Cozy cabin that was very clean and beautiful property, too bad it rained the entire time of our visit. Had supper at the restaurant and it was excellent, also enjoyed the fresh baked bread for breakfast.

Quiet cottage

The cabin was surrounded by fields of grazing sheep. Beautiful setting! The room was very comfortable and clean. Great breakfast.

Sheep and Serenity

The property backs up to a butte with adorable sheep grazing and 2 minutes from a famous canyon. It is peaceful and beautiful. The staff are extremely friendly and the breakfast was perfect and light. A very pleasant experience 10/10 recommend.
Autumn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed one night here and loved the vibe & feel of the cabins. Staff were friendly & courteous. To top it off, I got to witness the start of Iceland’s ‘réttir’, which was truly amazing. The breakfast, however, was continental and basic compared to other hotels I stayed at during my 17-day trip to Iceland.
Christian, 1-night trip

Charming cabins but overpriced. There's better value elsewhere.
Akash, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The cabins we’re comfortable and located on an idyllic setting. The dinner was phenomenal (we had the lamb). It was the best meal on our trip! The breakfast was included and was cold choices but delicious. Would highly recommend!
Denise, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The cabin was really cute and clean, pretty new condition. the bathroom is tinny. The staff was super friendly and their restaurant was very good. The lamb was so tasty, it was from their home raised sheep. Enjoyed our stay!
Guoyu, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The entire property drips rustic charm. Cabins are spotless and comfortable, and the main breakfast area is very clean and comfortable. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We stayed 2 nights and used this property as a base for exploring this part of the country.
Amie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great staff but room didn’t have any ventilation. Some mosquitoes around. But good cozy stay. Rooms are extremely small but great peaceful location.
RAJESH, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in a triple. It was so cute and clean. Tiny bathroom. Slept well. Breakfast was lacking and not great but we loved our cabin! Great location after our glacier hike headed back towards Vik.
Regina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property is a little way off the Ring road, but very quiet. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was nice. They do serve dinner there,however we did not eat at the guesthouse.

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, cozy and no nonsense check in. Breakfast was delicious - fresh, chilled, sliced tomato. Bread, cheese, orange juice . . . . Great stay!
Laurie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Idyllic location and great restaurant

We have a wonderful stay at Hunkubakkar Guesthouse. The location is wonderful, across from what appears to be a working farm and just down the road from a gorge you can visit. We had a beautiful cottage that was clean, warm, and cozy. The best part of our visit was the dinner we had in the restaurant attached to the guesthouse--the best dinner we had in Iceland: local lamb, fish, and all three delicious desserts! The location was beautifully idyllic and we definitely want to return.

The cutest place to stay with wonderful Icelandic view! Close to the Canyon, to a small village and to other falls. Great check in. Restaurant on site. Clean. No TV, but who needs it there? WiFi is good too.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice Unique place to stay.

Beautiful setting. Rustic but nice cabins. Nice breakfast and we had a good dinner there. We were travelling with our adult daughter and the cabin had two big beds which was nice but having at least a curtain to draw over one of them would have been nice. Also was a little pricey vs other places we stayed with more creature comforts. Overall though a nice place with very nice staff.
Dean, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cutesy well appointed cabins in a camp style setting. Comfortable beds. Very close(1 km walk) to the Fjadargjufur Canyon. Staff is very friendly and considerate. We were going to leave early the next day before their breakfast started so they packed breakfast to go for us. Restaurant on site serves excellent lamb and arctic char locally sourced.Overall great experience.

10/10 Exceptional

Highly recommend! Would definitely stay again

We had an amazing stay. The location is great for exploring the east coast of Iceland. The staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast was stellar and I highly recommend having dinner at the on-site restaurant- it’s delicious! My only complaint is the curtains weren’t blackout, so be warned if you’re staying in the summer when it’s still light at midnight. Other than that, the guesthouses and property are perfect.
