    The faucet in shower was stuck and had to use force to turn it. Even then the water was really hot.

    Lovely hotel surrounded by mountains. Hot tubs are not the newest but the view makes up for it. One of the most comfortable beds I slept in while in Iceland. Breakfast had tasty waffles.

    Wish there had been food available on sight.

    The location just off the ring road as well as within viewing of the glacier was surreal.

    Amazing views from the Guesthouse, we could see the glacier and also some horses. The staff were amazing! We were welcomed by smiles and the smell of fresh baked cookies. I had a fall during my trip and the girls were amazing, trying to help anyway they could. Shoutout to Zuzana and Kamila, thank you for your sweetness and all your help.

    Great service and breakfast! The rooms were clean and very comfortable. But the best part is the location as it is located right next to a glacier that you can visit with a 4x4 vehicle.

    Absolutely fantastic stay - From someone working in the industry

    Someone needs to fix the front door, when entering the main building, as it is hard to close (building, where 208 is).

    This is a small guesthouse, close to the glaciers, in a quiet area. I work in the hospitality industry and I must say that I was extremely pleasantly surprised by my stay. The room is cosy and warm, clean and with a great shower. If you are looking for a place close to Höfn but also Jökulsárlón, then this is the perfect place for you. You are in the middle of both places and the prices are much more reasonable than in either of the other places. I cannot recommend this place enough! It is a fantastic guesthouse that has all bases covered & the perfect price-value-ratio! But please do not come here and expect a 5 star hotel - it is not.

    It is in a isolated location so if the hotel restaurant is closed you need to visit the near by town for dinner.

    The location is perfect , good breakfast. Clean tidy rooms with gorgeous view of the nearby glacier. Perfect place to see northern lights. We saw northern lights from the room itself. Bed was comfortable and room was soundproof. In the cost included you can enjoy the hot tubs as well

    I mean, it’s out in the countryside on a farm, so we get that there are bugs. We had cluster flies (house flies) crawling on us in the night, so that was unpleasant.

    The cabin itself was beautiful, in a great location for seeing dark skies. We didn’t use the hot tub or sauna bc we arrived so late. Would have been fun.

    The room was slightly echoey (not much they can do about that lol) Breakfast was yoghurt, toast, waffles, cereal, meats, cheese and fruit. It was nice but it seemed a bit boring and maybe sparse as it was laid out across a big room. I’m not sure just something missing. To be fair tho the hotel we had been at before had disappointing rooms but brekkie was fab with hot options & cake 😁

    Lovely bedroom with kettle & tv. Lovely bathroom. Over looked the farm with the horses and was close to diamond beach and glacier cave tours. Staff friendly. Good big car park.

    Outward opening doors are problematic when a lot of wet snow falls overnight

    Beautiful location which felt remote but wasn't. Breakfast was good und the included hot tubs were amazing as well. All that for a considerably cheaper price than comparable places.

    The hot tubs are relly worn out, being just fish tanks in ground with laminate peeling off. However with the wonderful view you get satisfied. It is also a 2 minutes drive from the guesthouse, but if you are not worried about driving in a batrobe, then it is fine

    Hoffell Guesthouse is located in very wonderful area with views to glaciers. Rooms are simple but looking good, so is the bathroom. Very good breakfast. Free access to the hot tubs that are located nearby.

    Reception hours should be longer (8-9.30am-only open while breakfast is served) and it wasn't clear how to check in when we arrived. The nearest food establishments are 30 minute drive away in Höfn, so we had planned to do some self-catering- unfortunately we were not permitted to use the kitchen facilities, both in and out of reception opening hours.

    Amazing location, spacious rooms, spotless bathroom. Very good breakfast buffet. The on site hot tubs are a great bonus.
