Guest Reviews

Christine (10/5): - Everything is so beautifully decorated. The spa was lovely.
Mark (10/5): - We loved everything about this hotel in the charming countryside backed by mountains with views of Icelandic horses and the distant sea in front. The food at the restaurant was some of the best that we experienced in our weeklong stay in Iceland. The breakfast was complimentary with many options to choose from. Plenty of activities offered by the property including horseback riding with wonderful views from the mountaintop. The staff were extremely kind/courteous.
Michael J (10/5): - The staff was fabulous. Friendly, helpful and the vibe was more like a visit with friends than a hotel. We rode horses a first for both of us and the guides and stable folks were terrific. Location is good for site seeing in the Vik area. The rooms were comfortable. 10/10.
Joanne (10/5): - Beautiful setting, clean straight-forward design. Horses! Fly-fishing! Super nice staff.
Neil (8/5): - Nice hotel but on the expensive side.
Deborah (10/5): - This small Inn was located in a lovely setting with a great view of the Westman Islands. The staff were so gracious and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were fantastic - especially the mussels and the bread! The spa with hot tub and sauna were terrific. A great experience for the equestrians with trail rides available! A very special place indeed. Deborah
Sean (10/5): - My wife and I had an excellent one night stay at Skalakot Manor Hotel as part of our 12 day tour of Iceland. The hotel was great, our room was really nice and the spa was fantastic! Staff and breakfast were great too. We did a one hour horse riding tour on the morning we check out which was delightful - would highly recommend it! Daria was our guide and she was great!
Richard (10/5): - Charming boutique hotel with wonderful views, food, service and horses too. The restaurant for dinner is a treat and the full buffet breakfast fuels you for a day of glaciers, waterfalls and volcanic beaches:)
Susan (10/5): - Fabulous inn and location, great staff, excellent food and service. On site spa was a bonus! Highly recommend staying here, just wish we had longer.
Gloria (8/5): - Very peaceful surroundings
Carrie (10/5): - Highly recommend this hotel. The rooms are wonderful and the food in the restaurant is incredibly delicious. The option to go horse riding on the property is a great addition and so much fun. Great place to stop when driving back to Reykjavik from Diamond Beach.
Alex (10/5): Charming hotel in beautiful surroundings - We have a lovely one night stay at Skalakot. It’s very charming, simple hotel in beautiful surroundings. The bed was comfy and the shower was good. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The spa was small but nice, gets quite cramped if there are more than 4 people in there. I think it would benefit from an outdoor hot tub. Dinner was nice, breakfast was ok.
Leigh (10/5): Amazing. - We loved our stay here. It was perfect. The staff (esp Michael and Alina) were so nice and helpful. We would definitely stay there again. The spa was divine. The food was great. Service was impeccable.
saba (10/5): - Friendly and kind staff. Amazing food
Daniel (10/5): - We loved the cozy vibes combined with an excellent service and homely atmosphere, where even the owner himself wishes you a Merry Christmas. The dinner at the restaurant was absolutely anmazing and we really enjoyed the fireplace afterwards. We can warmly recommend staying at Skalakot and will definitely come back ourselves!
Jannik (10/5): - Das sauberste Hotelzimmer, dass ich je betreten habe. Super Hilfsbereites Personal Das Frühstück sowie das Abendessen waren auf ganz hohem Niveau. Wir kommen auf jedenfalls wieder.
Tomye (6/5): - The chef was incredible. The food was amazing and exceptional. The bar had unique and delicious cocktails, as well as an acceptable wine list. However, the property is very isolated and has very few amenities. The experience will be weather dependent. If bad weather, you are in remote area and feel stuck with very little to do. Local tour companies do not pick up at property and you must drive to their base camp, we found it scary and a little dangerous driving back to property at night. I must empathize, the staff could not be more kind and accommodating with what they have to work with, so a very nice group of people.
