Stunning property with staff that goes above and beyond to give you the full boutique hotel experience! The location is great, close to many locations along the south coast. The restaurant on site was excellent, breakfast included had a great variety, we enjoyed everything we ate here for 2 nights! We had onsite massages that the staff pre-arranged for us before we arrived and enjoyed the onsite spa. One of the top hotels I have stayed at. I would recommend to anyone coming to Iceland. We were able to see the northern lights a short drive away from the hotel

Cozy, luxurious, and adventurous stay near Vik :)
Incredibly relaxing stay! We stayed here instead of busy Vik. It was near many things. We rode horses to the waterfall. We hiked around the area. We saw the aurora! The meals were delicious and the staff were so very friendly. The rooms and hotel have stylish and cozy decor. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Wonderful base for this part of Iceland
A great base for exploring south (southwestern) Iceland! Superb staff - friendly and professional - made the visit memorable beyond the spectacular landscape of Iceland. Food was excellent - occasionally a bit heavy but some dishes were extraordinary - the tomato consommé and the saffron risotto with pork cheeks

Amazing B&B! Rooms were big and comfortable, the property grounds were dreamy & the staff was nothing short then amazing.

6/10 Okay

Tomye

The chef was incredible. The food was amazing and exceptional. The bar had unique and delicious cocktails, as well as an acceptable wine list. However, the property is very isolated and has very few amenities. The experience will be weather dependent. If bad weather, you are in remote area and feel stuck with very little to do. Local tour companies do not pick up at property and you must drive to their base camp, we found it scary and a little dangerous driving back to property at night. I must empathize, the staff could not be more kind and accommodating with what they have to work with, so a very nice group of people.

Luxury manor with great food and Wes Anderson vibes. Located close to Vik and other southern Iceland attractions it’s the perfect place to stay for solo travelers and families. The breakfast was amazing.

Quaint and Classy
Immediately at check in we were greeted with warmth and helpfulness. He took time to give us a tour of the property and amenities while someone else brought our bags up to the room. Our room on the third dloor was beautiful with a balcony that overlooked the farm.

Adorable Inn, great location between Glacier Bay and Reykjavik near the Black Sand Beach. We stayed two nights. I rode the one hour ride to Irafoss while my husband hiked the gorgeous countryside. Very mountainous and multiple trail options. I wish I had chosen the longer ride as the ponies famous gait, the Tölt, is as smooth as silk and their horses were fabulous. Skálakot Manor is in a cute little valley with sheep, a couple houses and a church. Friendly place with lovely amenities. Great spa area with glass sliders that open up to view of the valley. I also got a great massage while there. Loved the food and at the end of the day they light a little fire upstairs in the sitting area. Heads up-don’t get the smallest room like we did. It is tiny w a minuscule bathroom.

We loved our stay at Skalakot Manor Hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly (exceeding expectations!). I loved the views from the front of the hotel. It was very easy to access from the main road. The food was very good. The only disappointment was that we didn't realize you had to pay separately to use the hot tub pictured in the listing. We only had a short time there, so opted not to pay for it, but that was a bummer. The shower in our room was excellent though!
