Hengifoss

The view you get after a 2.5km hike to the falls. As a treat on the way you get fantastic views and 2 other waterfalls on the way up.

The smaller of the two waterfalls of Hengifoss.
Flanked by basalt columns formed during the intense heat & pressures of a lava flow.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (27 reviews)

Absolutely great. The pictures don’t do the property justice. Very spacious, spotless clean, totally fell in love with the floors. The sauna and tub were spectacular, got some amazing aurora views while relaxing in both. The neighborhood was great, with multiple stores like Bónus just a few minutes away. The owner was super friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

8/10 Very Good! (4 reviews)

This dome was perfect! Very clean which is the most important to me. It had all the essentials, extra blankets and the beds were comfortable. The host was super responsive and sent delivered more wood for us quickly. The town of Selfoss is 5-6 kilometers and has nice dining options. My family enjoyed our stay very much and will be coming back!
