Top Vatnajokull Hotel Reviews

Hótel Jokulsarlon - Glacier Lagoon Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel with a fun lounge area to hang out in. Staff was polite, friendly, and would notify you of any northern light sightings. Slightly crowded but still a great spot."

Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice hotel and we were able to see the northern lights. Hotel was clean and beautiful. Hot tubs were terrific and the dinner was tasty."

Hotel Skaftafell

10/10 Excellent

"The dinner at the hotel was excellent! And the breakfast buffet to start your day can't be beat. Excellent location if heading to Glacier Lagoon or Diamond Beach."

Guesthouse Gerði

8/10 Good

"Very nice location. The cabin had a problem with water leaking from the hot water tank, but the staff were taking care of it."

Hali Country Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! The staff were very welcoming. The room was cozy & clean. We had a great view."

Kálfafellsstaður Guesthouse

8/10 Good

"Sur le site ça dit arrivée 17h-20h. Nous sommes arrivés à 20h20 et pas de stress, nous avons pu accéder à la chambre. Salle de bain très propre, c'était calme comme endroit"

Guesthouse Stekkatún

10/10 Excellent

"Ingeborg was a great host."

Old Cottage - Reynivellir II

8/10 Good

"Check-in is at a different location than the Cottage, so be sure to review the messages from the hotel before arrival regarding check-in location. We were the first guests to arrive for the evening. Our room was clean and tidy upon arrival, and so was the bathroom and kitchen/common area. The cottage was full and we were on the 2nd floor with 2 bathrooms. Each bathroom only had 1 bath mat, which disappeared after the 2nd person took a shower. (Each room should be provided its own bathmat, not 1 per bathroom. Besides ensuring we'd have use of a bathmat, it's more sanitary.) The bathroom doors/doorknobs were sticky and required a bit of "slam" to close, making it noisy for guests, especially those right across the hall. There should also be some indication where extra toilet paper and blow dryer are stored. When we called about it, we weren't told it was in the drawer below the sink (thought it was a false drawer so hadn't looked), but was told to look in the other bathroom. Not helpful. Other guests left food in the sink drain after cooking/eating. Sign should indicate to throw in garbage. The cottage is relatively old, even though the bathroom and kitchen area have been updated, and it sounded/felt like we were going to go through the floor when walking around in our room."
