Amazing location. Very comfortable, clean, spacious and modern room. Free admission to the area’s attractions and breakfast included made this a great choice as well. Check in was slightly confusing at first because of renovations taking place but the staff was super friendly and very helpful. Negative reviews about the staff in past reviews don’t make any sense to me… everyone working there was above and beyond friendly. Highly recommend.

Staff is so nice! Room was amazing. Breakfast was a delight! The hike to go from the cafe to the Viking village (the Witcher), to the farm to the lighthouse by the beach was incredible! No hesitation if you plan to come around here.

The location is lovely. And that is precisely what felt a bit off about this site. The owners (or investors and owners) of Viking Café Guesthouse seem intent on building a recreational facility that capitalizes on the beauty of the natural environment. But there was no sense of preservation or conservation in the business practices visible to us. Day visitors must pay for access, this is understandable as the property is private. But is any part of that fee returned to nature? We weren't sure. Also, lodging guests and day visitors are given a map with "trails" but we didn't see evidence of any trails. Visitors were not cautioned about trampling on areas that could be environmentally sensitive habitat for birds, other fauna, and plants. There was even a part of the "trail" that went up and over into the property of an international (NATO) surveillance site. My husband and I opted against including this portion in our walk. The room we were assigned was fairly large and all amenities worked well. Due to the construction of the room (and lack of windows) it feel a bit like the interior of a shipping container instead of a "guesthouse." Items available for breakfast were delicious and plentiful.

Fantastic location with walking access to the beautiful surrounding landscape. Staff was warm and welcoming, the room was also very spacious and clean. The cafe area was under renovation, and breakfast options were limited. Overall we had a comfortable stay and great experience at this special property in Hofn.

The property is undergoing a major upgrade. When done it will be spectacular. Even in its present state it is is very nice, and even if it wasn't, unlike other hotels in the area it is in the the center of such incredible natural wonders that I would stay in a dump to be here. Also the staff is the best!

Had a great stay here. Arrived late but they were great. The Viking village boat and ruins were more than we expected. We had fog, but still enjoyed the walk out to the water. Didn’t have time to do all the hikes. This is well worth the trip and would recommend whether you are staying in the guest house or camping/rving.

This property was nestled in at the base of Vestrahorn mountain. The staff was incredibly accommodating and didn’t mind that we checked in 1 hour after “check in hours.” The rooms were clean and spacious, and the cafe was lovely for dinner and continental style breakfast. Would stay here again!
