Dalahyttur Lodge

Great location in a green valley at the start of the West Iceland peninsula, about 5 km on a well-kept gravel road. The main building has the reception, dining area and a few small units. We stayed in one of the larger double units just below the road, with amazing views over the valley. Rooms are modern, stylish and very functional. Breakfast is in a small but well-stocked buffet area. Dinner is by reservation (book by early afternoon) with a short menu, but dishes are excellent, well-prepared and nicely presented. Limited wine list, but good quality. The family running the place is super kind and gave us great tips for sightseeing, cafes, and fuel stops. Prices are on the higher side, but very fair for Iceland and the quality offered. Overall, highly recommended – especially for couples looking for a quiet, comfortable stay.

The accommodation is beautiful and the views are fantastic, peaceful and relaxing. Good quality furnishings and shower gel, shampoo, conditioner etc. lovely touch is a tablet in the room which allows a bigger screen to Google!!! We arrived quite late but the owner still offered food so we ordered a pizza and she hand delivered a fresh home made pizza which was delicious! The breakfasts are really good quality in a fantastic space. Would love to return. Also has electric charging points.

Great stay! They have a few guest houses on either side of the road—likely part of an expansion. We stayed in a room on the side opposite the restaurant and reception. The room felt like a modern cabin and was well-decorated. It had lovely views, came with robes, toiletry bags (including toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.), and welcoming chocolates—just like a real hotel. Our room shared a wall with another but we didn't hear them much unless they were showering, it's an interesting townhouse/cabin-style setup. You must try the restaurant! Guests are asked to place their food orders by 4 p.m. on the day of arrival if they plan to dine in. It’s a small operation with kind of open kitchen. We had the chicken burger and the fish of the day (cod), both of which were delicious. But the best part was the whole roasted potato—absolutely incredible and melt in your mouth. Breakfast was excellent as well.

If you will be in the area, this is the place to stay!! Reception/dining building doesn’t look like much when you drive in, but it’s a remodeled old Quonset building - modern, inviting and cozy. We stayed in a duplex cabin across the road. Super well designed small space with a patio (beautiful view), seating area with comfortable chairs, incredibly comfortable bed and pillows, and a great shower! The only thing missing were some hooks for towels in the bathroom and a handle on the bathroom barn door so it could be more easily fully closed.

Stunning. We only had night, but wished we'd stayed longer. Beautiful setting in a secluded valley, with amazing views. They have 6 new lodges, each with a small terrace and great views over the valley. The rooms were super comfortable, with bathrobes, small fridges and even wine glasses to enjoy a drink! Shower was also fantastic! We ate at the small onsite restaurant, which is where the reception is and a few minutes walk from the lodges. Food was good - they send you a menu a few days in advance and ask you to confirm your order before 4pm on the day you arrive. Worked well and we enjoyed the food! Special mention to the young polish lady who greeted us and cooked for us! I can't remember her name (sorry!), but she gave us some great recommendations of things to do the following day and in Reykjavik. They were all great tips!

This was one of our favorite stays in Iceland. Room was fantastic and offered a lovely view. Chef Darria (for dinner) made us our favorite meal of our trip and was incredibly kind and helpful with recommendations for our trip. The other chef during breakfast, whose name we didn’t catch, was also lovely and hospitable. Overall a wonderful stay!

Amazing rooms, amazing people and amazing food. If u want to be amidst the beautiful mountain ranges as close to nature as possible, this is the place to be. The cabins are comfy and have all basic necessities for all weathers. Not to forget, you will be in for a treat if you want to see the northern lights.

Such a peaceful place with amazing scenery. Very well put together studio rooms with everything you need. The main restaurant building has been restored very nicely and the resident sheep will greet you when you arrive. Highly recommend for a peaceful nights sleep
