Guest Reviews
- Leonie (9/5): -
- singo621 (8/5): good - host very friendly as we arrived late and had to cook in the kitchen. strongly recommend the salty cereal for breakfast. heater not working? my friend woke up in the night feeling cold.
- Mach (10/5): Alles perfekt! - Die Reittour war ein Traum! Sogar mein Freund (der nicht reiten kann) hat sicher super aufgehoben gefühlt 🥰
Die Pferde waren toll und alles in allem war ein ein schöner Aufenthalt!
- Derrick (8/5): -
- Karen (10/5): - Skorrahestar is a gem. From the warm greeting by the owners who treat you like family to the excellent beds and showers to the exceptional breakfast (mostly home made from scratch) we had the most wonderful time. You also get full access to the huge and more than well equipped kitchen so you can prepare your own meals. Going riding is a pleasure as well, the horses are well schooled and the surroundings are beautiful. We will definitely go back there next time we're in the East Fjords.
- Mario (10/5): - Familiäres Umfeld, Freundlichkeit, originelle Einrichtung, Ständchen mit Gitarre zum Empfang, zum Frühstück ein Klavier-Solo, spontaner Ausritt mit ganz viel Herz für das Tier
- Céline (8/5): - Propriétaires charmants qui acceptent de prendre le temps pour discuter avec leurs hôtes. C'était vraiment très appréciable. Très bon petit déjeuner avec pain et gâteaux faits maison.
- claudio (10/5): Eccezionale!! - Uno dei migliori soggiorni in Islanda!
La struttura è stupenda, ma i proprietari ancora di più, sempre disponibili, con il sorriso e davvero gentili. Un amore e una cura nell’accogliere gli ospiti mai vista. Abbiamo amato tutto del soggiorno presso Skorrahestar. Molto apprezzata la possibilità di cucinare nella cucina in comune, fornita di ogni cosa e la colazione fatta in casa e genuina.
Davvero super consigliato!
Torneremo! Niente
- Reshmi (10/5): Lovely place , beautiful place and awesome host - It’s one of the best places we stayed in Iceland . It was a farm house with amazing views . We even saw the northern lights aurora . Thea and her husband were amazing hosts . They were very friendly , knowledgeable and helpful . The home made breakfast was delicious . I wish I had more days to spend there . Will highly recommend and visit again .
- Reinoud (7/5): Gezellig guesthouse - Het ontbijt met zelf gebakken brood, ruime keuze en de zelfgemaakte happy mariagecake. De ontvangst door de zeer vriendelijke eigenaren,, de hottub en de mogelijkheid om een begeleide paardrijtocht te doen ( tegen betaling) welke wij echt een aanrader vinden. Badkamer klein en geen wastafel (wel kraantje bij het toilet). Matras van het bovenste bed van het stapelbed was veel te dun en tweepersoons bed is klein.

- Catherine (8/5): Great experience on a farm - Very homey, rustic facility. Lovely host. A bit old
- Sarah (10/5): Perfect guesthouse stay - Best stay in Iceland. Welcoming and generous hosts who share stories and music, sitting areas and nooks to relax in, a hot tub to soak in, and animals (horses, sheep, dog, cat etc.) to pat and admire. Beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was an excellent spread of breads, cheese, vegetables, oatmeal and toppings, and homemade items (breads, jams, cookies). We loved everything about the property.
- Chunling (10/5): - The owners were very welcoming and the homemade breakfast was delicious. They also let us pet their sheep and goats, which was the highlight of our trip! The rooms are very mindfully designed and had all the amenities we needed. Would highly recommend!!
- Samuel (10/5): - People and place are really fantastic and so welcoming ! We could have stay a whole week in this such beautiful place that makes you feel at home.
- Štěpán (10/5): -

