Guest Reviews

• Kristel (7/5): Très bien - Chambres très bien. Tout ce qu’il fallait. À 2min de la cascade. Très bon petit déjeuner Rien
• Carlo (4/5): Pessimo ci sarebbe da chiedere il rimborso - Poco o niente Le camere hanno dimensioni adatte per i puffi. Nel bagno vi è un lavandino di dimensioni inadeguate con inoltre il mobiletto sporgente per cui non si poteva usare. Non c’era possibilità di appoggiare le valigie.
• Roberto (7/5): Vicinissima alla cascata - Posizione vicino alla cascata. Ottima la colazione. Stanza minuscola. L’assenza di personale ricettivo rende l’accoglienza un po’ fredda. Anche la gestione della possibile cancellazione del soggiorno dovuta a maltempo è stata poco supportiva.
• Rachel (10/5): Perfect for a short break - Breakfast lovely, location is great! Can see waterfall from small window. Free parking and comfy Hot tub is ready for use and a great addition after a long hike Sauna wasn’t on
• Vasily (10/5): Hot tube was awsome experience after long day - Great place with no people but everything you need)
• Ernst (5/5): -
• Christophe (8/5): - La proximité des cascades de Skogafoss, le petit déjeuner, la literie Le vis a vis de la chambre (parking/hotel voisin)
• Konstantina (10/5): -
• Carina (6/5): - Die Nähe zum Skogarfoss ist toll! Das Frühstück ist sehr gut. Das Badezimmer ist zu klein, das Waschbecken so winzig, dass man nicht weiß wie man Zähne putzen soll. Das Wasser riecht extrem nach Schwefel, aber das ist für Island nicht ungewöhnlich. Der Fernseher hat nicht funktioniert, er zeigt zwar alle Sender hat aber keinen Empfang. Betten waren nicht bequem.
• Frances (10/5): I would recommend staying here. - Location is literally a few minutes walk to the Skógafoss. The rooms are small, but the bathroom is a good comfortable size.
• Marjolein (9/5): -
• Rishabh (8/5): Overall good value for this stay, if you don’t mind it being the best possible property - Very close to Skogafoss, could walk from property Seemed a little old, dumpster out in front
• Antonio (5/5): -
• Marco (9/5): -
• Anikó (8/5): -
• Robert (10/5): If you stay here go to the Freya Cafe. - It was warm and cozy. It was located right next to a super cool waterfall and a really good restaurant.
• Bill (9/5): - Excellent location for Skoga falls within walking distance. Breakfast was excellent.
• Águeda (8/5): Buena - Buena ubicación y buen desayuno. Habitación un poco pequeña y antigua.
• Alberto (10/5): -
• Fabio (9/5): - Posizione ottima per visitare la cascata di skogafoss
• JISON (8/5): - 위치가 정말 좋습니다. 이름 그대로 스코가 포스가 걸어서 5분거리인 것부터 해서, 나름 큰 도시인 Vik 까지가 차로 30분 안걸리고 유명 관광지인 Dyrholaey나 Reynisdrangar 등 다 20분 안걸려서 갈 수 있습니다. 여길 숙소로 잡으실 정도면 다들 렌트는 하셨을거니 렌트여행객들한테 아주 매력적입니다. 조식 메뉴는 다채롭지는 않으나 다 먹을만 했습니다. 방도 넓어서 짐풀기 좋았네요. 티비로 유튜브도 볼 수 있었습니다.(처음에 연결 안됐는데 직원이 고생한 끝에 연결시켜줌, Thank you.) 다른 리뷰어들처럼 물에서 유황냄새가 많이 났습니다. 씻는건 괜찮은데 양치물로 쓰기엔 좀 힘들긴 하네요. 그리고 새벽에8 화재경보기가 귀 찢어질 듯한 소리로 울렸는데 대처가 느렸습니다. 저희 와이프가 경보기 안내판에 그림을 보고 끄긴 했는데 정말 잠이 싹 달아나버렸네요.
