One of our highlights during our 2 day golden circle itinerary. You can do a walk around the crater's circumference and then walk down the steps to the lake itself. The slopes can be quite slippery, definitely wear proper footwear and walk carefully! We spent about an hour there near sunset.

This is a fantastic place for a short stop, he is everything you should know: 1. The cost for parking is about 4USD. Not bad for the hour you will spend there. 2. There are two trails. One goes around the rim of the crater, and the other takes you inside for a walk around the water. 3. You can't swim, you can't stand on the ice. 4. No drones, even though I saw people ignore this. 5. It's a pretty cool spot. Not as grand as many other places you can go to but it's a really easy destination to check off your list of things to see. Worth going at least once. Check out my photos to get a sense of the space.

A beautiful volcanic crater with a vivid blue-green lake at the bottom — the colours are incredible, especially against the red volcanic rock. It’s an easy stop right off the road and worth the small entrance fee. You can walk around the rim for great views and then head down the path to the water’s edge for a different perspective. It’s not a big site, so you don’t need a lot of time here, but it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

This is a must visit site, not far off the well trodden tourist route. I would suggest that you walk the circumference of the caldera to get views from the top and then descend to the pond at the bottom via the steps. There is a nice bench where you could rest and enjoy the setting.

Kerid Crater is a volcanic crater lake, not one formed by a meteorite impact. It’s only a short walk from the parking lot, and since the crater isn’t very large, it’s easy to explore quickly. Inside the crater lies a beautiful blue lake, and you can descend to it via a staircase. However, on the day I visited, it was so windy that I could barely stand, so I decided not to go down. On a clear day, though, descending the stairs and looking up from the bottom would no doubt offer a stunning view. Also, since some parts of the path are rocky and uneven, I highly recommend wearing hiking shoes rather than sneakers.

Worth a look if you've seen nothing like it before. You can hike the upper or lower ring. Make sure you have good shoes as the path is very uneven and slippery.

This crater was very beautiful and unique. The parking lot is somewhat small and it’s important to buy tickets when you get there to enter. You can hike around the crater and hike down to the bottom. I would say it’s a medium difficulty rating hike as there is a lot of stairs.

This was my second visit to this wonderful hot dog stand and it truly doesn't disappoint!! Got the hot dog with cheese and french fries (in the bun) and it was delicious! If you are looking for the classic hot dog experience - don't go to downtown Reykjavik - you go to Selfoss and Pylsuvagninn! UPDATE: So I'm back again to my favorite Icelandic Hot Dog stand. I forgot to mention in my previous review that you MUST get the Deep Fried Hotdog with Fries. This is the only place in the whole of Iceland where you can get one. Don't be a wuss. Get it. You will love it and then dream about getting another one when you come back to visit. Delicious!!!

Stopped in here during a recent vacation in Iceland. "Pylsuvagninn" basically means "hot dog car" in Icelandic; apparently it was originally a cart when it started in the 1980s, and upgraded over time to a small building. The logo is a little weird/silly but don't let that stop you from trying them out. I tried the Dorito's hot dog - a deep fried hot dog with garlic sauce, crumbled doritos, and fried cheese. Was it healthy? Heavens no! Was it delicious? Absolutely. My wife had the fish and chips which was also good.

Fun and Tasty Stop in Selfoss! Pylsuvagninn in Selfoss is such a fun place to visit when you’re traveling around Iceland. It’s the perfect stop whether you want to grab a quick bite at the drive-thru or sit outside and enjoy your food. The hot dogs here are great — classic Icelandic style — but if you want to try something extra special, I highly recommend the deep-fried hot dog with French fries. It’s absolutely worth it! A great little spot for a casual and delicious stopover in Selfoss. We’ll definitely be coming back!

So grateful for a vegan hot dog! It was great and reasonably priced, especially for Iceland standards. Not sure if they use a brand or make their own, but perfect way to stop in town for something quick.

Věry good and tasty food not too expensive for Iceland. I have to recomend to try the hot dog. Also is better to visit it at morning it is realy busy place.

My husband loves this place! He adores hot dogs and said this is one of the best in Iceland. Quick, friendly service with great quality food!

Icelandic hot-dog is indeed much better than American style. Please note that "paprika" = peppers (red, green, bell peppers - loads). We really didn't expect that haha

Ok. Perhaps slightly better than standard food court food but not by much. Adequate seating inside and outside. Free water if they replenish the glasses. Ok variety of options for everyone to find something they like, but slow and unresponsive service

Great variety of food options available, plenty of seating, restrooms in the basement and parking lot nearby. We could see it was a hit with the locals for sure. There is also some outdoor space to hang out or dine.

This is a reconstruction of an old 20th-century dairy that is used as a modern food hall in Selfoss. There are 8 restaurants and 2 bars and nicely decorated floors and seating. We stopped by recently and had pretty good burgers at the Rosti Burger & Beer joint at the Old Dairy Food Hall. Would be interested to try other eateries here as well if we find ourselves in Selfoss again.

Food hall like we haven’t seen anywhere else in Iceland. Great to have do many food options under one roof, with plenty of space to sit inside or outdoors at the terrace. We ate taco’s at Takko, and a skyr bowl at Skyrland for dessert - all equally delicious.

Food court with a good variety of food stalls. Not too crowded on a Saturday afternoon. Music not too loud.

A modern spot of hip and tastiness. Food choices and flavors as good as we’d expect in Brooklyn. Italian, Latin fusion, Asian, burgers, etc. - and a bar with good beer and wine. Great tacos, great Pad Thai. Order and seat yourself, wait for the buzzer to alert when food is ready. Comfortable chairs and big urban tables. Fun facility and a yogurt museum in the basement. Food comparable with an urban capital right in the middle of Selfoss. Vegetarian options.

Lots of delicious restaurants in one place! The Selfoss Alfredo pasta from Romano (an Italian restaurant ) was the best Alfredo we had in Iceland. The Manin’s Chicken Panaga & Deep-fried shrimps were perfect! So, it's a great food hall in Selfoss, where you can choose different cuisines!

I ordered a children's jumpsuit, boots and clothes. All the goods were of good quality. The parcel was delivered very quickly. I am grateful for the service provided. I will definitely order again.

Ordered from the online store. My package arrived promptly, beautifully wrapped and with a lovely hand written thank you note! Felt like a very personal service in an otherwise clinical shopping method. Will definitely be ordering again in the future. :)

Recieved warm and beautiful winter gloves for my kids. Got a great deal because of sales. When the package came there was a sweet note and chocolate. A little something extra was so thoughtful. 10/10 service. ❤️🙂

Excellent service and amazing products. The staff are always friendly and give expert advice, the service is always fast and helpful and the products are wonderful! I have bought many things for my daughter and for family and friends. I/we have loved them all from clothes, to toys, to practical bits like cutlery- lovely!

