All around, we were unbelievably impressed with this stay. After spending a night in an extremely small hotel in Reykjavik, we were worried about what was to come. This Guesthouse completely changed our trip, and we purposely changed plans to be able to spend more time there. It was clean, very cozy, spacious, and had everything we could need in the kitchenette. Service was exceptional, and all around, the cabin was an excellent stay in all ways. I would highly recommend these guesthouses and campground to anyone staying near Selfoss or the Golden Circle.

Great cottage at a camp site

Great location near local amenities, it is also at the local camping site. Reasonably priced, condition may not be the most modern, but ok. There is breakfast served at the camp site restaurant at additional cost, but did not try.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed at 5 different places on our Iceland visit and Gesthus Selfoss was the best value BY FAR of all of them. Cabins were well appointed, fully functional, and comfortable. Nice little veranda with table/chairs. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was an extra charge but reasonable and nice. We ended up staying an extra night, on a weekend, and they found rooms for us.