Cheryl (10/5): - Adorable Inn, great location between Glacier Bay and Reykjavik near the Black Sand Beach. We stayed two nights. I rode the one hour ride to Irafoss while my husband hiked the gorgeous countryside. Very mountainous and multiple trail options. I wish I had chosen the longer ride as the ponies famous gait, the Tölt, is as smooth as silk and their horses were fabulous. Skálakot Manor is in a cute little valley with sheep, a couple houses and a church. Friendly place with lovely amenities. Great spa area with glass sliders that open up to view of the valley. I also got a great massage while there. Loved the food and at the end of the day they light a little fire upstairs in the sitting area. Heads up-don’t get the smallest room like we did. It is tiny w a minuscule bathroom.
Jessica (10/5): - This was our second trip to Iceland, this time without the kids. Skalakot Manor was fabulous! The breakfast was to die for, and the dinners were equally exquisite. Laid back and very restful! The sauna and hot tub were welcoming every afternoon once the sun was setting before dinner. We got to see the northern lights one night immediately outside our door. Couldn’t have been a better place to celebrate our anniversary. We are already planning our return trip!
Emily (10/5): - Stunning property with staff that goes above and beyond to give you the full boutique hotel experience! The location is great, close to many locations along the south coast. The restaurant on site was excellent, breakfast included had a great variety, we enjoyed everything we ate here for 2 nights! We had onsite massages that the staff pre-arranged for us before we arrived and enjoyed the onsite spa. One of the top hotels I have stayed at. I would recommend to anyone coming to Iceland. We were able to see the northern lights a short drive away from the hotel
Taylor (10/5): - Absolutely fantastic experience staying at Skálakot. Outstandingly friendly staff, Michelin level food, luxurious accommodations with a highly personal touch. Incredibly close to lots of famously draw dropping views and attractions
Verified traveler (10/5): - Excelente muy recomiendable
Abdullah (10/5): - Our stay at the horse farm was peaceful and magical, with a delicious and plentiful breakfast. We had a wonderful night.
Alison (10/5): - Firstly, I want to say, I LOVED staying here. The only negative point to the suite is that the shower is extremely small and has a shower curtain so it something is touching you, for me that is very uncomfortable. Is it a deal breaker - no, but I would not stay unless the balcony suite with the tub is available next time. Dinner was wonderful, and breakfast was nice although I only had fruits, coffee, and mini croissant. Staff are friendly and helpful. I want to say his name was Michael - have him make you an espresso martini his are perfect.
Anna (10/5): Cozy, luxurious, and adventurous stay near Vik :) - Incredibly relaxing stay! We stayed here instead of busy Vik. It was near many things. We rode horses to the waterfall. We hiked around the area. We saw the aurora! The meals were delicious and the staff were so very friendly. The rooms and hotel have stylish and cozy decor. Thank you for a lovely stay!
GIana (10/5): - We loved it so much! We will absolutely be back thank you for everything!
david (10/5): - Skalakot is like an old world hotel. Gracious staff and beautiful accommodations. Best food we had during our 11 days in Iceland. Loved the horses there! A very special place!
Marousa (10/5): - We had a charming room. The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed our stay.
Carolyn (10/5): - Gorgeous property, very comfortable rooms, and excellent service! The spa was amazing. Can't wait to go back!
Tracy (10/5): - The horse rentals were amazing
Sarah (10/5): - We loved our stay at Skalakot Manor Hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly (exceeding expectations!). I loved the views from the front of the hotel. It was very easy to access from the main road. The food was very good. The only disappointment was that we didn't realize you had to pay separately to use the hot tub pictured in the listing. We only had a short time there, so opted not to pay for it, but that was a bummer. The shower in our room was excellent though!
Rex (10/5): Wonderful base for this part of Iceland - A great base for exploring south (southwestern) Iceland! Superb staff - friendly and professional - made the visit memorable beyond the spectacular landscape of Iceland. Food was excellent - occasionally a bit heavy but some dishes were extraordinary - the tomato consommé and the saffron risotto with pork cheeks
Laurie (10/5): - This hotel is amazing. Very charming, clean, and the views are breathtaking. The food and service were also the best.
