Very quaint and QUIET seaport town.
Very quaint and QUIET seaport town. A lot of the restaurants and bars were closed during my stay but was able to go to 1 of them which was lovely. It's a very far east part of Iceland I recommend going to, even if it is for 1 night.

Gem! This was worth the extra drive to visit. Honestly it was my favorite part of Iceland. Rugged beauty without the long line of tourist buses to contend with. Stokksnes Beach is a hidden gem at sunrise!

The Berjaya in Höfn is in a wonderful position with the harbour on one side and a view out across the water to the glaciers and the west on the other. It is also easy walking distance to all the local bars and restaurants.

Hofn is a lovely town in SE Iceland.
Hofn is a lovely town in SE Iceland. It has numerous, easy walking paths thru town and around their waterfront including a golf course with views that I think rival those of the finest courses in the world. Not a golfer, but if I were, this is a place I would want to play. It was spectacular. The views of the glacier were outstanding. There were several good restaurants, lobster is a local specialty. There are nature and art trails along the waterfront and a number of good historical exhibits. Wished we could have spent more time here. It felt like a vibrant, fully functioning community that I would have liked to explore more.

it was one of the most expensive stay on our 12 days trips.
it was one of the most expensive stay on our 12 days trips. The room did not match the pricing.
There were not microwave nor toaster nor any other means to warm up any food. Only one working chair in the room.
It was clean, but not worth the price.

Unlike tourist traps in the USA, Hofn is a marine village built to accommodate itself throughout the seasons. It's a place to relax, take in the fresh air, and chill. Its natural beauty is more than enough.
Its in good location, right next to the petrol station and tiny shop. Bathroom was nice. Room was clean and had a kettle with some tea/coffee/sugar. It was one of the cheapest places we found in entire Iceland, and Hofn is well known for being super expensive, so its decent for Icelandic prices. Normally I would rate this place lower but it is a budget-friendly accommodation so you can't expect 5* treatment. If you want just a place to stay for a night and leave straight away, I think you'll be happy
Located on a farm in southern Iceland, Guesthouse Nypugardar was a wonderful place to stop while driving the ring road. The hosts were very nice and the food was fantastic. We had dinner just after we arrived and breakfast the next morning. It was some of the best food we had in Iceland. There are some amazing views from the property of the surrounding farms and the glacier capped mountains. It was located away from the highway so it was very quiet. We would definitely return.
Seljavellir Guesthouse has the best value for money we encountered in Iceland. Considering the price we paid, the room was HUGE, had a great shower/toilet room and the bed was very large and comfortable.
The view was AMAZING, as the room has glass windows and a glass door, letting us see parts of the Vatnajökull glacier straight from bed.
Check in was silky smooth as our key was simply waiting for us in the lobby, and communicating with the host was very easy over the phone.
Overall room was comfy and met our needs for a 1 night stay, small family of 3 (kid is 4). Tv worked well and had a mix of channels for the night and the location was nice and easy access to local stores in the small town.
We paid for the breakfast which was standard summer buffet so a little costly on top of the room price but normal for most of the places in Iceland, especially during tourist season - cost was about 22$USD pp although kids were free.
Location of the cafe is a little bit remote which is not unusul for Iceland. There is a black sand beach nearby and a former filming set where you would need to pay an entrance fee at the hotel. This fee is included in the overnight price.
It is really calm, as there is no other building close by and one is in the middle of nature. Breakfast was great with local products and waffles especially made for me.
We ended our month in Iceland at this apartment in western Reykjavik. Parking was easy on the street. The apartment was quite large which was perfect for doing our final repack after 4 1/2 months of travel. Kitchen was well appointed. Nice to have a washer so our clothes were clean going home. The apartment was very clean. Bathroom was a good size with steady hot water and good water pressure.
Absolutely stunning location, I can’t emphasise this enough. We were lucky enough to experience some of the aurora borealis just a short drive from the guesthouse. The rooms are very clean and warm in the winter, and the breakfast included in the price is a real plus and, from our experience, this is quite rare in Iceland. Probably the most memorable accommodation from our whole trip.
The place is cozy, clean, and in walking distance from everywhere! Fun to see the harbor from our window too! We recommend Viking Cafe for breakfast and Z Bistro had THE BEST LOBSTER EVER! There’s a full kitchen for anyone eating in. These are the best shared bathrooms (and honestly better than our private bathroom at one stay) in all of Iceland!
One of the best accommodations during our 2 week tour across Iceland. Everything about this cabin was well thought out by the owner. The location has a great view and there are a few benches in choice locations on the property to sit, relax and take it all in. Would love to stay here again in the future!
An amazing and special stay. The character of this guesthouse and the location were really memorable and allowed us to immerse ourselves in Icelandic culture. The rooms very cosy and even had a smart TV extension to watch netflix. Warm and new. Breakfast was great!
Out of the way location, but gorgeous scenery. A stay here includes one of the best breakfasts we had in Iceland. Also included is a visit to the Viking village prop set and around an old army base with huge crashing waves and incredible mountain views!
Clean hotel. Breakfast was good standard Iceland fare: eggs, yogurt, bread, fruit, meats...ect. pretty setting with trees. Very rural with not much around, but we only stayed one night and didn't get a chance to find anywhere to eat nearby or do much.
The shared kitchen and dining area was well equipped, the beds comfortable and the bathrooms and showers clean. The check-in process was well communicated and the location easy to find. A good overnight stop whilst exploring Iceland.
It is a guesthouse in the countryside and one doesn't expect much of it, but it was a bit isolated and far from everything. A good station on the road to more interesting places in Iceland.
The staff person Anastasia was super helpful and fun to talk to. I really enjoyed this hostel. I was in Iceland for a week and stayed at 3 hostels. The Hofn hostel was the most friendly.
we booked it the very last minute, the owner showed up very quickly
it’s the coziest guesthouse we stayed at during our travel in Iceland, the view is also beautiful
Inga was a terrific host and shared a great deal of information about Iceland and the farm with us. The rooms were great and the breakfast was excellent.
