The property is in a stunning location, surrounded by trees and rivers, offering a peaceful escape close to nature. Rooms are comfortable , with a kettle and washbasin, while bathrooms are shared among two bedrooms.Breakfast is included ( very basic - cereals , breads and fruits ) and served in the common restaurant, and dinner is available at extra cost, though vegetarian options are limited ( only 1 ). Staff could be more welcoming—we were reminded about breakfast timing in a rather curt way. Also, having a small common area with a fridge or microwave would be a great addition, considering the remote location. Overall, the location is unbeatable (10/10), but service and amenities could be improved.

Guesthouse was clearly old but maintained. Ordered two single bed rooms and got a double room. Heat wasn’t working at the time (manager told us that they checked it and it was working). Rooms are very small and hot water runs out quickly. Breakfast was meager, some bread, fruits, veggies, and cereal. A bit overpriced in my opinion.

Friendly staff which seems to be a common trait for Iceland. Cabin was small but extremely clean and bright and comfortable. Same for the bathroom. Included breakfast was served in a very pretty small sunroom type restaurant. The breakfast was of high quality although it didn’t have as many choices as we saw other places. I don’t think there was any hot entree. Overall we were happy with our stay.

A lot of potential but lacking when we were there

Room was very basic and a bit tired. The shower tray did not drain sufficiently quickly so there was a risk that it flooded. I reported it on leaving so hopefully it will be fixed for the next guests. We ate dinner at the restaurant one night and it was very good indeed. It was such a shock how bad the breakfast was. (I don't really understand how a lot of people said that it was great). It doesn't take much effort to put butter or other spreads in a bowl or dish but they were served straight from the packet or jar. Surprised that there were no eggs (not even boiled eggs which would have been simple to prepare). And a limit of just one type of cheese and meat.

Hunkubakkar Guesthouse is an absolutely little place where you will find adorable cabins to stay in. They are located in a meadow with trees around it, a field of sheep nearby and the sound of a small river/creek. The staff are all so kind and polite. I stayed in a triple room, which had three twin beds, a small bathroom and a table with chairs. The shower is quite small and someone slightly larger than me would have a very difficult time entering it. That being said, the rest of the cabin was super nice. There are a few outlets (three that I recall) in the main room. Breakfast was nothing to write home about. There were cereals, milk, juice, coffee, some bread, yogurt and meat and cheese. Something a little more substantive would be a great addition. I had dinner at the restaurant and it was quite good. I chose the three course meal with asparagus soup, lamb and apple cake. All were delicious! Highly recommend this adorable cabin style stop!

The property was in the middle of nowhere but still easy to find, especially in the dark. I switched to this place at the last minute and we were mostly glad we did. The staff was wonderful and the homemade bread and jam was fabulous. Our bathroom sink and tub were not draining very well so we had to be careful about that. The room walls are VERY thin so the noise from the other people were a bit disturbing. From the pictures we thought we would have a separate cabin but ours ending up having four rooms attached. The people next to us were very loud. The lamps above the beds were so low that we kept hitting our heads. There are no phones in the cabin either so we were able to call anyone for questions or help. We had a very hard time locking our door and couldn't ask anyone for help. The Wifi password was different on the key, compared to the instructions on the paperwork in the cabin.....it should have been capitalized. There is also no tv/radio or anything so if you like to fall asleep to white noise or tv, you will need to bring your own stuff. We stayed for two nights. Didn't have dinner there as we don't like lamb and the breakfast was small but it worked. The staff was super friendly and we loved that it was located up the street from the gorge. It was beautiful. Being on a sheep farm was pretty cool as well.

The property backs up to a butte with adorable sheep grazing and 2 minutes from a famous canyon. It is peaceful and beautiful. The staff are extremely friendly and the breakfast was perfect and light. A very pleasant experience 10/10 recommend.

Stayed one night here and loved the vibe & feel of the cabins. Staff were friendly & courteous. To top it off, I got to witness the start of Iceland’s ‘réttir’, which was truly amazing. The breakfast, however, was continental and basic compared to other hotels I stayed at during my 17-day trip to Iceland.