Lovely baby store with a beautiful variety of clothes and other products for kids/moms. The customer service is impeccable and the delivery is super fast if you buy online. I highly recommend 🥰

very pleased with the services offered and the chair is nice compared to others ☺️

Fantastic customer service. I will be checking yrja first for any other items I need for my children.

My favorite place in Selfoss! This is my second visit because of the great experience I had last time. We came for Saturday lunch, but they were only serving the brunch menu, which had limited options. However, the food was absolutely delicious. The combination of steak, eggs, sauces, and bread was well-balanced and perfectly cooked. The chips were also very tasty. Although the service was just okay, the food alone makes it worth a visit.

Got to try the Whale starter as well as the cod and a couple cocktails. Everything was cooked to perfection and service was also excellent. Highly recommend if you're visiting or passing through Selfoss

Charming restaurant with the special atmosphere of the separate rooms. Delicious food, beautiful plates, friendly service. Absolutely recommended for vegan guests as well , from appetizers to main courses to desserts! Thank you for the a beautiful experince!

A stunning meal in a cozy comfortable historic building with a great view of Selfoss. The lobster soup was creamy but light and I adored the serving presentation. The grilled whale cannot be skipped, it was the culinary highlight of my LIFE. I was hesitant because you know, whales are so cool, but my god it was the best thing I've ever eaten. So tender, flavorful, and unique. The salmon and cod dishes were ingeniously curated. We ate every bite. The rhubarb dessert made me want to lick the plate. Local produce was showcased so well. Even the bread and cocktails were out of this world. If you're passing through Selfoss, I can't recommend Tryggvaskáli enough.

Wow, wow, wow – absolutely amazing! I’m finishing my trip in Iceland, and after visiting so many restaurants, I can honestly say this is by far the best one I’ve been to! ❤️ The atmosphere is unique, set in a beautiful house that looks stunning inside and out. The food, the vibes, and the whole experience were simply unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Lovely small town restaurant providing delicious big town sophistication. The ambience is pleasant and family like - the restaurant feels like a large home with a country decor. We had a delightful lunch with whale meat appetizers - which were tender in a tasty sauce. Lunch featured a fried crispy chicken salad, tasty hamburger and beef tenderloin. The chicken pieces were nicely cooked and very crispy. Dessert had fermented blue berries with a tasty custard. The coconut and pineapple cake was well done, even a bit crunchy. Overall a delicious meal. Our guests were enchanted with the chicken salad’s dressing which admittedly was quite tasty as was the grilled sweet corn which fit the dish very well. Our waiter was pilot, patient and professional. Pro-tip - our food did take a while to prepare.

5-Star Experience! Summary: We had a Beef Toast, a Pancake with Strawberries, a capuccino and a hot chocolate. Everything was delicious. We spent 67 USD with the 10% tip. The Beef Toast was incredible: perfect presentation, intense flavor, ideal seasoning, and hot temperature. The Strawberry Pancake was also delicious, juicy, and well-presented. It comes with a chocolate ganache that's is also amazing. Additionally, the hot chocolate and cappuccino were very tasty. The service was attentive and efficient. We spent around $67 with a 10% tip. Well worth it! Highly recommended! 5 stars!"

Absolutely amazing place! The geysers erupt regularly and it’s truly fascinating to watch the power of nature so close. The steam, the sound, and the sudden burst of hot water create an unforgettable experience. The area is well organized with clear paths and good viewing spots, and it’s easy to take great photos. A must-see stop on any trip to Iceland!

The Strkkur Geyser is certainly something to see if you've never seen see anything like this before. I did feel a little bit underwhelmed, but that's just me. It is amazing how the water heats up and bubbles away. The Geysir Centre across the road has toilets, food, drink and the standard souvenir shop. They have cold weather clothing for sale, but be prepared for the high price! Worth the trip and recommend a visit, but don't worry about FOMO if you don't.

This was our very first time seeing a geyser in action—and it was absolutely amazing. The anticipation alone is worth the visit: the water begins to bubble and swell for a few minutes, building up this quiet tension… and then the showstopper erupts with a burst of power that’s raw, dramatic, and unforgettable. We were completely mesmerized and ended up staying long enough to watch it erupt three or four times. Each time felt just as exciting as the first. Beyond the main geyser, the area is dotted with smaller steaming pools and bubbling hot spots that look almost otherworldly. A heads-up: the sulfur smell is strong—very “rotten eggs.” For a moment I genuinely thought I was the one smelling, but it’s just the geothermal activity. You get used to it quickly. It does get a bit crowded so if you want the perfect shot, have patience. There is no entrance fee. Getting there is easy. You can drive straight to the paid online parking right across from the geyser area, which is extremely convenient. There’s also a large store (expensive)beside the parking lot where you can grab warm clothing, souvenirs, or a quick snack before or after exploring. An unforgettable stop—don’t rush it, stay for multiple eruptions!

Strokkur Geyser was absolutely beautiful! I visited in January, so it was quite cold, but there are nearby buildings where you can warm up for a bit between eruptions. Such a stunning natural wonder — I’m really glad I went!

Several geysers are scattered throughout this area, but the largest and most active one is Strokkur, which erupts every seven to ten minutes. After the first eruption, it often erupts again about 15 to 20 seconds later, so if you stay and wait, you can witness a second burst. Around the geyser, tourists stand ready with their cameras to capture the perfect moment, but it’s best not to wait on the downwind side. In strong winds, there’s a chance that the hot water from the eruption could be blown toward you.

The undeniable star of the Haukadalur geothermal area, and witnessing it erupt feels almost unreal no matter how many times you’ve seen it on video. The geyser erupts every few minutes, often shooting a column of boiling water impressively high into the air, sometimes more than once in quick succession. The anticipation and the sudden burst make it a fun experience for both casual visitors and photographers. It’s an easy, flat walk from the main paths, and you can get fairly close as long as you respect the barriers. The ground around the geyser is extremely hot and fragile, so staying on marked trails is important for your safety and for preserving the area. Steam and sulfur smells are part of the experience, and depending on the wind, you might catch some spray, so keep your camera protected and maybe stand slightly off to the side if you want the best view without getting misted. Crowds gather quickly, especially right before an eruption, so arriving early in the morning or later in the evening makes it much more enjoyable. Once you’re there, give yourself time to watch several eruptions; each one is different and sometimes the second or third burst is the most dramatic. The combination of geothermal colors, the bubbling pool before eruption, and the wild Icelandic backdrop makes this one of the most memorable stops on the Golden Circle.

Strokkur is one of the geysers at Geyser on the main route of the golden circle. Parking here is at th visitors e center but it's such a hassle finding a spot with so many people always there. The walk to Strokkur is about 10 minutes total, and you pass by some other cool geothermal features. The geyser goes off every 3-5 minutes so you basically can't miss it. Really cool place to stop for a few to stretch and see something fun.

