Hengifoss Guesthouse

My wife and I enjoyed staying at Hengifoss. The rooms were larger than average and we had sheep in an adjoining paddock for a view. We really enjoyed the restaurant / lounge area. We sat by the fire and chatted to another couple after dinner. Dinner was nice but the alcohol pours seemed a little stingy. I think the young Italian waiter seemed scared to .put a foot wrong. It was only a 6km drive to Hengifoss Waterfall which was a nice walk. All in all it was a comfortable stay.

I travel a lot for work and this has been by far the friendliest and best service Ive received. Really good food and local selection of drinks and clean rooms with a beautiful view. Two of our team members have dietery restrictions and the way the chefs solved it has been wonderful and way above anything Ive seen from the hundreds of restaurants we have eaten at. I cant recommend this place highly enough. Sleep and/or eat here.

I stayed in the guest house. They also offer camping. The guest house is extremely clean, well lit, and very comfortable. The location is fantastic. They serve dinner, with three options the night we stayed there. I had lamb goulash which was very good. They also served fish and a vegetarian option. Breakfast was a fairly typical Iceland breakfast.

Super friendly family owned place that can be highly recommended! Spacious and very clean and nice rooms with cooking possibilities. Great breakfast with homemade bread, cake and jams. Lots of different beautiful spots in this area to discover.

Small reasonable rooms. Health spa a short distance away. RV hook-ups are popular should book in advance. The restaurant offered reasonably price food, but only prepared one menu for the week. The rooms were small but clean.

Really comfortable room in a secluded location. The hotel was very clean and tidy and the breakfast was really nice - I especially liked the pancakes. Friendly service from the staff too. I would definitely want to stay here again if we were passing this way.

Great location near Hengifoss waterfall. We had small kitchen in the room so we could prepare own breakfast. Beds were comfortable room was decent size and clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. The whole place is pretty crowded because of camping site. Worth coming back some day.

Nice view from the room. Polite reception. Good breakfast. There was no TV in the room. Good price compared to other hotel. Όμορφη τοποθεσία και ωραία θέα από το δωμάτιο. Καλό πρωινό και καλή τιμή σε σχέση με άλλα ξενοδοχεία που έμεινα στην Ισλανδία.

We were a group of 3 families (6 adults and 3 kids) and stayed with Sigga and Helga for 4 nights. The rooms are quite roomy and impeccably clean. We all had our own private bathrooms, and my brother's family had a family room with a kitchenette that was quite well stocked. Sigga, Helga and their family are the most gracious hosts. They were always there and ready to help. Sigga noticed that me and my mother would bring our own gluten free bread or crackers to breakfast as we are both gluten intolerant and magically gluten free breakfast items appeared the next day! The large front deck is perfect if the weather is good and the surroundings are beautiful. The guesthouse is about 30 min drive to Egilsstaðir, we liked being outside of town as we were closer to a lot of the area's attractions and my 5 year son could run around on the playground and ****** on the soccer field while the adults enjoyed the nice weather we got on the deck. Thank you everyone at Hengifoss for everything you did for our family and for making our stay so pleasant!
