John
Let's just start with the pros: Helpful staff, terrific views of a glacier during your morning breakfast, and a hot tub to boot! Beds are comfy and clean. Also, there's a free breakfast which can be quite yummy to start the day right. Some particular cons to staying here, as the location is a tad on the older side, some of the rooms have clogged sinks that don't drain well, not to mention the showers have a bit of mold/mildew around the corners of them. Also, like many showers in Europe/Iceland, they seem to love the lip/rim-less shower so waters goes everywhere. Maybe I'm just a spoiled American but I'm not a fan of this, but YMMV. There's also a ton of bugs/biting flies in this area, and there are no screens so beware of biting flies in the warmer months. The ventilation is somewhat poor in the rooms due to this conundrum, flies vs warm/stuffy room. A reasonable stay if you're only there 1 night but I wouldn't stay more than that.
Richard
Huge rooms with a vast view of the valley.
Guanghan
Could not find the staff when we checked out.
joseph c
Tremendous view, spacious room, friendly staff.
Faith
Views and hot tubs were amazing
Greg
We really enjoyed our stay at Glacier World Hoffell. The location was beautiful, and the room felt modern, clean, and nicely renovated. The bathroom was very clean, I loved the shower soaps, and the bed was comfortable. One of the best parts was the view from our windows. We could see the glacier right from our room, and during our stay we also saw reindeer, horses, and sheep, which made the setting feel extra special.
Having access to the hot tubs was amazing and very much appreciated after a long day of glacier hiking and waterfall hiking. Breakfast the next morning was good, and the staff we interacted with were kind and helpful. They even let us borrow bowls so we could have soup in our room the night we arrived, which we really appreciated.
The only issue was that we were woken up around 11 p.m. by a very loud fire alarm. There was definitely not a fire, and my guess is that it may have been triggered by steam from another guest’s shower or by a malfunctioning alarm. Guests followed the posted instructions and stood outside in the cold rain for more than 30 minutes before anpther guest's travel agent contacted the fire department and firemen and a hotel employee arrived to turn it off. I understand false alarms can happen, but a clearer emergency protocol, a number that is answered after hours, and a little more follow-up afterward would have helped.

This hotel was both great value and a highlight of the trip. Sitting in the hot tub and sauna, a mild breeze, a few snowflakes and a stunning vista of the mountains. Highly recommended.
Stacy-Jo
Everything was great.
Adam
Really nice place to stay. After a busy day the included hot tub was a real bonus.
Alec
Beautiful view and breakfast was included, room was also very nice.
stephen
Arrive early so you can enjoy the hot tub& view. Beautiful setting and view from room. Comfortable bed and great breakfast and view in dining area.
Malin
Lovely stay
Lovely set hotel. We had a nice big and clean room. Friendly staff and we finished our long drive there with a nice dip in the geothermal pool and a cold beer.
Christina
The hot tubs were wonderful- service excellent and location beautiful!
Rachel
A must stay on your Ring Road journey!
Delightful stay at Glacier World! Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anyone visiting Iceland especially on a budget. Lovely front desk gal (named started with an “M” I believe) made us sandwiches and gave us fruit to go since we wouldn’t make breakfast the next day. Cozy reception area. Strong WiFi. 10/10 hospitality.
adam
The part of the building I was in seemed brand new but seems as if it was rushed to put together. Quite and beautiful views with an excellent breakfast.
Margaret
One tongue of the glacier was almost right next to the guest house!! The location - right off of the ring road and close to Hofn - was very convenient.
Lorne
Fine for stopover from ring road
Room was comfy enough but tv didnt work and should be removed. Breakfast was basic, juice was terrible (diluted?) Didnt use hot tubs as were a distance from actual property. View was lovely from room. Fine for one night stop over. Obviously making improvements but no noise or activity during our stay.
Ahmed
Beautiful location, excellent staff
Christian
Beautiful farm country. Picturesque breakfast dining area. Nice people. Close to Hofn. One hour to the icebergs. Get gas in Hofn before you haed out.
Magdalena
Beautiful property! Stunning views all around, very close to Hofn! The room was spotless and very modern! Martyna (the host) was the best, making sure we felt comfortable the entire stay! Breakfast was included and delicious! 10/10 recommend!
Cheryl
Absolutely loved the geothermal pools that were available here.
HANNAH
Basic, fine for a night. No luxury/comfort.
Room- bathroom lacked shampoo, etc. One pillow, and bedding not great.