The BEST of the best! This is in the food hall. They have separated vegan menu. I gotta said it’s the best vegan food in Iceland. I love their mushroom soup so much to the point that I had it for dinner, the next day for lunch and then after golden circle I came back for dinner, just to have their mushroom soup. The vegan steak sandwich is off the chart too. Also their fries are made by order. It’s fresh, it’s hot, it’s crispy, it’s perfect! Oh did I also mention it’s truffle fries?! The best of this place is their staff. 10 out of 10. Everyone was so kind and generous to us. The last dinner I came in last minute because I was waiting outside for northern lights. They could’ve not served the food but the girl who worked at the front and the chef agreed to give me mushroom soup. I cannot thank them enough. Hands down. Highly highly recommend it! It’s a must try!

The restaurant is in a Food Hall so I cant pin it on them for the tables being so low that I couldn't get my leggs under them. The fish'n chips was good, the batter needed a bit more seasoning but it was crispy and the fish was fresh. The tartar/aoli was good, the coleslaw was really sour, it left a blister in my mouth. The fries were your normal truffle flavored fries. The mushroom soup was ok, but the choice of bread they served with it could be better then three chared small slices.

🌍 Explore, Taste, and Travel with Us! Follow our adventures and food journeys on Insta: vibrant_wanderer_rhythm One MUST try the Icelandic dish : Plokkfiskur Warm n yum, fish casserole served with rye bread and butter. Perfect and delightful in stormy windy cold weather. Happy hour only from 3-6pm, we were 4 minutes late and denied the prices. Rest all good. Happy exploring

Ordering was easy, and the buzzer let me know when to collect lunch. The lamb soup was amazing; loved the spices. I almost didn’t need the side salad as the soup was so filling.

Had a delicious dinner, way better than I could hope for in a food court. The meat was deliciously cooked, the bread was really good and the fries were nice and salty.

This is one of the places in the Selfoss food hall, it’s sort of like a food court at a mall. We were hesitant to eat at a food court style place but we were very quickly persuaded otherwise. We ended up eating at this food hall almost every night because it was that good! This specific counter offered a delicious lamb soup that my husband loved!

It was good food, but portions were small. 3500kr for lamb stew and it was maybe half a liter. The bread served alongside it was very small indeed, lasting about 4 bites dipped into the soup. It's maybe the going rate for this dish, but I felt at least the bread could have been a heartier portion in order to round out the entree and make it more filling.

The best shawarma I've had in a long time. And the best part is they are open until late hours. I'd highly recommend the Lake Shawarma

Nice kebab joint in the town of Selfoss. Chicken dishes are halal, as confirmed by the manager. Various options [wraps, plates [either with rice, bread or fries]. Good portions. Cosy place. Just happened that there was EPL match and the manager switched the tv channels [3 screens] for the live viewing!

​Roadside snack bar located right off the main road. ​The service is friendly and fast. ​The pizza has plenty of toppings, and the iceberg lettuce on the kebab pizza is an interesting ingredient. ​The football broadcast positively rounds off the whole experience. ​A good snack bar to quickly grab a satisfying and filling meal.

The BEST shawarma we’ve ever had! We were in Iceland for 8 days and this food was so good we came twice. The mixed special shawarma has such good flavor and the wraps are huge (easily can make into 2 meals or split between 2 people). They were very friendly as well!

Ordered online when we walked in we were greeted with a friendly smile and a fabulous smell waited about 5-10 mins then he walked out carrying 2 huge shawarmas in hand asked if we needed anything else then told us have a good night and thank you ! Once we got back to our air BNB we unwrapped them and knew immediately they were gonna be good and they did not disappoint definitely get the lamb and chicken and add fries they were big enough to feed 2! 5 out of 5 would definitely recommend!

I eat there alot. Good food. Good staff. Love the cook. It's the best

Everything was perfect! I wish we had this place in my home town.

Byrja is located near the main roundabout in the centre of Selfoss. It also about as close to an American style dinner that we found while traveling around Iceland. They are open from 7am to 3pm (weekdays) and 8am to 4pm (weekends). They have a fair-sized seating area inside. Menu includes breakfast and lunch sections. We had a nice breakfast here recently. Short stack pancakes with syrup and butter tasted just like those served Stateside. Avocado Toast was decent. Ingredients fresh enough but avocado not quite ripe. Home fries were very good, as were the hash browns ordered alongside the pancakes. Coffees were fine. Service friendly and fairly quick, prices reasonable for dish portions and food quality. Would be fine to eat here again for breakfast.

The best about place is it’s open early at 7am. When I was looking for breakfast place in Selfoss (and other places), I found that most of the places not open until 10am, 11am….this is the only place in Selfoss open before 9. It locates right next to the Kronan supermarket, has plenty of free parking in front of it, very convenient location. The owner was super nice. Food was more like American style breakfast, not my favorite kind of breakfast, but good enough.

Very large portions. Food is pretty good, it’s close to American-style breakfast but the eggs had a very bland taste. Potatoes were yummy. Coffee was ok. I recommend if you’re just looking for a quick, basic breakfast that models an American breakfast.

Delicious food with friendly and polite service. Nice to find a brunch place in Iceland with great eggs Benedict, hollandaise sauce and delicious bacon. Coffee was also amazing, and the pancakes were yummy. My kid is a picky eater and gobbled up the pancakes with blueberries pretty quickly. Recommended stop on a trip from Reykjavik to Vik.

This is a very American themed restaurant. They are likely catering to the abundant tourists who come into town. I would say, it’s grub… nothing really stands out, taste wise. Just decent food.

I love this place. The owners are exceptionally thoughtful, friendly, and kind, they radiate positive energy! We were traveling with our 11 month old baby and were delighted to find such a child-friendly place to stop for breakfast – you can tell the owners must have kids of their own, and this makes all the difference when you're traveling with little ones. The food was delicious, everything came out quickly, and I'm pretty sure their bathroom has the best changing table in the entire country.

One of the few/ only sit down breakfast spots in Selfoss that serves breakfast late. We got here around 10:30am and ordered two Swiss mochas, which I would’ve gotten without whipped cream next time, and two classic eggs Benedict’s with hashbrowns and a breakfast burrito with potatoes to share. Unfortunately the tickets didn’t print so we ended up getting our food 35 mins after we ordered it and watched people sit down after us get served and leave while we still hadn’t gotten our food. Sadly one of our Benedict’s ended up being luke warm almost cold, but still good and the hashbrowns and potatoes were really good. The breakfast burrito was stuffed with refried beans and lots of green peppers which we didn’t know so we wouldn’t get that again. Good hospitality and they gave us a small discount for the inconvenience which was nice. Overall a good place just had a few hiccups.

