This was a nice hotel off of the beaten track. Our room was clean and spacious. We were warned that the hot water had a sulphur smell but it quickly went away after using the sink. We would have no problem staying here again.

Excellent, updated/modern guesthouse. Kitchen has all the dining tools you need. Room is large and spacious as is the bathroom. The best part is the view from your room to the ocean. Saw whales from the rear of my room. Absolutely beautiful walk to beach and water from room. Highly recommend.

True to its value, this is a beautiful property in a beautiful little town. There is only one restaurant in the area and it is absolutely wonderful. Really liked the rooms, and cleanliness. It had a well stocked kitchen and we could use the washer and drier at this family. The only thing we could ask for was better blinds. Its hard to sleep with so much light inside the room

Large room with a sea view. Parking by the door. Shared kitchen with coffee and tea. Geothermal hot water (although some may not like it) is a great new experience. A nice restaurant with icelandic food and pizza in walking distance. There is a great 2km hike along the cliffs (beware of seagulls) that starts almost at the doors. Area may not be very picturesque but this is definitely a great option if you need to spend a night in the area.

Not sure why Salthus is only rated 2 stars but in my opinion is better than 3 stars. Clean, warm comfortable bed and room(twin) with plenty of space. Large accessible shower & toilet room. Parking at door. Fully equipped kitchen although only I only made toast. Wonderful views of sea and mountains. Great walk nearby around sea cliffs. I did not meet any staff as self check in. Only a 15 minute drive from Bluondos. Thoroughly recommended.

Salthús Guesthouse in Skagaströnd – A Peaceful Icelandic Retreat This was our second time staying at Salthús Guesthouse, and it continues to be a hidden gem in Iceland. The drive there alone is breathtaking, with stunning views of the landscape. The guesthouse is located near a cliff where you can gaze out at the vast ocean—if you’re lucky, it’s a perfect spot to photograph the aurora borealis. However, keep in mind that it’s a windy area. A short drive away is Kálfshamarsvík, home to a square-shaped lighthouse surrounded by green grass and basalt columns along the sea. It’s an amazing spot for photos and a must-see for nature lovers. The guesthouse itself offers comfortable beds and clean, spacious rooms. The two-story building is beautiful, but I recommend contacting the property if you have difficulty with stairs. For those who love nature and want to escape the crowds, this remote location is perfect. The peace and serenity you’ll feel here are truly unique. Since there aren’t many dining options nearby, be sure to stop at a grocery store and take advantage of the guesthouse’s fully equipped kitchen. Alternatively, the B&S restaurant is a 20-minute drive away, and there’s a nearby seasonal restaurant within walking distance. If you’re seeking tranquility and a beautiful setting, Salthús Guesthouse is the place to be.
