Featuring mountain views, Jökla Guesthouse in Skjöldólfsstaðir features accommodation, a garden, a terrace and a shared lounge. Private parking is available on site at this recently renovated property. I had the pleasure of staying at this guesthouse, and I must say, it exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the host, and their hospitality set the tone for a fantastic stay. What truly stood out was that, at the time of our visit, we were the only guests, granting us the entire house to ourselves. However, even if we had shared the space with others, it wouldn't have been an issue at all, given the spaciousness of the property. The house itself is incredibly roomy, boasting two generously sized bathrooms and a total of four bedrooms. The bed we slept in was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. But what truly left us in awe was the interior design. Everything within the guesthouse appeared to be brand new, and the decor was not only welcoming but also exquisitely beautiful. We found ourselves inspired by the interior design and have even taken some ideas back home with us for our own living space. In summary, our stay at this guesthouse was a remarkable experience. The warm reception, spacious accommodations, and stunning interior design all contributed to an unforgettable visit. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch guesthouse experience.

Finding this house let me discover a part of Iceland which I didn’t know about. It’s such a peaceful and beautiful area, a place to rest!.. I really enjoyed a feel of a local home. I find it so wonderful that a family lives there and opens their house for guests to share some icelandic vibes. The room is super clean and cozy, all house is nicely decorated and well maintained. Special time and I wish to come back again!..