I wanted to like this place but I ordered the so called 3 course meal with panang chicken breast, tiny fried shrimps and mini egg rolls and didn't like it. The chicken was plain, the shrimps too salty and the egg rolls are way too small. It came hot though. The place was packed with many people and the line was long. The price was reasonable for Iceland but unfortunately not the food, sorry.

Delicious! We wanted something warm and light and the pad Thai from Menams was perfect. It was flavorful but not overpowering. Ordering was easy and you got a buzzer when your food was ready. The entire building is cute - such a fun place!

We got the shrimp pad Thai noodles and they were exceptionally delicious! We got this entree twice during our stay! The people at the counter were super friendly. The counters and kitchen was super clean!

The chicken Pad Thai is most delicious and flavorful dish I’ve had during my entire trip in Iceland. While it doesn’t taste like the typical pad thai I’ve come to love, its twist of flavors is exciting and each bite is carefully crafted with much love. Visiting from Boston, Massachusetts USA. Wish I had found this place sooner!

We ordered the Panaang Curry, Pad Thai, and Noodle bowl with chicken which were all absolutely phenomenal! Highly recommend this place especially if you can sync up the date with an Iceland football match playing on the screen outside!

Very yummy! A bit sweet but still very good. Just what I needed!

Good thai food, but main triple course could be bigger

We had the Artic Char and it was probably the best fish I’ve ever eaten in my life. The crispy skin, the perfectly cooked meat of the fish, the white wine and oil. Perfectly prepared, beautifully served with fennel, potatoes and turnip. Classic Icelandic fare. The perfect meal for us to end our trip on! Try the brownies for dessert, they’re almost fudge like and served on top of caramel, blueberries and a subtle chocolate ganache on top.

This is a traditional Icelandic food and restaurant which is the main reason I booked this place. However, because of that, it’s NOT a vegan/vegetarian friendly restaurant. They serve fermented shark and whale meat (in 2025) and all kind of other traditional Icelandic food. Because of that, I had to go somewhere else to eat (luckily there is a food hall nearby) we did order drinks and appetizers like broccoli and bake brea. They tasted yummy. The drink was excellent. Service is great. If they could add more vegetarian and vegan options that would be perfect!

Great place at the central square of Selfoss, the diamond of the South. Although a bit low ceiling due to the architecture, the owner has a distinctive eye on decoration, with lights that remind you of sky lanterns and an amazing bathroom decoration - you will definitely feel the cosyness and relaxed! We had an amazing reindeer carpaccio (well done to the chef) and the tenderloin was just rightly cooked. The seafood pasta reminded me of the original Italian versions - no red sauce, just oil and the seafood, amazing as well! Strongly recommended. Prices not much more expensive that anywhere else in Iceland that you want to have a descent dish.

We chose Fröken to cater at my wedding and we had an incredible experience. They catered both our rehearsal dinner and reception, and both nights were flawless! The night before was a Canapé Party which included Foal tenderloin tataki, Duck Salad, Groovís donuts; it was a relaxed but elevated experience! The delivery was on time and perfectly prepped for easy serving. For the wedding night, Árni came to our cabin and prepared our 6 course tasting menu and the experience was exceptional! Start to finish the food was incredible. My guests absolutely loved the Cured Wild Goose Breast, Broccoli Tempera, Lamb Sirloin, and Reindeer Carpaccio They were very accommodating of any special requests/ allergies. Fröken provided a unique and unbelievably delicious menu that perfectly captured Northern European cuisine. Both nights were beyond our expeditions and I would hire Fröken for all your special occasions or group dinners! Everyone raved about their food for the rest of the vacation!

Had a fantastic fancy dinner in town after a day trip at the national park, waterfall, etc. I picked this place because of the vegan options. Ended up having a vegan beef wellington and wow, that could've easily missed the mark, but it was so delicious. I'm not a salad person, and I even ate the salad. Got a rhubarb crisp, which was just ok, especially for the price. I've had much better, but would highly recommend this place for the vegan main. My husband also enjoyed the unique food off the non-vegan menu.

Amazing food with very professional staff. Polish lady who served us was very polite and attentive. Food was very well seasoned and tasty. Perfect Atmosphere. Very recommended

Fantastic food, great cocktails, nice setting and staff. We had the set menu which was 20% off before 6pm. The arctic char was delicious and was one of the few dishes we had in Iceland with a lot of vegetables.

Lovely wonderful looking church.

Beautiful Church built just around the riverbend. It has great view of wide river and the iron bridge that crosses it. If you stop by Selfoss you must pay a visit. Expensive restaurante in Hotel Selfoss nearby but cheap places to eat too like Subway or a Hotdog hut.

Great service in Icelandic language. Pastor was kind enough to provide my wife with a summary of the sermon after the service!

The classically Nordic Skálholtskirkja church is also not far from Selfoss. Just a short drive down route 35 to route 31 and just south of Reyholt, the church was consecrated in 1963 by the bishop of Iceland.

This place with church and river ist really nice ! Make a picknick over here !

Quiet place I waited there for one hour to take one shot of northern lights.

A lovely church lead by a wonderful priest.

What a cool little interactive museum. Learned a lot of cool things about the history of Skyr and how its made. I have seen it in grocery stores in the US but always thought of it as just another yogurt but now I will add it into my regular eating habits as its way tastier. The tasting they give you at the end of the exhibit is way more than I thought it was going to be and was a nice little treat. Well worth the time and entry fee!

Was here a few weeks ago….great treats and loved the wooden spoons! We were here early in the morning, so didn’t stay in the town early, but lots of shops and events. If you eat skyr…you should stop to understand just about the cultures and how and why it got “started” so many years ago.

A small but fun exhibit. The kids enjoyed the interactive elements and we all learned something. The adult tasting is a very good size and was better than expected. The kids tasting was just a pouch, so that was a little disappointing. Maybe a bit pricey, but it was still a fun stop.

You get a free pot of Skyr with toppings!!!!!!!! It's a brilliant museum, if you're passing Selfoss give it a go.

Just got done at Skyrland, it does have some good history about Skyr, however it also says it includes a tasting of skyr, which, they give you a tube of. It is not the type of tasting anyone would expect. Save yourself 40 isk and use chatgpt on the history of Isey Skyr and buy a tube from the grocery store.

It was very creative and fun please to go, too small to just drive all over there. They had a tasting plate including the ticket which was delicious. At first, we thought it was supposed to be a museum about the history of Iceland, but it was just about the History of Skyl the Iceland yogurt.

This is a nice hidden gem in Selfoss. It was interesting to learn about the history of Skyr in Iceland. The sample at the end of the tour was delicious!

A lovely place to get a coffee. Step out of the busy world and read. There is also an excellent Art Exhibition Space at the public library in Selfoss.

This is the perfect stop! The staff is friendly and helpful. Most of them can help English travelers. The WiFi is quick and easy to connect to. Pro tip: walk over to the pylsa house actually the circle for the best hot dog of your life!

