Ytri Sólheimar Hotels

"We stay there for 2 nights during the stormy days. the house is flood with water and shaking vigorously because of the wind. We try look for help but no one pick up the phone. The cottage is nice but not recommend on bad weather days"

"A beautiful and convenient final stop before heading back toward Reykjavík. This was one of the larger hotels we stayed in, but it still felt clean, welcoming, and well-managed. The front desk staff were kind and accommodating, offering coffee/tea while we waited and checking on our room status. Our room was clean and comfortable with spectacular views of the mountains and ocean. While slightly more dated (particularly the carpeting), it was still a pleasant stay overall. This was the night we finally experienced the Aurora Borealis—an unforgettable ending to the trip. While faint to the naked eye, they appeared beautifully through phone photos, and we could still see wispy, ribbon-like formations in the sky.The hotel is also well-located—about 2.5 hours from Reykjavík and close to Vik. We explored the town, dined at The Soup Company, and my family enjoyed the Icelandic Lava Show, which they said was incredibly informative. Breakfast was excellent with a wide variety and unbeatable views. A scenic, relaxing, and fitting end to an incredible trip."

"The Farmhouse Lodge is actually a few separate buildings. We stayed in Guesthouse Room #5 with our own private bathroom, which was huge. There are no staff members on the property so we followed a series of signs to go to the building where the keys were kept for “check-in.” An email in advance with instructions and what to expect would have been helpful. Our room was plenty big with a little seating area but there was an odd clicking noise from one corner over the bed and what looked like mold on the ceiling. There was no landline in the room so when we had a problem with the toilet, it took us a few minutes to get in touch with someone who could take care of it. They were very responsive and while we went to dinner in town, they fixed it. There wasn’t a refrigerator in our room but it was cold enough that night to keep our Black Crust Pizza leftovers in the car. It looked like there was a common area for breakfast but we decided to go straight to the black sand beaches and lighthouse and had brunch at Faxi Bakery. "

"The hotel was in a great location. We were able to walk to the black sand beach, little church in the hill, the soup kitchen where the lava show is. And we met our tour guide to the cave right across the street. "

"Excellent breakfast"

"What an interesting stay. We loved it. We stayed in the haytower. The place was so cool. They created a wonderful lodging out of an old building that in the late 30’s housed farm animals and upstairs kept hay for the livestock. It now has all the conveniences of home with kitchen,washer dryer, dishwasher,fridge,microwave, large tv. Upstairs has 2 twins with views of a waterfall as well as the coastline on the opposite side. Roomy shower. Fun stay. We could have stayed a week or more. Did not get to try out the hot tub. Next time.😊"

"Exactly as described. Easy to find and park. Beautiful clean rooms. Overall great!"

"Great views. Very nice breakfast."

"Property was good size and clean but was not as luxurious as shown in the pictures. Property had no view at all as it overlooked the main road and the supermarket car park on the other side of the road. Was very expensive for what it was but was fine for an overnight stay. However I would look for an alternative if staying in Vik in future. "
