Beautiful property and excellent food
Taylor, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s a great hotel, although it’s clear it’s past its prime. The property feels a bit outdated, without yet having that classic charm. The staff is very attentive. We took the walk to the beach — highly recommended — and the service was excellent; they even dried our sneakers overnight so they’d be ready the next day. The food was very good, with a great dinner and a nice breakfast.

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

Icelandic ponies around property and easy walk to big beautiful beach. Dinner and breakfast buffet were both excellent. Favorite hotel we stayed at our entire week in Iceland.
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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!

The hotel is remote but has everything you need including scheduling a massage. The rooms were comfortable, the bar and lounge area are exceptional, and we had the best food of the trip in the hotel restaurant. Truly exceptional.

Amazing hotel. Views and beach walk was amazing. Easy drive to vik and beyond. Restaurant was delicious but eclectic. If you want somewhere more casual to eat you have to go into Vik. Sauna was gorgeous and staff was great, 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.
Joseph, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Susan, 2-night trip

Amazing facility, great food, bathroom work

Amazing facility and grest location with beautiful mountain and ranch views. Great food. Friendly staff. Bathrooms a bit dim and need place for hairdryer. Could offer regular sheets when comforter is too warm.

sunil, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome. The staff were always attentive and friendly while still being down to earth. Both breakfast and dinner were just lovely, with locally sourced ingredients and creative cocktails. The sauna and yoga room proved necessary at the end of each day of hiking and exploring the area - it’s so close to Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss, Solheimajökull, Reynisfjara, and Vik. This is a beautiful property, with awe-inspiring scenery from every angle, so bring your camera. The walk to the beach takes a bit longer than they say, but it’s worth it. We got lucky early on our first evening with a short but unexpected burst of aurora activity - just standing outside looking at the stars in the right place at the right time! - but they do have a wake-up service for anyone wishing to see the northern lights when they start up. My only (minor) demerit was for the bed comfort, but it’s certainly not the worst I’ve had in Iceland or anywhere else in Europe, so it’s barely worth mentioning. I will definitely return to UMI! <3
