The guesthouse made a great home base for our time in Grimsey. The rooms were small but comfortable. We had a cool view of the dock as a fisherman offloaded his catch of fish. You can bring food and prepare it in the guesthouse kitchen or eat at the restaurant nearby. The restaurant was very good. Just be aware, if you need groceries, the grocer is only open for a few hours each day and, as you can imagine, has limited options. Grimsey is a special place. It is absolutely worth it to stay a night or two!

Very nice hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious. The onsite hotel was top notch.

It was so neat to be able to stay on a working farm. The owner, Mangus, was friendly and happy to show us around the horse stable. We loved getting to watch the mom and baby horses grazing in the pasture near the house. The rooms are comfortable and clean with an amazing view!

The staff was very helpful and hospitable. We stayed two nights during the halfway point of our trip and were able to use their laundry service (2 night stay is required). The rooms were very nice. They felt more like an American hotel due to the larger size, bathtub, and having several electrical outlets throughout the room. The restaurant on site is very good with a large selection including a buffet option that includes traditional Icelandic foods like lamb stew and fermented shark.

Very nice hotel with friendly staff. The breakfast was excellent. They also have a free parking garage for guests. We really appreciated not having to worry about finding and paying for overnight parking.

The hotel is very nice. It's probably the fanciest hotel we stayed at in Iceland. The staff are very helpful and the breakfast was good. However, since it's right off of the main street, it can be very loud in the evening with events going on or people enjoying themselves outside. We stayed two nights and there was a good amount of noise both nights when we were trying to sleep. Our room on the east side of the hotel also got quite warm in the morning with the sun streaming in.

This was one of my favorite places to stay in Iceland. It's tucked away in the countryside of a small town. Right outside of our cabin, we had a view of a small stream with several birds. Just beyond that was a field with grazing horses. Even though there are 8 cabins bunched together, it was so quiet and peaceful.

We had a great stay at Hotel Laugarvatn. It's a easy drive from Thingvellir National Park, Geyser, and Gullfoss. We ate dinner at Lindin (so good!) and walked down to the lake by the geothermal baths to see the steaming sand where they bury and bake the geyser bread. Very cool area!

The lava cave tour was very interesting. The guide did a great job of explaining how the cave was formed, the different colors of the rocks, and the viking lore of trolls living in the peninsula.

The lava show was so good! It was incredible to see the lava flow and watch how it quickly changed form. Feeling the heat in the room change as the lava flowed down really put into perspective how hot the lava is. The narrator was very knowledgeable and shared interesting facts about the geology and nature of lava.

The Into the Glacier tour was an incredible, unique experience. The transportation and transfer process was smooth. The guide when we got to the glacier was very knowledgeable and shared interesting facts about the glacier and about Icelandic history and culture. We were able to take our time looking around and taking pictures, inside and outside the cave. It didn't feel rushed at all. Just enjoyable.

Spring for the nicer room with a view!

This is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at! We had a superior room. It was hands-down the nicest room I’ve ever stayed in. The design of the hotel is wide open and airy, floor to ceiling windows to take the view. Lots and lots of seating areas, beautiful breakfast buffet and fantastic bar menu. I highly recommend the pulled pork sandwich. The sheep wandering around the hotel grounds was so appreciated and charming. The outdoor bathing experience was perfect. If only they had a spa!!

The hotel was under construction when we stayed there. It’s a little small, but I think the construction will help. The walk down to the private beach is incredible. Perfect location to explore the area!

Spring for the retreat blue lagoon package and a lagoon room! So worth it.

A great adventure! The guides were so amazing. Particularly Anya.

The blue Lagoon is better. The experience is the same.

Wild and beautiful. A true Icelandic experience.

The puffin tour was hands down one of the best things!! The guide was super knowledgeable and third generation. They started as sheep farmers and now run these tours. Really cool tractor ride out to the island and fun walk up the black sand dune. Once up to the grassy part of the island you are not prepared for what you see! 100’s of puffin flying, building nests just hopping around. You can get so close to them they aren’t afraid of you unless you make fast movements. We were really lucky with the weather just a little rain to keep them close to home but not enough to send them into their nests. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND

From the staff's view to the staff everything was absolutely incredible.

Amazing, and great guide!

So amazing, and best rye bread we had the whole week, hands down!
