"We really enjoy our stay, the room and shared bathroom are very roomy and very clean. The shared kitchen was recently remodeled and got everything we need to make our own meal. The surrounding was very lovely by all the animals specially the horses."
"Great hotel. Modern, but with a cottage-like vibe and a nice common area for breakfast. Conveniently located close to a gas station and dining options."

"Thankyou so much for sharing your amazing property with our family. We had 5 adults and 2 teenagers on our trip from Florida. The kitchen was very equipped to save us some money by cooking some meals at home. The hot tub was simply glorious. I cannot speak enough about the views from every single window. Definitely hit bonus and Costco for food before heading to the home. We highly recommend the into the glacier experience. Overall, we cannot wait to return. Don't forget to bring actual water proof jackets pants and boots! Layering and waterproof will be your best friend. Until next time iceland! IriniTampa Florida"
"Our stay at Torfhús was truly memorable. The reception and restaurant building is beautifully designed in the style of a traditional Viking home, with wood, turf, and fascinating artifacts throughout. Every detail felt thoughtful and immersive, especially the stunning couch crafted from an old fishing boat.
The food was excellent throughout our stay. Breakfast was extensive and delicious, and I especially appreciated the care taken with allergies — during my visit they even removed coconut from the buffet to ensure my safety. Dinner each evening featured a different four-course menu with optional wine pairings, and every meal was beautifully presented.
Our hús was equally impressive, with exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful design. It included two bedrooms, a bath, and a full kitchen with appliances hidden behind elegant wooden paneling. The warm lighting and antique-style fixtures created a cozy, authentic atmosphere throughout.
My only disappointment was the porch and private hot spring tub area, which felt too public and lacked privacy. Additionally, the tub temperature could have been hotter to make the experience more enjoyable.
Overall, Torfhús is a truly special place — luxurious, atmospheric, and unlike anywhere else we have stayed."
"Lovely hotel - decent priced and central to landmarks. Food at the restaurant is very pricey but the price for the room was good and the room has the most comfortable bedding and bed! Extra plus. Lovely service from the staff too"
"Staff were professional and courteous! Hotel is one level and easily accessible for persons with mobility challenges. This hotel is located behind the Hotel Geysir, however, all accesses to restaurants in the larger hotel are provided. Room was very clean and as described."
