Hotel Hjardarbol

I am not going to divulge my favourite room when on tour with 35 boys and 4 other staff members in tow. I am hopeful that I can get this one again in 2026! As always, our stay at Hjardarbol was as brilliant as the last. This family run guest farm serves up delicious meals; breakfasts being absolutely brilliant, the packed lunches comprising of sandwiches is sufficient to sustain hungry boys until they start their retail therapy and the suppers are sumptious, hearty and filling. You can go back for seconds, a schoolboy's dream. I cannot pay this establishment a bigger accolade than that which I have stated in previous reviews over the years. They really look after all of your needs. I wish this family-run business all the very best and long may they be filled with contented customers. The rooms are clean and just right for a large group on tour. Oh, and those lovable and playful dogs add to the warm welcome extended. Olafur Pa (Oli), the son of Sjofn (Shop). They are there to greet you the minute you set foot outside your room in the mornings and to welcome you back after your return from your days activities, each with a log in their mouths, ready for you to throw, that is if you can get them to release them. They are so cute! If you're playing a ball game, they will attempt to join in and good luck if you want your ball back! Thank you to all of the hard-working staff at the Hjardarbol guest farm. We do appreciate all that you do for us when we visit. Þakka þér fyrir; Þakka þér fyrir

Welcomed by dogs and room was decent. Nice little area for a home stay type of accommodation. Place has a little history but overall a decent stay for a night

Lovely property surrounded by trees, providing a lot of privacy for the cabins / rooms, in a rural setting.

One of the best accomodation from the seven place we stayed in Iceland. Outdoor hot tub is great. You can buy breakfast for 2500ISK/person and it's great, with several homemade jams, salad from their garden, sliced smoked lamb, skyr, etc. Clean room, nice hosts (young guys), good value for money. Would be a great choice for larger groups as there are seperated houses with rooms. Nice athmosphere and decorations. Good location to explore the Golden Circle.

Repurposed farm with multiple options for your stay, including onsite dining. We booked a larger quad room with private bath for our group of 3. The hot tubs were a perfect way to relax after a day of travelling

Compact domitories with trees and picnic benches around them. Kitchen was well equiped and compact; the dining area large though in another building (for us). Handy location for the Golden Triangle, and also for the amenities of the town of Selfoss.

Check in was ok. No bodywash provided. Lot of bugs, no window screens. It was known that bathroom were shared but the ratio was not mentioned, so it was 6 rooms sharing 2 washrooms, which was a real inconvenience.

This was a great spot - I wish we would have stayed the whole trip . The hotel dogs were a major highlight - so nice and friendly !

Several nice buildings. But not very sound proof (could hear people in the bedroom next door). Comfy and clean. Two hot tubs: one at 38C and one at 41C. So cool. Room to have your meals, and breakfast in case you don’t want to pay for it: hot water, coffee, cutlery, plates.
