Our room was very spacious and comfortable. We were greeted by a friendly person and made arrangements for a great dinner. The breakfast, which was included, was very good with many choices. I would definitely stay here again.

Location was really good if you have a car, very quite place with lots of nature surounding, only around 10 min by car to reach black beach, and also around 10 min to reach Vik town. The apartment was very bright and had nice view to the distant black beach. Parking was easy and always avalable. Rain shower was relaxing and nice.

Cozy town tucked against a black sand beach with beautiful mountainous terrain and multiple viewpoints and other attractions within short driving distance. Definitely a town everyone should stop in when they are visiting Iceland.

Must try black crust pizza.
Must try black crust pizza. The lookout point at Dyrhólaey panoramic views, don't miss it and of course the Black Sand beach. To visit the crashed US plane, either we can walk for 3 hours (both ways) or take shuttle which will cost ISK3000 per person.

Vik is a picturesque gem tucked along the country's stunning south coast! Reynisfjara Beach is easily accessible, where black sand meets crashing waves with towering basalt columns as the backdrop. The wind can get too strong which makes a part of the beach dangerous (sneaker waves warning), but it is still well worth visiting. The town is charming with cozy cafes (try the black crust pizza!), the locals are warm and welcoming. This town is the perfect location to embrace the opportunity to disconnect and immerse yourself in Iceland's raw beauty.

We stayed in Vik for 3 days. Totally loved it.
We stayed in Vik for 3 days. Totally loved it. It is quite a small town, but has a big supermarket (kronan), a really great quality hiking clothes/supplies store, plus a number of cafes and places to eat. We recommend Sudur Vik Restaurant especially.
We did the Katla Track ice cave tour which was amazing and left from Vik!! Also recommend Icelandic Mountain Guides Snowmobile tour - meeting point 25 mins drive from Vik. Black Sand beach is great, as is local open air pool.
We stayed in the Vik hotel which is fabulous, but as we were there for three days, I would have preferred an apartment. The hotel also operates the Vik Apartments (which I hadn't realised before I booked) - they look really good.

We based our family of 5 in Vik to explore the southern coast over 3 nights with our rental car. We found it easier to have one base rather than a different hotel each night.
We visited the Skogafoss Waterfall, Black Sand Beach, YODA caves, gorge hike, Glacier walk at Skaftafell and then onto the Glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach.
We didn’t eat out as it was expensive for what appeared average food so we went to the local supermarket and cooked back at our self catered apartment.
Vik offers lots of adventure based companies who organise tour and expeditions.
This is a beautiful little apartment, really quiet and remote area which would be perfect for seeing northern lights (if forecast). The apartment itself was lovely, plenty room for cooking and space to store luggage, dirty boots and jackets etc. And the bed is big and comfortable. It’s the perfect location for traveling the south coast, and only 10 min drive from Vìk. Hosts were great, always quick to respond to messages. If we visit Iceland again, we would definitely stay again!
This was an extraordinary stylish and beautiful hostel. My daughter and I stayed in a room with 6 bunkbeds. The showers and bathrooms were spotless. There was a small bar and you could purchase coffee and baked goods for breakfast. We didn't cook but they had a great kitchen for those who prefer to carry and make their own meals. The location was excellent on the same road as one of the most famous black sand beaches in Iceland.
Located just 10min from Viki and the amazing Black Sand beach in a peace and quiet this place was absolute amazing. Little small but very cozy, and very comfortable.beds, in the kitchen we had everything we needed, fresh towels. Perfect place to stay in south of Iceland as many amazing places are to see and what's the bonus we got to see the aurora just from our balcony one night which was an unforgettable experience
Lovely location. great friendly staff! lovely Breakfast with Smoked Salmon fish! a MUST stay!!!!! Our best time among all hotels in Iceland. This is a PROPER hotel with masks and sanitizers for guests. Extremely clean. The room we got, seemed as if we were 1st guests. Nice bathrooms. Very very accessible to Vik, the crashed air plane and the Black beach (Reynisfjara).
It was a usual basic guesthouse in Iceland. Close to Vik about 8-10 min drive. Instructions were very clear. Kitchen was well equipped. There are enough tables & chair for 12 people & nice couch as well. The room is quite big if we compare other places we stayed. Beds were comfortable. The old viking house; horses & gang of sheeps are great bonuses.
It was quiet and tranquil but over-priced. The internet was spotty the bathroom was meh and the amenities non existent (at this price point of $280 a night, there should be shampoo and conditioner in the shower and multiple pillows and extra blankets. We have been all over Iceland - I have had much better value in the country’s 2 star hotels.
The facility of the Guesthouse is excellent. We were so lucky to get a "very very budget price" to rent this excellent guesthouse at Vik.
The lady owner is very nice. She prepared waffle batter for us for the morning breakfast. She also provided homemade jam for us.
This is the best Guesthouse during our stay at Iceland.
The hotel is well located between Reykjavík and Jokusarlon glacier lagoon and few minutes to Reynisfjara beach and Dyrholaey beach where we were able to watch puffins. The rooms have a beautiful view (glacier or beaches). Big room. Good breakfast. Inclusive Iceland’s bread. No fees for parking.
Location is perfect: quiet but also very close to Vik and Black Beach. Room is spacious and has a lot of storage space for the luggage. The parking is just at the door of your room which is perfect in rainy weather (that is very often in Iceland).
I had a brief stay at Hotel Katla in Vik, Iceland. The room was clean and spacious, and it's conveniently located, just a 5-minute drive from Vik. I didn't have the chance to use their facilities, but the breakfast was both ample and delicious.
The rooms are a good size and comfortable. If noise bothers you, ask for a room at the end of the corridor. All hotels in Iceland have the same noise problem: neighbors slam the door when closing it. There is a market nearby.
One of the best host in Iceland. If you traveling to Vik a Must have as a Gesthouse.
We did get a lot of recommadtions and tips for our travel. The Host was super friendly and we Could easyly Talk over everything. 10/10
Everything, very comfortable modern hotel, fantastic breakfast with lots of options, accommodated request for extra pillows, beautiful view. Restaurant for dinner was one of our best meals in Iceland. Quick, easy check in.
Ideally located hotel in Vik as a stop over so that one can visit beautiful south of Iceland. Clean room and helpful staff. Recommended. Good breakfast. One of the black sand beaches is within walking distance.
Breakfast was slightly better than most hotels we stayed at in Iceland but still average. The location was convenient. Checkin was easy and smooth. The parking lot was nearly full when we visited.
This was our favorite hotel of our entire trip to Iceland. The jacuzzi was great, the location was quiet, the rooms are beautiful, staff is friendly, and we enjoyed our dinner immensely.
Perfect location for an overnight stay in Vik. Nice location next to some stores. Dont expect too much, it covers the basics you need on a round trip in Iceland.
