Find Top Homestays in Skalafell

This guesthouse is nicely located near Jökulsárlón(pick up location for many tour companies). It is right off the ring road 1. Away from town makes it a great location to view Northern Lights if they appear. Also, we had booked a snowmobile tour, the pick up point of which was a hotel hardly 5 mins drive away from the guesthouse We stayed in a room (room#1) with private bathroom the first night. The room was clean but a little too tight for two people and their luggage. There was a TV with free Netflix on it. The room had electric hot water kettle for tea/coffee We moved to a family cottage for the second night. This was spacious for two people with a seating area and a dining area. However, I expected it to be an upgrade over the previous room. But the cottage had no TV, no electric hot water kettle. It had a basic kitchenette with induction stove, a small refrigerator but no microwave. The breakfast had a number of items but no hot items (like scrambled/fried eggs, warm oatmeal/potatoes etc.) The dinner was better. I liked the fact that the lamb came with a good serving of veggies like peas and beets The Wi-Fi strength was decent in room#1 but was on the weaker side in the family cottage
