I can see why Hali Country Hotel gets good ratings. The rooms are small and very basic, but they are extremely clean and have a private bathroom which is priceless lol The property is beautiful, and it’s a pleasure just to walk around, but the restaurant is a real stand out. The food was wonderful, and it is attached to a museum which was also an unexpected pleasure. The entire staff was delightful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

Room was comfortable but a little too warm. Beds could be better at supporting the back. Worn out actually. Restaurant and manager were good. They could have provided coffee and tea as well as a small refrigerator in the room. The coffee machine in the commons area did not work, but I could reboot it by pulling the plug and re-plugging.

Very quiet area. The cottage was huge and very clean. It was also very quiet. However, if you are thinking about booking here, you should know that the hotel is in the middle of nowhere. There are no grocery stores or restaurants nearby. They have a restaurant, but the menu is limited and not kid friendly. Our room had a kitchenette so, if we had known about the limited options for dinner, we would have bought groceries in Vik.

This is an absolutely beautiful location with friendly staff, great food, and clean, comfortable rooms for a reasonable price. The property feels homey, and we would have loved to stay longer than just one night. The were very accommodating to add a fourth bed to a 3-person room, and though they said it would be tight, there was still plenty of space. The restaurant was very expensive, even by Icelandic standards, but the food was good and the convenience of eating on the property after a long day of activities was great. Breakfast was perfect with a lot of homemade items.

The room was decent size, safe and quiet. There was a fridge in the common area that guests could use. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was included and it had a large selection. Like other hotels in Europe, they don’t supply washcloths. The surroundings were beautiful.

I was quite disappointed with the cleanliness of the apartment. The kitchen utensils—including pots, pans, cutlery, plates, and cups—clearly had not been properly cleaned. Many of the items were put away wet, which was unhygienic and unpleasant. It appeared as though the property relies on guests to clean their own dishes, but for the price I paid, I expected a higher standard of housekeeping and a thorough clean between stays. The bathroom was also lacking in basic amenities. There were no toiletries provided, apart from a single bottle of hand wash. Additionally, there was no shower caddy or shelf to place our own products, which made things inconvenient. On a more positive note, the staff at both the reception and the onsite restaurants were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was included in our stay and officially started at 7:30am. Since we had an early departure, the staff kindly offered to prepare packed breakfasts for us, which we really appreciated. Another major convenience is that if you're joining a tour with Glacier Adventure, their pickup point is located just outside the property—very handy for early starts. While the location and staff were excellent, the lack of cleanliness and basic amenities in the apartment really detracted from the overall experience.

Quick overnight stay.

Short overnight stay. Hotel is small but comfortable. The room was small but had two windows so you didn't feel claustrophobic. Cleaning staff were very helpful.
