8/10 Very good

The room was far from the parking lot and a bit small for four adults. The breakfast restaurant felt crowded compared to the number of guests. The staff was very friendly.

This guesthouse was very nice. They have a wonderful restaurant with a free breakfast. Our little bungalow was great and clean and comfortable.
Shawn, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very expensive for what it was, but very comfortable.
Luke, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly staff which seems to be a common trait for Iceland. Cabin was small but extremely clean and bright and comfortable. Same for the bathroom. Included breakfast was served in a very pretty small sunroom type restaurant. The breakfast was of high quality although it didn’t have as many choices as we saw other places. I don’t think there was any hot entree. Overall we were happy with our stay.
Sofia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cozy cabin that was very clean and beautiful property, too bad it rained the entire time of our visit. Had supper at the restaurant and it was excellent, also enjoyed the fresh baked bread for breakfast.

Quiet cottage

The cabin was surrounded by fields of grazing sheep. Beautiful setting! The room was very comfortable and clean. Great breakfast.

Very nice little wooden houses. Simple but nice and cosy.
Horst, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Guesthouse was clearly old but maintained. Ordered two single bed rooms and got a double room. Heat wasn’t working at the time (manager told us that they checked it and it was working). Rooms are very small and hot water runs out quickly. Breakfast was meager, some bread, fruits, veggies, and cereal. A bit overpriced in my opinion.
Catherine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The cabins we’re comfortable and located on an idyllic setting. The dinner was phenomenal (we had the lamb). It was the best meal on our trip! The breakfast was included and was cold choices but delicious. Would highly recommend!
Denise, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed one night here and loved the vibe & feel of the cabins. Staff were friendly & courteous. To top it off, I got to witness the start of Iceland’s ‘réttir’, which was truly amazing. The breakfast, however, was continental and basic compared to other hotels I stayed at during my 17-day trip to Iceland.

Charming cabins but overpriced. There's better value elsewhere.
Akash, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property is a little way off the Ring road, but very quiet. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was nice. They do serve dinner there,however we did not eat at the guesthouse.

10/10 Exceptional

Idyllic location and great restaurant

We have a wonderful stay at Hunkubakkar Guesthouse. The location is wonderful, across from what appears to be a working farm and just down the road from a gorge you can visit. We had a beautiful cottage that was clean, warm, and cozy. The best part of our visit was the dinner we had in the restaurant attached to the guesthouse--the best dinner we had in Iceland: local lamb, fish, and all three delicious desserts! The location was beautifully idyllic and we definitely want to return.

The cutest place to stay with wonderful Icelandic view! Close to the Canyon, to a small village and to other falls. Great check in. Restaurant on site. Clean. No TV, but who needs it there? WiFi is good too.

10/10 Exceptional

Highly recommend! Would definitely stay again

We had an amazing stay. The location is great for exploring the east coast of Iceland. The staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast was stellar and I highly recommend having dinner at the on-site restaurant- it’s delicious! My only complaint is the curtains weren’t blackout, so be warned if you’re staying in the summer when it’s still light at midnight. Other than that, the guesthouses and property are perfect.

10/10 Exceptional

Hunkubakkar Guesthouse is an absolutely little place where you will find adorable cabins to stay in. They are located in a meadow with trees around it, a field of sheep nearby and the sound of a small river/creek. The staff are all so kind and polite. I stayed in a triple room, which had three twin beds, a small bathroom and a table with chairs. The shower is quite small and someone slightly larger than me would have a very difficult time entering it. That being said, the rest of the cabin was super nice. There are a few outlets (three that I recall) in the main room. Breakfast was nothing to write home about. There were cereals, milk, juice, coffee, some bread, yogurt and meat and cheese. Something a little more substantive would be a great addition. I had dinner at the restaurant and it was quite good. I chose the three course meal with asparagus soup, lamb and apple cake. All were delicious! Highly recommend this adorable cabin style stop!

It was a nice day. Comfortable Kevin’s was a great view. At least one extra pillow on each bed would be great.

Chan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Kleines Holzhäuschen, sehr gemütlich, sehr sauber und für 3 Personen genug Platz. Personal war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir hatten vorher angerufen, weil wir regulären Check-In zeitlich nicht halten konnten. War alles unproblematisch und lief reibungslos. Frühstück war prima, etwas rustikal, aber genau passend. Möglichkeit im Restaurant zum Abendessen vorhanden. Kann das Guesthouse uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. In der Nähe liegt ein Canyon, der absolut sehenswert ist. Hatten diesen noch nach unserem Check-In aufgesucht und waren quasi alleine dort. Herrlich!