Kirsten (10/5): Quaint and Classy - Immediately at check in we were greeted with warmth and helpfulness. He took time to give us a tour of the property and amenities while someone else brought our bags up to the room. Our room on the third dloor was beautiful with a balcony that overlooked the farm.
Dana (10/5): The most luxurious stay - We had an excellent stay at Skalakot and wished we could have stayed longer. The property is so beautiful and our room was very spacious. We also really enjoyed the fireplace lounge after dinner. The spa was worth the extra fee and a very relaxing experience. Dinner was so delicious and relaxing as well. We were part of a larger group and that didn’t impact the quality of our meal. Our breakfast was also delicious and the staff even accommodated an early departure with to go boxes and coffee. They truly took the time and effort to make sure every bit of our stay was taken care of, even for just one night. If we ever return to Iceland, I would make it a point to spend more time at Skalakot for some rest and relaxation.
Katelyn (10/5): - Thank you so much for a wonderful stay - service and food were delightful!
Bryan (10/5): - I have traveled extensively over the past 20 years, and Skalakot is easily one of my favorite and most memorable hotels. Skalakot hotel is nestled between a beautiful view of the ocean horizon and a backdrop of awe inspiring mountains whilst also sitting in a tiny town and on a small farm-like property with Icelandic horses. Then, the inside of the hotel is soaked in charm and coziness. The finishes are on point, and the bedroom view was perfect. Next, the dining lived up to the hype, in particular the chowder and goulash. Furthermore, although we did not opt to use it, the spa looked really nice and very tempting. Lastly, the personnel were so nice and kind. I'm so grateful I ended up staying here.
Viktoriia (10/5): - Absolutely amazing food! We want to hire their chef for our wedding that how good it was. Hotel it’s clean and safe, quite, great spacious rooms. We had a suite that had a bathtub in the middle , really great room worth every penny Thank you
Tina (10/5): - Unique property. Horses everywhere! We saw the northern lights right off the balcony
denise (10/5): - Loved everything about our stay!
Jessica (10/5): - Such a beautiful spot to stay! It’s very close to so many of the sight seeing spots in south Iceland. The staff are extremely kind and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Everything is decorated beautifully. My 7 year old son loved playing with the dogs (his favorite part of our trip) and seeing the horses. We will definitely come back!
fares (10/5): - Love property; great food options and service. Peaceful and beautiful location. Would highly recommend.
Layla (10/5): - Amazing B&B! Rooms were big and comfortable, the property grounds were dreamy & the staff was nothing short then amazing.
Ariane (10/5): Wonderful - This is the only place we saw northern lights. They have a huge field in front, making it very dark, and we stood out there with the guests and conversed. The food was excellent, and it is a quaint, small town feel. We went ATV riding right in the area, and it was a wonderful stay.
rebecca (10/5): - The manor is very well decorated and the service was great. Bed was comfy and we loved the view from our room. Only confusing thing was old light switches but hey it adds charm.
Ayanah (10/5): - Luxury manor with great food and Wes Anderson vibes. Located close to Vik and other southern Iceland attractions it’s the perfect place to stay for solo travelers and families. The breakfast was amazing.
Paul (10/5): - Of all the hotels we stayed at in Iceland this one was exceptional in so many ways. Food and service was off the charts great.
Sarah (10/5): - Stunning property with an upscale modern farmhouse vibe. Good food and comfortable beds. Beautiful horses that you can ride. Highly recommend this hotel. Great location! Everything you could want in a cool farmhouse hotel.