• Monika (10/5): -
• Silvia (8/5): -
• Gloriana (10/5): Excelente opción - Excelente Hotel. Lo recomiendo muchísimo, si van para el sureste de Islandia es un excelente punto, el desayuno es delicioso el cual tiene un 100. Tiene café y chocolate caliente ilimitado Tuvimos un pequeño problema con el clave de acceso a una habitación pero nos contestaron súper rápido y se arreglo todo!
• gal (9/5): very nice place. notice that it is self check in, but they are able to help when you contact them - gluten free breakfast, the location was very close to the waterfall, which is absolutely beautiful The bed was not very big, if you're tall it might be a problem
• Marcel (8/5): -
• Elizabeth (9/5): - The location is really what sells this place! Not only are views incredible but it’s a 5 minute walk to Skogafoss. We loved being able to walk down there early and late when there were fewer crowds. The hotel itself is really cozy and the self check in worked well. Having tea and coffee in the lobby and a hot tub is a nice bonus. The breakfast was also good with both hot and cold options. The bathroom in our room looked to be recently redone and was really nice! The double room is on the small side if you travel with a lot of luggage, but it worked fine for us.
• Nataļja (8/5): Great location, nice hot tub, good breakfast - The location was fantastic. It is near Skogafoss (waterfall) and we had the good opportunity to see it early in the morning without any tourists. Also the hot tub was very nice after the day of exploring Iceland. Very good breakfast is included in the price. Tea and coffee are available in the lobby free of charge.
• YOUNGJIN (5/5): -
• Giulia (9/5): -
• Elouan (3/5): - No staff at hotel, email of hotel code not sent and no number to call you need to drive to another Hotel 300M away to get the code and then the person looks at me like im stupid because I ask if there are different codes or a key for main entrance and my door. Also not a single accomodation for eating your own dinner (no plates, no microwave etc) even tho were in the middle of Iceland and all nearby hotels have those accomodations
• Małgorzata (10/5): Chętnie zatrzymam się w nim jeszcze raz. - Piękny widok z okna w pokoju. Pokój czysty, bardzo przytulny. W części wspólnej całodobowo dostępny ekspres do kawy i herbaty. Urozmaicone śniadanie. Bardzo miła obsługa. Bardzo blisko wodospadu. Dla mnie bez wad.
• Patrik (8/5): -
• Nelys (8/5): Comfortable and convenient -
• Malgorzata (5/5): Nie udalo nam sie wypoczac przed dalsza droga. - Wygodne łózko. Sniadanie bylo dobre i wybor byl wystarczajacy. Okna, drzwi i sciany zupelnie nie izolują od halasu. Trafila nam sie glosna i niekulturalna ekipa Włochow i niestety nie moglismy spac. Wieczorem glosne rozmowy i halasy w budynku i w wannie na zewnatrz, Od 6 rano robili kawe w ekspresie i to nas obudzilo. Poza tym woda w kranach jest geotermalna i ma niezbyt ladny zapach. Smakuje jeszcze gorzej :/
• YA HUEI (10/5): - 床鋪可愛的折花，自助入住用密碼鎖進入，沒有鑰匙的煩惱，走路就可以到的Skogafoss省了一次停車費，晚餐附近有一間餐廳可以去，但需預定，熱水應該是溫泉水，洗完滑滑的，入住大廳有貼心的飲料、巧克力可以自行取用
• Francesco (7/5): - Hotel con self check-in comodo e vicinissimo alla cascata Skógafoss. Ottimo per lasciare l’auto nel parcheggio gratuito e andare a piedi alla cascata. Camera pulita. Nella hall c’è un distributore per prendere a tutte le ore bevande calde. Colazione ben fornita Bagno non grandissimo
• Nicolas (9/5): Lieu idéal pour une halte dans le sud du pays - Hôtel idéalement situé Proche de la route 1 et surtout de la magnifique cascade de Skogafoss Le chambre était bien confortable et le petit déjeuner simple et complet : parfait Un distributeur de café est à disposition dans le hall,et le petit plus : un spa en extérieur
