Guest Reviews
- William (10/5): - This was a guesthouse where we were greeted by the owner as we drove up. She showed us our room, which was clean and comfortable. She also made wonderful pancakes for breakfast for everyone, it felt like a family meal. I would recommend to anyone wanting something other than the sterile hotel room experience.
- Abby (10/5): - The moment I walked in I felt I was at home. However, what made the experience is the host in the morning. Over coffee, I had a good conversation with the proprietor and he absolutely set my day off on the right foot. He was telling all about his personal experiences with the Eyjafjallajökull volcano and showed me a book and some personal photos. I also was able to ask some questions about like in general in the Skógafoss area. He also has the most friendly border collie a person could ever know. I delayed leaving in the morning because I so enjoyed the company plus the information. Please, if you are driving the south coast or the ring road, stop here for great conversation, and a homey feel. I have already decided that when I return to Iceland, I will make a point to stay here again. My favorite guest house I stayed in during my time in Iceland. Also, checking in is easy-you can come in at any time and they are ready. The breakfast with homemade pancakes was great! At least the night I was there, the guests were quiet but friendly in the morning. There are games and books available as well, and great views of the ocean and fields and mountains and Vestmannaeyjar island. And truly local advice. Thank you for the wonderful experience!!!!!
- Lucie (8/5): - Keurig netjes. Weg ernaar toe is gravel.
- Andrea (10/5): - Si tratta di una piccola palazzina su due piani, facilmente raggiungibile dalla strada 1. La nostra camera al primo piano leggermente piccola e con il tetto spiovente ma sufficiente per la notte. Belli i bagni. Spazio comune e cucina al piano terra. I proprietari molto gentili e disponibili, al mattino vengono per preparare la colazione non fornitissima ma buona.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The owners of the guesthouse we're exceedingly friendly and cordial. However, the first night a couple were cooking some strange lamb stew that made the downstairs smelly. I think the other guests could have refrained from frying weird food.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We loved our stay here and were in awe of the views! The host was lovely and helpful and made us a delicious pancake breakfast. We hope to come back some day!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Sehr netter Gastgeber. Ordentliches Frühstück mut pancakes. Tolle Lage, schöne Aussicht.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Epic location!
- Kiersten (6/5): - Could not stay due to limited check in and no way to contact hotel
- Daniel (10/5): Icelandic home comforts - Amazing location, close to Skogafoss and Solheimajokul a 40 minute drive to Vík. Great views.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Absolutely loved this place ! The views were amazing , the host was super friendly and it was located just a short distance from several attractions.
- jean paul (8/5): - guesthouse agréable la propriétaire vous reçoit de façon très convenable ce fut un moment très sympathique
- Peter (10/5): - Nice cozy little place in beautiful settings with a very kind and service minded host. Simple but nice breakfast and easy check in. I could stay there again!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 다소 오래되기는 했지만 잘 관리되어 있고, 친절합니다.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Schöner Ausblick, neue Bäder, große Küche.
- Claire (10/5): Parfait ! - Le séjour était vraiment génial. Les hôtes étaient très gentils et serviables, nous avons aussi eu un bon contact avec les autres clients avec qui nous avons pu échanger. L'ambiance était bon enfant et détendue. Nous y avons été bloqué durant une tempête et les propriétaires sont venus avec un réchaud le matin pour nous faire des pancakes (plus d'électricité) et réchauffer le café et le lait, ils nous ont dit que nous pouvions partir quand nous le voulions et ne pas respecter l'heure normale du check out vue les conditions exceptionnelles. La vue sur les montagnes derrière et totalement dégagée devant était incroyable, perdus au milieu de nulle part, c'était pour cette raison que nous l'avons choisis. Il y avait même des jumelles pour observer au loin et des livres sur l'Islande. La chambre était un peu petite mais douillette, le lit confortable, les couettes chaudes et les sanitaires propres. Je vous recommande vraiment cet endroit !
- Mikaelle (10/5): - Très bien Super emplacement Vue de dingue Je recommande
- Jurie (6/5): Cute farm style stay if you don't mind sharing - The location near Vik and the attractions are great. The host was very friendly. It had a welcoming farm feel to the stay. At the time we booked it was about the same price range as other self-contained cottages that we enjoyed a lot more, but I see the price has dropped a lot since. There were 7 rooms that shared 2 bathrooms and a kitchen. It meant when arriving waiting for two or three other guests to finish making their dinners first before being able to use the kitchen. In the morning, sharing of the 2 bathrooms turned into a very patient waiting game. Another guest stayed in the bathroom for an hour, despite knocking on the door to encourage them to be considerate to other guests. The rooms did seem well sound insolated so we were not bothered by noises from other guests (or they were also just quiet.)
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean and big room, good place to see the northern lights.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice house - Very clear and beautiful place to stay
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Sehr sauber, gute Lage, sehr nette Betreuung. Gemeinschaftsbad war auch ok.
- Esther (10/5): - La casa está aislada, pero a la vez bien situada. El check in se realiza por medio de una pizarra en el zaguán donde la dueña pone las normas de la casa y la habitación asignada. La casa es enorme y tiene una cocina completamente equipada, un salón bastante amplio y un buen número de habitaciones en dos plantas. La de abajo cuenta con un baño y la de arriba otro, que era enorme. El desayuno empezaba a las 8, pero realmente a las 8 empezaron a prepararlo, por lo que prácticamente todos los huéspedes nos servimos en la cocina y nos llevamos al comedor lo que queríamos desayunar.
