Cheryl, 1-night trip

A must stay on your Ring Road journey!

Delightful stay at Glacier World! Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anyone visiting Iceland especially on a budget. Lovely front desk gal (named started with an “M” I believe) made us sandwiches and gave us fruit to go since we wouldn’t make breakfast the next day. Cozy reception area. Strong WiFi. 10/10 hospitality.
View from our window!

10/10 Exceptional

Great location for a glacier walk. Staff was great working with us on a late checkout. Great breakfast buffet!
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Fine for stopover from ring road

Room was comfy enough but tv didnt work and should be removed. Breakfast was basic, juice was terrible (diluted?) Didnt use hot tubs as were a distance from actual property. View was lovely from room. Fine for one night stop over. Obviously making improvements but no noise or activity during our stay.
Lorne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This guesthouse is located in an extremely beautiful location and is by itself so that it feels very private. Guests have access to the hot spring pools, which are lovely and, again, just in the best location. The scenery is amazing. The staff is wonderful and helpful and the rooms are very nice.
Michelle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really lovely little hotel, the rooms are big and clean, restaurant is excellent. The desk in the room is too small though.
Herman, 1-night trip

The host was amazing! Views were amazing of the glacier out our window!!!
Carlo, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The setting is what makes this property exceptional, as it provides a perfect, close view of the nearby glacier, with Icelandic horses in the foreground--absolute epic!
Virginia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice stay. Beautifull view

Perfect lodging for aurora viewing. You have the glacier just across the field. We got a message from the reception that there wasn't going to be anyone at the desk upon our arrival (a little offputting but it resulted to be ok after all) the breakfast was good. I would recomend this place 100%
Diego, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice stay. Room had good blackout curtains

Small b&b kind of in the middle of nowhere with a great view of the glaciers outflow area. Rooms were nice, clean, and had great blackout curtains. The breakfast was good. Staff friendly. There’s horses and sheep in the property next door so it was neat to watch them

Lea, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel is a gem in the middle of nowhere. Amazing view of the Glacier and an evening relaxing in the hot spring with a glass wine was just perfection. Easy hike to edge of hotel. Hostess was very gracious and helpful. Breakfast simple but tasty, coffee awesome.
BALDEV, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We saw northern lights from the road. The room was spacious. The drain wasn’t great, the TV didn’t work and there was no hear, it was really cold. The location was magnificent!
