Guesthouse Dyngja, hotel in Skálafell

Providing a terrace, Guesthouse Dyngja offers accommodations in Höfn. This guest house provides free private parking, a shared kitchen, and free Wifi.

House was extremely clean. Really liked that there were three toilets (two for the bottom floor, one for the top floor), so that I didn't need to scramble to find a toilet when I had a stomachache! I liked being able to interact with the other guests too. I loved the little jar of cookies that the owner arranged on the dining table for us - a nice touch!

    The guesthouse has everything you need for a pleasant stay. In particular, we enjoyed the breakfast and the friendly and helpful hosts. The guesthouse is located at the starting point of a hike that we enjoyed thoroughly.

    The guesthouse was absolutely spotless, and felt like a warm clean haven after a rainy day on the ring road. The breakfast was lovely, with homemade baked goods, homemade smoked salmon and fresh waffles. The host couldn’t have been more welcoming!

    Everything about this guesthouse is great! The owner was icelandic and very friendly. She even let our friend to use the showers for free and sleep in her camper van on the property! The guesthouse is well equipped (2 shared bathrooms/restrooms!) and the breakfast was yummy, with homemade products. The bedroom was roomy, with comfy beds. Everything was clean and functionnal. The location is pretty quiet and the view is nice over the fields. You can see the ocean in the distance.

    Our host, Jan, was friendly and very helpful. He told us about a great 3 hour hike that started right at the guest house. Although the location is about 30 minutes from Hofn there is a hotel with a good restaurant nearby. Our room had a lovely view and the shared bathrooms were spacious.

    This guesthouse is situated on a farm land. Each room is in a small chalet, from where you have a view on the farm's sheeps or the fall situated at the back of the property. The environment is great ! Our hosts were really nice and helpful. They can cook dinner for you at the main house, dinner was of good price/quality. This is one of the few accomodations available in this area, I strongly recommend it if you are visiting Jokulsarlon or going further East.

    We were lucky that our group was the only group at the guesthouse, so we were able to make an amazing meal and enjoy the sitting room into the wee hours of the morning. The rooms were well spread out and the house is solidly built, so it was quiet and peaceful in each bedroom. The scenery and quiet of the farm could absolutely not be beat! Everything was updated and comfortably modern, from the kitchen to the bathroom to the beds. We wished we would have booked more nights at the guesthouse!

    Amazing stay. The room was new and clean. The host was so nice, she also cooked a very good dinner for us with very little advice. Perfect position of the guesthouse, easy to reach. We were also able to see the northern lights not far from the room, thanks to the low light pollution in the area.