Cozy library open to the public. There's a small tourist information section here with some useful maps and brochures.

(Translated by Google) I really love Icelandic libraries, this is a place where, in addition to reading, you can also relax, charge your gadgets, connect to Wi-Fi and just relax in a pleasant atmosphere. This library was no exception. I really liked the first floor. Although there are no windows, it is very cozy, pleasant and calm, and there is also not often anyone there and therefore you can calmly read alone) it was a very cool idea that at the entrance there is a large shelf with books that can be bought for 100 crowns. An interesting and inexpensive souvenir from Iceland for tourists)) (Original) Очень люблю исландские библиотеки, это место, где ты помимо чтения можешь ещё и отдохнуть, зарядить свои гаджеты, подключиться к вайфаю и просто расслабиться в приятной атмосфере. Эта библиотека не стала исключением. Мне очень понравился первый этаж. Хоть там нет окон, но очень уютно, приятно и спокойно, а ещё там не часто кто-то есть и поэтому можно спокойно читать в одиночестве) очень круто придумали, что на входе стоит большой стеллаж с книгами, которые можно купить за 100 крон. Интересный и недорогой сувенир из Исландии для туристов))

(Translated by Google) Quiet, cozy and peaceful... It was a library I wanted to stay in forever. (Original) 조용하고 아늑하고 평화롭다... 하염없이 있고싶은 도서관이었다

Such a good place that u can read, charge your phone, and enjoy about a big choice. A quiet spaces and a good management team. I love it.

(Translated by Google) Very good service. They have a small section of books in Spanish. They sometimes have activities for children. It's a great time, and they also have sessions to learn Icelandic. (Original) Muy buena atención, tienen una pequeña sección de libros en español. A veces tienen actividades para niños. Se pasa un buen rato y también tienen sesiones para aprender islandés

If you are a chess player and / or interested in chess history, that's the place to visit in Iceland. The distance from Reykjavik city center to Selfoss, where the center is situated, is approximately 55 km (about 45 minutes car driving time). It's not a big place but definitely worth visiting. We had to wait about 20 minutes to get the door opened because the center's docent had stepped out. They have all kind of memorabilia related to Bobby Fischer, including a life-sized replica of the table used in the 1972 "Match of the Century" between Fischer and Spassky. There are numerous photos, posters, etc. related to that match. They also have books and souvenirs for sale. To get to the center, one has to climb the stairs. I don't think that they have an elevator there. For anyone with physical limitations, be aware. Bobby Fischer's graveyard is situated approximately 2 km away from the center in Selfoss.

Aldis was great telling all of the information known, and the story of Bobby Fischer in Iceland, and afterward. Very nice little place. Tournaments on Thursdays, 730pm, I think. Also home to a chess club, and a nice little chess library. Entrance is in the back, NorthEast corner, it's upstairs. Well worth the 1000kr for a visit.

If you are a chess player, or even just someone who enjoys history, please come and visit this amazing spot. Bobby Fischer led a complicated life, and the museum shows this through all the artifacts and pieces within. It may be small in size, but it was truly wonderful being able to go over the life of one of the Greats.

An hour outside of Reykjavik, a must see for any chess fan. Great little place off the beaten path but well worth the drive. He is buried at a church nearby if you want to make the trip complete.

Very lovely place to learn the history of Bobby Fischer! The curator was able to flawlessly answer all questions I asked about Fischer and the merch is to die for. I also loved Hans Niemann's note and how funny it was to be next to a signed Magnus Carlsen board! Also got to see Fischer's passport, play chess on the same table which the 1972 Spassky-Fischer matches happened! Deserves 5 stars!

This museum is small but valuable for preserving the legacy of Bobby Fischer, the best chess player in history, and shows an amazing history of the evolution of chess and its championships; donations support local chess clubs

Many pictures in the museum are not available on the Internet. I think the area of the museum could be larger, with more options of chess boards for purchasing.

It is a beautiful town and great food. Great if you are a photographer but currently there is a lot of construction near the main areas. I was recommend waiting till this is completely. Definitely worth a visit.

Great place especially if you are on a road trip is a good place te have some food

Selfoss is a good base for anyone wanting to explore the sights of Golden Circle by car. The centre has some nice shops and a food court, and the river offers some nice views. There is also a development project ongoing in the centre for expanding the pedestrian area . The main road through southern Iceland runs through Selfoss centre ruining the most pleasantness.

It a cozy looking town but not much that can be done if you’re a tourist. You can visit The Old Dairy Food Hall - Mjólkurbúið Mathöll Mjólkurbúið Mathöll, and that’s basically it. It’s in the process of rebuilding so by the 2030 (I believe) it could really be a go to place.

Cool city centre with an indoor food hall, some restaurants and shops around. Nice river walk with views.

Currently undergoing renovations, but accessible to all restaurants and shops

Great variety of options from just drinks or sandwiches to pretty high end dining. The food at Mars was fantastic!

Excellent pizza! Best pizza I've had in Iceland. I love the food court options and decor.

The best pizza I’ve ever had! What a treat. Located in the Old Diary Food Hall, there are a few restaurants to choose from and if you like mushrooms I couldn’t recommend the tartufo pizza enough. Glad we stopped here on the way back from Vik

Had dinner at Flatey Pizza yesterday. The pizza was good. The staff were not welcoming, and the wait time was longer than expected. Also, since it’s located inside a busy food hall, finding a seat can be challenging sometimes (depending on time of the day).

We were just drinking a beer and as we are just in front of Flatery Pizza, we order a Diábolo pizza just as a kind of snack, hot snack as was frozen outside Mjolkurbu Floamanna. The pizza was delicious and the taste was fantastic. We just order as well two beers more for support on eating the pizza. It was an amazing afternoon, cool foot in a cool place

It used to be great pizza, but unfortunately not anymore. Once again, some ingredients were missing, and once again, the waiting time was long despite the place not being busy. The pizza was greasy, the toppings kept falling off, and the crust was falling apart. I don’t usually complain or leave negative reviews, but this has happened again. It’s a shame. I work in the food service industry myself, so I’m understanding — but these are things that can be avoided.

This is the reason we come to Salfoss over and over again. This pizza is truly exceptional. We came here last year and the pizza was beyond good, we came back two more times on that same trip. Ok Tonight we are back again one year later after an amazing day chasing glaciers! Same brilliant service and exquisite food. Here’s our pizza.

I really enjoy this pizza, even if I am from Italy soo trust me is really good. Is self service so you should do everything by yourself.

The service in the restaurant could improve, but it was a crowdy and acceptable. The Bacon Burger was pretty good but not outstanding. The sauces they had were really good. The others i was with said, it was the best fish they ate in a restaurant - This is why the restaurant earned 5 stars. And compared to other restaurants it was cheaper.

