Kim

The location is perfect and ideally located close to the glacier, easy access and yet secluded. Clean, functionable and well thought out layout. Owner is very responsive. We enjoyed the use of the terrace and the large windows to watch sunset and spot the northern lights from. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely modern hotel. We had a sea view room which was really cute and despite the weather we could still see the water. We had dinner at the hotel which was really good. Also breakfast which was pretty good for a buffet. Food not overly cheap but nothing in Iceland is. Lots of parking, check in was easy. Would recommend.

stunning, make sure you walk all the way down the trail, there are two other gorgeous waterfalls that a lot of people missed by not going all the way to end end of the trail (which is only a few hundred meters long).AAnonymous - 8.0Scored 8.0

This is an amazing place to hike and see some glorious views - especially on a clear day - which can be a bit tricky. We were extremely fortunate to have some of the the sunniest days recorded. Could not ask for a more comfortable hike. There are glacier hikes that you can pay for but honestly parking at the Park and hiking up yourself is something you will not soon forget. Not too laborious, but you defintely feel like you are exercising. Loved every minute of this hike and I wish I could have stayed longer.

Sadly we only had a day in Skaftafell and I wish we had more time to explore the national park. What we did see was stunning. Nature, hikes, glaciers and ocean all within a stones throw of each other. Well worth a longer visit than just to pass through.

- 8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 3,753 reviewsThough hotel Skaftafell is located in the middle of nowhere, its location is super-efficient for exploring the Skaftafell national park with all its glaciers. Jokulsarlon and Fjallsarlon glacial lagoons and horse-riding. The restaurant is a highlight (and pretty much the only option as there's virtually nothing nearby) - the food is quite inventive, well-cooked and flavoursome. The restaurant service is also warm, friendly and efficient.MaximSwitzerland
- 8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 3,753 reviewsThis was one of our favorite hotels during our trip to Iceland! The staff was so nice and helpful. Parking was easy. We ate an amazing dinner at their on-site restaurant, drank tea in their upstairs lounge area, and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast! We loved taking a short walking path from the hotel right to a glacier. Definitely highly recommended!
JulieUnited States - 8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 3,753 reviewsOur room was at the back of the hotel and had a magnificent view of a snow capped mountain. We went for a walk (suggested by receptionist) after checking in to the glacier at the back of the hotel. Easy path and worth doing. The room was very clean and cosy with comfortable beds. A good night’s sleep. Breakfast was a buffet and plentiful.CatherineUnited Kingdom
- 8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 3,753 reviewsThe locale is awesome. We hiked over to the Svinafellsjokull Glacier from the Hotel and thoroughly enjoyed the proximity of the Glacier and the chance to see it up close. A bonus for anyone who makes a booking at Hotel Skaftafell. In addition the various Glacier Hiking companies have their Base Camp within a few Km distance from the Hotel.KumarUnited States

AngieSingapore - 8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 3,753 reviewsRoom was very generic for the price. During our trip, we paid much less for much better accommodations. The beds were very old and soft compared to other hotels thus far. Not sure I can agree with the the Bookings.com recommendation on this one.ScottUnited States