The place is clean and nice and they really think about every little detail! Highly recommended!
- Stephane (9/5): -
- YuPing (9/5): - 老闆及其他人員非常可愛且很熱情的招待,有加購騎馬體驗真的太值得了,6月的魯冰花海加上可愛的馬兒及大景,此生難忘的完美經驗,不過如果要用廚房記得不可以使用洗碗機,要確切遵守規則,一切都很美好! 沒有不喜歡
- Desmond (9/5): Nice cozy homestay - Like the bed, cozy feeling of the place , the remote location with a peaceful environment, and the warmth and the hospitality from the hosts, Thia and Dottie. They were so friendly and shared some safety tips about sheep on road travelling in Iceland. The cute black cat that sneaked into the room and slept on our beds. Shower area is rather small.
- Günter (5/5): Für eine Nacht reicht es! - Klein, familiär geführt. Freundlich! Extrem hellhörig. Drumherum, auf der Anlage ziemlich desolat; ungepflegt.
- Deborah (9/5): Lovely experience - A lovely farm stay in Iceland, quiet, delightful atmosphere, excellent homemade breakfast, charming owners. A bit expensive; however, this was a once in a lifetime experience so we splurged.
- Petra (10/5): -
- Vern (9/5): An enjoyable and peaceful stay on this horse farm property. Hosts were very accommodating. - Delicious continental breakfast with freshly baked bread, and home made jams. More variety of cooked eggs. Only boiled eggs were provided.