Breakfast - very basic.
Communication before we arrived was super helpful as we were arriving late but little interaction when there even when trying to hand key back in.
Beautiful view of glacier.

Off the beaten path and quant little hotel. Hot tubs were a fun addition.
Clorisse
The amazing views. The hot tubs are a must do! Rooms were nice and clean. Breakfast was good.
Thomas
We enjoyed staying here. Staff were nice. Breakfast was good. They had thermal hot springs associated with the hotel that were fun to use, which was nice.
Keri
We saw northern lights from the road. The room was spacious. The drain wasn’t great, the TV didn’t work and there was no hear, it was really cold. The location was magnificent!
Sonaly
Great secluded place near Hofn. Beautiful scenery!
Teresa
Nice clean property- breakfast was acceptable- not good but acceptable- glacier view was beautiful- fire alarms at 2 AM really affected sleep but you can't make people behave
Ermin
Clean, spacious rooms. Free breakfast was decent. Would stay again.
Alexandra
The property was really nice and located right by the Glacier. Please be aware of the geothermal pool hours as they do have operating hours which you can find on Google. The tubs closed at 9:30p and we were disappointed since it’s not clear on any website what those are unless you specifically find it on Google. Staff was friendly and breakfast good. Great views.
David
Nice stay. Room had good blackout curtains
Small b&b kind of in the middle of nowhere with a great view of the glaciers outflow area. Rooms were nice, clean, and had great blackout curtains. The breakfast was good. Staff friendly. There’s horses and sheep in the property next door so it was neat to watch them
BALDEV
Hotel is a gem in the middle of nowhere. Amazing view of the Glacier and an evening relaxing in the hot spring with a glass wine was just perfection. Easy hike to edge of hotel. Hostess was very gracious and helpful. Breakfast simple but tasty, coffee awesome.
Maria
It was a great stayed
Virginia
The setting is what makes this property exceptional, as it provides a perfect, close view of the nearby glacier, with Icelandic horses in the foreground--absolute epic!
Andriy
Wonderful hotel, our best experience in Iceland. The rooms were clean, warm and spacious, the view from the room was spectacular. Make sure you use the hot tubs, we used them on our last day in Iceland in the early morning, and that was our most memorable experience.
Lea
Beautiful
Ying
The location is not far from the glacier, the room is clean, very nice hotel
Marie-Charlotte
Everything was great! The receptionist who checked us in - didn’t catch his name - was very kind. I believe, however, that they ran out of the type of rooms we booked and gave us a mobility accessible room instead. I think it should have been mentioned at check in, but no big deal.
Lynn
Wonderful staff ( they even gave us an electrical converter after ours was lost !), wonderful breakfast and we saw the northern lights! Perfect stay!
Michael
come on it is Glacier World. The view, the hot springs baths, the staff, the room all were fantastic
Michelle
This guesthouse is located in an extremely beautiful location and is by itself so that it feels very private. Guests have access to the hot spring pools, which are lovely and, again, just in the best location. The scenery is amazing. The staff is wonderful and helpful and the rooms are very nice.
David
Great location for a glacier walk. Staff was great working with us on a late checkout. Great breakfast buffet!
Bonnie
We were excited to stay here because of the view of the glacier, and enjoyed our stay. Our room was clean and we had a beautiful view of horses and caribou! grazing just outside our window in a grassy field. We could also see the glacier off in the distance from our room window and from the dining room and deck right off the dining area. The breakfast had lots of choices. The staff was very friendly and communicative with us. We highly recommend!
V.
Very nice place! Clean and great breakfast
Carlo
The host was amazing! Views were amazing of the glacier out our window!!!
Verified traveler
We paid extra for the geothermal spa amenities that were not operational..,.. the room and location was overpriced and under served
Saeed
Very nice and clean geusthouse woth friendly staff. Great location . Close to Glacier.
Verified traveler
Location was nice, a little outside of Hofn. The hot tubs are a 2 min drive away. The room and towels smelled weird.
Verified traveler
Great views, geothermal hot tubs and good included breakfast.
Verified traveler
Good, not great
Stayed here for one night while on a road trip around Iceland. The place was very basic, almost felt like a hostel except with a private bath. Reception was very nice, but the room was small and the towels smelled of mildew. Also, the breakfast was very small and the free hot tubs are down the road and you must cross over a locked fence to get to them. We went to them, but they didn't look clean and it felt like we were at a construction site. Overall a basic place with a very high price. Probably would not stay here again.
