Our room was very spacious and comfortable. We were greeted by a friendly person and made arrangements for a great dinner. The breakfast, which was included, was very good with many choices. I would definitely stay here again.

Cozy town tucked against a black sand beach with beautiful mountainous terrain and multiple viewpoints and other attractions within short driving distance. Definitely a town everyone should stop in when they are visiting Iceland.

Must try black crust pizza.
Must try black crust pizza. The lookout point at Dyrhólaey panoramic views, don't miss it and of course the Black Sand beach. To visit the crashed US plane, either we can walk for 3 hours (both ways) or take shuttle which will cost ISK3000 per person.

Vik is a picturesque gem tucked along the country's stunning south coast! Reynisfjara Beach is easily accessible, where black sand meets crashing waves with towering basalt columns as the backdrop. The wind can get too strong which makes a part of the beach dangerous (sneaker waves warning), but it is still well worth visiting. The town is charming with cozy cafes (try the black crust pizza!), the locals are warm and welcoming. This town is the perfect location to embrace the opportunity to disconnect and immerse yourself in Iceland's raw beauty.

We stayed in Vik for 3 days. Totally loved it.
We stayed in Vik for 3 days. Totally loved it. It is quite a small town, but has a big supermarket (kronan), a really great quality hiking clothes/supplies store, plus a number of cafes and places to eat. We recommend Sudur Vik Restaurant especially.
We did the Katla Track ice cave tour which was amazing and left from Vik!! Also recommend Icelandic Mountain Guides Snowmobile tour - meeting point 25 mins drive from Vik. Black Sand beach is great, as is local open air pool.
We stayed in the Vik hotel which is fabulous, but as we were there for three days, I would have preferred an apartment. The hotel also operates the Vik Apartments (which I hadn't realised before I booked) - they look really good.

We based our family of 5 in Vik to explore the southern coast over 3 nights with our rental car. We found it easier to have one base rather than a different hotel each night.
We visited the Skogafoss Waterfall, Black Sand Beach, YODA caves, gorge hike, Glacier walk at Skaftafell and then onto the Glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach.
We didn’t eat out as it was expensive for what appeared average food so we went to the local supermarket and cooked back at our self catered apartment.
Vik offers lots of adventure based companies who organise tour and expeditions.
Lovely place with a view just a 10-20-minute drive away from Vik, the Black Beach and Dyrholaey. (You should have a car (or bike), though.) Everything's clean and cosy, and the surrounding area is beautiful and peaceful. If the weather's game, the deck is also a great place to just have a coffee and enjoy the view! Rather good value for money compared to other places (in Iceland). We were sorry we had to leave after two nights! The hosts were also very helpful when we asked for an earlier check-in time, which we appreciated a lot!
I really liked the breakfast. It was very fulfilling. The pastry was so yummyyy! And the smoked salmon! Arrghh writing this made me hungry again. The room was also nice because it has ensuite bathroom. For the price, if you compare it with another country, it can be considered expensive. But if you compare it to Iceland's hotel price range, it was reasonable. Some guesthouse even have similar rate but with shared bathroom and no breakfast
Super nice hotel close enough to Vik to get to the village in less than 10 min by car, but not too close, so it was really dark at night and perfect for looking for auroras. Nice and clean, perfect room for a couple of days stay.
We could hear the people from the rooms next to us when they were on the hallway but not inside the room, so it was quiet during night.
We are going to stay again for sure when coming back to Iceland!
This was an extraordinary stylish and beautiful hostel. My daughter and I stayed in a room with 6 bunkbeds. The showers and bathrooms were spotless. There was a small bar and you could purchase coffee and baked goods for breakfast. We didn't cook but they had a great kitchen for those who prefer to carry and make their own meals. The location was excellent on the same road as one of the most famous black sand beaches in Iceland.
Located just 10min from Viki and the amazing Black Sand beach in a peace and quiet this place was absolute amazing. Little small but very cozy, and very comfortable.beds, in the kitchen we had everything we needed, fresh towels. Perfect place to stay in south of Iceland as many amazing places are to see and what's the bonus we got to see the aurora just from our balcony one night which was an unforgettable experience
The charm of the older hotel and rooms were very nice and the staff were friendly. The beds were clean and comfortable. A huge plus the restaurant next door was really wonderful the food was delicious! Also the breakfast in the hotel itself was very good and offered a great assortment of food! Our first night in Iceland did not disappoint at the hotel Puffin!
The view was incredible! Heated floors in the bathrooms were wonderful. Tastefully appointed, very comfortable beds and plenty of space for our family to spread out and enjoy the view of the sunrise and sunset. The kitchen was an added bonus as well and only a few minutes to lots of amenities in Vik. Easily the best stay of our week in Iceland!
This hotel has basically become a second home to my wife and I. The owners, staff, rooms, views and food is honestly all we need at this point when we travel to Iceland each and every year. Just good, honest and lovely people working very hard and around the clock to ensure guests have an exceptional experience.
One of the cutest places we have ever stayed. The host treated us like family members. The house itself is located near the most famous beach of the Iceland,you can get there by foot. And after driving 2 hours around the Vik to see the Northern lights,we saw them in front of the house,when we came back.
The hotel is very modern and easily accessible. We really enjoyed our room, we could see the beach from our bedroom window. We loved the breakfast, by far one of the best we had in Iceland, lots of choice. The hotel is very close to a great place called the soup company, we recommend it !
very pastoral, surrounded by farm animals and beautiful scenery! very comfortable bed, nice kitchen and living room for your use making it one of the best guest houses we have stayed at in Iceland so far! would definitely come back again if traveling around Iceland!
This was one of the best guesthouses where we stayed during our trip in Iceland. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious, and the bathrooms very clean. Also the big hall used for breakfast with view over Vik is simply amazing. Definitely exceeded our expectations.
A very spacious and clean room. The hotel is located in the beautiful country side just off the main road outside Vik. Breakfast is very good. The staff is very welcoming. A good stop over site as one is visiting the south of Iceland.
Everything about this hotel is perfect. The staff were amazing, the room was incredible and the food was the best we have had on our entire holiday if not ever. If you come Iceland you should definitely stay here.
Ideally located hotel in Vik as a stop over so that one can visit beautiful south of Iceland. Clean room and helpful staff. Recommended. Good breakfast. One of the black sand beaches is within walking distance.
Excellent hotel, clean, beautiful, loved windows that opened to mountain, great staff all around, hotel desk attendant (Scottish woman) was great, dinner was amazing, lamb was best meal in Iceland, great breakfast
The best accommodation we experienced in Iceland. Nice and modern room with tons of space and private outdoor area. View of the water was amazing. The on-site bar and game area was a great surprise.
We arrived quite late at night and left early the next morning so didn’t experience too much of the hotel. Biggest room on our trip around Iceland and enjoyed a really good breakfast.
