We loved everything about this place. We were able to upgrade to a suite after we arrived and I would recommend that to everyone. The dinners were great and the lounge area and the bar were perfect. The staff couldn't have been nicer. Not to mention that they have a call service you can sign up for that rings your room if the Northern Lights come out...... Just fantastic

Location, very clean, comfortable, quick response from property manager.
Hella a bit sparse. No good restaurants that we found and they stop serving at 9pm. Not much to Hella but it was in the countryside and we saw the Northern Lights. Our hotel was well lit so we could find it but they would not turn off the lights to view the Northern Lights better.

Small central town, great for staying at the igloos, and great for going all round. So nice to go east to Vik for the Katla ice caves, skogafoss and the waterfall hike, and Vik beach and west for kerid crater and blue lagoon and then north for gullfoss and the geysers. The town itself has a small supermarket, nice bakery and okay places to eat. Looks pretty with the mountains to the side.

We were not happy with the accommodation.
We were not happy with the accommodation. The front desk staff were disorganized. We were told a day before check that we would have 2 cabins instead of the 2 rooms we booked in the main hotel. When we arrived we were told we would get 2 cabins. When we checked I across the street, we were told we had one cabin which was a downgrade for us. One adult had to sleep in an upper bunk bed and the cabin was smelly , some windows did not fully close and the main door did not lock. We were quite disappointed in the accommodations. The cabin was not in good shape. We specifically booked 2 rooms to get 2 bathrooms period. Based in all of this, we would like to request a partial refund.

Extremely lousy management, relocated and downgraded to s cabin nearby with no wifi, handwash or toiletries. Reason given- overbook, well not a acceptable reason in 2023! Avoid at any cost, overpriced for bad service

Location of home is quiet, on a horse farm, about 30 minutes from the main town of Selfoss. It was a good location to explore the south. We would stay there again!

Terrible relocation experience due to overbooking.
1.
Terrible relocation experience due to overbooking.
1. Unacceptable reason of overbooking in real time booking system especially we have fully paid.
2. The selection of customers for relocation is not transparent, not logical and also not acceptable, especially we have fully paid in serval months (confirmed and paid on 4 Feb 2023 for the booking on 1-3 Aug)
3. We booked 3 rooms (7 persons) for 2 nights (1-3 Aug). Maybe pre-empting us can release more rooms for others, and maximize the revenue as we might paid less (booked in 6 months in advance)
4. Very short notice ie we received the relocation message at 16:18 on 1 Aug that we were on the way to Legendary Hotel Hella. I strongly believe the overbooking happened at least a month ago but I had only 2 hours notification time
5. 2 receptionists are inexperienced to handle such disaster issue. The manager, the decision maker, was hidden and not face to or talk to the customer directly. 2 Receptionists were not able to explain the situation nor to comport their customers.
6. We were relocated to Bru Country Estate, that required us to drive about 1 hour to there.
7. Hotel Hella booked 3 rooms for us (7 persons) in Bru Country Estate for us but there are only double rooms (no triple room) in Bru Country Estate. It created another problem during the careless relocation booking.
8. We booked a local tour to Highland on 2 Aug. The itinerary was changed and shorted due to longer travel time starting from Selfoss instead of Hella
Loa’s nest is a clean, modern guesthouse just off route 1 in Hella. Mountain views and horse farms abound giving the location a calm and serene feeling. The guesthouse is run by a wonderful, kind family who cheerfully greeted us in the morning and shared friendly conversation over coffee and waffles. Spacious, simple rooms with comfortable beds gave us the best sleep we’ve had in Iceland. The private bath was also spacious and clean with modern, hot showers. We can’t recommend Loa’s Nest highly enough!
This is the best stay we had in our 10 night tour of Iceland. A few minutes outside of Hella in a very quiet location, the duplex is updated with modern decor and very well equipped. We enjoyed the private hot tub on the private deck. Beautiful views. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking. There are plenty of pillows and extra blankets although this was not needed as the apartment was nice and warm upon arrival. Host is very attentive via messenger. Our only regret is that we didn't book two nights.
We loved staying at Landhotel. The rooms were comfortable and cozy with lots of space to organize all of our hiking clothing each day. We were able to see the northern lights while we were there (great location off of the road and away from other properties). The hotel was easy to get in and out of and was a nice base for our adventures. Loved it!
Wonderful experience. We got the private cottage. Being outside of town, it was so peaceful and quiet. Horses along the property line, a walking trail next to the stream... perfect. Onsite restaurant was tasty with a limited menu but that was ok! The lamb curry was yummy. Highly recommend this hotel!
Legendary Hotel Hella was easy to find and check-in was efficient. It was the cheapest of our stays in Iceland because we were only there for one night before driving to the airport the next morning. There are several gift stores located in the town center perfect for souvenir shopping.
Excellent new hotel, great location, perfect as base for excursions in the south of Iceland. Good breakfast with all essentials, friendly and helpful staff, very good restaurant, good value for money for Icelandic standards. Small relax/spa area with sauna.
Location was excellent for exploring the South of Iceland. Within easy reach of Hella or Selfoss for dinner and super markets, well equipped and toasty warm. Perfect in November. Oh and the farm dogs will melt your heart! So sweet ❤️
Charming lodge, very comfy bed and a nice breakfast. Owners are lovely and helped me to map out new waterfalls i had not experienced before. Great location perfect for your time in the Hella area.
They upgraded our reservation to the stracta hotel due to a booking error at the cabins. This hotel was 12/10. Their breakfast was beyond generous and the staff were very help and friendly.
The room was one of the best we stayed art during our 10 days in Iceland. The best bed, good breakfast, friendly staff, clean spacious room. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
The hotel is in a beautiful location, right on the river with a great view. It has a mini kitchenette inside so if you wanted to cook your own food, you could do so.
We had 3 rooms booked at the hostel and we ended up staying in the hotel! Restaurant was convenient and breakfast was great. Room was clean, bathroom was clean
