Top Vatnajokull Hotel Reviews

Hali Country Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hidden little gem! Rooms are very clean and cozy!"

Guesthouse Gerði

6/10 Okay

"Had all the basic necessities and the room, while small, was comfortable. The WiFi was inconsistent at times. The $24 breakfast could have been much better, especially for the price. Unfortunately, there are not many other food options nearby in the morning. The museum café up the road does make good food though, and I would recommend having dinner there.."

Ekra Glacier Lagoon

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous stay, wish we were there more than one night. Saw caribou and the northern lights while we were there! Had a pretty awful, very overpriced meal at what seemed to be the only nearby restaurant right across the street, so grab food before you get this far out or do a more diligent search than we did."

Guesthouse Skálafell

10/10 Excellent

"Wow oh Wow. Sometimes a gem falls into your lap. The Guesthouse was one of them. Green fields, sparkling river, a mountain, and a WATERFALL. In late May, newborn lambs were frolicking in the fields. The host was great, breakfast was one of the best. Located conveniently to Jökulsárlón glacier. It is a simple farm stay - very reasonably priced - but a priceless experience."

Hotel Skaftafell

8/10 Good

"Breafast menu was fine, but would have like to have seen some dried fruit options as well as better toasters for bread. The rooms were nice and spacious, beds comfortable for a great night's rest, and the bathroom was a better size than most we experienced so you didn't feel like you had to turn in place to move around."
