Absolutely extraordinary location. The private beach is breathtaking. As is the view. I also truly enjoyed the stunning yoga and meditation room.

Great location just under a km from Skogafoss waterfall.
Very convenient if you like to enjoy the waterfall in the early morning or at night (photography). Private entrance and private bathroom for the single room. Nice shared kitchen with all amenities. Single room is very small, but serves its purpose perfectly. Host even left a small heater in case I needed it for the cold night. Would stay again.

Self contained apartment with large foyer, two large bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom. Loved the little boot heater/dryer. View was fantastic. Menus of local restaurants in foyer. Bathroom had heated towel racks.

The location under the mountain is amazing
But it is really crowded with a lot of cabins and cottages which made the place less appealing

Skogafoss is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world, impressively large, and if there is even a little bit of sunshine, there will be a rain bow in front of the falls. The town of Skogar includes a noteworthy folk history museum.

Great place to stop at while driving to Vik!
Great place to stop at while driving to Vik! There are many things to see and do and endless hiking paths to follow. A few waterfalls around including Kvernufoss, which was amazingly hidden, but very near the Skogar Museum. The museum offers a variety of exhibits on history of the area ( outside part including turf houses), but also technical part - really amazing and great thing to do when the weather is not promising. We stayed at hotel Skogafoss and we had a real blast there! Highly recommended due to facilities and service alike. There is a Eyjafjallajökull visitor centre, right below the volcano- unfortunately closed during winter season. We drove and walked to Seljavallalaug hot spring natural pool, where you can swim, however water is quite cold. The surroundings is beautiful though. Further south you can drive towards Dyrhólaey and Reynisfjara/Black beach. We loved Skogar area very much and had amazing time at different spots around.

The waterfall is spectacular!
I recommend to go all the way up the stairs and walk around the trail and enjoy the marvelous view.
It is a quiet and small town with very friendly people 😀

The waterfall is the highlight, and if you have time, you should walk a bit further on the trail above it. It’s a beautiful hike.
The folk museum is amazing, sounds corny, but it’s really good. It has an excellent cafe too.
Area is close to Vik and the black sand beaches.
The bistro at hotel Skogafoss is consistent and the food is good and reasonably priced for Iceland.
Sadly the ‘secret’ waterfall now has a highway trodden too it and lots of erosion on site as people have climbed all over the grass outposts and killed all the vegetation.
Very comfortable small hotel, I had 3 rooms for the family, and all have lovely views of fields, and sheep that mill around outside the window. Clean, comfortable and the kids particularly enjoyed the coffee machine with hot chocolate available at all times. Very close to Skoga waterfall, the plane wreck, a black sand beach and the two glaciers. Great breakfast - bacon was the best of the 5 hotels we stayed in. For dinner, we strolled up to Hotel Skogafoss that had good food.
Our whole experience at the hotel was brilliant. Staff were excellent and willing to help with any queries - they even alert you if the Northern Lights are appearing during the night :) - restaurant had lovely food for both breakfast and dinner with a good bar. Bedroom and bathroom were clean and spacious - bed was comfy with the window view of the mountains amazing. Visiting the beach (about a 20 min walk away) was a nice added bonus.
We had an amazing time at Hotel Kverna! The location of the hotel is perfect - only 1 km from Skogafoss. Rooms are simple but clean and comfortable. Breakfast is very good and the staff is so friendly - especially the hotel manager. When we couldn‘t start our rental car because of an empty battery, he moved heaven and earth to get everything fixed. Thank you again and we will definitely come back!
Self-check in easy and straightforward. Staff were very nice and super apologetic about our first room being dirty (see below). The bed in our second room we were given was very comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and had a really big variety of foods to eat, staff were on top of replenishing food that had run out. Location was great, a 2min drive from Skogafoss.
The location of Kverna Guesthouse was awesome! Walkable distance from Skogafoss! The staff were very friendly and accomodating. The breakfast was good, and there were a lot of options that we hadn’t seen before such as beans, cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and egg patties, along with the usual goodies such as juices, coffee, cereal, yogurt, jams, toast, and meats and cheeses.
Perfect location for Ring Road and Skogafoss waterfall.
Rather basic accommodation but it had all we needed for a nights' stop-over. A big plus was that there was a quite good restaurant so that we didn't have to go 'dinner-hunting' in the evening. Very nice green surroundings and very close to the waterfall.
They staff were friendly and helpful. The location was a short walk from Skogafoss waterfall and the Skogar museum was next door. We chose Kverna due to the location as we had certain places we wanted to visit nearby and further afield. It was our base for 1 nights before moving up to Fludir.
The location was beautiful, right next to Skögafoss. Due to Covid, we preordered breakfast, which included whatever we wanted. They prepared a to-go breakfast for us one morning when we left too early for a sit down breakfast. We also totally enjoyed 2 dinners in their restaurant!
Place is super clean and very well kept. Kitchen very equiped. Nice views from every side of the house. 2 shared bathrooms for 5 rooms which is very good. Perfect location, next to Skogafoss. Bus stop very close by. Restaurant close by. I HIGHLY recommend this place.
Lovely little country lodge. Amazing location - a stone throw away from waterfalls - accessible even in heavy blizzards! Absolutely amazing staffs - from front desk to restaurant. Food in restaurant was also amazing.
Very spacious. I like that the kitchen has a separate door so any noise or coffee smell did not disturb people in bedrooms. Beautiful view. Short walk to waterfall and hike and restaurant.
I loved the location being super close to Skogafoss, Vik, Reynisfijara and Solheimajokull. We stayed in a large room enough for our family of four. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet.
Great stay, clean guest house with a nice warm continental breakfast. Loved exploring the old dormitory building, grounds and learning the history. Super close to Skogafoss!
Fantastic location with views of the waterfall. Good sized comfortable family room with king sized bed and bunks for the children. Restaurant food delicious but pricey.
