Wer die Einsamkeit sucht, ist hier genau richtig! Gulmur ist ein toller Gastgeber. Wir hatten das gesamte Haus zur freien Verfügung. Auch, wenn uns das Wetter einen Strich durch die Rechnung gemacht hat und es meiner Tochter leider nicht so gut ging, haben wir die Stunden hier umso mehr genossen. Wenn wir jemals wieder nach Iceland 🇮🇸 kommen, machen wir hier sehr gerne wieder Halt!
- Thierry (5/5): - la possibilité d'utiliser la cuisine de l'hôte pour les repas; la localisation au calme près d'une rivière;
Salle de bain propre et correcte chambre vraiment minimaliste (juste un lit sans table)
- Enrique Fco (9/5): Muy buen alojamiento - El anfitrión muy amable y hace todo lo posible para que te sientas como en tu casa.
La casa está en un precioso y tiene todo lo necesario. Nada

- Cristina (10/5): Meravigliosa casetta - Struttura vicinissima a la cascata di Hangifoss, casa splendida, calda accogliente e dotata di ogni comfort. Cucina attrezzatissima, letti comodi, bagno con doccia fenomenale..il proprietario una persona amicale e molto molto cordiale. Bellissimo soggiorno struttura stra-consigliata se siete nella zona -
- Sara (10/5): - Bellissima struttura immersa nella natura, una vista spettacolare. La casa è molto curata e spaziosa. L’host è stato gentile e ha condiviso con noi curiosità e consigli sul luogo. Consigliatissima
- Jeremias (10/5): -
- Hazim (10/5): - Owners are so friendly and warm people. Whole place was so clean. I really want to visit here again during winter time. nothing
- Anastasiia (10/5): Exceptional - We are very happy that we stayed at this guesthouse — the house was so clean and cozy, and the host was so welcoming and friendly that we were left with the best impressions! The surrounding nature is wonderful. Thank you so much for the warm welcome — we will definitely recommend this place to everyone as a great place to stay!
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - Located in a beautiful valley, this is the coolest place i’ve stayed in iceland so far! The host was great, and very accommodating!
- Tetiana (10/5): A special home with authentic feel and peaceful atmosphere - Finding this house let me discover a part of Iceland which I didn’t know about. It’s such a peaceful and beautiful area, a place to rest!.. I really enjoyed a feel of a local home. I find it so wonderful that a family lives there and opens their house for guests to share some icelandic vibes.
The room is super clean and cozy, all house is nicely decorated and well maintained. Special time and I wish to come back again!.. -
- Kamil (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful stay and wonderful host! Very cozy and large house, so we were able to rest a lot after some longer hikes. Ultimately great host, who told us a lot instightful info about the eastern part of Iceland as well as he mentioned a set of hidden gems. It is a must stay if you travel through north-east/east part of the island. It is also a great place in terms of close location to different attractions (Stuðlagil canyon, Hengifoss). Highly recommended!
- Sigurlina (9/5): Superb -
- Eiður (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marc (10/5): The place you want to be at with a great host -
- Tracey (10/5): Relaxing, homely serenity close to snow & waterfalls. - We were finally able to do our laundry! But aside from that, we had an entire gorgeous house to ourselves. Nice to feel like we were relaxing at home after a string of hotels. Needs some horses on site for cuddles.
- Margaret (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrea (10/5): Perfect stay! - The host was very kind! And the house have all you need!
- Romana (9/5): Superb -
- Matthew (10/5): Cozy and comfortable place to stay!!! - Host was very welcoming and made us feel at home with his conversation. We had a great time and are only sad we didn't get to talk more. The property is a bit out of the way for us, but finding it was straightforward with the provided instructions
- Claudette (7/5): True Icelandic Experience - Friendly Host! - The location here is wonderful - the area is really a jewel. In summer, when you look out the window from your room, it's like a fairytale - mountainous surrounds with multiple waterfalls, sheep roaming around the property. WiFi, parking, and the guestroom itself, are all great.
Kartjan, the host, is a lovely, understanding man who really takes the time to get to know his guests, and is ready with local knowledge, and has great tips for things to do in the area. The guestroom is a spare room in the host's personal home - in this way privacy is not perfect. The kitchen and bathroom are also shared with the host and his family. These rooms were however always available for use when we needed, but the hygiene could sometimes be a bit better.
- Anton (8/5): A nice stay on the Icelandic countryside. - Very nice location. The hosts at Hóll were very kind and helpful. Nothing bad.
- Alexander (9/5): Superb -
- Margret (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maasdam (8/5): Ideal with car and challenge without car - Beautifull area and I got a real warm welcome.
On top of it - by accident - I was brought
by the "neigbour" living at 4 km distance for the
last part because of a road reparation on arrival day.
Which in Iceland means you have to ride to next bridge and back. And the neighbouw twee that
to return.
This was extreme ly sympathatic and tells how
nicely the community is.
Host and son were also help full to bring me on the spots like Heretage Museum (2nd day) to 10 km to good hiking place (leaving 3rd day). As I put it I had 3 times need for help to get there at arrival to and get away as well.
Sadly for NOT-cardrivers that also was a need.
I was helped by host very well.
So I highly recommend the accomodatition if you are in East Iceland and in case you rent a car. Then you ve a great place.
Because there is no buss till 50 kms from the place I would take care without own/rental car.
Then make sure that you can bike or at least have a good condition to reach the nice house at the riverside.
- Balaji (10/5): Quite laidback and picturesque cottage! - Excellent location - Quaint home nestled between mountains and waterfalls. Cute little sheeps grazing around.. it was a fun stay
The host was simply awesome, a warm person. More than willing to make sure we were comfortable and also shared a lot of tips about the area around
Please follow the instruction provided to reach this beautiful home.. Dont follow google maps. First go to the hydro thermal station - Fljótsdalsstöð.. this place is very close from there
- Gamoń (10/5): The Owner knows a lot about surroundings and it is more than willing to share. We felt very welcomed and well taken care - Everything! The view, well equipped kitchen, the furniture. It was absolutely amazing!
- Vojtěch (10/5): Exceptional - The room and bathroom was clean, the host was welcoming and surrounding nature is great, worth the slight detour. I wish there was a coffee machine (I only saw a kettle, but I didn't ask).
- Ivo (9/5): Lovely homestay, Kjartan the host has a lot of in depth information about the history of the valley. -
- Mikhail (10/5): Quiet and comfortable house in the middle of nowhere - Clean room with comfy bed and a big cabinet. Clean bathroom just next door. Fully equipped kitchen. Good-natured host. Hard to find. In fact, neither Booking nor Google maps know where this house is located. You need to get to the power plant and right before its entrance - do not listen to Google maps, just turn left onto the rocky road. And moving along it you will not miss the house with the sign "Holl" to the right.
