Charming boutique hotel with wonderful views, food, service and horses too. The restaurant for dinner is a treat and the full buffet breakfast fuels you for a day of glaciers, waterfalls and volcanic beaches:)
The staff was fabulous. Friendly, helpful and the vibe was more like a visit with friends than a hotel. We rode horses a first for both of us and the guides and stable folks were terrific. Location is good for site seeing in the Vik area. The rooms were comfortable. 10/10.
We loved everything about this hotel in the charming countryside backed by mountains with views of Icelandic horses and the distant sea in front. The food at the restaurant was some of the best that we experienced in our weeklong stay in Iceland. The breakfast was complimentary with many options to choose from. Plenty of activities offered by the property including horseback riding with wonderful views from the mountaintop. The staff were extremely kind/courteous.
Highly recommend this hotel. The rooms are wonderful and the food in the restaurant is incredibly delicious. The option to go horse riding on the property is a great addition and so much fun. Great place to stop when driving back to Reykjavik from Diamond Beach.
Absolutely fantastic experience staying at Skálakot. Outstandingly friendly staff, Michelin level food, luxurious accommodations with a highly personal touch. Incredibly close to lots of famously draw dropping views and attractions
This small Inn was located in a lovely setting with a great view of the Westman Islands. The staff were so gracious and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were fantastic - especially the mussels and the bread! The spa with hot tub and sauna were terrific. A great experience for the equestrians with trail rides available! A very special place indeed. Deborah
Skalakot is like an old world hotel. Gracious staff and beautiful accommodations. Best food we had during our 11 days in Iceland. Loved the horses there! A very special place!
We loved our stay here. It was perfect. The staff (esp Michael and Alina) were so nice and helpful. We would definitely stay there again. The spa was divine. The food was great. Service was impeccable.
We loved the cozy vibes combined with an excellent service and homely atmosphere, where even the owner himself wishes you a Merry Christmas. The dinner at the restaurant was absolutely anmazing and we really enjoyed the fireplace afterwards. We can warmly recommend staying at Skalakot and will definitely come back ourselves!
A great base for exploring south (southwestern) Iceland! Superb staff - friendly and professional - made the visit memorable beyond the spectacular landscape of Iceland. Food was excellent - occasionally a bit heavy but some dishes were extraordinary - the tomato consommé and the saffron risotto with pork cheeks
We have a lovely one night stay at Skalakot. It’s very charming, simple hotel in beautiful surroundings. The bed was comfy and the shower was good. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The spa was small but nice, gets quite cramped if there are more than 4 people in there. I think it would benefit from an outdoor hot tub. Dinner was nice, breakfast was ok.
Incredibly relaxing stay! We stayed here instead of busy Vik. It was near many things. We rode horses to the waterfall. We hiked around the area. We saw the aurora! The meals were delicious and the staff were so very friendly. The rooms and hotel have stylish and cozy decor. Thank you for a lovely stay!
Such a beautiful spot to stay! It’s very close to so many of the sight seeing spots in south Iceland. The staff are extremely kind and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Everything is decorated beautifully. My 7 year old son loved playing with the dogs (his favorite part of our trip) and seeing the horses. We will definitely come back!
Stunning property with staff that goes above and beyond to give you the full boutique hotel experience! The location is great, close to many locations along the south coast. The restaurant on site was excellent, breakfast included had a great variety, we enjoyed everything we ate here for 2 nights! We had onsite massages that the staff pre-arranged for us before we arrived and enjoyed the onsite spa. One of the top hotels I have stayed at. I would recommend to anyone coming to Iceland. We were able to see the northern lights a short drive away from the hotel
Immediately at check in we were greeted with warmth and helpfulness. He took time to give us a tour of the property and amenities while someone else brought our bags up to the room. Our room on the third dloor was beautiful with a balcony that overlooked the farm.
This was our second trip to Iceland, this time without the kids. Skalakot Manor was fabulous! The breakfast was to die for, and the dinners were equally exquisite. Laid back and very restful! The sauna and hot tub were welcoming every afternoon once the sun was setting before dinner. We got to see the northern lights one night immediately outside our door. Couldn’t have been a better place to celebrate our anniversary. We are already planning our return trip!
