Guest Reviews
- Karin (9/5): Gemütlich und ruhig - Super nettes familiengeführtes Guest House!
Herrliche Ruhe, leckeres Frühstück mit selbstgemachten und lokalen Produkten, liebevolle Deko, freundliche Besitzer. --
- Ana Rita (10/5): Mega confortável - O conforto, o silêncio e o pequeno almoço maravilhoso
- France (10/5): Parfait - L'hôte est très sympathique et de bons conseils. Le logement est moderne, spacieux, propre et confortable. Endroit magnifique, isolé et très calme. Parfait pour les amoureux de la nature et du silence. Le petit déjeuner est complet et copieux.
- Marinus (10/5): - Sehr ruhig, schöne kleine Cabinets, sehr bequem und gemütlich und sehr schön gemacht Rund um das Gaathaus gibt es gar nichts, kein Laden, kein Restaurant, keine Tankstelle, einfach nichts. Checkinzeit um 17 Uhr war für uns schlecht da es ein verregneter Tag war, wir konnten dann aber früher einchecken
- Roger (9/5): -
- Robert (10/5): What you hope for when you stay in Iceland. - The family that runs this property is great - very welcoming and accommodating. The room was spacious and comfortable. The food was fantastic - especially the chocolate cake. Do yourself a favor and order it for dessert! The common dining room was a pleasant place to have a coffee and converse with fellow travelers. Great location to see the Aurora on a clear night. Nothing was bad.
- Philippe (10/5): Une très belle étape au milieu de nulle part - De spacieux bungalow très lumineux avec une vue superbe sur l’océan et les montagnes.
Pensez à demander s’ils proposent le dîner. Ce n’est pas systématique et nous avons eu la chance d’en profiter. D’excellents produits locaux et du fait maison.
Si vous le souhaitez, ils viennent vous prévenir en cas d’aurore boréal. Nous avons eu cette chance !
- Maria (10/5): Excellent - Excellent location, wonderful ambience. Warm space and hot water. The owners were extremely kind and helpful and the breakfast was awesome! 🤩
- Kira (10/5): - Unglaublich freundliche und hilfsbereite Hosts, die uns trotz schlechter Wetterverhältnisse bei allem unterstützt haben.
Fantastisches Frühstück mit vielen selbstgemachten Produkten bzw. Produkten aus der Region.
- Michael (9/5): - Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber.
- Verkooijen (10/5): - Hebben er heerlijk avond gegeten en ontbeten. Vanaf het huisje had je prachtig uitzicht op de bergen en weilanden. Hierbij konden wij vanaf het huisje zelfs een groep rendieren zien. Verder erg rustgevende plek en fantastisch plek om het noorderlicht te zien
- MICHIO (10/5): -
- Magdalena (10/5): Outstanding place! - The accomodation was perfect and the hostess with her son made us feel so welcome. Will definately be back!
- Hendrik (10/5): -
- Karin (9/5): Würden jederzeit wiederkommen - Lage und die Gastfreundlichkeit, super Frühstück Kein Teekocher im Zimmer, für einen Tee muss man in die Kälte zum Aufenthaltsraum - dafür tolle Teeauswahl. Kein TV im Zimmer
- Artem (9/5): - Amazing views
- LUIS FELLIPE (10/5): -
- Yun (10/5): Cute family owned place - The breakfast was fantastic!! And the room was very clean. No electric kettle , no fridge in the room. ( you can get hot water from the reception room, but when it was cold and rainy…it was not easy to go out and get it)
The shower had only a half door, so water will spill after showering
- Wael (10/5): -
- Amanda (10/5): - I absolutely loved my cabin! The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the decor was charming and thoughtfully designed. The host was wonderful - so accommodating and friendly. She went out of her way to explain everything and make sure I had a seamless experience. Breakfast was wonderful - fresh, delicious, and clearly prepared with care. The location was also ideal - peaceful and scenic. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable, welcoming retreat!
- Magda Gl (10/5): - A friendly and helpful owner, a charming place, a fantastic, comfortable cottage, and a delicious breakfast made with products from local suppliers.
- Pascal (10/5): - Liegt mitten im nichts (find ich wichtig zu wissen).
Hier stimmt für mich jedoch alles.
Familiengeführtes Unternehmen, kleine aber sehr fein eingerichtete Bungalows. Sehr stimmig aus meiner Sicht.
