This was one of the highlights of our Icelandic vacation. What wonderful hosts and gorgeous property! There is a calf, many dogs, horses, a crow - a true menagerie of animals (after all, it is a farmstay). The guesthouse was just renovated and was simply stunning - very modern, clean and elegant. The food was awesome. We would TOTALLY go... More

Miserable. We stayed at the Vatnsholt Inn for a few days. We paid about 110 euros/night. We chose it based on online reviews. Major disappointment! The online photos, descriptions, and reviews were very misleading, in our opinion. The "hotel" is a long prefab shed outbuilding on the "farm," cheaply walled off into a row of mean rooms. The rooms are... More

Disastrous stay.Selfoss is a very missable place.We only came to use this place as a base fro a couple of days.Despite contacting them several times that we wanted to eat when we arrived there was no food -a party was on. They eventually and grudgingly turned up with a very cold soggy hamburger! In our opinion this was grossly dishonest... More

My husband and I traveled to Iceland for our honeymoon in early Oct. 2011. We weren't originally going to stay over night in Selfoss but once I read reviews for this place I decided to change our itinerary and I'm so happy I did!! We actually ended up staying 2 nights here in the deluxe double room. Everything about this... More

This was our first trip to Iceland and after long delayed flight we were all in need of a rest. We arrived slightly early but were warmly welcomed. The kids settled in well with the playground and the totally loveable Labrador Tinnie with his ball or lump of wood. Dinner as mentioned previously was a fixed price but what a... More

We stayed 2 nights in early September 2011. Couldn't have hoped for more. The room was small but very clean and beds comfy. When you're travelling in Iceland the last thing you want to do is spend lots of time in your room, so it's no problem. Breakfast is an extensive continental buffet complete with fresh waffles, and the 1... More

We stayed here one night after doing the "Golden Circle" tour. The farm is just outside Selfoss and is easy to find from the main highway. The room we had was located in a large charmless portable building at the end of a an unpaved parking lot. The room was clean but small and very basic. A bed, a tiny... More

Most people visiting Iceland seem to take one of two tacks: they either stay in Reykjavik and take organized tours from the capital or they traverse the ring road. Certainly both are viable options, depending on how you like to travel, but we decided instead to focus our time mostly in the south. For us (and our animal-loving kids), it... More

Our room was extremely small and the bathroom ridiculously small, but for one night it was adequate. The window had only a thin curtain and one side of the bed was up against a wall. They ask that you take off your shoes before going to your room and provide slippers to use. This is a bit unusual, but I... More