• Jeremy (10/5): - Tout Rien tout était parfait
• sylvain (8/5): Proche site rando bon petit déjeuner - Jolie hôtel au pied de skogarfoss, parking gratuit pour résident (qr code dispo au skorgarfoss hôtel à 200m) Chambre petite mais confort , pas de vue Jacuzzi ok , sauna hors service Très bon petit déjeuner Sauna hors service
• Xanthe (8/5): - The staff were brilliant - let us change the date of our booking last minute, took our breakfast order and chatted about local culture. The hot tub was lovely and we had it all to ourselves. Sauna was cute but cold - we decided we were too tired to wait for it to heat up so we didn't ask them to. Decking outside so nice to walk around barefoot between facilities. The location is good - it felt remote, with a field behind and unobstructed view of the hills. It's a five minute walk to the river and ten minutes to the waterfall itself. I wish we'd been able to stay for longer and get some proper hikes in! Coffee machine / hot chocolate / tea and herbal tea selection with chocolates next to this (cute touch!). We enjoyed our breakfast :) As others have mentioned, there was a bit of a smell in the bathroom and the water didn't taste great. We wondered if this maybe varies according to season - we went in January, off-season and we were the only people in the place. The bathroom had a whiff of mould and stale water. The tap wouldn't run cold either, so not great for drinking! This was the only downside.
• Kristin (7/5): -
• DANIELA (8/5): -
• Timothy (10/5): - The room was absolutely amazing. Spacious and with a private bathroom. The view looked out over the hills and skogafoss waterfall. Breakfast was great each morning and the staff was incredibly helpful
• Francesco2035 (7/5): - L'emplacement est top Un peu vieillot

• MariushBB (7/5): - Bardzo dobra lokalizacja obok dwóch wodospadów, można zaoszczędzić na parkingu. Sam hotel w całości obsługiwany zdalnie, więc z każdym pytaniem trzeba dzwonić. Pokój mały, ale na 1 noc wystarczy. Ciepło, łóżka wygodne. Śniadanie smaczne i bardzo różnorodne jak na standardy islandzkie. Automat do kawy i herbaty działał bardzo dobrze i robił smaczne napoje. Cena wysoka, a standard średni. Wskazane w opisie jacuzzi to de facto duża wanna z gorącą wodą, nie ma funkcji napowietrzania. Za to woda jest mega gorąca.
• Gal (9/5): שהות נחמדה בסקוגה - שהות נחמדה מאוד. המקום מסודר ונקי. אפשרות להכין תה\קפה גם בשעה מאוחרת. ארוחת בוקר במקום. אווריה נעימה ורומנטית. מיקום מדהים.
• Sophie (8/5): -
• Victor (10/5): -
• Steffi (7/5): - Sehr kleine, aber schöne Zimmer und der Whirlpool und die Getränkemaschine konnten gratis benutzt werden. Das Hotel ist ohne Personal, ausser beim Frühstück, es wurden jedoch alle nötigen Infos proaktiv zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Zimmer sind sehr ringhörig und die Fenster nicht ganz dicht (störte bei dem starken Wind etwas)
• SARA (7/5): Ubicación fabulosa - La ubicación es estupenda ya que está muy cerca de la cascada Skógafoss, desde nuestra habitación podíamos ver a lo lejos la cascada. La habitación no era muy grande pero fue correcta, la calefacción funcionaba bien. El baño era nuevo. El agua de la ducha huele mucho azufre, sé que es algo normal en esta zona pero es algo que no me gustó. Nos alojamos en la habitación 105, en la cual tuvimos un continuo ruido de algo golpeando que duró toda nuestra estancia, escribí al alojamiento, ya que es auto-checking y no hay personal, por lo que tuvimos que aguantarnos con el ruido toda la estancia. Al día siguiente nos contestaron que lo revisarían, pero yo ya no iba a estar más en el hotel. ¡¡¡Menos mal que viajé con tapones!!!
