Stayed in the studio, was an amazing stay, really easy to check in, views from the studio were outstanding, take food with you and enjoy the facilities. Comfy bed and warm showers. Best tap water ever.
stunning, make sure you walk all the way down the trail,...
stunning, make sure you walk all the way down the trail, there are two other gorgeous waterfalls that a lot of people missed by not going all the way to end end of the trail (which is only a few hundred meters long).

This is an amazing place to hike and see some glorious views - especially on a clear day - which can be a bit tricky. We were extremely fortunate to have some of the the sunniest days recorded. Could not ask for a more comfortable hike. There are glacier hikes that you can pay for but honestly parking at the Park and hiking up yourself is something you will not soon forget. Not too laborious, but you defintely feel like you are exercising. Loved every minute of this hike and I wish I could have stayed longer.

Sadly we only had a day in Skaftafell and I wish we had more time to explore the national park. What we did see was stunning. Nature, hikes, glaciers and ocean all within a stones throw of each other. Well worth a longer visit than just to pass through.

Tremendous family run generational local property.
Tremendous family run generational local property. Gorgeous setting and very close to National Park. Great path in rear of property leading to amazing glacier views and outlet lagoon. Lovely dinner and dessert! Friendly, warm staff. Great relaxing indoor bar and outdoor patio with stunning glacier views. Thank you, Hotel Skaftafell!!!
What a sweet hotel! It is in a perfect location to visit the national park via the Skaftafell entrance, where there are many excellent hikes. The staff is friendly and helpful, and pointed out the cool and easy trail behind the hotel that goes to the glaciers, with great views. The room was comfortable and quiet, with nice beds. The restaurant is open again (hooray), and we had a great meal there for dinner, as well as a very nice (included) breakfast.
Standard European breakfast was nice. Dinner at the restaurant did not meet expectations after reading other reviews. Beds were unbelievably hard and seemed small for twins. We had the misfortune of having some sort of really loud generator (?) going all night, which we heard because we kept our window open since the room was so warm. We stayed in many hotels around Ring Road and I felt this was the least impressive.
Cosy and clean room. Comfortable beds. Restaurant served excellent breakfast and dinner. Vatnajokull Glacier can be clearly seen from the hotel room, and you can walk to the national park from the hotel. Many day trips start from the skaftafell terminal tour center which is near the hotel. Good location to spot aurora during winter.
The property is well situated between Vik and Hoffn with easy access to the Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach amongst other landmarks. The walks to the rear of the hotel itself give stunning views of glacial landscape.
The rooms were modern, bathroom facilities were good and very clean.
We stayed in the annex behind the hotel. The room was comfortable, and we appreciated having a water boiler. Good black out curtains and easy access to a great trail right behind us. Really nice breakfast spread. can’t beat the location for being near the main park and glaciers.
Breakfast amazing, back of the hotel is the best place for the northern lights, the staff so happy and friendly! parking ample! rooms well equipped and clean, i loved this hotel so much, the check in was fast, and a stunning location in the middle of no where.
The place is really nice. The staff is welcoming, the size of the room good and the beds were really comfy. It was clean and quiet. There is nearly no light outside exept the hotel so we could watch the stars ans sky lights easily ! Thank you very much !
Perfect location and views. My absolute favorite trail walk is behind the hotel which takes you straight to Svinafelljokull —a MUST if you are in south Iceland. Plus great restaurant and fresh cuisine (breakfast and dinner) Takk!!
The location, and easily accessible to the hiking trail to the glaciers behind the hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. Restaurant dinner was great too. And the offer of alerts to Northern Lights sightings was good.
This hotel sits in front of a glacier. The room was spacious. It includes a buffet breakfast. Lovely staff. Amazing location near the various glacier activities and hikes.
