    Skogafoss is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world, impressively large, and if there is even a little bit of sunshine, there will be a rain bow in front of the falls. The town of Skogar includes a noteworthy folk history museum.

    Great place to stop at while driving to Vik!

    Great place to stop at while driving to Vik! There are many things to see and do and endless hiking paths to follow. A few waterfalls around including Kvernufoss, which was amazingly hidden, but very near the Skogar Museum. The museum offers a variety of exhibits on history of the area ( outside part including turf houses), but also technical part - really amazing and great thing to do when the weather is not promising. We stayed at hotel Skogafoss and we had a real blast there! Highly recommended due to facilities and service alike. There is a Eyjafjallajökull visitor centre, right below the volcano- unfortunately closed during winter season. We drove and walked to Seljavallalaug hot spring natural pool, where you can swim, however water is quite cold. The surroundings is beautiful though. Further south you can drive towards Dyrhólaey and Reynisfjara/Black beach. We loved Skogar area very much and had amazing time at different spots around.

    The hotel is located very close from the waterfall. The waterfall is spectacular! I recommend to go all the way up the stairs and walk around the trail and enjoy the marvelous view. It is a quiet and small town with very friendly people 😀

    The waterfall is the highlight, and if you have time, you should walk a bit further on the trail above it. It’s a beautiful hike. The folk museum is amazing, sounds corny, but it’s really good. It has an excellent cafe too. Area is close to Vik and the black sand beaches. The bistro at hotel Skogafoss is consistent and the food is good and reasonably priced for Iceland. Sadly the ‘secret’ waterfall now has a highway trodden too it and lots of erosion on site as people have climbed all over the grass outposts and killed all the vegetation.

    Located under the dramatic waterfall, near the Skogar Museum, and only about 10-20 miles from the beaches at Vik, Hotel Skoga is clean, efficient and well located. The morning staff are polite, hospitable, and helpful. They speak English fluently as well as Polish and maybe other languages. The breakfast was plentiful, the hot tub clean and a sauna is available. The hotel check-ibis self service and easy to use. The hot coffee/water dispenser is marvelous, too! We loved our stay.

    Hotels in Iceland are limited but we are glad we decided to stay in this tiny town. The true drawcard here is the location literally right next door to the Skogafoss waterfall, you can just wander over and be at the waterfall in two minutes after breakfast. We visited it twice in the one day we were here, because we could. Also highly recommend the Kvernufoss walk and waterfall in the same time!

    Self-check in easy and straightforward. Staff were very nice and super apologetic about our first room being dirty (see below). The bed in our second room we were given was very comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and had a really big variety of foods to eat, staff were on top of replenishing food that had run out. Location was great, a 2min drive from Skogafoss.

    There is a lot good to be said about Umi. The biggest is the location and view. If you are planning a trip east or west, it is a great destination after a gold circle day or when you come from the glacier lagoon, before you embark on the golden circle. Views are great; the dinner restaurant serves excellent food and the breakfast is sumptuous for a great start into the day.

    Our room was not so big but clean. Also, at that moment we seems to be the only guests and the staff proposed to bring special breakfast for us or have it in their other hotel even closer to Skogafoss, that was super nice:) and breakfast was delicious! The most satisfying I assume is location, almost at Skogafoss waterfall!

    Perfect location for Ring Road and Skogafoss waterfall. Rather basic accommodation but it had all we needed for a nights' stop-over. A big plus was that there was a quite good restaurant so that we didn't have to go 'dinner-hunting' in the evening. Very nice green surroundings and very close to the waterfall.

    This hotel resides between the black sand beach and the sea on one side, and the waterfall mountains on the other. The light and the air are magnificent. The continental breakfast was excellent before a long hike. You should rent a car in Iceland. It is the only way.
