Beautiful modern and cozy cabin in remote Iceland. The cabin was easy to access, warm and comfortable, with new facilities.
We had excellent views of the mountains and clear night sky. Also even a visit from the neighboring horses!
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

Beautiful, clean, modern home with spectacular views.
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.

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
Perfect, quiet location in the Hellatún countryside. The house was spacious, very clean, and had all amenities, including a washing machine for clothes and a personal hot tub! Linda was extremely accommodating and very pleasant to work with. We stayed there two separate nights on our trip, and we’re looking forward to getting back to Hellatun Guesthouse for our second night. Restaurants in the area are sparse, so either come prepared or know that you’ll need to drive a little bit to get to a restaurant. The views were incredible!
Cozy cabin feel hotel, but rooms are very spacious and service excellent across the board. We had very welcoming service, and excellent restaurant experience as well both nights. Most uniquely, its an isolated and peaceful location, with star/sky observatory hut 3 min walk from hotel. They gave a wonderful skygazing session explaining the incredible skyscape you see given you are in low-light pollution area, and most importantly we saw the Northern Lights for over an hour in middle of this session!
I loved the place! It was our favourite house in our Icelandic trip. We were family of 5 and this house outside of Hella is just a paradise. Hot-tub is just lovely to have and Linda is wonderful to talk, very quick in replying. All was just perfect and I would love to come back! Kitchen is so stylish, Kjarval book of paintings was great to read and bathrobes were a cherry on top. I highly recommend this oasis. Takk fyrir!
Really unique location, surrounded by trees on the edge of a majestic river. Well maintained paths made for a magical early morning walk during our winter stay.
Extremely clean and well-designed modern cabin. Bed was super comfy. The compact kitchen has everything you need for meal prep. Highly recommend a tour of the Hella Caves, located nearby.
We really enjoyed the restaurant at this hotel. The food at dinner was delicious. All the staff we interacted with were very welcoming. They even took the time to show us around the property when we checked in and point out where the amenities like the hot tub and sauna were located.
Very quiet and clean cabin, comfy beds, spacious, lots of storage options, excellent location for day trip on Golden Circle and for points of interest on South Coast. Fridge, stove, utensil in the kitchen, if needed. Hella is minutes away for grocery shopping and restaurants.
The hotel was well located at the end of the Golden Circle drive and provided spotless spacious rooms. The simple bar and restaurant provided sound meals with the included breakfast being generous and with lots of options. A good safe option to start the Ring Road drive.
most magical location elevated on a snowy hill by a winding river blanketed by stars and northern lights. boutique feel with great Nordic interiors. staff were wonderful. sooooo much better than the locations of larger hotels near by. simply magical.
restaurant was attached. We had breakfast and dinner there and was good. The hotel is right off Ring Road (1). We booked it as it was close to pickup location for our tour to Landmannalaugar. It was super convenient if you need to be in Hella.
The hotel was perfect to see the Northern Lights, which we managed the first night, so we were lucky. Wish we stayed longer since the location was helpful for all the driving we did around Iceland. Really cozy and friendly staff.
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.
Location was amazing, we were able to see the northern lights right outside the hotel.
Breakfast was good but can be better. Staff knowledgeable and common areas were good.
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
