Top Rutshellir Caves Hotel Reviews

Hotel Skógafoss by EJ Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Loved my stay, and got to watch the northern lights over the falls!"

Skogar Hostel

8/10 Good

"No electrical plug in room, but we knew this. We asked for an extension cord to plug in cpap and they came quickly to provide one. Kitchen well equipped. Room is small but do not need more for a few days. Hostel was expensive but reasonable in Islandic terms."

Sólheimahjáleiga Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely the best place you can choose on your stay. Everything was magical thank you"

UMI Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"great stay! there was construction going on but it didnt bother us, wasn't loud either. The sauna was beautiful but small and was occupied most of the time. they had a boot drying service that was so helpful after a day of waterfalls! they also do a wakeup call for the northern lights! awesome dinner, and breakfast with the horses in the morning was incredible!"

The Garage

10/10 Excellent

"Best place to stay during our two week trip through Iceland. Anna was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed"

Welcome Holiday homes

8/10 Good

"We spent one night at Welcome Holiday Homes while driving around Iceland. The unit had a spacious living area with a well-appointed kitchen. The bedroom was on the small side but good enough for a short stay. The pillows and quilts were small and not very warm. An upgrade to the bedding would add comfort to the stay. I suspect the location would be ideal for viewing the northern lights but we did not get to see them due to full cloud coverage."

Hotel Skógá by EJ Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed the hot tub and check in was easy! Very comfortable!"

South Iceland Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"This was in a great location for exploring Iceland. The room was very clean and loved the kitchen area to make meals. Only downside is the shared bathroom but we had no issues! Nice to talk to other people in the house but most people were out exploring majority of the day."

North Star Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"We loved it. A beautiful cabin in a wonderful location."