- Charles (10/5): 1st night in Iceland - The Raudafell 1 was our first night stay in Iceland. It is centrally located to view the area waterfalls n iconic DC-3 on the beach. Carla made us feel at home by preparing pancakes (breakfast) for the folks staying at the Guesthouse. We also learned about some history of Iceland before she had to makeready for the new arrivals. Great stay!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It is clean, warm, comfortable and close to town centre. We enjoyed a good stay here.
- An Ting (4/5): Would go somewhere else next time - There’s no freezer so if you have any frozen food then good luck with that. There’s only 2 bathrooms for 8 rooms and people are constantly trying to open the door without knocking. Also there’s no towel so expect to be very wet after shower if you did not bring your own. There is a door in the shower place that’s connected to outside and there’s a storm the night we stayed and the wind kept howling into the shower area and it was freezing...the shower hose is auto stop every like 10 seconds so I have to keep pressing on the knob while trying to shower....very inconvenient....and the room is the smallest I’ve ever stayed out of the whole 11 days in Iceland
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location near Skogafoss. Didn’t like smells from kitchen in hallway and noise from water heater.
- Lauren (10/5): Comfortable Bed and Breakfast - We loved our two night stay at Raudafell Guest House! It's set up more like a bed and breakfast with shared bathrooms, kitchen, living space, and breakfast (pancakes, yogurt, toast, ham, hard boiled eggs, etc.) included. There was an issue with our booking that we realized the day of and so I called the hotel to see if they accommodate our request. Heida was so great and moved things around to allow my friend and I to have two beds instead of one, which we REALLY appreciated. We moved some of the furniture around to fit our needs, but we were able to get around with two of us and a lot of luggage. Heida lives just across the street and is the one that owns, takes care of the guest house, and makes breakfast. She was helpful with information about the culture and the surrounding area. The house was updated and clean, very comfortable to stay in! Free parking and wifi. Only two bathrooms for about 7 rooms, but we didn't have any issues with access to them due to people getting up and leaving at different times. Just a few minutes from Skogafoss Waterfall, which was one of the things that we wanted to see. This is the perfect place if you want to see the sites on the southeastern part of Iceland! I would go back there if I ever returned to Iceland.
- murielle (10/5): Guesthouse au milieu des champs - Guesthouse au milieu des champs chambre confortable et très spacieuse petit déjeuner délicieux avec des pancakes préparés par l’hôtesse sous nos yeux
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Wonderful location, great place to stay for couple of nights
- Robert (8/5): Excellent stay at Raudafell 1 - Excellent stay at Raudafell 1 - we received a confirmation for our stay with details to find the house and instruction. So convenient. The house is brand new, very comfortable rooms and huge bathroom. Our host was really nice and served godd breakfast. We recommend Raudafell.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Chambres petites mais neuves, salle de bain bien assez grande, pas d'accueil mais au bout d'un moment on sait quand même où se trouve la salle commune, la cuisine et la salle de bain, ce n'est pas dérangeant !
- Harri (8/5): Decent place to stay in Iceland - Basic accomodation in Iceland, a bit expensive and very basic level room. Everything was clean and this was nicely located in our route around the island.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice place to relax ... very good breakfast with selfmade pancakes ... yummi ...
- Petra (6/5): Nice but very cramped - Old farmhouse re-done for accomodation. 7 private rooms but only 2 shared bathrooms!!! Our room number 1 had an amazing view but was so small we could not even fit the suitcase. Other rooms seemed to be bigger. Included breakfast was very nice, but again the space to eat it was extremely cramped considering number of guests. I also did not like the fact that breakfast was supposed to start at 8am, but the girl who was preparing it barely came at 8am and then started to make coffee etc. I was disappointed considering the price. Location is beautiful though.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Clean place, very nice! The only thing that needs improving is that there are 2 really large bathrooms with 2 toilets in it, for 7 rooms. We would have wanted a seperate toilet.
- Janice l (10/5): Raudafell Iceland - Wonderful location and very friendly people. Very comfortable and peaceful. Great experience. Will revisit
- Eyal (10/5): - When you arrive, just look for your room number on the whiteboard, no need to contact the owners. The farm and environment are sweet.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Unique location, comfortable surroundings. Directions could be a little better..perhaps some signage at turnoff.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - A comfortable rural retreat with a terrific view of the area. Surrounded by mountains, farms and the ocean. Very quiet and comfortable. Owner is pleasant to chat with. Ample parking and a short distance from the main highway. Good restaurant nearby.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Had a great stay for two nights. We never met the owner of the house but this wasn't a problem. Even the arrival late at night made no difficulties.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Awesome location! Perfectly nestled in the mountainside!
- Kirill (10/5): - Absolutely fantastic place with great host, perfect location, modern, beautiful house with great beds. Recommend!!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Love this place! It’s modern, clean and comfortable, and perfectly located! Will definitely come back, and highly recommend to anyone!
- Anne (8/5): - This was really nice place. Showers and kitchen were clean and modern.
- Pauline (8/5): Idealement situé - Accueil chaleureux du propriétaire, bon petit déjeuner le matin, et à 20 minutes en voiture du glacier Sólheimajökul.
- Emily (10/5): - This is THE most perfect little place to stay if you’re coming from the golden circle and going to Vik/Black Sand Beach/Hofn etc. The hostess greeted us on our arrival and was very nice. The breakfast in the morning was sandwiches/cereal/skyr. The ONLY negative thing is that because you’re sharing a bathroom some of the other tenants can be rude and hold up the bathroom for an hour or 2 *insert huge eye roll* ... otherwise this is the most perfect place with amazing morning views! We stayed in the 6th room which has a breath taking morning view of the mountains! Highly recommend this little find!!!
