A friendly, young lad checked us in. He made recommendations of tourist areas to see around this location. We had a cozy cabin with a table and 2 chairs, which is always nice. Easy parking near cabin. Our cabin had a great heat with a beautiful view. Our cabin was bunk beds. Bathroom was small but very clean. Be cautious how much hot water you use as it's a very small hot water tank that is mounted over the shower. We had a delicious meal in their restaurant the night we arrived, and we really enjoyed it. They have a lovely cold cut breakfast buffet with delicious baked breads.

Steps up to our cabin were rickety and need some maintenance. :)

I rarely write five-star reviews, as it is not often I find places that warrant such a high accolade. Hunkubakkar is definitely one of those places that gets 5 from me. We stayed overnight enroute to Keflavik. I had requested a late check-in time (around 930PM), and we pulled in around 10, and were welcomed regardless of being a tad late. They were very accomodating and communicative with questions and such. Examplary customer service as far as I'm concerned. The guesthouse we stayed in was quaint, clean, and well put together. We had to leave early (around 7AM, so missed Breakfast), but the property was very well maintained and looked gorgeous. We have been regretting not being able to stay for a few extra hours. If you can, stay for their dinner at the restaurant - while we personally arrived too late to eat, it was our faullt we missed our chance for what we heard later from folks was some amazing food. So avail yourself to the dinner if at all possible. Finally, something worth noting. I had left my expensive earbuds accidentally in one of the rooms. They emailed me to let me know (again, 5 stars on the service just for that). Not only that, but they shipped them back to our place in North America and are enroute as I'm writing this. I'm not sure what to say except that we will definitely be returning if in Iceland again, and we shall bring along some of our made in Quebec maple syrup for the owners as a thank you.

Nothing that I can think of. Before we went I was telling my co-traveler that it took me a while to find a place on the Southern end of the Island because there was a lot of choices, and that we needed something in a very central location. I somewhat hesitantly settled on Hunkubakkar as somewhere to quickly crash for the night. In hindsight, this was a bad idea on our end as we missed out on a ton of what they had to offer! They are on my list of places to travel to again and spend a bit longer at next time!

Extremely polite staff! We had a room in a house of two rooms and one bathroom with toilet. The room was very small, but very cute-with small table and chairs next to the window. The room also had a sink and a tap. The bathroom was very and warm.

Because the entire house is madе out of thin wood it may be quite noisy if the guests in the other room are not quite. The hot watter comes from a boiler in the bathroom so you have to be quick with the shower.

Everyone was very kind and welcoming. The location is really nice and very close to one of the main attractions in the area. Our room was nice and we had a private sink too. The bathroom was only shared with another couple so we never had to wait. The breakfast was good and served in a lovely common area! The restaurant is also delicious and worth a try!

I would consider adding blinding curtains to the room's windows.

Location is good, make sure you visit Fjaðrárgljúfur while in the area, it is right there & very beautiful. Room was warm, quiet, clean, comfortable mattress. I had a shared bathroom but it was clean & there were no issues as other guests were clean & respectful. Fun part was that you get like your own tiny house, it's a fun interesting experience, especially if aurora is around. It is very quiet both in the room I really enjoyed dinner course menu, I think it was worth the money & the quality was definitely very good. They were also accepting & accommodating of my dietary restrictions, thank you! And the dinner was especially nice with a great choice of calm jazzy evening music - very relaxing after a long day. It was one of the most memorable dinner experiences while in Iceland, I really enjoyed it. Breakfast was OK, with usual options in Icelandic hotels/guesthouses. Check in/out was quick, seamless. Staff very nice all the time. Parking free on premises.

We stayed in one of the huts for 1 night - there were two rooms in our hut with one shared bathroom. The hut was warm and clean. Breakfast had good variety of food. We had dinner in the restaurant as well and both the lamb and the fish were delicious! The location is great - quiet & peaceful area a few minutes away from the amazing Fjadrargljufur canyon.

Shower drain was clogged. Also bathroom doors could get fixed so you don’t have to bang on the door everytime you wanna close it but that’s just a detail

The restaurant was delicious and fresh. The breakfast was ample in variety and was welcome to kick off our day. We had 2 rooms with a shared bathroom with another couple we traveled with. Relatively simple rooms, but the whole cabin and central area ambiance was really nice. We used the common room to play games one night. Each morning, we had a wonderful sunrise with sheep softly baaing

Our shower didn't drain very well so each person had to wait a little bit after someone else.

Location: On a side road off Route 1, opposite a farm. Fantastic views from the property. Room: There are individual wooden cottages on the property with a small verandah and attached bathroom. It is like a mountain cabin but with modern amenities like electricty, hot water, bathroom, etc. - rather quaint but we liked it. There was a small dining/ writing table and three chairs and a couple of space heaters in the room. Bed was very comfortable. I can imagine that it would be a perfect spot to watch and photograph the Northern lights (there is very little light pollution). Though we had a clear night sky when we stayed, unfortunately, the Northern lights were not on display. Free parking was available close to our cottage. Staff was very courteous.

Breakfast: Was rather basic. Bathroom was very small with the wash basin being very close to the WC. The only mirror in the cabin is a small one in the bathroom. Was it worth the money we paid? We think not.

Excellent guesthouse with very nice room and setting. The on-site restaurant is excellent and the staff could not be any better. One of the best facilities that we stayed in during our Iceland adventure. The only downside was the breakfast, nothing hot served. The breakfast was basically ham, cheese, cereals. I was expecting at least boiled or scrambled eggs since the restaurant for dinner was so good.

Breakfast room was lovely. Food was good, homemade bread was the best. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was far too small, water would leak on to the floor when using the very small sink. I would not want to stay another night due to the very small bathroom. Everything else was lovely, the room was very clean and the area was amazing and beautiful.

The bathroom.
