My husband and I went for out honeymoon, and this was an amazing trip. Gisli, Elisse and Stella were welcoming, warm, friendly, helpful and just everything you would ask for in tour guides. The food was authentic and amazing; really well prepared, a wide variety of dishes and more than enough, the service was friendly and honest; they made sure... More

We stayed at Heydalur in February 2013. A stunning location with mountains and valley all around. Accommodation at Heydalur is very comfortable and clean. The food is exceptional with fresh warm breads as part of the breakfast offerings. Pack lunches and a 3 course evening meals are all part of the package and you will not go hungry. The excursions...

We went to Heydalur for ptarmigan hunting, the weather was very bad on the way from Reykjavik but we arrived after 5 hours. The rooms are very nice, the service good, breakfast and dinner well above what you could expect. All in all, great place and I will go there again and in summer time.

I stayed here a few nights with my husband and my parents, and we all loved it. We rented one of the cabins on the property, so we had the ability to cook some of our own dinners, but we had breakfast in the restaurant each morning and ate dinner in the restaurant a couple of nights and were never...

We stayed there in late August for two nights in a guesthouse. The guesthouse is very comfortable and clean. The area is very quiet and the landscape is great. We did a two hour horse riding trip, which was nice as well. The horses are calm and quite easy to handle. We had lunch and dinner which was well prepared... More

We were staying on the campsite, so I can't comment on the guesthouse, but we went to the restaurant twice in two days, ate a lot and were never disappointed. Fish or meat, starter or main course - everything tasted wonderful and did really taste special. Usually my wife lets me have a bite of her dinner to taste -... More

We only stayed 1 night, but Heydalur Guesthouse is a wonderful place. The food is amongst the best we've had in Iceland, especially the lamb fillets and the almond cake, all cooked so well by Stella in the kitchen. The restaurant is very appealing with a warm decor and temperature. Everyone is so friendly that you almost feel part of... More

We had a fantastic stay at Heydalur. We arrived around 2pm and set up a horse back riding trip and some kayaking. At 4pm we went out with Cedilla for a 90 minute ride. She took us galloping back to the valley (well not always galloping - but going pretty fast most of the time!) through a river, and through... More

I stayed here with my husband and we were not all that satisfied with our stay. Good thing is that the people were very friendly and the restaurant serves excellent & very reasonably priced food. However, the room was the worst we have stayed in during our 18 days roundtrip through Iceland. For some reason we got a room suited... More

The rooms are described as deluxe but were fairly basic with 2 beds, 2 chairs a small table and a kettle (no tea or coffee!). The walls were also extremely thin as we could hear the guests snoring in the next room! However, this guesthouse is in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by lovely scenery and we were lucky...
