Perfect stay for a hiking getaway

Excellent stay at the volcano huts from beginning to end. Love the quiet, remote location. We had a glamping tent, which was set up wonderfully, with everything we could need. The beds were very comfortable, and the space heater, chairs and blankets were a great extra touch. It was so convenient to have the showers and washroom nearby, and we enjoyed dinner and the takeout lunch available. Perfect location for great hiking nearby. And loved the exciting bus ride to get there! Would definitely stay here again.

Easiest way to get closer to the majestic nature of Iceland, without packing a tent, sleeping bags or pad. Sure it's glamping (if you don't opt for a tent they have cute little cabins too)... but hey, you're on vacation, right? Great staff, great food, cold showers. :)

Glamping was amazing! Beautiful tent, super comfortable bed, and incredible scenery. *Be aware: you cannot drive to this property. You must take the bus. It’s an hour bus ride and they are only scheduled a few times a day*

Volcano huts is definitely a must do! My family and I wanted to experience hiking in Thorsmork and saw this as a great way to get easy access to amazing trails. We had a great experience staying in the huts. They are small, but perfect if you’re just looking for a place to sleep after a day of hiking. They can get incredibly warm, which was welcomed as we had two rainy, cold days hiking. We were able to fit five comfortably. The linens we were provided plus the cabin heater kept us plenty warm. The cabins also did come with a sink and some mugs: perfect for cleaning up a bit or having some tea in the evening. The staff was excellent: not only were they very accommodating, they were incredibly friendly and provided us with excellent advice on hikes to try and other things to do while in Iceland. We paid for the dinner and breakfast buffet, both of which were great. We had lamb for dinner, which I enjoyed even though I typically don’t like lamb. The breakfast was filling and perfect before hiking all day. The staff even allowed us a late checkout, which was great since we weren’t being picked up until 1730. We did need a driver with 4WD as the huts were only accessible by crossing several rivers and taking a road that is definitely not drivable by most. That said, the ride over was fairly easy and GORGEOUS. Honestly, I can’t say enough great things about the volcano huts. Definitely want to come back and stay longer!

Best Stay in Iceland. We stayed in the huts and they were absolutely amazing! Don’t be worried about being cold. With the heaters, the down comforters, and the fur throws, we were toasty warm and happy as can be. We even got to party one night with a large group of Icelandic sheep herders!!! (If you read this, was the one playing guitar single???). Wow. Amazing.

Everything was clean and good. Only down side was that the private room we booked did not keep the noise out of other rooms or the hallway. This is to be considered as you are paying 100$ for bus tickets on top of the stay to get there and back if you dont have a super jeep to get across the river. Views there are really good tho.

Camp pour randonneur,perdu au milieu de nulle part. Attention on ne peut s’y rendre qu’en utilisant des véhicules spéciaux. Trajet assez cher. L’endroit est magique mais le confort est très rudimentaire. Faut aimer ça