Alles Dunkel in der Nacht, für Polarlichter oder sternenschau unfassbar toll. Bar bis 23 Uhr offen, mit isländischen Preisen (habe einen isländischen Whisky probiert, 1500 ISK was ein normaler Preis ist)
Bestes Frühstück bis jetzt, vieles selbst gemacht (Aussage, glaube ich auch) toll her gerichtet.
Komme zu 100% wieder, nächstes Mal für mindestens 2 Nächte! Wer Hunde nicht mag, könnte einem über den Weg laufen. Glaube aber sie lassen ihn nicht raus wenn ich gesagt hätte das ich keine Hunde mag (was nicht der Fall ist).
- Judith (10/5): - Beautiful site, lovely solidly built and designed individual units, great hosts
- Marie (10/5): - Accueil chaleureux, vue incroyable, chambre spacieuse et très propre, le petit déjeuner était divers, copieux et très bon.
- Scott (10/5): - Very nice accommodations, very clean, very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast.
- Nathan (10/5): -
- Rylee (10/5): -
- Diane (10/5): - Breakfast was delicious, owners were very conscientious and considerate, room design was modern and beautiful, beds comfy, everything perfect
- Anja (10/5): We loved our stay at Hrafnavellir - everything from the lodges, the views, the breakfast to the owners was amazing! - The owners were super friendly and welcoming; the lodges were lovely, with amazing views. Breakfast was delicious and even better for being home made.
- Virág (10/5): Nagyon hangulatos kis hely, figyelmes szállásadókkal, istenien finom ételekkel. - Barátságos kabinok, helyi ételeket-italokat tudtunk kipróbálni, helyi zene szólt :)
- Eric (10/5): - The hosts here were extremely friendly and easy to talk to. They knocked on our door because the northern lights were in full display right above our house. Definitely a memory I’ll never forget, so thank you! The room was clean, check in was easy, and breakfast was good.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - The owners were friendly and welcoming. She alerted us that the N Lights were showing so we didn’t miss them! The homemade skyr was the best we’ve had.
- Regina (9/5): -
- Joy (10/5): Lovely stay on our ring road adventure - Loved our room - very comfortable beds and very nicely decorated. The hosts are wonderful - very accommodating, friendly, explains everything, and put together a plentiful breakfast spread. The homemade skyr was delicious! Would definitely stay here on a future trip to Iceland. Nothing
- Eve Marie (10/5): - The guest house was modern, clean and comfortable. Semi private decks are nice for viewing a sunrise. I spent some time taking in the morning view and listening to the ocean in the distance along with nearby sheep. I only wish I had a nice hot coffee and pastry to go with it. There is no in room coffee maker and you have to schedule a time if you want to take part in the included breakfast. We passed on setting a time because we weren't sure what time we would be ready after arriving late.
- Henriette (10/5): Vi følte os meget velkomne og nød de smukke omgivelser. Morgenmaden er hele opholdet værd og vi kan varmt anbefale den 8 - Så smuk beliggenhed, fantastisk seng, meget venlige værter og den bedste skyr jeg nogensinde har fået Der var ingenting jeg ikke kunne lide
- Dave (10/5): -
- Josh (10/5): - This is the best place we have stayed on our trip! Wish we could have spent more time here. The owner was so kind and welcoming. The rooms are beautiful and very clean. The beds are comfortable. Breakfast is a traditional Icelandic breakfast. It was great. They also have an awesome coffee machine. If you like dogs they also have the cutest puppy. Meeting her was a highlight of our trip.
- sigita (10/5): - Nothing
- irfan (9/5): -
- Felicia (10/5): - Tout a été exceptionnel, le cadre naturel, la maisonnette, le petit-déjeuner avec des produits locaux faits maison, la gentillesse de notre hôte. Le cadre est fabuleux. Tout a été exceptionnel.
- Emanuela (7/5): - Personale accogliente e disponibile.
Colazione con dolci e marmellate di produzione propria. Un po’ Troppo caro per i servizi offerti. Il termosifone in bagno non scalda tantissimo.
Asciugacapelli non in camera ma su richiesta in reception.
No tv in camera.
- Kaitlyn (10/5): - Loved the separate cabins and views. The host was exceptional as was the homemade skyr! Very quiet and peaceful location.
- Henrike (9/5): Gemütliche und saubere Unterkunft mit tollem Frühstück - Wir waren nun zum dritten Mal dort und waren wieder absolut begeistert. Das Cottage war wieder super sauber, sehr großzügig und gemütlich. Das Frühstück ist einfach traumhaft vor allem der Skyr. Die Preissteigerung der letzten Jahre ist wirklich gewaltig
- Todd (10/5): Would stay here again! - Received a warm welcome from the owner. Very nice stand alone units. Good views. Delicious breakfast!
