Reviews of Dalshöfdi Guesthouse

Nice remote guesthouse, rooms were good, and facilities were good. We never saw any staff, but there are key locks to get the key to your room and to be fair, it's not a bad thing. They left a freshly-made waffle for every guest, which was a nice touch.

Nothing I didn't like, really, but I do think it is quite expensive for a shared bathroom. There was complimentary tea, hot chocolate, but no coffee. My fault for not reading the booking; they do not say they provide any of that, so it is good that you got something. My comment is that it is really far away from anything, and the road is more or less a track off the main road. So it would have taken a significant amount of time to go and get some, so I did without.

Very nice place to stay! Waffles were the best part :)

The road to the guesthouse!

Nice off road location near raging river, picturesque views.

Basic room for high price, Simple shared bath. More like a hostel. We found much better value at other stays we had in our trip. The breakfast waffles noted in many comments we're not provided. I sent a message to The Host early in the morning inquiring about the waffles and never received a response.

clean and well maintained property

our room door was warped so we had to pull hard and slam it to open and close. bathroom got humid after each person showered and took a long time to become dry again. Location was pretty remote which was good and not so good at the same time.

We loved the location, beautiful views, glacial river and short walk up the hill for beautiful views. Kitchen was well equipped and we cooked 2 nights in the apartment which was a nice contrast to the eating out all the other nights.

Nothing, it was lovely!

The property is located in a beautiful farm surrounded by moss covered lava field, there are river, waterfalls in walking distance. The shared dining/living area are very home warm. I love the homemade waffles and strawberry jam the host provided daily.

Loved the location and ambience

Room was a bit small

spotlessly clean and quiet clear guidelines for guests using the facilities which were followed beautiful breakfast room looking out over the valley

a separate toilet from the bathroom would be ideal, (its all in one bathroom/shower/ toilet and shared with other guests however we were surprisingly never inconvenienced by the shared bathroom

The waffles

Nothing. It was perfect

Beautiful location. Easy to find

I would have liked to know it was 5 km off route 1 down a gravel road.

Off the beaten path in a scenic and beautiful location with rushing waterfalls, moss covered lava fields, small play area for younger children next to some interesting historical turf houses, horses at the farm next door, and oystercatchers guarding the bridge :). We stayed at the two bedroom apartment which was very spacious for our family of four, and we made several meals in the well stocked kitchen. Kirkjubaejarklaustur is about 15 min drive away for gas and groceries (but we picked up groceries in Vik on our way there). In early July when we went there was enough daylight to walk around the nearby waterfalls and bridge at midnight and enjoy beautiful golden hour light.it was a great place to spend a couple of nights after the sights near Vik and the Jokusarlon glacier lagoon.

There's a little bit of noise from neighboring apartments and the main guest house but nothing major. No laundry facilities nearby but we hand washed things to hang outside on the private deck to dry..

Location of the place. You would need to drive thought a tough road similar to a F road for 10 mins.

The calm, the beautiful surroundings. Very clean and functional. The kitchen is well equipped. Freshly baked waffles!

Wonderful area, very nice to walk around and to the waterfall. Comfortable and clean house, nice big dining room with wonderful view. The hosts sent us prompt, clear informations. We loved how organized and available they are, and yet descreet and stealthy at the same time. We would stay here again for sure.

It was very clean and a relaxed feel. The location was awesome! Thank you for the homemade waffles - very tasty!

We would have preferred a double bed, rather than 2 single beds pushed together.

The location was perfect if you are on your way to the glaciers. The place was very spacious and clean. I liked the waffles they left for us. Nice touch!

Great Guesthouse, feels super cozy. Everything you need and more, like fresh waffels

The place was overall neat and clean no issues

The owner/manager doesn't respond to messages at all . Does not look like they really care much about the customers

Very convenient location in Southern Iceland, with clean beds and facilities for guests to use even though the former are shared.

The walls in my room were quite thin and I could hear the conversation of a group of people staying in the room next to me. I wish that the quiet hours were more strictly enforced or that the rooms were better soundproofed.
