Top Hestvatn Hotel Reviews

Lambastadir Guesthouse

8/10 Good

"This was a great place to stay after doing the Golden Circle and before we began the South Coast/Ring Road. It is in the farming area of Iceland, which has a simple beauty and glad we experienced this in contrast to the stunning parts of the country. Accommodations were basic and the room was a bit cramped for 3 of us. It was very clean and we had the free breakfast which was a great perk. We enjoyed the hot tub and the rustic little outdoor sauna after a long day on the road. It was easy to find, just off the main road. This place is not as remote as I had thought it would be although feels quiet and remote. Selfoss is only about 10 min away and is a town with amenities, grocery store, gas stations, clothing stores, etc. We had a great dinner at the Food Hall. The host at the farm was very helpful and we got to feed the sheep - my 10yo & I loved that!"

Bitra Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

Hotel Grimsborgir by Keahotels

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, breakfast was excellent."

Buubble Hotel-Ölvisholt

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Bubble. It was easy to check in and there was such a cute well lit path marked to our very private bubble clearing the trees. Though the sky didn't cooperate with the Northern Lights the private wooded scenery around the Bubble (even in the rain) made for a lovely view. Staying in the Bubble was a really fun and very cozy, comfortable experience."

SAGA Circle Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Room was big and clean that was fairly comfortable. The unit felt private. The hot tub was nice more like a hot bath outside but still pretty sweet. Beautiful area very close to the Golden Circle."

Small but mighty: Immersed in nature, 10 minutes from Selfoss
