This small Inn was located in a lovely setting with a great view of the Westman Islands. The staff were so gracious and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were fantastic - especially the mussels and the bread! The spa with hot tub and sauna were terrific. A great experience for the equestrians with trail rides available! A very special place indeed. Deborah

My wife and I had an excellent one night stay at Skalakot Manor Hotel as part of our 12 day tour of Iceland. The hotel was great, our room was really nice and the spa was fantastic! Staff and breakfast were great too. We did a one hour horse riding tour on the morning we check out which was delightful - would highly recommend it! Daria was our guide and she was great!

Charming hotel in beautiful surroundings

We have a lovely one night stay at Skalakot. It’s very charming, simple hotel in beautiful surroundings. The bed was comfy and the shower was good. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The spa was small but nice, gets quite cramped if there are more than 4 people in there. I think it would benefit from an outdoor hot tub. Dinner was nice, breakfast was ok.

The chef was incredible. The food was amazing and exceptional. The bar had unique and delicious cocktails, as well as an acceptable wine list. However, the property is very isolated and has very few amenities. The experience will be weather dependent. If bad weather, you are in remote area and feel stuck with very little to do. Local tour companies do not pick up at property and you must drive to their base camp, we found it scary and a little dangerous driving back to property at night. I must empathize, the staff could not be more kind and accommodating with what they have to work with, so a very nice group of people.

Adorable Inn, great location between Glacier Bay and Reykjavik near the Black Sand Beach. We stayed two nights. I rode the one hour ride to Irafoss while my husband hiked the gorgeous countryside. Very mountainous and multiple trail options. I wish I had chosen the longer ride as the ponies famous gait, the Tölt, is as smooth as silk and their horses were fabulous. Skálakot Manor is in a cute little valley with sheep, a couple houses and a church. Friendly place with lovely amenities. Great spa area with glass sliders that open up to view of the valley. I also got a great massage while there. Loved the food and at the end of the day they light a little fire upstairs in the sitting area. Heads up-don’t get the smallest room like we did. It is tiny w a minuscule bathroom.

This was our second trip to Iceland, this time without the kids. Skalakot Manor was fabulous! The breakfast was to die for, and the dinners were equally exquisite. Laid back and very restful! The sauna and hot tub were welcoming every afternoon once the sun was setting before dinner. We got to see the northern lights one night immediately outside our door. Couldn’t have been a better place to celebrate our anniversary. We are already planning our return trip!

Stunning property with staff that goes above and beyond to give you the full boutique hotel experience! The location is great, close to many locations along the south coast. The restaurant on site was excellent, breakfast included had a great variety, we enjoyed everything we ate here for 2 nights! We had onsite massages that the staff pre-arranged for us before we arrived and enjoyed the onsite spa. One of the top hotels I have stayed at. I would recommend to anyone coming to Iceland. We were able to see the northern lights a short drive away from the hotel
