We had the absolute BEST time here in September! It was so charming, clean, comfortable, and the staff were incredible. The restaurant (breakfast 2x and dinner one night) were delicious with fresh options, and the sauna was perfect after a long day of exploring and being outside. Would absolutely stay here again!
Incredible stay at Skalakot manor! Very cozy boutique hotel with kind staff. Dinner was awesome with plenty of selection as well as breakfast in the morning. Has a sauna/spa area and horseback riding. Excellent area to view the northern lights!
Skalakot Manor was a gem surrounded by stunning scenery, and the most beautiful Icelandic horses
You really feel like you’re staying in someone’s home as a very special guest. The bedding was top-notch and the dining room food was fantastic. It is pricey, but very worth it.
And the staff is helpful, warm and welcoming. We can’t wait to stay there next time.
Lovely guesthouse off of the Ring Road in a quiet location, with a sauna. Great staff, very welcoming and so helpful - even though there isn't an elevator, they took our big suitcases up and down to the 2nd floor in the service elevator for us, and, let us start breakfast earlier when we needed to get an early start. We didn't use the sauna but it looked great! The bathroom was fairly small. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was rather extensive and tasty.

Beautiful, charming hotel. Loved our room overlooking the horses and the sunset. The staff (Victoria and crew, including the friendly chef), were wonderful. Don’t miss the spa, it’s included and was perfect after all day driving the Golden Circle.
Great hotel amazing service staff are so friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean. Restaurants are clean. The entire hotel is super clean I highly recommend this amazing place.
Very magical boutique hotel. The details in the common areas, the pleasantries of the staff and the views from the room. Incredible. Would definitely go back. Breakfast was excellent, very complete.
Charming boutique hotel with wonderful views, food, service and horses too. The restaurant for dinner is a treat and the full buffet breakfast fuels you for a day of glaciers, waterfalls and volcanic beaches:)
This property was a beautiful working horse ranch/farm. The staff was 5 star! Costas & Ms Alex took care of check in, front desk, waiters at dinner, bartenders who made delicious cocktails. They went out of their way to make my stay incredible. Ms Editaw in the morning was super pleasant with breakfast, good info about the area and property. I met her husband who is one of the fine chefs. They are putting out a quality menu at night and an excellent breakfast in the morning.
The property is beautiful as were the rooms. Indoor Sauna & Hot Tub made for a great way the end each day.
I would absolutely stay here again!
Thanks for a great stay! ROD
Highly recommend this hotel. The rooms are wonderful and the food in the restaurant is incredibly delicious. The option to go horse riding on the property is a great addition and so much fun. Great place to stop when driving back to Reykjavik from Diamond Beach.
Absolutely fantastic experience staying at Skálakot. Outstandingly friendly staff, Michelin level food, luxurious accommodations with a highly personal touch. Incredibly close to lots of famously draw dropping views and attractions
Skalakot is like an old world hotel. Gracious staff and beautiful accommodations. Best food we had during our 11 days in Iceland. Loved the horses there! A very special place!