- Virginie (10/5): Séjour fantastique sur la route des fjords de l’Est - Une vraie chambre d’hôtes en Islande ! Accueil très sympathique de la famille qui a créé l’établissement. Très belle chambre, très confortable. Superbe vue. Petit déjeuner exceptionnel avec des produits frais, locaux et fait maison. Le meilleur hébergement et petit déjeuner de notre séjour en Islande ! N’être pas restés assez longtemps pour mieux profiter de cet endroit fantastique !
- Oliver (10/5): - Alles-vor allem das Frühstück. Aber insgesamt einfach perfekt!
- Frances (10/5): - Lovely stay! Excellent breakfast and overall hospitality.
- Per Ove (10/5): - Fantastic place, fantastic people, fantastic bungalows, totally unbelievably delicious skyr, peace and quiet. Perfect! Almost, but only almost worth the luxury hotel price level. But I will for sure return anyway!!!
- Nancy (10/5): - Nice and quiet, out in the countryside. Separate little bungalows with beds and showers. No TV but there is at the main building. Breakfast was great, everything was homemade.
Enjoyed our stay! Hi to Magic for me 🐾🐾🐾
- Karl (10/5): Frábært - Frábærar móttökur og Allt svo hreint og fínt og morgunverður himneskur og kósý gisting og kyrrðin þarna og umhverfi fegurð í allar áttir.
- Vincent (9/5): -
- Linus Tschanun (10/5): -
- Stefania (10/5): ASSOLUTAMENTE IL MEGLIO - Tutto .. posto incantevole .. cibo sublime e padrona di casa molto attenta e cordiale e’ stato veramente un peccato andare via Nulla
- Matteo (9/5): -
- Daniel (10/5): - Very friendly, helpful and accommodating hosts. We appreciated the warm welcome when we arrived late after a long day of hiking. The rooms were very comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed relaxing on the back deck and enjoying the peaceful view at the end of our day. The breakfast buffet was bountiful and we appreciated the hosts sharing the information about the local delicacies. The baked goods were delicious, and the skyr was the best in Iceland! And Magic’s puppy kisses were an added bonus!!
- Yuan Hang (10/5): -
- Thomas (10/5): Top! Sehr freundliche Gastgeber und sehr sauber mit tollem Frühstück. - Alles wunderbar. Ruhige Lage, tolles Frühstück und nette Gastgeber. Super! Es hat ein Fön gefehlt.

- 林 (8/5): -
- Sigfússon (10/5): -
- velia (10/5): Stupendo - Casette immerse nel verde e nella tranquillità.
Ogni casetta è moderna e di design con tanta privacy.
Cena e colazione fantastiche! Prodotti fatti in casa a km 0. Tutto curato nei minimi dettagli! Nulla, è stato tutto perfetto.
- Stephen (10/5): - Beautiful, quiet area right on the Ring Road. Great breakfast. Terrific owners.
- Agnes (10/5): - Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück ist sensationell mit lauter selbstgemachten Sachen. Herzlichen Dank 😊 Agnes und Bruno aus Österreich
- Marcin (10/5): -
- dlaurettaagius91 (10/5): -
- Riley (10/5): - This was our favorite stay of our trip so far. My family rented 3 of the guest houses which were clean, beautiful and very comfortable. The views from the property were amazing. Best of all the family that runs the guest house is welcoming and informative. The breakfast they serve was so good. I could take an entire container home of the skyr yogurt! I would stay again.
- Richard (10/5): - Hrafnavellir Guest House was one of the highlights of my trip! Great location - isolated enough for a quiet retreat yet accessible to what Iceland’s South Coast has to offer. The breakfast was specially prepared with traditional Icelandic items. I stayed for the traditional dinner too and encourage you to do the same! The owners are charming and very helpful. 10 stars!
- MIQUEL (10/5): Myu agradable - La tranquilidad, limpieza y trato con los propietarios Nada
- LETO (10/5): Excellent - Excellent guest house
Unrestricted view, clean smart room with necessary facilities
Superb home made breakfast
- Gary (10/5): A special find, great views, well-designed, friendly staff. A very comfortable place to stay - This was a surprising gem - it didn't look like it at first - and we later regretted we couldn't stay a bit longer.

