    Hella a bit sparse.

    Hella a bit sparse. No good restaurants that we found and they stop serving at 9pm. Not much to Hella but it was in the countryside and we saw the Northern Lights. Our hotel was well lit so we could find it but they would not turn off the lights to view the Northern Lights better.

    Small central town, great for staying at the igloos, and great for going all round. So nice to go east to Vik for the Katla ice caves, skogafoss and the waterfall hike, and Vik beach and west for kerid crater and blue lagoon and then north for gullfoss and the geysers. The town itself has a small supermarket, nice bakery and okay places to eat. Looks pretty with the mountains to the side.

    We were not happy with the accommodation.

    We were not happy with the accommodation. The front desk staff were disorganized. We were told a day before check that we would have 2 cabins instead of the 2 rooms we booked in the main hotel. When we arrived we were told we would get 2 cabins. When we checked I across the street, we were told we had one cabin which was a downgrade for us. One adult had to sleep in an upper bunk bed and the cabin was smelly , some windows did not fully close and the main door did not lock. We were quite disappointed in the accommodations. The cabin was not in good shape. We specifically booked 2 rooms to get 2 bathrooms period. Based in all of this, we would like to request a partial refund.

    Extremely lousy management, relocated and downgraded to s cabin nearby with no wifi, handwash or toiletries. Reason given- overbook, well not a acceptable reason in 2023! Avoid at any cost, overpriced for bad service

    Beautiful, clean, modern home with spectacular views.

    Beautiful, clean, modern home with spectacular views. Location of home is quiet, on a horse farm, about 30 minutes from the main town of Selfoss. It was a good location to explore the south. We would stay there again!

    Terrible relocation experience due to overbooking. 1.

    Terrible relocation experience due to overbooking. 1. Unacceptable reason of overbooking in real time booking system especially we have fully paid. 2. The selection of customers for relocation is not transparent, not logical and also not acceptable, especially we have fully paid in serval months (confirmed and paid on 4 Feb 2023 for the booking on 1-3 Aug) 3. We booked 3 rooms (7 persons) for 2 nights (1-3 Aug). Maybe pre-empting us can release more rooms for others, and maximize the revenue as we might paid less (booked in 6 months in advance) 4. Very short notice ie we received the relocation message at 16:18 on 1 Aug that we were on the way to Legendary Hotel Hella. I strongly believe the overbooking happened at least a month ago but I had only 2 hours notification time 5. 2 receptionists are inexperienced to handle such disaster issue. The manager, the decision maker, was hidden and not face to or talk to the customer directly. 2 Receptionists were not able to explain the situation nor to comport their customers. 6. We were relocated to Bru Country Estate, that required us to drive about 1 hour to there. 7. Hotel Hella booked 3 rooms for us (7 persons) in Bru Country Estate for us but there are only double rooms (no triple room) in Bru Country Estate. It created another problem during the careless relocation booking. 8. We booked a local tour to Highland on 2 Aug. The itinerary was changed and shorted due to longer travel time starting from Selfoss instead of Hella

    Nothing, we didn’t stay at all. Checked in around 7 pm only got the keys as we were late for dinner at another restaurant, sure what can go wrong. Came back at 10 pm to find dirty cabin - can understand these things happen however no one to contact, reception closed,messaged the property no answer called the number multiple times no answer. In the middle of the Iceland 10 pm pissing rain. Luckily another property down the road had extra room for the night. Also messaged the property multiple times days after this still no reply.

    Loa’s nest is a clean, modern guesthouse just off route 1 in Hella. Mountain views and horse farms abound giving the location a calm and serene feeling. The guesthouse is run by a wonderful, kind family who cheerfully greeted us in the morning and shared friendly conversation over coffee and waffles. Spacious, simple rooms with comfortable beds gave us the best sleep we’ve had in Iceland. The private bath was also spacious and clean with modern, hot showers. We can’t recommend Loa’s Nest highly enough!

    Cozy cabin feel hotel, but rooms are very spacious and service excellent across the board. We had very welcoming service, and excellent restaurant experience as well both nights. Most uniquely, its an isolated and peaceful location, with star/sky observatory hut 3 min walk from hotel. They gave a wonderful skygazing session explaining the incredible skyscape you see given you are in low-light pollution area, and most importantly we saw the Northern Lights for over an hour in middle of this session!

    This is the best stay we had in our 10 night tour of Iceland. A few minutes outside of Hella in a very quiet location, the duplex is updated with modern decor and very well equipped. We enjoyed the private hot tub on the private deck. Beautiful views. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking. There are plenty of pillows and extra blankets although this was not needed as the apartment was nice and warm upon arrival. Host is very attentive via messenger. Our only regret is that we didn't book two nights.

    Tindasel Lodge seems like a boutique lodge off-road near Hella. Driving towards it feels like going on a farmstead and entering the Lodge itself feels like steping into a deluxe hotel. The rooms were nice and had a pleasant smell. The staff was friendly and helpful. It had an amazing outdoor spa which was amazing to relax in during the evening hours with a beautiful view of the country side.

    Like all hotels in Iceland it is somewhat pricey and doesn't look like much from the outside. That said, the rooms are bice and comfortable and the hotel restaurant is wonderful. The restaurant has an incredible setting next to a river, with large windows that let you take in the views. The food and drinks were all excellent. All in all, an excellent place to stay.

    Really unique location, surrounded by trees on the edge of a majestic river. Well maintained paths made for a magical early morning walk during our winter stay. Extremely clean and well-designed modern cabin. Bed was super comfy. The compact kitchen has everything you need for meal prep. Highly recommend a tour of the Hella Caves, located nearby.

    Very quiet and clean cabin, comfy beds, spacious, lots of storage options, excellent location for day trip on Golden Circle and for points of interest on South Coast. Fridge, stove, utensil in the kitchen, if needed. Hella is minutes away for grocery shopping and restaurants.

    Cozy, chic hotel. Outdoor hot tub and sauna is a perfect way to end your day after exploring Iceland’s golden circle. Only a 1hr10 drive to thingvellir national park. Food and service fantastic. A great place to enjoy the sunset and northern lights (if the weather allows)

    I have stayed at dozen of hotels in Iceland. This was on the top of the list of best stays/experiences ever. The cottage was super clean and had everything needed for our stay. Hopefully I will have a chance to visit it again :)

    We chose this hotel mainly based on location as it's close enough to different sights and not too far from the airport. We ended up having a lovely time: Tidy, clean room, friendly and welcoming staff and a great breakfast.

    They upgraded our reservation to the stracta hotel due to a booking error at the cabins. This hotel was 12/10. Their breakfast was beyond generous and the staff were very help and friendly.

    The room is OK. We asked for a quiet room and got one at the back side of the hotel, which is OK. The front side is along the ring-road of Iceland.
