Guest reviews for Helgafell
"Wonderful location - excellent for viewing northern lights"
"The shower was small, but not horrible. While our car was fine on the road, the road to the house was a bit dicey in the snow."
"Amazing location where you are close to the nearby town but surrounded by nature. We had a great stay and the cabin had everything we needed."
"Aucun."
"Location! Expansive vista, quiet, far away from traffic. Also, as a non - Icelander but avid reader of the Icelandic Sagas, it was a privilege to stay in the very place where famous events took place, and where one of the most extraordinary Saga heroines may be buried."
"Aucun."
"Great location and nice accommodations. Would definitely stay again!"
"Nothing"
"Supremely peaceful location, quiet, yet not far from town. We appreciated having someone come over and show us how to lock the door, as we couldn't figure it out! There was a large selection of condiments. We're not dog lovers, but ti was hard to ignore the dog who seemed to have adopted us."
"Was very tough using the freezer for my meds because it hadn't been defrosted in a long time. Would be quick and easy to fix for the next guest."
"The remote location, the lake, horses The facility itself which is ideal if you like The small hike in Hellgafell"
"Nothing I could think of"
"The cabin is located on a peaceful little lake, near the Helgafell mountain, which takes 15 minutes to walk up to the top for a great view! Located 5-minute drive from the nearest town that has gas stations, grocery store, etc. The cabin was fully equipped for cooking - very comfortable and modern. We really enjoyed it!"
"Aucun."
"The location was remote, but that is what we were looking for. We stayed for 2 nights and used it as a base camp to explore the peninsula. There was a grocery store close, so definitely get food before you settle in for the evening. It was a hidden gem."
"Nothing"
"Amazing! Moli, the dog, is a great ambassador! Beautiful cabin, great location! Lara is an amazing hostess!"
"Aucun."
"Easy self check in, pretty close to town but don’t feel like it. We saw northern lights outside!"
"Aucun."

"Fantastic lodge with an unbelievable view and flair. All amenities are provided. Hosts are super responsive and ready to come by to solve any issue you might have. Heating and air conditioner available to heat or cool down."

"The kitchen! Even it was small, but super equipped! Top stove, oven (where we baked a few pizzas), dishwasher, coffee maker, fridge, toaster, pots and pans, a beautiful china… was amazing."
"Very nice small guest house. Check-in was clear and the owner lived right next-door. She was very helpful when some other guests didn’t know how to work the stove. The room was small, but clean, that was the shared bathroom. Having a kitchen to cook in was also great."
Sarah Guesthouse Rauðafell
"From the moment we stepped from our car we knew we were in for a treat. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Good assortment of snacks and drinks. Great collection of vintage furniture in an open welcoming space. For those who see beauty in the ordinary, or in this case, extraordinarily we appreciated everything the vocal performance of the hallway rug to the loon calls outside our window. That said we might suggest some earplugs to drown out the sounds of sweet dreams from your neighbors. Overall unique and charming, we had fun. Absolutely will be staying again."

"Great location in the beautiful small town of Seyðisfjörður. Excellent area for easy walking around town, and one of the few places where the hot water lacked the sulphury scent. We met the owner briefly while getting our luggage into the house who was very pleasant. In retrospect, I would have spent an extra day here to really take in the sights, but it turned out in our best interest since the snow was coming in and making the roads through the mountains slick."
"The Sauna is a pleasure. We used is every days The location is great - a sense of a real wilderness. With clear sky one night we could see the aurora really good (see images). It was also close to the ice and lava caves. The house is full of useful stuff - barbecue, food etc. It’s a genuine summer house used by the owner so the feeling is that you get an authentic experience"
"Loved the welcoming party of horses, very friendly yellow labs, and a cat as we drove down the driveway :-). It was an amazing spacious place for our family to stay. So nice to be able to cook for ourselves and do laundry and stay out in the country but close to town. One tip for future guests: we received from the hosts instructions for " filling up" the hot tub. The hot tub upon arrival was already full of water but not hot, so we were initially confused about what to do .If this is the case for you, still follow the given instructions to turn on the red taps (except possibly open only the hot tap not cold tap during the heating up period to speed things up). don't worry, the hot tub will not overfill, it will just add new hot water and drain excess water until it is the right temperature. (This may be an iceland-specific hot tub heating method due to the geothermal hot water source, not sure!)"
"Beautiful location. Cozy home that has been thoughtfully designed with everything we needed for our family of 4. We would stay here again."
