We really enjoyed our stay in the gesthus. The cabin was really cosy, warm and clean. After spending several nights in hotels, it is a nice and welcome change. At night, we relaxed in the hot tub which the owner offered to prepare for us upon arrival. The owners are very friendly and interested in your travel plans and experiences.... More

Visiting in Feb 2013 with my 16yr son I was worried the wooden bungalows would be a bit chilly. I was pleasantly wrong. I even had to turn the radiator off a few times! Lovely hot water at all times. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable owners. Extremely clean, and in excellent location. Less than 1hr from capital and at a... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Gesthus Selfoss, having travelled from Reykjavik to Vik and then back, en route to Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Admittedly, before arriving there we were tempted to cancel having thought that there was little to do in the Selfoss region, and that we might be better off going back to R-vik for another night. I am so... More

Gesthus provides log cabin style accommodation, which is clean and comfortable. Cabins have a cooker and fridge so you can cook your own meals if you want. We just stayed for one night so just did the 15 minute walk into the centre of Selfoss to get something to eat. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and breakfast was... More

We stayed in Gesthus for a night and it was definitely a great choice! Gesthus offers both camping site and cabins at reasonable prices. We stayed at a cabin, which was very nice and spacious for my wife and myself and it had a convenient kitchenette! The cabin was clean and private and its bathroom had everything we needed. The...

I stayed at Gesthus for a week when I was in Selfoss for a conference. This meant I also saw the other accommodations available. Gesthus has a great rustic feel with all the modern conveniences. The wireless worked in all of the cabins, which is something that I haven't seen in many of the hotels I have stayed in. All... More

When I first drove up to Gesthus Selfoss, I thought I might be in the wrong place. There was an area for camping, and also what looked like cabins. I was at the right place, though. I checked in, and the front desk staff was very friendly. They provided maps for my itinerary the next day. You then drive back... More

We liked this place very much: very nice and helpful stuff, a quiet and beautiful location among trees and near nice pool. The cabin is very clean and well equipped with kitchen facilities for self catering. A good base for exploring the Golden Circle.

Selfoss is a village on the ring road. We left Reykjavik in the morning, did the Golden Circle tour on our own and arrived Selfoss to have dinner and rest. Our cottage was decent, cheap, no frills, had a comfortable double bed and a small kitchenette. It is a very good option if you are planning to get there in... More