- Alexandra Wenzler (10/5): - Unser Aufenthalt bei Thea und Todd war außergewöhnlich. Endlich hatten wir einmal Kontakt zu einer isländischen Familie, die ihr Gästehaus mit Herzblut betreibt. Zum Frühstück gab es selbstgebackene Brötchen und Kuchen, auch sonst hat es an nichts gefehlt. Der hauseigene Hot Tub mit Bergblick war wunderschön. Todd und Thea haben uns viel über die Schafzucht erzählt, wir hatten eine Stallführung bei den Pferden, wir konnten sogar einen Eisfuchs bewundern, abends wurden gemeinsam am Klavier zusammen deutsche Volksweisen gesungen. Unser Aufenthalt wird unvergesslich bleiben!
- Francesco (10/5): - I signori sono gentilissimi, bella la camera con bagno pulito e privato, buona la colazione, bella la presenza di animali all’esterno
- Emily (10/5): - I was welcomed like family, the house was cosy and clean, the surroundings were beautiful.
- RdeS (6/5): - I received a completely different house than the one I booked. It was cold, we had heating only in the bathroom.
- Maurice (7/5): - Owner was very nice and interesting and provided recommendations for dining in the nearby town. Breakfast was included and the other couple were nice to visit with. Thought the cost was excessive for the facilities but all in all were satisfied.
- Inês (9/5): - Nous étions les seules guest ce soir là et la damme nous a donne la chambre la plus grande. Chambre propre, agréable et avec une vue merveilleuse. Petit-déjeuner fait maison. Sunna nous a donné des conseils sur la route, quoi visiter et nous avons aimé écouter ses histoire de sa ferme, chevaux, etc. Quand nous sommes arrivées nous avons trouvé l'accueil de la guesthouse un peu bizarre et 'creepy' mais nous avons compris que c'était une déco particulière et en liaison avec l'emplacement. Une fois discuté avec la hôte nous avons aimé la connaître. Pas de télé dans la chambre.
- Kerstin (8/5): - -Der persönliche Kontakt zu der Besitzerfamilie beim Frühstück war super nett, informativ und interessant! -Frühstück mit selbst gebackenen Brot -Auch die Klavierbegleitung beim Frühstück war sehr schön! -Vielen Dank an Sonna für die TischReservierung in einem von ihr empfohlenen Restaurant im Nachbarort. -Der Hot-Pot
- Beatriz (9/5): - Los anfitriones fueron increíbles y el desayuno con ellos muy agradable. No pudimos disfrutar del exterior por la lluvia intensa pero esto no es culpa de nadie
- Thierry (8/5): - l'accueil exceptionnel très familiale et très chaleureuse fenêtre très haute dans la chambre qui fait qu'on n'avait pas de vue
- Megan (10/5): I highly recommend this beautiful, clean, tranquil location with a lovely host family. - Of all the places we stayed in Iceland, this was our favorite. From the sweet baby sheep that greeted us at check-in, to letting the horses out to graze in the evening, to the beautiful breakfast spread, we loved every minute of it. It is a slightly remote location, which is great if you want to experience the tranquility of the countryside.
- Jónasdóttir (10/5): Í alla staði ánægjuleg <3 - Morgunverðurinn var frábær
Gestgjafar glöddu okkur með nærveru sinni
Gleði og ánægja ríkti í morgunverðarsalnum
- Consolato Paolo (6/5): - La colazione è varia ed abbondante. La struttura si trova in campagna prima del paese. La stanza è di dimensioni normali con i letti a castello con scale ripide. Materassi comodi. Il marito della proprietaria si diletta a suonare il pianoforte mentre gli ospiti fanno colazione. La stanza non è adeguatamente riscaldata ( la temperatura esterna il 18 Agosto è di 6 gradi).
- Jane (10/5): Such a beautiful spot with lovely hosts. Would highly recommend! - The owners were lovely and the breakfast was great. They even went out of their way to accommodate my son's allergies. The room was spacious and everything was super clean and tidy. Lots of fun little things to kids to play with as well (feeding bunnies and chickens and the owners pointed some toys they could play with too) It was slightly too warm for our liking, but we just opened the window in our room and we were fine.
- Thomas (9/5): -
- Christophe (8/5): - L'emplacement et le cadre dans une ferme, au calme. Les hôtes étaient passionnants et charmants. Très bon petit déjeuner varié et frais. Chambre et sdb propres. Pour chipoter, pas de gel douche ni de shampoing fournis.
- Katharina (10/5): - Außergewöhnlich nette Gastgeber, die einem das Gefühl gaben sehr willkommen zu sein, die einen teilhaben ließen an dem typischen Lebensgefühl Islands und auch tolle Ausflugtipps gaben. Immer gerne wieder.
- Borgia (10/5): - Sehr sehr nette Gastgeber, alles sehr familiär und herzlich.
Große, gut ausgestattete Gemeinschaftsküche, sehr gemütliche Gemeinschaftsräume.
Tolle Pferde, wir konnten spontan mit Sunna einen Ausritt machen. Nichts
- Arne (10/5): -
- Staci (10/5): Comfortable and welcoming accommodations in a scenic farm setting. - We stayed in a lovely family room with a private bathroom and 6 beds. The kitchen/dining area was beautiful and comfortable. The hosts were kind and generous and helped my son with ice for his sprained ankle. In the morning, we got to feed the baby sheep before leaving and visit other farm animals too. Beautiful setting and near good hiking as well.
- Sylvie (8/5): Pour une étape dans - L’accueil des propriétaires Le manque d’éléments de confort : portant pour les vêtements, chambre trop petite pour installer les valises, accroches serviettes dans la salle de bains…
Le manque d’insonorisation
Le petit déjeuner pourrait être un peu plus garni.
- Adrianus Dirk (9/5): - De fijne familiaire sfeer en gastvrijheid. Genoten van het begeleid paardrijden.
- Marylène (8/5): - L’endroit est calme, propre. Il y a un hot tub sur la terrasse. La clientèle est exclusivement germanique et ils sont là pour monter à cheval. Comme nous ne restions qu’une nuit, la communication a été inexistante.

