Top Rutshellir Caves Hotel Reviews

Skogar Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"It is a very clean and quiet place. Close to some locations. Recommended if you are staying for two or three days. My only recommendation would be a laundry facility to make washing clothes easier, since it is a stopover hotel for travelers heading to other towns."

Hotel Skógafoss by EJ Hotels

8/10 Good

"Room not the largest we have had but adequate with comfy beds and hot drinks available. Breakfast okay. Handy to be able to leave car parked for free whilst we walked around the waterfalls on our departure day."

Sólheimahjáleiga Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Really delightful guesthouse on a farm. Rooms were nice and well appointed, the staff really friendly and professional. Breakfast and dinner were really good."

Hotel Skógá by EJ Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed the hot tub and check in was easy! Very comfortable!"

Welcome Lambafell

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel provided key code and room assignment in advance. The breakfast was a huge surprise, Bacon, potato cakes (hash brown), coffee, this was a huge positive. The only real negative, the "hot tub". We never went in because the hot tub felt warm by touch and the air pump did not work. All the needs for a place to stay, were met, and we would recommend booking."

South Iceland Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"This was in a great location for exploring Iceland. The room was very clean and loved the kitchen area to make meals. Only downside is the shared bathroom but we had no issues! Nice to talk to other people in the house but most people were out exploring majority of the day."

Guesthouse Vellir

Welcome Holiday homes