- Ramon (9/5): Für einen kurzes Aufenthalt ist dieses Guesthouse Top! - Sehr schönes Guest House, Ruhig, das Morgenessen war super und auch die Familie mega freundlich. Gratis Kaffee / Tee / Warme Schokolade denn ganzen Tag. Die Lage, für Restaurant / Bars oder Wanderungen muss mann nach Höfn mit dem Auto.
- Barbara McInish (10/5): - Very nice property and good breakfast. Too expensive, especially for such a late check in. 5 pm check in is ridiculous.
- Sara (10/5): Meraviglioso - La location è incantevole, immersa nel nulla più assoluto. La proprietaria è fantastica, dolce e super disponibile. La colazione che offrono al mattino eccellente, prodotti di qualità ma tutti fatti in casa. Non mi è piaciuto per niente dover andar via
- Miranda (9/5): -
- Rajiv (10/5): Simply delightful, cute and new! Superb breakfast. Very caring hostess. - Totally surprised by this lovely property. Each room had a theme and everything was new. The breakfast spread was extensive and beautifully laid out. Lots of homemade delights - best yougurt in iceland! Appreciated the coffee machine which was available for us use during the evening too. The owner/hostess took great care to explain everything. A bit pricey but well worth it. It was our most memorable accommodation of the 7 we stayed in during our trip. Nothing.
- Sebastian (10/5): Parfait ! - Lieu isolé à côté des montagnes spectaculaire.
Petit dej avec des produits locaux, juste parfait et cela change !! Rien
- MARY (10/5): Fantastic Food - Breakfast was so delicious with many traditional Icelandic foods. It was so lavish that even one tiny bite to try everything comprised a filling breakfast. The wifi was a bit tricky, and the host quickly fixed that.
- Alexander (10/5): - Our favorite hotel in Iceland run by the friendliest family
- Maurits (10/5): Absolutely recommend to stay here for exceptional comfort & breakfast - The hosts were exceptionally friendly and accomodating, the beds the modt comfortable ones of our entire stay on Iceland and the breakfast a phenomenal choice of home made and traditional dishes.
- CARMEN (8/5): En medio de la nada - Nos sorprendió el lugar, en medio de la nada. La persona que nos recibió fue encantadora. A la hora del desayuno, de una calidad excelente, aunque un poco escaso, nos explicó los ingredientes yestuvo muy pendiente de nosotros. El alojamiento es una cabaña con una habitacón y baño bien amueblada. Es un lugar de paso, en medio de la carretera N1 alejado de todo. Alojamiento muy caro.
- Jeffery (10/5): - Awesome, quiet place outside Hofn
- Achim (10/5): -
- Callum (9/5): -
- N. Arora (5/5): This stay was supposed to be the highlight of our trip, but it wasn't! - - Great location (middle of nowhere), the views were excellent.
- clean and well appointed rooms, with some questionable decisions (described in the next section)
- peaceful and silent standalone cabins with no disturbances.
- the coffee and breakfast were excellent, kudos!
- good quality toiletries provided. after the long trip we reached around 6.30pm and requested the person at the check-in desk to please allow us to use their kitchen microwave (because the room does not have one) to heat up our dietary specific leftovers from the day before that would otherwise go bad and we'll have to throw and waste very expensive food. The person denied saying that "we have a microwave but we don't allow use by guests as we serve our own dinner", to which I asked if they served meals specific to our dietary needs to which they replied "I don't even know what that means, but the best hotels in the world won't allow you to use that". Talking about the best hotels in the world even the four seasons allows you to have a microwave but they wouldn't budge.
We rushed out to the nearest grocery store Netto (25 kms) as they had a microwave free for public use and they close at 7 pm. We finally made it seconds before they closed and were able to warm up our food enough, we grabbed more food on our way back.
But it's insane that they had a microwave 25 feet away from us but won't allow us to use it, they were ok if we had to drive 25 kms one-way just because they can.
After this ordeal of figuring out dinner, we finally settled into the room. Some minor inconveniences were the toilet-roll was not mounted, just placed there. The LAN port on the desk was non-functional. And when we finally got to bed, that's when I bumped my head pretty hard on the insanely placed book reading lamps. Those are unsafe and I'm not even sure if those are allowed to be placed this way. I'm really grateful I didn't break skin, because the material is actually rusted, like actual iron-oxide rust, would've needed tetanus shots otherwise.
Based on the other reviews I read before booking I had totally different expectations than what I experienced. It was not really pleasant.
