Very friendly staff. Shared bathrooms have enough room to provide a cubby for each room. Would be good option to provide so we aren’t carrying toiletries back and forth.

Very convenient for a quick stop for a day! Room was a little small for our family of 5 but we managed since it was only a day. Food was wonderful and they even did our laundry for us!

Cute little stay!
The Vatnsholt guest house was perfect! It was such a great place to stay after doing the golden circle and wanting to head out to Vik the next day to explore and see the waterfalls. Yes, it is true, it is small, but I don't think you need much else. Its the cutest little thing with a beautiful view. Comfy and cozy bed, clean bathroom, slippers, towels, and linens provided. I recommend this to anyone / 2 people looking for a place to stay the night. We skipped the breakfast but I'm sure its good! the staff was also very nice. :)

The reception staff moved me to another smaller room without any clear reason, even though they have sent me the room # and key box code of the first room to my email. Hope they can improve their service in the future.

The room was clean and the bed fine. But the room was small; my wife and i took turns opening our suitcases. Location was nice, but a little ways out of Selfoss.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Clean, quiet, warm, tea/coffee/juice/water available till 23:00, friendly and helpful staff, good value for money. There's a table/chair in the room. With two single beds located in two different corners of the room, only one had access to a socket (no use of the little lamp near the bed, no chance to charge your phone near the bed). The reception and common area with tea and coffee are in a different building than the rooms. So I would really appreciate a kettle and mugs in a room or at least in the buildings where the rooms are. This would make sense when you arrive after 23:00 or when the weather's terrible.

The double room booked was very small and misleading from the pictures, it felt like a small cabin. The room booking stated a queen sized bed, however I got two small beds pushed together. The bathroom facilities were not great. I would not stay here again

Stayed here to save some money in Selfoss area. Booked room with private bath and it was comfortable but the farm is about 20 mins out of the city. Rooms are not ventilated unless you open windows- but you are on a horse farm. If ever there was a reason for a European hotel to have screens on their windows - this is it. Flies are common. Staff were excellent - the young lady checking us in ensured that were clear on where our room as and escorted us to our room. Breakfast buffet was serviceable but nothing special. Again, the staff were the highpoint of the breakfast.
