  • The smaller of the two lagoons. I saw this one first and it was amazing. It was off to feel like your driving in the middle of no where and then, boom, amazing glacier lagoon! Lol. I couldn't decide which boat tour to do so I chose to do both (at each lagoon). For the tour I actually liked this one better. Cozier, the guide seemed more knowledgeable, and the mountain backdrop was better. Definitely go hang out at the other lagoon on the beach, but I'd vote do the tour at this lagoon. Love the reflections!!! This was approx 3pm in June. O and I don't recommend if you want to try both tours to do them back to back. The lagoons are only 10km/10min from each other, but this tour went over for me so I missed the other one and had to reschedule it for the morning. Good thing I was staying nearby. #waterlust

Nice guesthouse with very clean washrooms. The free breakfast was a great bonus. We got the 3 beds room which was comfy but however a bit small. Otherwise everything else was very nice.

This is a truly charming place to stay—spotlessly clean with spacious bathrooms, especially compared to other places we've stayed. The breakfast is a real highlight and a big bonus. I highly recommend trying the homemade jams—they’re deliciously original, with unique flavors like carrot-lemon and rhubarb. Thora, our host, is incredibly kind and welcoming; she truly makes you feel at home.

The host was so kind and attentive. The view from the bedroom window was brilliant. In the heart of the Icelandic countryside. Incredibly we were certain we even saw an arctic fox from the window although I was not quick enough in getting my 'phone to photograph it (and prove it !). The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was excellent.

This was a room only, shared bathroom and kitchen stop for us. The lady owner waited for us to arrive up to a late hour, and prepared sandwiches for us to leave before breakfast, thank you. The room for 3 was on a really small side, but for 1 night was ok for us. The room was clean and has a small sink, which is a bonus. The location is off the main road about 15 min or so, is quiet and peaceful.

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.

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.

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.

The hostess was very helpful and amiable. She provided a modest breakfast in the morning that was very well done. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean. We appreciated that the washroom and shower were separate from each other. Both were very modern and bright. Access to the kitchen area to chill out (both in the evening and in the morning) was very nice. The guest house was situated on beautiful grounds which was the site of a former church. Negatives? None. Would definitely stay here again!

While the host was fantastic and made a lovely breakfast. The bed and room is very comfy... It would be nice to have a bit more than a hot water kettle or microwave for a small warm meal after traveling in the cold all day. I was really glad to have had a cup of noddles. as I did not want to drive to another "hotel/guesthouse" for dinner. I had planned a head and am traveling with some groceries for easy meals on the ring road... as you cannot always depend on restaurants.

Nice but too many rules

The room was cozy, comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious, BUT they have a lot of rules that we didn't like, for example complete silence and you can't shower after a certain hour (we arrived after a long hiking day and had to sleep dirty) plus they only have one shower and one restroom for the whole floor. Wifi was weak and didn't work in some rooms.

Kálfafellsstaður Guesthouse is a quaint, quiet B&B about 20 minutes NE of Diamond Beach. The property is clean and picturesque. Thora's breakfast was delicious and diverse. There's a sweet church next door and a cemetery that produced some lovely photos. She has a no shoes inside policy. No problem, but I would have brought slippers if I'd known. The room is small and it is a shared bathroom, but when we really needed to go and another guest was in there, Thora said we could use another one downstairs. The only other downside was not the property itself. It is a long way from restaurants and they close early compared to the U.S. Even the 24-hour gas station stores were closed. So if you stay here, I'd bring some energy bars or frozen dinners and put them in the downstairs fridge just in case you can't find a place that's open. It actually might not be a bad thing if she sold something like that for people who weren't about to pick up dinner. Overall a lovely place to stay. I would definitely stay there again if I have an opportunity to go back to Iceland.
