Kevin
Our stay at Torfhus Retreat was great. The location is perfect for exploring the Golden Circle – we could easily visit major sites without exhausting drives. The hospitality was warm and genuine, making us feel completely at home. One of our favorite surprises was the charming Icelandic horses at the fence from the neighboring farm – we got some wonderful photos of these beautiful creatures.
The food was wonderful throughout our stay. Breakfast provided everything we needed to start our days of adventure, and the four-course dinners each evening were truly memorable. We can't recommend Torfhus Retreat highly enough for anyone planning to explore Iceland's Golden Circle.

Norther lights and amazing dinners
Lisa
Remarkable, outstanding and overall a special experience. The service was nothing short of perfection, food was absolutely delicious and the accommodations were cozy and comfortable. I would highly recommend!
Roger
Excellent food, friendly, love the hot spring spa
Paul
Beautiful but overpriced for amenities provided!
Lovely location. Wonderful main area and kitchen. Food was great!
Hotel rooms (turf houses) are teeny - 1 bedroom house had nowhere to put luggage nor any cabinets to unpack. Bathroom had no place for toiletries. Minimal personal items such as no conditioner, no robes, no slippers.
The advertised private thermal pools are actually shared with two other units.
Since so little needed to be done to upgrade comfort, this could have been a 5-star experience, but didn’t quite feel that way.

Incredible retreat!
William
Great place to stay
This is a very comfortable and unusual place to stay: a modern version of an old turf house. Very quiet and peaceful place; excellent dinner available. My wife and I enjoyed it very much.
Linda
A wonderful two night stay.
Fantastic.
Wonderful staff who couldn’t do enough to make our stay a memorable one.

Clarence
This property is absolutely amazing. We stayed in a 2-bedroom cottage, which included a full kitchen and a private geothermal hot tub. Staff was superb. Breakfast, which is included, was excellent. Dinner, at an additional cost, was fantastic and some of the best meals we have ever had on vacation. I can not say enough good things about this property. Be advised that the nearest grocery store is around 20 minutes and closest town is 30-40 min. We found this property to be the perfect place to base our southern coast exploration. If you are looking for a place in this region, I highly recommend Torfhus Retreat. We will definitely be back to this special property.
Nicole
Go here, eat here, do the wine pairing. It’s fantastic.

We've enjoyed some of the best resorts all over North America, Europe and Asia and this place ranks at the top. Magical.
Salvatore
Amazing experience and service
Amazing accommodations, service and food. I've been to Iceland 6 times and this rates as the best 5 star hotel out of the dozen or so I've stayed at in total.
Verified traveler
Torfus Retreat is an unique luxury experience and a must stay during a trip to Iceland. The owners and entire staff are passionate about making your stay the absolute best. From the dining hall to the basalt soaking pools, the attention to detail throughout the property is fantastic. Jóhannes, the Retreat Manager, even helped us secure our Covid tests prior to leaving the country. Don't miss out on the dinner. We had the tasting menu - full of surprises, even for a vegetarian. So delicious. If you are looking for a centrally located accommodation in the Golden Circle, look no further. You are home!
