Great spot, top notch. Views were amazing and walk to the black sand beach area easy and straight forward. There was a list to be awakened if Northern Lights showed (which they did) and really appreciated that option.

This place is amazing! Food and staff are excellent. The only downside is the gravel road to the property. Small cars need to extra care and go slowly

Liked: Cleanliness
I stayed at Umi following a business trip, as I began a 4 day solo adventure. Pros: excellent location, beautiful view, quiet surroundings, beautiful walk down to the black sand beach (though be weary - it is not so much a beach as a stream, but still beautiful), polite staff. Cons: The noise in the hallway bordered on unbearable - people talking even in the most respectable way, carried and echoed all the way down the hall, and the doors did not close well so there was a lot of slamming. There is *technically* room service available, but there are NO PHONES in the room, so if you want any, you have to walk down to reception (which is literally beside the restaurant) and order it, which really defeats the purpose of room service (though to be fair the food was delicious), the hotel itself was more run down that the online photos suggest. All in all, the location really made this stay for me, and the limited occupancy made parking and such always very easy. However, the hotel itself, and what it offered, was generally underwhelming. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't as unique an experience as I was hoping for.

A gorgeous property. The black sand beach was incredible. The restaurant was first class. The breakfast was plentiful. I prefer showers with lips so that the water doesn’t flood. Very enjoyable, albeit pricey.

I had a wonderful experience here—the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. The location is absolutely beautiful, with easy access to the beach just a short stroll away. It’s also conveniently close to plenty of great restaurants, shops, and local attractions. Perfect spot for both relaxation and adventure. Highly recommend!

A Very Nice Stay

Best hotel in the area in my opinion. Definitely would recommend if you're travelling through. Breakfast was nice and the evening restaurant food was very impressive. Only issue i found was the price tag on using the sauna, very expensive, hence why i didnt use it.

Beautiful, small boutique hotel in great location off the Ring road route near Skógafoss and 30 min from Dyrhólaey and black sand beach. Staff is lovely and dinner is great. It is somewhat isolated so dining at the hotel is the easiest as it’s probably a 40 minute drive to Vik. There is a 15 min private walk on property to black sand beach with virtually no one in sight for miles - stunning. At night horses came from the nearby farm to drink from the little pond outside our window and guests were feeding them. A great, peaceful hotel.
