2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2013 NEW

The hotel has two wings - the main building and an overflow part in the back - we came late and got rooms in the overflow part. In both rooms the showers didn't work - only boiling water came out followed by freezing water. Rooms had no WiFi coverage and the Internet in the lobby offered 1970s speed. And then... More

Nestled in the countryside this family owned and operated hotel is wonderful. The rooms are clean, comfortable and the staff is helpful. Stayed there with a group, which included meals, and everything was fantastic. A breakfast and dinner buffet was like home cooking and delicious!

Stayed here for one night on 7 April 2013. Family run hotel on working farm. Eldest daughter and mother looked after us very well. Lovely fried eggs for breakfast. Large room with wonderful view across the farmland to the sea. Thank you!

We ended up staying here after we were notified by the nearby guesthouse where we had reservations that they had a problem at their home and wouldn't be able to have us. They told us we could stay at Smyrlabjorg for the same price we had agreed on with them. Our room was clean and comfortable and we slept very... More

We were the only guests in this large country hotel, mid October(off season). The rooms and facilities were nice and being renovated to be even nicer. They opened the reatirant and made us a very nice dinner (we still could choose everything from the menu, but allowed the cook to suggest) very nice haddock with soup and salad. The rooms... More

We stayed here slightly out of season (beginning of Sept) so did not encounter any tour groups here and the evening buffet was not available. However the choices from the menu were fine, the rooms were ok and we found the staff to be very helpful, especially Birna who was manning reception and provided us with useful tips on sightseeing...

I really can't see how people are complaining about the food here - it was BY FAR the best of any guesthouse we stayed in. The breakfast was fairly average as it was basic oatmeal / bacon / eggs / sausage / cereal. But the dinner buffet was outstanding. They had 6 kinds of pate (including reindeer!) and various pastas,... More

This farm stay caters mostly to large groups. It was okay although our room was in a container. We had dinner in Höfn before arrival so cannot comment on their dinner buffet. We recommend checking with reception for when the tour buses finish breakfast and time it so you arrive after they have left. This was the first accomodation we... More