• Nicola (7/5): -
• Etienne (7/5): Goede locatie voor meerdere uitstapjes en activiteiten. - Goede locatie om van daaruit meerdere activiteiten te ondernemen. Het bijbehorende vlakbij gelegen hotel/restaurant serveert smakelijke maaltijden. Het tapwater uit douche en wastafel rook sterk naar vulkanische gassen wat ik echt niet fris vond.
• Krizia (10/5): - Muy lindo, limpio y cómodo
• romina (10/5): -
• Annika (10/5): -
• Yingmei (9/5): - Close to the main landmark. The overall condition of the self-check-in hotel is slightly outdated.
• Marianne (8/5): - Der var fri kaffe, the, kakao under hele opholdet.
• Sherri (7/5): -
• Ann-Katrin (5/5): War ok, würden wir nicht unbedingt weiterempfehlen. - 5 Gehminuten vom Skogafoss entfernt. Gut ausgestattetes Zimmer. Heizung hat die ganze Nacht geschlagen. Wasser hat sehr nach Schwefel gestunken, konnte man fast nicht zum Zähneputzen benutzen. Außenbereich um den HotTub etwas in die Jahre gekommen, bei Nässe starke Rutschgefahr! Frühstück passabel.
• Aneka (8/5): - Excellent staff and very accommodating to my allergies at breakfast. Very good location walking distance to Skogafoss. Very clean and nice room. Easy check in. Good communication.
• FABRIZIO (8/5): - Bevande calde disponibili H24 Temperatura delle camera troppo bassa
• Tina (7/5): Tolle Unterkunft, wobei mit Hot Tub und Gratiskaffee vieles zur Verfügung gestellt wird - Wir konnten einen Hot Tub während unseres Aufenthalts nutzen. Das Self-Checkin funktionierte reibungslos. Ausserdem hätten wir auch eine Kaffeemaschine mit einer grossen Auswahl kostenlos nutzen können. Durch die Nähe zum Skogafoss konnten wir diesen sogar zu Fuss erreichen. Mit dem Personal kamen wir durch das Self-Checkin sowie auch während dem Frühstück nicht wirklich in Kontakt.
• Joan (7/5): Ideal location for a one night stay on our driving holiday - Ideal location for our driving holiday. Self check in was great and there was a free tea/ coffee machine in the lobby for everyone to use. There was a hot tub that worked. We were also supplied with dressing gowns for hot tub/ sauna use. Concerned that the key code for outer doors were the same for everyone and it was the same for our room. Didn’t ask anyone else if they had same codes. Sauna wasn’t working and the shower prior to using the hot tub didn’t work. Breakfast was not very varied compared with other places we had stayed.
• Caio (9/5): -
• jacob (10/5): -
• Mark (8/5): - Good breakfast. Lovely location. Self check-in. Spacious room, nice view. Mattress
• Wiktoria (9/5): -
• Claudia (10/5): Nice location, delicious breakfast, free parking - Location & breakfast For the triple room one extra chair could help.
• ZIXUAN (9/5): - 早餐很好吃！自助checkin 很好！ 设施稍显陈旧，但整体很干净
• Yu Chieh (4/5): - 就在史可加瀑布附近，位置非常方便 廁所非常臭也非常潮濕 而且房間也不大
• P. (10/5): Heerlijk verblijf op een top locatie! - Heerlijk uitgebreid ontbijt met zelfs home made cake! Koffie en thee stond al klaar bij aankomst. Prima bedden en badjassen en badlakens die keurig klaar lagen om te gaan genieten in de hot tub met
• Lalaine (9/5): - Love that the property feels like you’re in with the locals. The back view is a field of animals and waterfalls to the left. I’m assuming this goes for all the hotels in the south, the shower had septic tank for when in use.
• Pilar (8/5): A convenient and good place to stay at Skogar - Breakfast was lovely - the location is fantastic! If you have the chance do as much of the hike from the waterfall as possible, it is incredible. The entrance looks shabby but the place is just fine and the location is great.
