Good location on our travel schedule
Not very well kept outside. The toilet and shower together without another toilet option isn’t very good.

The breakfast was really good with local products.
The location is super nice, 20mn drive for Jokularson, and you can hike directly to another glacier from the guesthouse.
Cottages are super cute.
The room was spotless clean.
so much noise in the morning in the main building, doors banging from 7AM. and the blinds are not efficient for summer nights.
the price, so high, for a basic hotel. but that's Iceland!

The décor in the room was excellent, everything coordinated. Excellent breakfast, great location when visiting the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. We were fortunate to have two visits to the Diamond Beach since with the second visit, all of the pieces of ice had left with the tide.

Rural surrounding
Dinner is comparatively expensive, price level like good urban restaurants, soup and sauce tasted like being prepared from convenience food

Our stay at Guesthouse Skalafell was lovely! Our room was comfy and clean. The breakfast meal was delicious and plentiful. We hiked along the trails with the river on one side and cliffs on the other! Spectacular! The hosts were warm and welcoming. Easy to find. We would definitely stay here again!
We wouldn’t change a thing!

We were stuck due to the first winter storm of the year. All the roads were blocked. The owners were so lovely and even made us a wonderful lunch for free. We got an amazing homemade soup and homemade bread. They made sure we had everything needed and were so kind

The owners were really nice. The sunrise was breathtaking, the entire surroundings are really beautiful.
The doors would not lock, there was blood on the mattress - something we could see as the bed had not been made up, the breakfast that had had raving reviews was really basic - not a problem - it’s just that the reviews of this place really did not match reality.
