I had the pleasure of staying at Árnanes Country Hotel, a family-owned gem that immediately felt like home. What made my visit truly special was the warm hospitality of the owners. They generously shared insights into fascinating, off-the-beaten-path destinations that I would have never discovered otherwise. These unique recommendations added so much depth to my exploration of the surrounding area.
The relaxed vibe extended to the morning routine as well. I appreciated the flexibility around breakfast times—there was no rush, and I could enjoy my morning meal even if arriving at the end of the schedule, savoring it without feeling hurried. This laid-back approach contributed significantly to the overall feeling of comfort and ease during my stay.
My accommodation was a charming little house entirely constructed from wood, with thoughtful and attractive decorations that created a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The eating area followed suit, adorned with vintage decorations and decorative natural flowers, making every meal feel special.
Having a parking spot right next to my house added an extra layer of convenience, simplifying my daily excursions. While the accommodation didn’t offer dinner during my stay due to the low season, this turned out to be a hidden blessing. It led me to explore the nearby city of Hofn, where I discovered some fantastic restaurants for my evening meals.
In summary, my stay at Árnanes Country Hotel was nothing short of delightful, thanks to the incredible warmth of the owners, the beauty of the surroundings, and the comfort of my accommodation.
I left feeling refreshed and grateful for the experience.

Staff was very nice and helpful. Breakfast was great, we had great views of both the sea and the glacier. It it is very secluded so we decided to dine there and the food was amazing the lamp is from the Farm and the tomato soup was delicious I think is one of the best meals we had in our stay in Iceland

Loved the cottage and location!
Lots of room and waterfall behind was so neat!
Very quaint and QUIET seaport town. A lot of the restaurants and bars were closed during my stay but was able to go to 1 of them which was lovely. It's a very far east part of Iceland I recommend going to, even if it is for 1 night.

Gem! This was worth the extra drive to visit. Honestly it was my favorite part of Iceland. Rugged beauty without the long line of tourist buses to contend with. Stokksnes Beach is a hidden gem at sunrise!

The Berjaya in Höfn is in a wonderful position with the harbour on one side and a view out across the water to the glaciers and the west on the other. It is also easy walking distance to all the local bars and restaurants.

Hofn is a lovely town in SE Iceland.
Hofn is a lovely town in SE Iceland. It has numerous, easy walking paths thru town and around their waterfront including a golf course with views that I think rival those of the finest courses in the world. Not a golfer, but if I were, this is a place I would want to play. It was spectacular. The views of the glacier were outstanding. There were several good restaurants, lobster is a local specialty. There are nature and art trails along the waterfront and a number of good historical exhibits. Wished we could have spent more time here. It felt like a vibrant, fully functioning community that I would have liked to explore more.

it was one of the most expensive stay on our 12 days trips.
it was one of the most expensive stay on our 12 days trips. The room did not match the pricing.
There were not microwave nor toaster nor any other means to warm up any food. Only one working chair in the room.
It was clean, but not worth the price.

Unlike tourist traps in the USA, Hofn is a marine village built to accommodate itself throughout the seasons. It's a place to relax, take in the fresh air, and chill. Its natural beauty is more than enough.
The room was basic, clean, and satisfied our needs. Everything in the room worked as it should and there was a nice view of the fields. The shared kitchen is on the lower level and we had to ask staff where it was because the signage (if any) was not clear of its existence. Throughout the space, there are cozy nooks for reading and one with some toys. I did like looking at the photos in the Icelandic books. The staff we spoke with were friendly and attentive at check-in and check-out. We did not eat here based on others' reviews.
The farm stay was unique among our six different accommodations whilst traveling around Iceland. It is just outside the town of Hofn. The host was wonderful, providing helpful information about the immediate area as well as the next leg of our journey. Breakfast was good. The room was comfortable and clean. Having to go down the hall to a bathroom was a bit unusual, but not a problem really.
Breakfast was very good, service across the board was excellent however I think Iceland in general is just full of incredibly nice people. Hofn itself is a beautiful little town with a very nice restaurant in walking distance from the hotel. Northern Lights wake up call allowed us to see the beautiful lights without needing to worry about sleeping through them.
We stayed one night at the Milk Factory during our road trip around Iceland. The hotel is located centrally in the town of Hofn. It’s a quick drive to the harbor and the restaurants. The staff was really friendly, warm and welcoming. Most rooms have incredible views of the mountains. The room was decent size and the property was very clean.
Loved this place, maybe the best place on our trip. Brand-new modern rooms with gorgeous views, and cheeky nods to the name. Great and helpful staff, strong (and password protected!) wifi, comfortable beds. Suitable breakfast. Rooms were a good size. The rooms even had mini fridges - so hard to find at other hotels in Iceland!
One of the best accommodations during our 2 week tour across Iceland. Everything about this cabin was well thought out by the owner. The location has a great view and there are a few benches in choice locations on the property to sit, relax and take it all in. Would love to stay here again in the future!
The guesthouse is a farm run by a lovely Icelandic woman who really makes your stay super nice and tells you a lot of things about Iceland. The breakfast was really nice with homemade sweets. The room was very clean and confortable. The private bathroom was outside of the room but super clean and nice
We loved this guesthouse, it felt very relaxed and chilled out, and we felt very at home there. It's in a convenient location for driving around the South and East coast of Iceland. I particularly liked the personal touches to the house and the sheep pictures on the wall!
Once you travel around Iceland you quickly realize, the hotel options aren’t lavish. This property is basic and gets the job done for a nights sleep. We had to book 2 rooms for our family of 4. So it was 2 twins in each. Rooms are decent size. Room was clean.
Hotel with older equipment, but everything clean. Great location if you're doing the Iceland circuit. There is a small town nearby with restaurants, shops and a petrol station. Great choice for breakfast. Kettle, coffee and tea are available in the room.
The guesthouse is located in an excellent location next to vestrahorn, and an hour drive to the glacier lagoon making it ideal for any visit that includes the eastern parts of Iceland, in terms of value for money its an ideal location
Excellent location if you are on your way in South Iceland; right at the Road Nr 1 and 20 min drive from Hofn. The rooms are nice, modern with big windows overlooking the Glacier; excellent breakfast and friendly staff
Everything was perfect! Absolutely beautiful views, super comfortable room and the host was so friendly. We loved meeting the dogs too! It was such a special place and one of my favorite accommodations in Iceland.
We booked a triple room although we were 2, the room was spacious with normal furniture. The dinner experience was the best, some of the best food we had in Iceland, make sure you try the hotel restaurant.
