What guests think

Hotel Hjardarbol offers a friendly, farm-style stay with welcoming staff and dogs, relaxing hot tubs, simple rooms, and useful common areas; many guests appreciate the quiet, rural setting near Selfoss and easy access to Golden Circle sights.

Shared bathrooms can be too few, leading to waits, and cleanliness of these areas varies. Rooms range from cozy and spacious to small and noisy, with thin walls and some maintenance needs noted; private-bath options exist. Expect a sociable stopover with relaxing soaks rather than full-service hotel comforts.

Mysigt litet ställe med närhet till fina löprundor och resturang viking. Fanns hottub och sängarna var sköna. På minus var att det bara fanns en toalett och dusch och det gick knappt att spola i den toaletten.

Very first time in a hostel type hotel. I booked a room with a 'small bathroom' heads up - that means there's a tiny sink in the room, you still share a shower/bathroom down the hall. Small kitchen to use and 2 bathrooms on the main floor. We got there and used the hot tubs had wine right away after a long day. Bring your own food so we snacked, showered before other guests arrived and made it an early night. It can get a bit noisy with other guests arriving, some making dinner etc. over all we planned it well. Breakfast option to purchase - there is common room to eat in and it was very comfortable, we had brought food a toaster was provided, games and TV in the common room.

Several nice buildings. But not very sound proof (could hear people in the bedroom next door). Comfy and clean. Two hot tubs: one at 38C and one at 41C. So cool. Room to have your meals, and breakfast in case you don’t want to pay for it: hot water, coffee, cutlery, plates.

Check in was ok. No bodywash provided. Lot of bugs, no window screens. It was known that bathroom were shared but the ratio was not mentioned, so it was 6 rooms sharing 2 washrooms, which was a real inconvenience.

Some repairs are needed such as doors difficult to shut and bed frame squeaky though otherwise beautiful peaceful place, cute friendly staff including the fluffy dogs, had a nice stroll down a horse path which was lovely, the shower was nice and hot and the kitchen and fridge were nice. The hot pool area is clean and pleasant. I hear they continue to remodel a few rooms at a time so I expect this will only keep improving.

J’ai testé ce lieu avec 2 enfants pensant qu’il serait bien pour une famille … mais surprise que la SdB avec WC soit commune d’une part (ce n’était pas explicite dans le descriptif hotelss.com) et partagée avec 3 chambres soit 9 personnes … donc des sanitaires assez sales et une chambrée a bloqué l’accès 1h20 à 19h et idem le lendemain matin à 8h … Pas top pour aller aux toilettes ! Autre point négatif, j’ai demandé à faire un lavage de linge … normal dans une guesthouse ou hôtels mais là comme par hasard la machine venait d’être lancée pour la journée … donc pas vraiment sympa ! Dommage car le lieu etait plutôt bien placé et les chambres correctes

Le gros plus c’est la surprise d’apprendre qu’il y a un bain chaud extérieur très agréable après une grosse journée.
