Great spot, top notch. Views were amazing and walk to the black sand beach area easy and straight forward. There was a list to be awakened if Northern Lights showed (which they did) and really appreciated that option.

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome. The staff were always attentive and friendly while still being down to earth. Both breakfast and dinner were just lovely, with locally sourced ingredients and creative cocktails. The sauna and yoga room proved necessary at the end of each day of hiking and exploring the area - it’s so close to Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss, Solheimajökull, Reynisfjara, and Vik. This is a beautiful property, with awe-inspiring scenery from every angle, so bring your camera. The walk to the beach takes a bit longer than they say, but it’s worth it. We got lucky early on our first evening with a short but unexpected burst of aurora activity - just standing outside looking at the stars in the right place at the right time! - but they do have a wake-up service for anyone wishing to see the northern lights when they start up. My only (minor) demerit was for the bed comfort, but it’s certainly not the worst I’ve had in Iceland or anywhere else in Europe, so it’s barely worth mentioning. I will definitely return to UMI! <3

A gorgeous property. The black sand beach was incredible. The restaurant was first class. The breakfast was plentiful. I prefer showers with lips so that the water doesn’t flood. Very enjoyable, albeit pricey.

Not good value for money - at $600/ night and an exceptional rating I had high expectations and this was not met. Breakfast was very poor. Meals in restaurant hit or miss (gnocchi was inedible not only for me but a lady at a nearby table said she had sent it back the night before). During the day, ironing boards are out in the hallway for the linens - have never seen this before. The welcome gift of a bottle sparking wine was a miniature for 2 guests. Overall disappointing and would not be back.

I had a wonderful experience here—the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. The location is absolutely beautiful, with easy access to the beach just a short stroll away. It’s also conveniently close to plenty of great restaurants, shops, and local attractions.

Beautiful, small boutique hotel in great location off the Ring road route near Skógafoss and 30 min from Dyrhólaey and black sand beach. Staff is lovely and dinner is great. It is somewhat isolated so dining at the hotel is the easiest as it’s probably a 40 minute drive to Vik. There is a 15 min private walk on property to black sand beach with virtually no one in sight for miles - stunning. At night horses came from the nearby farm to drink from the little pond outside our window and guests were feeding them. A great, peaceful hotel.
