Amazing Location
Fresh renovated rooms, at the moment, they build a new wing and an amazing breakfast/dining room, the location on vestrahorn is extraordinary, free entry when staying in the hotel

For any photographers wanting to get photos of Vestrahorn, there is no better place to stay. There have been new additions to guesthouse over the past year and the new rooms are excellent! Some even have kichenettes and washer/dryers which is great especially if on a longer trip. Access to the beach is included and you can get tickets at cafe to come and go as you please and chase the light.

Idyllic location! but the cabin was too basic, next to a construction site, and breakfast was below average. This was the most expensive night of our trip, and one of the poorest in terms of quality, but there are not many options in that area.

This was an awesome spot. Kind of out of the way and it looks like they are expanding with a bunch of construction. The room was large and comfortable and a nice breakfast as well.

Staff is so nice!
Room was amazing.
Breakfast was a delight!
The hike to go from the cafe to the Viking village (the Witcher), to the farm to the lighthouse by the beach was incredible! No hesitation if you plan to come around here.

Fantastic location with walking access to the beautiful surrounding landscape. Staff was warm and welcoming, the room was also very spacious and clean. The cafe area was under renovation, and breakfast options were limited. Overall we had a comfortable stay and great experience at this special property in Hofn.

Amazing location. Very comfortable, clean, spacious and modern room. Free admission to the area’s attractions and breakfast included made this a great choice as well. Check in was slightly confusing at first because of renovations taking place but the staff was super friendly and very helpful. Negative reviews about the staff in past reviews don’t make any sense to me… everyone working there was above and beyond friendly. Highly recommend.

Staff was friendly, even walked us to our room.
Room was clean. A good breakfast was offered. Construction being done around the property so it can be a little noisy.

This property was nestled in at the base of Vestrahorn mountain. The staff was incredibly accommodating and didn’t mind that we checked in 1 hour after “check in hours.” The rooms were clean and spacious, and the cafe was lovely for dinner and continental style breakfast. Would stay here again!

The property is undergoing a major upgrade. When done it will be spectacular. Even in its present state it is is very nice, and even if it wasn't, unlike other hotels in the area it is in the the center of such incredible natural wonders that I would stay in a dump to be here. Also the staff is the best!

Had a great stay here. Arrived late but they were great. The Viking village boat and ruins were more than we expected. We had fog, but still enjoyed the walk out to the water. Didn’t have time to do all the hikes. This is well worth the trip and would recommend whether you are staying in the guest house or camping/rving.
