Guesthouse Skálafell has a beautiful location, and the room we stayed in was new and the photos from this guesthouse is not on hotels.com yet. We thought we were going to have a semi-private cottage (from pictures it looks like you’d have one neighbor), but the new cottage is four rooms beside each other – unfortunately, we could hear when the neighbors walked on the porch and the vibrations from the steps on the porch also woke us during the night. When all that is said, the room was new and neat – and had all essentials besides shampoo/conditioner/bodywash, which could have been included for the price we paid. Breakfast was OK and staff was OK too.
Overall, I don’t think I would return, but if I had to, I would kindly ask not to stay in the four-room cottage again.
