Travellers describe Sólheimahjáleiga Guesthouse as a scenic, quiet farm stay conveniently placed for South Coast sights, with warmly welcoming staff, generally clean and comfortable rooms, and a popular included breakfast that helps start days of exploring.
Rooms are often small, with some larger family options, and a few guests report stuffy or overly warm spaces due to limited ventilation or windows that don't open widely. Facilities include multiple clean shared bathrooms and an appreciated on-site restaurant and bar, though access to a shared kitchen varies by building and can feel limited. Several reviews note memorable Northern Lights viewing from the property. Expect a cozy countryside base with straightforward comforts.

Nous avons séjourné une nuit dans ce guesthouse, dans la partie salle de bain commune. Rien a redire. Chambres spacieuse, literie correcte. Il y a un lavabo dans la chambre. Un petit bemol pour la cuisine commune qui est minuscule. Il manquait clairement de la place, de la vaisselle et des services pour le nombre de personnes qui utilisent cet endroit.

Pictures here need updating. Farm Stays since 1984; they've got it right. Rooms in the new building are small but efficient.......they reminded me of stables for size and shape: beds and showers great, no complaints. Lovely small bar and great food for evening meal. Warm and friendly staff.

This place was only about 10 km from Vik…and cheaper than Vik options. You do have shared bathrooms, but it is very clean with a full shared kitchen if you want to cook your own meals. This is a working farm with chickens, goats and sheep. The lamb for dinner is from the farm and simply prepared. It was the best food item I had my entire trip. Staff was incredibly friendly. Service with a smile. My favorite stay in Iceland.

Must take shoes off when entering. The WiFi password is within a picture frame on the wall at the entrance, and we couldn’t log on until we figured out those aren’t ohs; they are zeros. And that’s not an 8; it’s a B. The bathroom floor is old and the tiles just don’t get clean. Give the hot water some time. But we liked the place. The cafeteria was a nice place to eat. The bed was comfortable.

I had private bathroom. I’m not sure each room has at least the shower. Breakfast is included and it was good. Staff is working very hard.

We stayed there for two nights during our trip. The first room was good. Altough we only got a smal electric heater, it was warm and we could dry our clothes. The second night we stayed at another room (we werent 2 days in a row there). Furniture etc was fine, but we saw mold in the corners. The window isnt the biggest and wont open wide, so thats a problem. Our room turned into a sauna because of this. Breakfast was fine, staff was friendly.

Our family of 5 had a large and comfortable upstairs room at the guest house. It had a nice view of the countryside off of a small balcony. It slept 5 comfortably. The staff were pleasant and the breakfast was included and had a small variety of options that was a good size for the number of guests. The goats next door on the farm were very cute. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Rooms were small but satisfactory. Bathrooms and showers were down the hall, to be shared with other guests. They were very clean and kept up. I would have liked bathrobe provided for walking to bathroom at night. Our room was extremely hot. And stuffy... heater was unplugged and we couldn’t open the window. We had dinner there. It was very good. Breakfast very good, also. Staff friendly and helpful.

The breakfast staff and food options were excellent. I love the property and the shared bathrooms were plentiful and very clean. We did have a communication issue the day we checked in. We were due to arrive around 8:30 pm so I called that afternoon to make sure the restaurant would be open and again at 8 pm and both times no answer. We didn’t find out it was closed until it was too late to go anywhere else. After explaining that to the gentleman at the front desk, he just shrugged his shoulders and said an email was sent out to all the guests about it, but we never received that email. We picked this place specifically for the restaurant so it was a big disappointment. I feel like we could have been offered something to purchase, as it is a farm. There is a shared kitchen, if you take your own food. Always carry snacks in Iceland, just in case.

