We enjoyed our 1 night stay at Kálfafellsstaður Guesthouse in April 2024, and would definitely stay there again on our next visit to Iceland.
Thora was an amazing hostess. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Bedrooms and common areas were immaculate, and breakfast was delicious.

Nice breakfast, with the owner being quite hospitable. Location is close to Jokulsarlon so makes boeing those areas easy during non peak times.

Kind manager who provided a lovely breakfast. The heart waffles were delicious! The number of washrooms at times could be a little annoying, but having a sink in the room was such a help that it was quite bearable.

Our room had a big window that looked out onto what seemed like a secret garden - beautiful, and yet felt private.

We enjoyed our stay very much! The host Thora is extremely nice and accommodating. Check in was easy, Thora met us and provided all necessary information. The bed was so comfortable and the room was very clean. Although there are shared bathrooms they were very clean and there is a sink in the room. She made an amazing breakfast with homemade jams. The property is beautiful.

Simple and comfortable. The property was easy to find and we were met by the host who was lovely. The rooms were simple but clean and comfortable.
Expedia does not list breakfast as an amenity but it was included. There are also lists of local activities to consider as well as a list of nearby restaurants to chose from if you want supper.
A lovely stay.

This guesthouse was amazing. The shared bathroom was kept immaculate all the time. Beds were very comfy. Nice to have a sink in the room. Thora was a very welcoming host and her homemade jams at breakfast were super tasty. Very comfortable. Perfect location off the ring road very near the National park and glacier lagoons. Very pleased with our stay.