- Katia Axe (10/5): Would come back any time. - Excellent, super friendly and accommodating hosts, delicious home-made breakfast. Beautiful property surrounded by lovely unspoiled nature.
- Gauthier (10/5): Stop 1 nuit magnifique pause au milieu du séjour - La convivialité et l’attention
- Petra (10/5): Zauberhafter Aufenthalt und tolle Ausritte! - Wir hatten ein schönes Zimmer mit eigenem Bad, alles war sauber und gepflegt. Wir wurden von Doddi, Thea und Sunna herzlich empfangen und umsorgt. Die Ausritte mit Doddi durch die wunderschöne Natur waren ein tolles Erlebnis! Die Pferde sind wunderbar und gut trainiert, so dass auch mein Sohn als Anfänger mitreiten konnte. Er hat es sehr genossen. Auch am Umgang mit den anderen Tieren (Hunde, Lämmer und Hasen) hatte er viel Spaß. Danke an Doddi und Familie für wunderbare 2 Tage.
- André (8/5): Logement à la ferme sur la route d'Egilsstaðir - Très bon accueil, amabilité et serviabilité du couple qui gère l'établissement, chambre calme, bonne literie. Grande cuisine équipée mise à notre disposition pour le dîner Le petit-déjeuner est un peu light, un tabouret dans la salle de bain serait un plus. Il y avait des cheveux dans la douche de la chambre familiale

- Sacha (8/5): Lovely family farm with conveniences right up the road. - It was on a family run horse farm so it had a very homey feel. We were greeted by a member of the host family right away when we turned into the wrong driveway! She guided us to the right area and gave us a warm welcome, letting us know we could visit with any of the animals on the farm!
The property is in beautiful, hilly country and was clean and welcoming. The room we stayed in was small but just right for sleeping our four family members with two tall teenagers who had no problem fitting in the bunkbed.
The host family recommended one of the two restaurants in town and we were so glad she did because we had a delicious meal right on the gorgeous pier area looking out over the ocean.
Unfortunately, we did not get to have the breakfast that is offered at Skorrahestar since we had to leave very early to get to our next destination. But we walked into the kitchen to refill our water bottles, and we were greeted by the lovely smell of baking bread, probably from the day before! There was no space for toiletries/soaps (common in guest facilities in Iceland) so it would be helpful to have a small portable shelf that could be moved into the shower and out again to hold such amenities!

- Odile (10/5): - Muy cómoda la habitación. Entorno precioso. Caballos y conejo que los niños pueden tocar. Buen desayuno Nada
- Susan (10/5): We loved Skorrahestar and will be back! - It was clean and comfortable, with lovely views and animals. It was easy to get to the town nearby, plus another town (with a wonderful restaurant) in the next fjord. The riding was wonderful. The hosts were all helpful and fun and interesting to talk to! We loved the stories, piano playing, and singing. The only issue was the rain- but that wasn’t even a problem because they had waterproof jackets and pants for riding, so we had a great time.

雖然住宿設備比較老舊,但還算舒適
- Eva Balbine (9/5): Wie zu Hause - Sehr nette familiäre Atmosphäre, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt
- Sven (10/5): Fühlten uns sofort willkommen - Sehr nettes älteres Ehepaar, welches die Unterkunft zusammen mit ihren Kindern leitet. Wir fühlten uns auf Anhieb sehr willkommen. Der Frühstücksraum war früher einmal ein Kuhstall der liebevoll umgebaut worden ist. Uns fehlte es an nichts. Die Gastgeber sind sehr offen und erzählen einem gerne etwas über Island. Nichts
- Angela (8/5): Piacevole - Sala soggiorno La camera non era riscaldata
- Miķelis (10/5): -

- Azita (10/5): Es como estar en casa - La estancia fue muy calida Nada
- J.J. (7/5): Een prima accommodatie voor paardenliefhebbers. Prijzig, de prijs/kwaliteit is niet in verhouding. - Heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel/beheerder. Een bijzondere accommodatie, namelijk een boerderij. Goede bedden en schoon. De zolderkamer was krap, je kon moeilijk je bagage en overige spullen kwijt.
