2/10 Terrible

"The people who are involved are good. Thats not the issue. I slept here with my daughter one night. Its winter (end of march) The small heater didnt do anything. For the area there needs to be two heaters for each person. The wind was so crazy that night i didnt sleep. I thought we were going to blow away. Honestly i was that scared and cold all night."

Sólheimahjáleiga Guesthouse

8/10 Good

"This property is well maintained and very clean. The room we had was very small, and I did not realize that we did not have a bathroom in the room just a sink. There were toilets down the hall and separate shower rooms. These were very clean and well maintained. Excellent water pressure - just be aware that you do not have a bathroom in the room. The setup is more like a very nice dormitory with a common area with a refrigerator and microwave. If that is what you are looking for, this is a very nice place but the rooms are small. The food for dinner and breakfast was fine. Parking is easy."

Hotel Skógá by EJ Hotels

6/10 Okay

"This is a 3 star hotel. I’ll start with the positives. It was very clean and house keeping came everyday. There is a coffee machine on the first floor which was convenient and a nice touch. Now the cons the building exterior is in need of repair and when you pull up to the entrance you are parking by their dumpster. The beds were the most uncomfortable beds I have ever slept in. They desperately need new mattresses. The breakfast was okay but eggs and bacon everyday for 6 days gets old quick."

Skálakot Manor hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This property was a beautiful working horse ranch/farm. The staff was 5 star! Costas & Ms Alex took care of check in, front desk, waiters at dinner, bartenders who made delicious cocktails. They went out of their way to make my stay incredible. Ms Editaw in the morning was super pleasant with breakfast, good info about the area and property. I met her husband who is one of the fine chefs. They are putting out a quality menu at night and an excellent breakfast in the morning. The property is beautiful as were the rooms. Indoor Sauna & Hot Tub made for a great way the end each day. I would absolutely stay here again! Thanks for a great stay! ROD"

Welcome Lambafell

2/10 Terrible

"This is not actually a hotel. This is a SCAM. We booked eight months in advance of our trip and of course were immediately charged. Then, a day before our trip, it occurred to us that we hadn’t been sent check in instructions. I looked in my inbox and had received only one communication from the owners with an out of service phone number and fake email address. We tried many different ways to get the contact info to check in but after reading additional reviews it became clear we would need to scramble to find alternate lodging which was very expensive. We called Expedia prior to the “check in” and they said they couldn’t get in touch with the owners either so they would give us a refund. Then I notice the next day that refund has not been issued. I call Expedia back and they tell me that the hotel says we missed our check in. I ask if they have literally any proof of that, since I have so much proof of TRYING to check in and not being able to. Expedia continues to reject my refund despite many people having the same experience as me and I have to dispute the charge with my credit card. DO NOT BOOK."