Decent food with quantity and quality. Our family were treated no differently from others with our American English. The place was full when we visited. Very family style restaurant with chairs you see in ordinary families. But place is clean.

Lovely place for trying out some fantastic Icelandic fare and some of the old faithful’s. We tried fish and chips, mushroom soup,chicken with cheese and mushrooms and the house speciality horse meat. Everything was awesome. Great service and great food. What more can you ask for

I want impressed with the food here. It felt like it was frozen and heated in an oven. I know Iceland is expensive but consider what we got I would go back.

The Horse with bernaise sauce was truly thee best dish here!!! Ceviche was amazing too!! Service was top notch... host /waiter was knowledgeable and shared his favorites which ultimately helped us decide!! Definitely need to try this place out... worth every ISK!!

Wasn’t expecting much since we just wandered in off the street but had an amazing fish and chips special with an appetizer of asparagus soup. The waitress was incredibly friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Would recommend to anyone in the area (local or travelers)

Good choice of dinning place around the hood. Not specifically cheap nor expensive. Right at the middle. Food selection are limited but food is quite good.

After a morning of diving and sight seeing in wet weather, this place was great to warm up with a cup of coffee and cake. After our table neighbors received their food, I was thinking we probably should have eaten lunch there instead. It looked amazing. Coffee was great, so was the cake. It is a quiet comfy place. It was clean, the waitress was kind and the prices were average.

This is the wonderful place to visit and enjoy your dinner. I order the lamb shanks, that's the best decision I've ever made in my Iceland trip. the flavour is so good and the sides is delicious as well. The restaurant has perfect environment and high level food, it can meet everything you need.

We visited the place twice during our stay in Iceland for dinner. There is a wide range of food to choose from fish, butgers or pizza. You also have a great selection of sweets to have with your coffee. We were a group of 16 people and we found a spot to sit both times (split in two). Prices were average for Iceland so expect to pay around 30+ euros per person. We had fish of the day, which was Ling, the second time was Salmon, but we didn't try. It was served with grilled vegetables, and it was really tasty. We also tried Tower Burger. It was excellent with a strong taste of garlic, which we loved, but if you dont like garlic, maybe choose something else. Finally, we tried the signature pizza. It was also tasty but a bit too heavy. If you order, eat while it's still warm.

It was a tasteful experience, we were really happy to get there and eat something so good ! The waiter and waitress were really kind. The food was amazing, the ambiance calm. Iceland never disappoints, thank you, takk fyrir and merci, Iceland never disappoints.

Super cozy ans cute coffee place… We tried 2 coffees (americano and cappuccino) and two local deserts…. Happy ever after is really good!!! I do recommend try

Such a cute place. Great food, nice service and cozy atmosphere. I recommend! Also, outstandingly delicious fries!

The fish and chips are REALLY GOOD. pizza was also good. Super nice people working there. Great experience. Pies are awesome as well

Extremely delicious food and very friendly service. The Viking beer was also top-notch. If you're in Selfoss, please definitely eat here at Krisp. Many thanks to the excellent cuisine.

Highly recommend! The pulled pork bun was one of the best we've ever had, and the steak was cooked perfectly. The service was friendly and super nice. Leave room for dessert, because the fudgy chocolate cake is to die for.

I had a vegan Burger and was flashed, it was very tasty and I enjoyed eating it :) The service was ok, they did their job. The restaurant itself is quite simple, but I liked it.

Ok chicken bao bun and side salad but with pretty rich flavors and sauces. My dinner partner found a lot of it sweet and her burger was pretty rare.

One of the best restaurants in Iceland for sure! Charcoal meat made properly! A must go where in Selfos! Food, service, location. I had first time a doggy bag per say, it was that good! Top noch!! Very recommended 👌

Punches high on food. Steak was perfectly cooked and buttered mushrooms were fantastic. For the area, excellent food at not a bad price for the quality.

Unfortunately our experience here wasn't our favorite. All of our food lacked flavor and for the price point, it just simply wasn't worth the try. When titles such as "former national culinary team member" is used, expectations tend to go up. We were expecting flavor bombs for our last meal in Iceland, but it came up short. We got steamed buns, crispy chicken, edamame, cauliflower, and mixed salad. The steamed buns from the main course section are not traditional steamed buns and had I known that, I probably would have skipped them- although that was on me for not digging deeper into the online reviews to see that. 2 of the 3 buns lacked any flavor- the pork one had the most flavor and that was from the sauce served on top of it. Crispy chicken was perfectly crisp with the sauce, but the chicken was bland. Edamame had potential, but since it was a butter sauce, all the flavor was sitting in the bottom of the bowl. When you finally got to the butter that was all you could taste due to the butter not being infused with the ginger and chili, leaving the dish to be bland. Cauliflower was missing flavor, we craved for even a little bit of salt at minimum to enhance any potential flavor in the red pepper sauce. Mixed salad was good, but it was dry, it needed more tomato salsa on there to help dress the greens a bit since there wasn't any dressing. After reading many other reviews, it looks like many people complained or dishes being too salty, but now there just isnt any st which leaves dishes falling flat of flavor. I guesa the balance may be missing somewhere.The espresso martini was delicious, house red was tasty and we loved the white ale on tap. Our server was pleasant, but there were only 2 of them running the whole floor and it was obviously stressful resulting in the environment feeling tense and not so desirable. All in all, we would not return to this spot as the prices do not reflect the food. But this is definitely the spot to come to sit at the bar and enjoy an espresso martini with some sweets!

I've visited Michelle at The Art House twice now, and both times were heaven. The first time was a few years ago for the "Borgarnes Film Freaks" film festival (coincidentally, the title of the film I screened was BFFs), and I loved getting to meet so many locals and experience the beautiful art, nature, and thermal baths in the area. And, as it was winter, the Northern Lights made a memorable appearance as well. The second visit, in January of 2022, was equally memorable. Michelle made us immediately feel at home, and we were grateful for her hospitality. I feel fortunate to consider Michelle a friend now, and I admire the work she has done to foster the arts in Borgarnes. I look forward to returning again.

I stayed with Michelle twice, once in May 2015 and then again in Dec 2022, and both times were unforgettable. I’ve always had a sensitive soul and have loved the way art makes me feel. But what Michelle did in Borgarnes I had never experienced before: she turned her house into an exhibition and invited us to live in the feelings that art can produce. Her paintings were warm and dynamic and always put me in the right frame of mind to experience the great nature that surrounded her studio. It was a once-in-a-life time experience - twice after it got into my soul - to be above the bay, in front of the Hafnarfjall mountains, below the aurora borealis, in a little art cottage, on a peninsula, somewhere in Iceland …

I exhibited my artwork at Art House Borganes and had a fantastic time! Michelle is an amazing artist and host and has done an incredible job in making her house an art hub. I had lovely artistic encounters and conversations and the place is amazing!

