What guests think
At Gesthus Selfoss, guests highlight cozy, well-equipped cabins with kitchens, friendly staff, and a convenient base near Selfoss for road trips, while feedback also notes occasional Wi-Fi drop-offs and maintenance or hot tub availability issues.
Many appreciate the value for money, quiet setting, and proximity to supermarkets and town services. Rooms vary in size and condition, and while many found them clean, several noted bathroom odors, mold, or a pest incident, plus a few comments about heating, radiator noise, or lack of blackout blinds. Expect simple, practical cabins suited to self-catering stays and short stopovers.

We stayed in the Hvummar cabin and it was lovely! Spacious rooms (one with 2 twin beds and one with an queen bed), bathroom, living room, kitchen/dining area plus a large deck with a dining area, a grill, and a private hot tub. We enjoyed watching the birds and visiting with the neighborhood cat. The attached camp ground (for campers and tents) filled quickly, as there was a soccer tournament next door. The property is quite close to the Selfoss food hall, although we didn’t go. We went to the nearby Bonus for groceries and to the liquor store in the same parking lot for a few beers and cooked our own dinner and breakfast. We would definitely stay here again - and hope to do so again soon!

Unfortunately, Gesthus Selfoss was under maintenance, so they transferred us to Bella Apartments. Everything was nice, but as we were expecting a hot tub at Gesthus Selfoss, there is not one at Bella hotel so we were slightly disappointed.

Gesthus Selfoss is actually a fairly large (& popular !) campsite for tents, RV's and of course cabins (which we rented). The cabin was comfortable, clean and for us (we had a rental car) very conveniently located. If we wanted to, we could have prepared meals (has 2-burner range, fridge, etc.) By the way, Selfoss is a very nice town and not far (15km) from the Kerið Crater Lake. Do book early because Selfoss is a popular stop for Golden Circle travelers. Two excellent restaurant experiences for us were: 'BK Bakari' in the morning (coffee, made on site breads, pastries, sandwiches) and 'Tryggvaskali' for dinner (amazing food & service; put a reservation in place)

We stayed in Hof Cottage. Within the first hour, we found a bed bug in our room. It was horrendous and made the rest of our stay uncomfortable. We were luckily given another house for the night, but it was inconvenient. Our vacation was ruined after that with the lasting thought of bed bugs lingering in our luggage. Take the high praise of this location with a grain of salt. You never know what you may find. We would not recommend staying here to our friends or family despite having high hopes.

The cabin we stayed in was alright for a family of 3 for one night, but I could imagine it being very cramped for more people or longer stay. There's a small kitchenette, but it's hard to do any cooking due to the tight space. We were feeling lucky to have the cabin to stay though looking at the camping tents right outside our window as it was raining very hard throughout the night.

それぞれ部屋ごとに建物が別れており、静かなプライベート空間がとてもよかったが、暖房の効きが悪く寒かった。密閉されているため、料理をしたら、焦がしたわけではないのに、火災報知器がなってしまった。また、調理器具の種類が少なめで、トイレが少し臭うなど、あまりよくないところもあったが、値段を考えるといいホテルだと思う。

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.

Gesthus Selfoss is actually a fairly large (& popular !) campsite for tents, RV's and of course cabins (which we rented). The cabin was comfortable, clean and for us (we had a rental car) very conveniently located. If we wanted to, we could have prepared meals (has 2-burner range, fridge, etc.) By the way, Selfoss is a very nice town and not far (15km) from the Kerið Crater Lake. Do book early because Selfoss is a popular stop for Golden Circle travelers. Two excellent restaurant experiences for us were: 'BK Bakari' in the morning (coffee, made on site breads, pastries, sandwiches) and 'Tryggvaskali' for dinner (amazing food & service; put a reservation in place)

Fine room to overnight. Clean. We did not have any Wi-Fi. We told the host and he tried to restart, but we were still not able to connect. It is in a very good aera for tourists and attracktions and Selfoss is a nice smal town with places to eat.

Este lugar tiene todo lo que necesitas durante tu recorrido por Islandia. La habitación es confortable con cocina y utensilios apropiados para que cocines lo que quieras que es lo recomendado ya que entrar a un restaurante normalmente te tardará más tiempo y la comida es bastante costosa (25 dólares por persona por comida aproximadamente de tipo básico). La amabilidad de las personas es estupenda. Hay disponibilidad de pagar tu desayuno en el lugar y está caminando a 300 metros de la piscina pública de selfoss que recomendamos totalmente para descansar antes de dormir (está abierta hasta las 9:30pm). El supermercado bonus que es uno de los mejores por si relación calidad/precio está también a 400 metros por lo que te queda muy bien! Volveríamos sin dudarlo!

We stayed in the Hvummar cabin and it was lovely! Spacious rooms (one with 2 twin beds and one with an queen bed), bathroom, living room, kitchen/dining area plus a large deck with a dining area, a grill, and a private hot tub. We enjoyed watching the birds and visiting with the neighborhood cat. The attached camp ground (for campers and tents) filled quickly, as there was a soccer tournament next door. The property is quite close to the Selfoss food hall, although we didn’t go. We went to the nearby Bonus for groceries and to the liquor store in the same parking lot for a few beers and cooked our own dinner and breakfast. We would definitely stay here again - and hope to do so again soon!

Ottima posizione per visitare il circolo d’oro e la parte sud dell’isola, in meno di due ore si raggiunge la spiaggia nera. Facilita’ di parcheggio, facilita’ di accordare il late check in. Dotazione di base ottima, c’e’ tutto per cucinare, nei pressi molto supermarket aperti fino alle 21

This tiny cabin had everything you may need for the night (frying pan in good condition (better that few houses we stayed in:), pan, kettle, spatula, olive oil, even hair dryer). Heating system is awesome, warms up the cabin very quickly. Everything was very clean too. Loved it!!!

Great stay and they had everything needed. The service was very nice as well. Cooked a little dinner in our room, showered and slept. It was perfect for our needs.

Gesthus Selfoss is actually a fairly large (& popular !) campsite for tents, RV's and of course cabins (which we rented). The cabin was comfortable, clean and for us (we had a rental car) very conveniently located. If we wanted to, we could have prepared meals (has 2-burner range, fridge, etc.) By the way, Selfoss is a very nice town and not far (15km) from the Kerið Crater Lake. Do book early because Selfoss is a popular stop for Golden Circle travelers. Two excellent restaurant experiences for us were: 'BK Bakari' in the morning (coffee, made on site breads, pastries, sandwiches) and 'Tryggvaskali' for dinner (amazing food & service; put a reservation in place)

The room was good condition near a nice camping area. There is a laundry machine in the common area. The nice restaurants are at 5 minutes driving distance.

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.
