Guests repeatedly highlight thoughtful touches such as alerts for Northern Lights and helpful local tips. Common tradeoffs include no in-room kettle or fridge, and most cabins lack a TV; a few reported temporary Wi-Fi issues in the units. Expect a serene, well-run stay focused on comfort, scenery, and homemade food.

Good stay. Staff was very nice. We wish there was electric kettle in the room to make tea at night. Coffee machine at the dining area was a bit far to walk at night in the cold and rain. BF was good.

We absolutely loved this property! The isolated cabins with the privacy wall around the entrance was appreciated. While we stayed, we were lucky enough to see the northern lights. Staff took the time to come around and knock on our doors to let us know! Although we already we outside when she came around, we’d set up our camera and we looking in the wrong direction. Really appreciate her coming around to make sure we saw it if we wanted to. Breakfast was included and was a great way to start the day. Clubhouse stays open late if you’d like a hot drink before bed. Staff were nothing but friendly and helpful.

This review is from 18 September 2024. We choose this place due to its proximity to Vestrahorn and estahorn, 20 mins drive to each. It consists of several cabins which are essentially mini studio apartments with outdoor seating and car parking. There are mountain views in all directions, and two sides of the cabins have patio doors so that it is theory possible to view the northern lights from inside. The cabins were cozy, beautifully decorated and clean, as was the bathroom. Wifi was available and speed adequate. There was no kettle nor fridge inside, but free tea and coffee was available in the dining area in a separate building. Breakfast was included and was delightful buffet consisting of homemade delicacies such as bread, cake and skyr, and other locally sourced produce. We throughly enjoyed it. Hrafnavellir guest house is a small family run business who ran the guest house with passion and offered all their guests very warm welcomes, and did their best to make our stays the best possible. They gave us information about the local area, and also ran to our cabins to inform us when they saw northern lights! We were very grateful for that! I would definitely stay here again.

The guest house was modern, clean and comfortable. Semi private decks are nice for viewing a sunrise. I spent some time taking in the morning view and listening to the ocean in the distance along with nearby sheep. I only wish I had a nice hot coffee and pastry to go with it. There is no in room coffee maker and you have to schedule a time if you want to take part in the included breakfast. We passed on setting a time because we weren't sure what time we would be ready after arriving late.

The guesthouses are beautiful and quite spacious. Good black out blinds and comfy beds. It was a nice treat to have shampoo, conditioner and shower gel from an Icelandic company. Breakfast was SO GOOD. My favourite was the skyr, and my partner loved the tuna salad. The wifi in the guesthouses was down at the time of our visit, but was working in the lounge/common area. It wasn’t a major issue for us because I had data on my phone, and we were just exhausted, but for the price I would have expected a price reduction or a “gift” to make up for the lack of wifi.

Beautiful, clean, comfortably sized, quiet guest houses. Hosts were very accommodating and gave good information regarding things to do. Location was great for our travel plans. Would recommend a shower curtain or enclosed shower stall (hard to find anywhere in Iceland!!), and a fan for the sleeping area. Light-blocking curtains (necessary!) made the room warm for sleeping. Opening the window was problematic because of the never-ending daylight.

This is the best place we have stayed on our trip! Wish we could have spent more time here. The owner was so kind and welcoming. The rooms are beautiful and very clean. The beds are comfortable. Breakfast is a traditional Icelandic breakfast. It was great. They also have an awesome coffee machine. If you like dogs they also have the cutest puppy. Meeting her was a highlight of our trip.

In a nice remote area outside Hofn. Accommodations were excellent and the view was relaxing and amazing. Was here in summer but this place must even be more beautiful during winter- great place to see the northern lights. You do need to drive several km to get to town for dinner ( or best to get dinner before checking in) but if you want to relax and be within the the beautiful landscape of the East fjords, this is the place for you. The breakfast included consists of both homemade and store bought goodies. It was a wonderful overnight stay during our 2 week trek around Iceland Felt the warmth and the hospitality of our host.

Best of all the family that runs the guest house is welcoming and informative. The breakfast they serve was so good. I could take an entire container home of the skyr yogurt! I would stay again.

We enjoyed relaxing on the back deck and enjoying the peaceful view at the end of our day. The breakfast buffet was bountiful and we appreciated the hosts sharing the information about the local delicacies. The baked goods were delicious, and the skyr was the best in Iceland! And Magic’s puppy kisses were an added bonus!!