The Art House Borgarnes is a magical place where you can let your imagination free and step into the unknown within you!. Michelle creates a comforting and encouraging atmosphere for experiments and joy. Five star experience!

We loved every minute and everything about the Art House in Borgarnes. The blind fold painting workshop and the drawing classes were really inspiring and the flat upstairs has the most amazing view you can dream of. Highly recommended.

The Art House in Borgarnes is such a beautiful experience to visit. Michelle does an incredible job hosting art workshops as well as art celebrations in the studio. It's a great place to relax and connect more with yourself and others through art.

Me and my fiancée had the best of time with a private drawing lesson with Michelle. Michelle was extremely open and friendly - and we felt privileged to receive her full attention and expert guidance for a long while. At the end, it felt like we were visiting a friend who happened to also be a super creative and passionate artist willing to share her world. Can't recommend highly enough...

Amazing, beautiful icelandic man.

(Translated by Google) My son and I took a little tour along the coast from Selfoss. First a visit to the Troll and Fairy Museum (Islandic Wonders) in Stokkseyri and then along the river to Urridafoss, near Ringstraße 1. We came across this small museum and studio by chance. The museum shows wooden sculptures of the "artist family" and "historical stories". The artist's son showed us around and gave us an insight into the family history, life in Iceland in the past and the origins of the farm. It was a very personal tour. because he also reported a lot about his father. Very interesting and enriched the trip nicely. (Original) Mein Sohn und ich haben von Selfoss aus eine kleine Rundtour an der Küste entlang gemacht. Erst ein Besuch im Troll- und Feenmuseum (Islandic Wonders) in Stokkseyri und dann am Fluss entlang zum Urridafoss, nahe der Ringstraße 1. Dabei sind wir durch Zufall auf dieses kleine Museum und Atelier gestoßen. Das Museum zeigt Holzskulpturen der "Künstlerfamilie" und "historischen Geschichten". Der Sohn des Künstlers hat uns herumgeführt und einen Einblick in die Familiengeschichte, das Leben in Island früher und die Entstehung des Hofes gegeben. Es war eine sehr persönliche Führung. da er auch viel von seinem Vater berichtete. Sehr interessant und hat den Rundtrip schön bereichert.

I would certainly have given 5 stars for the unsuspecting exterior but when we arrived the place didn’t exist. Based on reviews it has moved with no further information. We love a secret off the road beer stop and had such high hopes for this place but unfortunately it no longer exists, despite the highway signage. Please update your google business account!!! It would be very helpful.

En principio conviene llamar, ya que el día que fuimos el operario nos advirtió por el teléfono de que estaría de 9 am a 5 pm. Ya habíamos ido la víspera sin hablar con nadie por la tarde y estaba cerrada a cal y canto. La fábrica es preciosa, la sala de degustación también y el trato magnífico. La cerveza fue la mejor que probé en toda Islandia. Y los precios en el local, para ser Islandia, asequibles, que no baratos. (Translated by Google) In principle, it is convenient to call, since the day we went the operator warned us by phone that he would be there from 9 am to 5 pm. We had already gone the day before without speaking to anyone in the afternoon and it was closed tightly. The factory is beautiful, the tasting room as well, and the treatment is magnificent. The beer was the best I had in all of Iceland. And the prices in the local, to be Iceland, affordable, not cheap.

The location has just changed. We showed up and there was no signage indicating it was a brewery. When we called they said they were in the process of moving. For my money they make the best beer in Iceland

Such an amazing tucked away brewery... They have a great selection of beers, all with their own charm and backstory. Hella was a great bartender and instantly made us feel at home. If you have to stop at only one brewery in Iceland, this is your place.

Loved this place! Stopped briefly for a quick beer flight. All the beers were fantastic! The IPA was exceptional!

Family-like atmosphere small 10 years old brewery, one of their beer is specially brewed only for the Glacier area, which uses Thyme, Vatnajokull, amazing taste, must try when you are in the glacier! a staff lady is very kind and knowledgable about brewing and beer. I love their beer labelling design.

Nice golf course, beautiful surroundings

Awesome accommodation! Fast WiFi, nice rooms and a jacuzzi for a reasonable price.

Wifi is awsome, the bathroom is very clean

One of the better guesthouses we stayed at in Iceland.

WiFi doesn't reach the top rooms

Wonderful place. We loved it!

Very nice !

A lovely place redolent of the past. The old turf farm house is authentic, ready to be inhabited again. The owner is very knowledgeable about recent Icelandic history. Enjoy!

still jet lagged, we visited here around 9pm to look around! very interesting to see these houses and look around inside them.

Beautiful - there was a note on the door saying it was shut but the turf houses up the hillock were open, they were fabulous. The flowers and the serenity of the place was sublime

One of the last places full of history and culture about traditional building in Iceland. Authentic and precious, definitely worth it!

Fascinating insight into life in a turf house. The tour was delivered with great passion by the owner.The best museum we have been to in Iceland.

A big plus goes to the couple Hannes and Kristín to restore the old turf House at Eystri-Meðalholt. There are not many turf houses like this in their original setting in South Iceland, but there are more in the north. Got to know the reason yesterday: Due to the wet condition in the south, the farms had to be rebuild every ~40 years, but It is much drier in the north, where couple of farms like this still stand (as museums). The couple has collected many photos of the turf houses around the country and display them in their relatively newly build museum house. Yesterday these two visionaries gave the tour themselves, and it was terrific because they love the subject so much. It is, however, unlikely that they can give the tour themselves all the time, once the visitor numbers rises.

Alright, this place is just weird. Appears to just bd someone's art studio and farm. It was free so that's nice but I can't say I'd go out of my way for it.

Some of the best hamburgers and ribs we've ever had the opportunity to try. Swedish beer on offer. A place for a quick lunch or family dinner. Very friendly atmosphere and nice service. Good prices.

No the best fish and chips I ever had but it was overall ok, should be better with less oil. Prices are in the high range for this kind of food.

Great options of tasty food. Perfect for after seeing sights all day and you've worked up an appetite

For the price, you can't go wrong! We weren't really sure what to expect when we walked in the door, but we decided to eat regardless. It is pretty typical bar type food - the service was good too. There was a large pizza deal with two toppings for just 1,000 isk so we got two and a beer, and it turned out to be cheaper for both of us than it usually is for just one. Great pizza and we had leftovers for the next day. The ice cream is also very good!

Really nice restrooms. Everything is very clean. Great roadside stop for ice cream and snacks. Connected to the KFC.

The people working there are nice but the pizza is probably the worst pizza ive eaten. The pizza tasted weird

550isk for a small size cup of soft serve. It includes 3 toppings and syrup if you want it. I feel that the portions were very large. Locals getting ice cream on a Monday night, this place was great!!!!

