Hotel Vatnsholt

Rooms were clean, food was good, beautiful scenery in a remote location. |For some reason they lock-up the reception area and don’t allow access to coffee until late in the morning over breakfast. Black out shades were adequate but could be better.

Really nice stay at a horse farm in the Islandic countryside. We stayed in the white building and it was a good size room and large bathroom. The room was clean and had a beautiful view. We had a really good dinner with pizza and chicken salad, very good food. Would definitely stay there again

We stayed for two nights and had a truly enjoyable experience. The location is perfect for exploring both the Golden Circle and the southern coast—making it an ideal base for day trips. The peaceful surroundings, complete with open fields and horses grazing nearby, added a special charm to our stay. The hotel itself is very quiet, which made for restful nights in the incredibly comfortable beds. One of the highlights was the warm and welcoming staff. Even though we arrived late—after the restaurant had already closed—they still prepared food for us, which we really appreciated. The only minor downside was the size of the bathroom—it was quite small. However, this didn’t detract much from the overall experience. Highly recommended for those seeking a calm and cozy place in a stunning location!

We loved our one night here. Location was incredible. Got to watch the horses from our room. Looking at other pictures, we may have got the best room, & because of that they are absolutely getting 5 stars. Thank you!

The check-in information I received indicated self check-in was available and provided a code for my room. However, upon arrival there was no code to be entered and I was and to just walk into the room which felt unsecure as a female traveler. I went to the front desk where they gave me a key to lock the door. Not a big deal, but it was very odd. I had a private bathroom and I noticed there were no towels (the staff later provided plenty) and the toiletries were half used. The staff were very friendly and apologetic, but the inconveniences at that price point were off putting. The restaurant had pretty good wings and pizza.

A stunning location with a nearby lake and uninterrupted views giving wonderful vistas. There is a nice lounge and restaurant area with a pool table, darts board and futsal. The rooms are more variable with many sharing communal bathrooms. The more deluxe rooms have en-suite and are well furnished. The food was ok and welcome after a day exploring glaciers and waterfalls.

Stayed here for a school trip. Rooms are quite small with only few power sockets, and having no shampoo or body wash means I must use the hand wash to shower. Although dinners are self-served, they’re decent. The hotel is located in the middle on nowhere, so unless you are a teacher booking for a school trip then you should just find another one which has easier access to shops and services.

Ideal place to stay. Simple but nice.