Do NOT book this property through Exp*di@. It’s a nice place to stay, but now that you have found it, PLEASE do yourself a favor and book directly with them. Exp*di@ will not, under any circumstances, share your e- mail addy or ph0ne # with the property and so the Guesthouse staff literally have no way to send you the check-in instructions. Since they are a small property, the place is not staffed 24/7 and the front desk closes at 10p. We got delayed on the road and so would be arriving closer to 11p and realized we had no way to get the key other than message them through Exp*di@ and hope that they got our message. But Exp*di@ blocked out the e- mail address I sent, and my international phone plan did not let me text them (for some reason). It was a disaster and we almost had no place to stay. Now - the Guesthouse is not brand new to this and should have messaged us through Exp*di@ as soon as we booked to let us know of this limitation and how to contact them, and they did not, which is why I took off a star. The room itself was small and stuffy, with an extremely soft bed, but it was an OK place to spend a night. The location was the best part as it got us closer to destinations along the South Coast. The breakfast was extremely disappointing and you should plan on finding food somewhere else in the morning. But with all that said, I’d stay here again if I needed a place to stay in the area and I booked with the Guesthouse DIRECTLY.

Very cute rooms with everything we needed. Comfortable, quiet, and warm place to sleep. There were sustained 50mph winds outside when we were there, but inside you could not tell. No drafts or creaking windows. Blackout curtains worked well (essential for summer). Hearty breakfast was a nice bonus. Staff gave helpful guidance on where to watch out for bad weather while driving. Location is perfect place to stay near the black sand beaches. We were glad we did not stay any further towards Vik because a few minutes past this place is a big hill that we would not have wanted to drive over in extreme weather.

Loved staying here. The property was relatively remote so I could see the northern lights from here. Beautiful property, clean and well-cared for space, and breakfast was fresh and tasty.

This was a great stay. This property was about 10 miles from the black sand beach and a few more miles from Vik. It is located at the base of a big mountain/glacier and is just about a mile off the main highway. The main building was very nice and the check-in process was quick and easy. The staff was very nice. Our room was for four people and had a private bathroom and shower. Most of the other rooms had shared bathrooms. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. The breakfast was buffet-style and was very good with a variety of sliced meats, cheeses, yogurt, cereal, breads, coffee, and tea. The property was very quiet and had 5 cute goats near the guest building.

Lovely, cozy place to stay while visiting the south coast. A convenient location between Vik and glacier tour meet points, and nearby waterfall viewing. Location is beautifully located. Staff was welcoming. Breakfast was lovely with bread, jam, porridge, fruit, etc.

Very nice location. It’s in a farm. Very pretty view. It’s very close to the glacier hiking, meuseums, waterfall and the plane wreck.

The room was comfortable and clean. The location of the guesthouse was perfect as a halfway point for my travels. Located close enough to the main road for convenience but still private and quiet.

Dining
Breakfast earns frequent praise for variety and quality. The on-site restaurant is widely enjoyed for dinner, though it may be closed at times or feel pricey for families.

Clean and decent size room. Staff was friendly with smiles. Bed was comfortable and the blanket was soft and warm. Nice common area with fridge, microwave, tea kettle and toilet. I had private bathroom. I’m not sure each room has at least the shower. Breakfast is included and it was good. Staff is working very hard.

The breakfast staff and food options were excellent. I love the property and the shared bathrooms were plentiful and very clean. We did have a communication issue the day we checked in. We were due to arrive around 8:30 pm so I called that afternoon to make sure the restaurant would be open and again at 8 pm and both times no answer. We didn’t find out it was closed until it was too late to go anywhere else. After explaining that to the gentleman at the front desk, he just shrugged his shoulders and said an email was sent out to all the guests about it, but we never received that email. We picked this place specifically for the restaurant so it was a big disappointment. I feel like we could have been offered something to purchase, as it is a farm. There is a shared kitchen, if you take your own food. Always carry snacks in Iceland, just in case.

Perfectly located for us being close the Skogar area hiking that we explored. Especially pleased that there was a restaurant for dining and did not have to go searching for any after a long day of hiking. Accommodations and amenities were top notch.

Pictures here need updating. Farm Stays since 1984; they've got it right. Rooms in the new building are small but efficient.......they reminded me of stables for size and shape: beds and showers great, no complaints. Lovely small bar and great food for evening meal. Warm and friendly staff.

Établissement de très bonne qualité, extrêmement propre et avec beaucoup de charme. Les espaces communs (douche, wc, cuisine) sont très bons. Bien situé près de Vik (quelques kilomètres) et de Dyrolahey et ses colonies de macareux. Petit déjeuner compris, de qualité (avec du monde à l’ouverture, on fait la queue au buffet…) Petit bémol : le restaurant est assez cher, et le menu pas forcément adapté pour des enfants.
