Set within 41 km of Seljalandsfoss and 45 km of Thjofafoss in Hella, Loa's Nest features accommodation with seating area. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The guest house also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. We like the location, the check-in procedure, the cleanliness of the whole building, the size of the room and toilet, kitchen, the dining area, etc. The sound proof is superb. The bed is so comfy. The waffle cooked by the owner was wonderful. The surrounding is beautiful.

Bjork Guesthouse, a property with a garden, is located in Laugarvatn, 25 km from Thingvellir National Park, 29 km from Geysir, as well as 39 km from Gullfoss Waterfall. This guest house provides free private parking and full-day security. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. This place was great and definitely the cheapest one we had during our 12-day trip in Iceland. It was clean , spacious ,nicely decorated with a view to the lake. Location was very convenient near the golden circle sightseeing. The owners gave us a full bar of Icelandic chocolate as a welcoming gift. Very generous of them. We really hope you keep the price low and the rooms clean and neat in the future!

Lækjaborgir Guesthouse is located in Kálfafell, 26 km east of Kirkjubæjarklaustur. Free WiFi is offered throughout the property and free private parking is available on site.

Lækjaborgir Guesthouse also includes a terrace with a seating area. Perfect location, one of our highlight stays in Iceland. Loved the scenery. We spent the night in a little house-cabin. Loved it. Check in was very easy, clear directions from the owners, and since it was paid we didn't have any restrictions. Loved it.

Guesthouse Bitra B&B’s simple rooms have either private or shared bathroom facilities. They provide views of Mount Hekla or the surrounding countryside.

Bitra Guesthouse is a 40-minute drive from Reykjavík. Thingvellir National Park and Geysir are 50 km away. Northern Lights spotting is possible during winter. We had a great stay at the guesthouse on top of the hill. The location is great next to the cross roads of Golden Circle and the road to south coast. The facilities were in really great shape and the rooms were comfy and clean.

The guest house is equipped with a flat-screen TV. The kitchen comes with a dishwasher, an oven and a toaster and there is a private bathroom with a hair dryer and free toiletries. This guest house is non-smoking and soundproof. Easy check-in, quick wapp response to question. Very new building, so everything still nice and new. Room was of a good size, everything was very clean. Comfortable beds, great shower. Room has outside door which leads onto a patio. Nice views outside of the mountains and also some horses nearby. Very big and clean shared kitchen area, that also includes a sitting area with couches. Great location, very near Gullfoss waterfall. We did not use the kitchen for dinner, only for breakfast, and it had everything we needed. We were the only guests which made for a lovely quiet stay.

Set 39 km from Geysir, Minniborgir Cabins features accommodation in Minni-Borg with access to a hot tub. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house has private entrance. I’d recommend this stay for everyone but especially for groups or families since it is a whole house. The kitchen’s equipment was excellent and the bed was really comfortable. It was better than I thought it would be! Definitely will come back for this one!