You do need to drive several km to get to town for dinner ( or best to get dinner before checking in) but if you want to relax and be within the the beautiful landscape of the East fjords, this is the place for you. The breakfast included consists of both homemade and store bought goodies. It was a wonderful overnight stay during our 2 week trek around Iceland Felt the warmth and the hospitality of our host.

This review is from 18 September 2024. We choose this place due to its proximity to Vestrahorn and estahorn, 20 mins drive to each. It consists of several cabins which are essentially mini studio apartments with outdoor seating and car parking. There are mountain views in all directions, and two sides of the cabins have patio doors so that it is theory possible to view the northern lights from inside. The cabins were cozy, beautifully decorated and clean, as was the bathroom. Wifi was available and speed adequate. There was no kettle nor fridge inside, but free tea and coffee was available in the dining area in a separate building. Breakfast was included and was delightful buffet consisting of homemade delicacies such as bread, cake and skyr, and other locally sourced produce. We throughly enjoyed it. Hrafnavellir guest house is a small family run business who ran the guest house with passion and offered all their guests very warm welcomes, and did their best to make our stays the best possible. They gave us information about the local area, and also ran to our cabins to inform us when they saw northern lights! We were very grateful for that! I would definitely stay here again.

Unique isolated private cabins which were clean and roomy. Wonderful light breakfast served on property which was very convenient. Great access to East Fjords and Hofn areas.

Hrafnavellir Guest House was one of the highlights of my trip! Great location - isolated enough for a quiet retreat yet accessible to what Iceland’s South Coast has to offer. The breakfast was specially prepared with traditional Icelandic items. I stayed for the traditional dinner too and encourage you to do the same! The owners are charming and very helpful. 10 stars!

Dejligt ophold og fantastisk udsigt. Rigtig venligt host-par der altid stod til rådighed. Lækker morgenmad og gratis the/kaffe hele dagen. Ligger små 20 min fra Hofn, som er en hyggelig lille by med gode spisesteder.

The property is otherworldly and located in a beautiful, natural setting that is just stunning. The owners are wonderful and breakfasts are great. We will definitely go back. While it is in an isolated area, it is only a 20 minute drive to Hofn where there are many excellent restaurants.

This was a special find! A family run guesthouse with only family members as employees, and a separate “house” (back in attached photo) for each guest. Super friendly and informative. The wife is an artist with a small gallery in the common house (where breakfast and dinner is served; front and right in attached photo). Located about 20 min outside/east of Hofn. We truly enjoyed our stay here and appreciated the privacy, the view, and the company at the common house. We will return on our next trip. Highly recommend!

Very friendly, helpful and accommodating hosts. We appreciated the warm welcome when we arrived late after a long day of hiking. The rooms were very comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed relaxing on the back deck and enjoying the peaceful view at the end of our day. The breakfast buffet was bountiful and we appreciated the hosts sharing the information about the local delicacies. The baked goods were delicious, and the skyr was the best in Iceland! And Magic’s puppy kisses were an added bonus!!

I loved the little touches Erin had in the room. Wall mounted, good soap etc in shower. Wall mounted USB outlets, fast free WiFi, very comfy bed, room heated quickly. A pleasant surprise was waking up to the sound of a baa-ing sheep outside. Breakfast was a homemade feast! (Esp smoked lamb!). Rock collections were fascinating. Also, we didn’t arrive until 10:00 pm and she was still pleasant. We look forward to returning!!

This is the best place we have stayed on our trip! Wish we could have spent more time here. The owner was so kind and welcoming. The rooms are beautiful and very clean. The beds are comfortable. Breakfast is a traditional Icelandic breakfast. It was great. They also have an awesome coffee machine. If you like dogs they also have the cutest puppy. Meeting her was a highlight of our trip.

We arrived during a rainy and extremely windy night. We had booked in the area hoping to see the Northern Lights, but the weather wasn't cooperating. We did find a nicely appointed room - clean and well furnished, and very nice bathroom. Our host was quite friendly and helpful. Breakfast was incredible with family recipe Skyr, homemade jams, freshly baked breads, locally sourced smoked salmon, and other items that were all delicious. We departed that morning, stunned by the natural beauty of the area that we weren't able to see in the stormy weather the night before. We would certainly love to spend more time there in better weather conditions.

100% loved the property and rental unit! The unit was clean and very useful for our one-night stay. The hosts were very friendly, helpful, and just so wonderful. The main building featured a warm gathering space. I would recommend this place to anyone staying around the Hofn area. If ever back, I will stay here again!