• Kris (8/5): - Locatie super, op wandel afstand van de watervallen Geur van douchewater verschrikkelijk
• Ron (6/5): Redelijk goed hotel tegen te hoge prijs - Eenvoudig hotel, wat onderhoud nodig heeft. Prima locatie vlakbij de waterval, goed ontbijt, (gratis) koffie Wij hadden 3 kamers. Allen vrij klein, zeker voor de hoge prijs die je te betaald
• Mishkat (7/5): Fair - Location Toilet is very small.
• pierre (5/5): Visiting the area - The room was given as a deluxe but the price was extremely high for the value. We are so disappointed to have paid so much!
• Felicia (8/5): -
• Heleen (8/5): Vlakbij de Skogawaterval gelegen. Goed ontbijt en gratis koffie en theeservice - Lekker bed en goed ontbijt Vrij kleine kamer
• Nuria (10/5): - Disponer de una máquina de cafe/chocolate en todo momento, con espacio para poder cenar . Situación privilegiada, al lado de la cascada y del puesto de Fisch and Chips.
• Krisztina (9/5): -
• Amélie (7/5): Bien - L'hôtel est plutôt bien passée et est correct. Il y a une machine à café qui peut être utilisée n'importe quand et c'est un vrai plus. L'emplacement fait grimper les prix et la chambre ne justifie pas un tel tarif. C'est un self check in et nous n'avions reçu aucun mail avant le séjour pour les codes d'accès. On a dû appeler la réception à deux reprises (car pas sur place) car les premiers codes étaient faux.
• Angelica (7/5): -
• Xavier (8/5): -
• a. (7/5): tolles Frühstück - aber insgesamt sehr teuer - Kaffeevollautomat rund um die Uhr nutzbar überraschend tolles Frühstück - super zu Fuß zur Sehenswürdigkeit 5min etwas teuer ich weiß, es ist nicht so wichtig, aber von außen nicht mehr taufrisch
• Tomasz (7/5): You pay premium for the location, but is it worth it? - Location a few hundred meters from Skogarfoss waterfall is really the only thing exceptional about this hotel. Bathroom is very tight and there is no place to put you soap/shampoo inside the shower cabin. There is less than usual sound insulation between rooms. I felt the price was not adequate for the facilities - you just pay premium for the location.
• Eyal (8/5): מלון נחמד בקרבת מפל סקוגפוס - מיקום, נקיון וארוחת בוקר טובה מים חמים עם ריח לא נעים
• Anna (10/5): - Przepiękny widok z okna, super lokalizacja, ekspres z kawą, herbata oraz czekoladą na parterze. Przestronny pokój, szlafroczki.
• Bizon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dr. (9/5): good hotel - good place and good breakfast and free coffee all time is attraction at hotel. all over hotel is good.
• Saska2nian (5/5): Stay anywhere else, preferably Vik - The breakfast was included. The front entrance told the story with peeling paintwork, weeds, and cobwebs everywhere. I seemed to have paid a 5-star price for a 2-star hotel. I have already stayed at 4 different places in Iceland so I am used to the price of accommodation, but this was out of sync with others. The room was also poor, with a tiny bathroom comprised of a mini basin (no hope of filling a water bottle), and a toilet so crammed in that we couldn't shower without almost stepping on it. Despite midnight sun, the curtains had huge gaps and no blockout attempted. I didn't realise until it was too late that the village (comprised of nothing but a few places for accommodation) has NOTHING. We couldn't even buy water, so the issue of not being able to fill water bottles in the basin was a problem. The water has a very mineralised taste here, unlike the rest of Iceland, and bottled would have been preferable.
• Liis (9/5): Superb - The location was perfect, right beside the ring road and waterfall. Self check in possibility if arriving late. Hotel was quiet, small and cosy. Coffee all the time available. This was the only accommodation during our trip that offered warm breakfast - bacon and scrambled eggs. Recommending!
• Winston (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anuj (9/5): Superb - the location was superb. just next to waterfall skogafoss. and what a beautiful surroundings .green and lovely. the hotel did not have elevators , which was not comfortable at all , we have to drag luggage all the way up .