Hot garbage. I’ve never felt so disrespect while eating food in my life. The price is insane, but the quality is beyond shocking, Shockingly bad. The meat is drier than my skin while in Iceland. The crisp is non existent. The over all flavor is so bad that I had to hop on this platform to leave this review so yall can watch me suffer and waste my money instead. I cannot believe 1 wrap 1 burger 1 medium fries is 30$ USD for this kind of food. It’s my fault to chose KFC.

Service is good, the food is not. Almost everything tastes reheated compared to other KFC locations around the world. I can only attribute this to the lack of fresh chicken in Iceland, which is understandable. Out of all fast food places, I’m wondering why the place that mainly serves chicken was picked. Probably a good thing though, as this lack of good fast food allows the smaller and fresher restaurants to thrive.

This is not the KFC that I’m used to.. Iceland KFC is not the same as the rest of the world. Unless it’s only this particular KFC in Iceland that serves this type of Fries chicken The skin is not crispy, it’s doesn’t even look like KFC skin Just look at the pictures

Very nice place with tasty chicken dishes located on the main road. I love the hot wings with extra chicken sauce.

This is the worst KFC I’ve ever had in my life. The price was insane but food quality was miserable. Almost all food tasted like they’ve been reheated. Chicken meat was dry and bland. The quality was so bad that I had to leave a review to warn others from coming to this place. It was a complete scam and waste of money.

Burger unexpected large but sadly soggy and just spicy. Fries bland and cold. No filets bites available in this location. Was kind of expecting similar menu items than on other locations in Europe or the us, but was disappointed. On the plus side, the ice dispenser does give out crushed ice which would be fantastic for mojito! Sadly not available either. So much potential though = ) 2 stars!

Pretty nice KFC. The ordering kiosk was easy to use and the food was out quickly. That BBQ sauce stole the show and they were generous with the fries.

This was probably the saddest place I've been in Iceland. Cats, dogs, rabbits and hens each are kept in a small room. The goats, pigglets, sheeps and cows had more space and were outside with a shed. The girl at the entrance was nice and answerd all the quetions and promised, that the goat would get its hoofs trimmed and the cats and dogs are only fenced in during the opening hours.

Great little farm/playground/bouncy castle. Despite on of the earlier reviews we thought the animals looked very well groomed, kept and quite content!

My kids (3 and 1) loved it. But it seemed a bit cruel to the animals who are kept questionably..

The animals all seemed to be well cared for and had tons of room to engage in their natural behaviours.

Great place for children. adorable animals

Small over priced , horse bit á kid and the junglejim is unsafe

Love it

Park

Good!!

the food was nice but we were waiting for two burgers almost 30 minutes...

Great service. The girl at the counter has been so nice with us tourists giving us valuable infos for out trip. The coffee was great. Tnx!

Only place open in the city at 0130 after being stuck in a blizzard at the Black Sand Beach and driving all day. Pleasantly surprised by the amazing burgers and onion rings! Staff was friendly, fuel prices low. Thoroughly enjoyed accidentally finding this place!!

Very bad experience here in Selfoss the floor and tables are very dirty ( full Of ketchup salad cartons of milk with cocoa and paper. the burgers are cold and without any taste. We asked if someone can clean the table and they said yes of course and nobody came to clean I cleaned it by myself they came to clean after we finish to eat. In Reykjavik they are doing a great job everything is clean and the burgers are very good and taste. I don’t recommend and I will not came anymore.At least not here in Selfoss I’m so disappointed because in the past their burgers was very good 😔 I give one start because doesn’t deserve more.

very dirty uncleaned tables when paying attention to the station operation nothing happened

Amazing waterfall not too crowded when we went

It has happened several times that they do not write the correct price of the fuel on the boards outside. Yesterday there was written 300 ISK per Diesel liter, but then on the pump it was 324.

We had a wonderful stay here! We highly recommend this place. We needed assistance locking our door as we weren’t familiar with the lock. Within 5 min someone had drove over and kindly educated us. Our house was located on the back of the property so we got a view of all they had to offer. It felt homey and welcoming like arriving at a close family member’s house, both inside and outside. Out of all of our wonderful places we stayed, this was our favorite! Food options were limited but the restaurant on site was delicious and service was spot on!

Very well located for the Golden Circle. We had a Superior room which is arranged around a communal dining area and 2 excellent outdoor hot tubs. The whole complex seems like it is fairly new and is very nicely built, with small buildings spread around a central reception / restaurant. It feels clean, modern and stylish. Service was also very good and the restaurant selection for breakfast was great.

Very comfortable rooms, nice and specious with super comfortable beds. The breakfast is great! The didn't clean our rooms although we have specifically asked. They gave us some free drinks to compensate and fresh towels. We stayed for only two nights at the golden circle.

At first I was disappointed it was so far from actual Selfoss but the views at night of the Northern lights made up for that…it’s not in Selfoss it’s about 20 minutes away. So I wanted a place more to walk around and grab dinner and coffee since we would be staying in more rural Vik and Hella. This is all by itself but the accommodations are beautiful - we had a suite so there was a heated gas fire place that was so nice in the chilly evening. Then it was so clear we drove just down the street and parked at a power station pull off and got some amazing shots of the northern lights. They were the best we saw while in Iceland.

Mixed Experience – Room Nice, Service Lacking When we arrived, the welcome was cold. We were told to hurry if we wanted to eat at the restaurant because it would soon be full. We rushed to get a table, but the restaurant was completely empty. The food wasn’t bad, but nothing special either. The large beer was priced as a full-size, yet only 400ml instead of the standard 500ml. The staff seemed uninterested, as if they’d rather be somewhere else—though the food did arrive quickly. The room itself was spacious, clean, and very nice. However, the heating was set to maximum and the room was uncomfortably hot. We had forgotten a toothbrush for our child and asked if they had one. They did, but it cost 800 ISK—something most hotels offer for free. Outside, the hot pots had no lighting. It might be beautiful in summer or under the northern lights, but in pitch darkness it wasn’t enjoyable. Breakfast was another odd experience. The staff cleared plates so quickly that I had to fetch three different ones. My spouse went to get milk for our child, coffee disappeared , and while our child was still holding her bread, her plate disappeared. It felt like the service was a bit too eager—almost intrusive. l

We stayed for one night after completing the Golden Circle route. Room was great, loved the door to the outside in the room. The breakfast was great! Lots of variety! The only thing we did not like is that every other room had outside patio furniture except for us...not sure why, but would have liked that. Also, just to know there are a lot of flies outside, but it's do-able.

Due to drones at Munich Airport, our flight could not take off and our trip did not happen. I asked the hotel manager to be accommodating, as it was not our fault. It would have been customer-friendly if we had received a voucher to spend the nights at the hotel at another time. We were not even reimbursed for the price of breakfast. Not very customer-friendly.