Meredith (10/5): - I spent 3 days at Skalakot during a solo vacation to Iceland and could not have made a better choice. The warm hospitality, immaculate accommodations, outrageously delicious food, and scope of onsite activities helped turned my vacation into the adventure of a lifetime. During my stay I hiked the breathtaking canyon behind the hotel, rode horseback across the black sand beach with the help of one of Skalaot's sweet, patient, and thoroughly professional guides, and dined nightly on world-class fare prepared from farm-grown ingredients. The breakfast is worth mentioning as well - fresh baked goods, farm eggs made to order, juice, coffee, and fruit. The hotel, a destination in its own right, also served as a perfect base from which to explore all that the South Coast has to offer. The famous waterfalls, black beaches of Vik, and many other sites are a short drive from Skalakot. My single room was tastefully decorated and very, very comfortable. I slept like a baby every night, and every morning walked out onto the balcony to take in a gorgeous view of the mountainside onto which the property is situated. The bathroom was appointed with high end toiletries, fluffy towels and a comfy robe. The shower was amazing - great pressure and plenty of hot water. Just what I needed after long days of hiking, riding, and exploring. It was a fairytale of a vacation. Can't recommend Skalakot enough. I'll never forget my time there and can't wait to go back!
wendy (10/5): - The attention to detail, the food the intimacy, the location were all perfect.
Tim (10/5): - The manor is beautiful! I’m not sure photos can truly do it justice. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Great location for all south Iceland activities. 15 mins from ATV, glacier walk, glacier snowmobiling. 40 mins from Vik & black sand beach. Drive is so easy and beautiful feels like no time at all. The free breakfast is perfect served between 8-10am. Fruit, coffee, eggs, cereal, yogurt bar. We also left very full. Dinner was delicious. Came with fresh made bread & the best garlic hummus I’ve ever had as a free app. Recommend the Caesar salad and salmon.
Martyn (10/5): Something different! - Really good stay in this hotel for one night while visiting south of the island.dinner and breakfast were excellent and the staff so friendly and helpful.we loved our room and balcony in the front of the hotel with views over the fields.the hotel dog was a big hit with the kids.if we had been staying longer we would have gone pony trekking and fishing as we saw other guests doing
Verified traveler (10/5): - Wonderful lodge type location in the mountains. Breakfast and dinner were amazing and staff were so helpful and friendly. A great base to explore from and activities can be booked
Michael Immanuel (10/5): Great place! - Amazing place, friendly staff, and very well decorated rooms. Highly recommendable!
Martine (10/5): perfection - Super cute, nicely decorated, comfortable, cozy, clean, nice breakfast, great tea selection in the rooms, great staff.
Verified traveler (10/5): Fantastic. - Beautiful hotel surrounded by stunning feats of nature. Everything in Iceland is mind-blowing; Skálakot was a peaceful, serene refuge at the end of a long day. Clean and new but imbued with history. All of the staff were amazingly helpful and they were able to accommodate vegan breakfast options. We stayed four nights and used this as a base to explore the area. Definitely go for the hike behind the Manor for awesome scenery and a rewarding challenge (but don't rely on the trail makers to get you where you need to go!).
Verified traveler (10/5): Great stay, already want to go back. - Excellent hotel in a very beautiful part of Iceland. Nearest grocery stores/restaurants are about 20-30 minutes away, but the hotel serves incredible food and will be a home away from home.
George (10/5): - This stay was incredible! It was our first night in Iceland. We stayed in one of the upgraded rooms and it was well worth it. The. Holding itself is beautiful but the room itself was breathtaking. I wish we had stayed longer! The bed was amazing, and the tub was extraordinary! It was nearly 3 ft deep and at least 6 ft long! It was like having half of a hot tub in our bathroom! I would definitely go back!
Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location, really beautiful, people were incredibly welcoming, room was awesome.
Jeff (10/5): Stunning Property and BEST Icelandic Hospitality! - What a place! Skalakot is all kinds of beautiful. The attention to detail makes this spot an amazing place to stay. Icelandic Hospitality at its best - thanks to Vidal, Maxim, Christine and Isabelle. I strongly recommend you eat dinner here and also take the horseback riding if you like that sort of thing - we did the 2 hour tour and it was AMAZING! By far the best place we stayed in Iceland!
