Great views and cozy atmosphere
Beautiful location with friendly staff. The main house where checkin and breakfast happened was warm and welcoming. Very cute rooms! One thing to note, is it does require a gravel road a bit off the Ring Road. We didn’t mind this, and it was still easy to find

We absolutely loved this property! As soon as we arrived we were greeted in the most welcoming way by staff. Clubhouse stays open late into the evening if you want a hot drink before bed or a cozy space to relax outside of your room. The view is glorious! We stayed in the fall and the colors were amazing with the glacier and mountains in the background. Breakfast was included and had great options to start our day. We would stay here again in a heartbeat if we are in the area!

We liked the views from main lobby, they had home made cookies, which my kids loved. Host at the lobby are very friendly, they made chocolate milk for my kids and we got to drink freshly brewed amazing coffee. They offer really good food, very cozy and comfortable place to stay. Road to get to the place is not paved, other than that we really enjoyed the place a lot.

A room with a view- and delicious food!
Booked this guest house on the spur of the moment- and I’m so glad I did! I couldn’t be more satisfied with the property or the service. I highly recommend eating the home cooked dinner prepared by the host, everything she made was fantastic. If you choose not to eat dinner in the main house it’s a bit of a drive to eat anywhere else.

Our second 2 night stay at this guesthouse. The owners were not on site this time and the young international staff did a perfect job in making us welcome. The evening dinner was just as good as we remembered from before and so nice to chat to other guests. We are sad to hear they the owners are selling up and retiring though much deserved. We hope the new owners will keep the evening meal option and the special atmosphere of this place.

Best stay during our 2 week trip to Iceland!! Do not miss this wonderful gem of a guesthouse! Incredibly warm and welcoming hostess and staff. Our family stayed here and Natalia went out of her way to make our stay special. Elin accommodated my daughter’s food allergy and the dinner she and her staff prepared for us was our best meal -out of many wonderful meals-in Iceland!! We will always remember our stay here and would recommend Glacier View Guesthouse (and the marvelous dinner!) to anyone!! A highlight of our trip!
