Fljótsbakki Hotel

酒店離眾神瀑布很近，雖然外觀很樸素，但是房間內裝修很舒適，而且十分乾淨，空間也很大，酒店早餐也很不錯，十分推薦！這裏還有一衹很可愛的小貓，萌萌噠

Pros: - self check-in, which allows for late arrivals - location by Godafoss is excellent (can visit late or early before crowds) - breakfast staff very pleasant and offered custom coffee brews from machine - very clean and upkept room, chocolates in the coffee/tea station were a nice touch Cons: - smaller breakfast area and thus more limited offerings relative to larger properties - room is very simple from an amenities standpoint (i.e. fixtures are basic, small footprint with shower, no television, etc.) - one of our pricier stays relative to others during our Iceland visit; note the room will get charged prior to arrival Summary: Fljotsbakki is a very unique property in a remote area. It is a family run business with building and home conversion to a no-frills guestroom setup. Limited interaction with staff as well but they were pleasant during breakfast service. Note that even though they say it is a farm stay, there are few animals and it is set up like a typical accommodation setup. Main common area available other times if extra space needed. Fewer choices in the area, but knowing its simplicity it offers a decent overall value proposition.

If you're looking for a place that has the comforts of a hotel but also the feel of real rural Iceland, this is the place for you. The hotel rooms are built in an annex off the property's sheep barn, and the sheep wander all over. (There's also a friendly cat who hangs around.) I was told they no longer offer the evening dinner, apparently having gotten overburdened by guests not being respectful enough to reserve ahead of time, but they still offer a terrific free breakfast with a wide selection every morning. The owners will occasionally pop in during breakfast to chat with the guests. While there's no TV in the rooms, everything else is top notch, including a modern ensuite bathroom. The two-headed shower was confusing to turn on and there was a microscopically tiny spot you had to hit in order to get hot water, but it was spotlessly clean, with plenty of linens. The location is also great for those looking to get out into the north island countryside. The farm is literally right across the Ring Road from the famous Godafoss waterfall (as legend has it, the place where Christianity was officially accepted in Iceland) and less than an hour away from both Akureyri and the Lake Myvatn area. I would absolutely stay again if in the area.
