Salthús Guesthouse in Skagaströnd – A Peaceful Icelandic Retreat This was our second time staying at Salthús Guesthouse, and it continues to be a hidden gem in Iceland. The drive there alone is breathtaking, with stunning views of the landscape. The guesthouse is located near a cliff where you can gaze out at the vast ocean—if you’re lucky, it’s a perfect spot to photograph the aurora borealis. However, keep in mind that it’s a windy area. A short drive away is Kálfshamarsvík, home to a square-shaped lighthouse surrounded by green grass and basalt columns along the sea. It’s an amazing spot for photos and a must-see for nature lovers. The guesthouse itself offers comfortable beds and clean, spacious rooms. The two-story building is beautiful, but I recommend contacting the property if you have difficulty with stairs. For those who love nature and want to escape the crowds, this remote location is perfect. The peace and serenity you’ll feel here are truly unique. Since there aren’t many dining options nearby, be sure to stop at a grocery store and take advantage of the guesthouse’s fully equipped kitchen. Alternatively, the B&S restaurant is a 20-minute drive away, and there’s a nearby seasonal restaurant within walking distance. If you’re seeking tranquility and a beautiful setting, Salthús Guesthouse is the place to be.

There are only a few parking spots near the hotel. We never saw a hotel worker once. They said to let ourselves in, and leave the key in the door on the way out.

Large room with a sea view. Parking by the door. Shared kitchen with coffee and tea. Geothermal hot water (although some may not like it) is a great new experience. A nice restaurant with icelandic food and pizza in walking distance. There is a great 2km hike along the cliffs (beware of seagulls) that starts almost at the doors. Area may not be very picturesque but this is definitely a great option if you need to spend a night in the area.

Very nice room and we enjoyed the kitchen facilities since there is limited dining in the area. They had a wonderful binder of information about the area and story of a Icelandic murder mystery.

True to its value, this is a beautiful property in a beautiful little town. There is only one restaurant in the area and it is absolutely wonderful. Really liked the rooms, and cleanliness. It had a well stocked kitchen and we could use the washer and drier at this family. The only thing we could ask for was better blinds. Its hard to sleep with so much light inside the room

This was a nice hotel off of the beaten track. Our room was clean and spacious. We were warned that the hot water had a sulphur smell but it quickly went away after using the sink. We would have no problem staying here again.

Not sure why Salthus is only rated 2 stars but in my opinion is better than 3 stars. Clean, warm comfortable bed and room(twin) with plenty of space. Large accessible shower & toilet room. Parking at door. Fully equipped kitchen although only I only made toast. Wonderful views of sea and mountains. Great walk nearby around sea cliffs. I did not meet any staff as self check in. Only a 15 minute drive from Bluondos. Thoroughly recommended.

Rooms were so tiny we had to buy a second room
We had great communication with the property and they were so accommodating. However, when we showed up, we walked into the room and couldn't really fit. There was no where to store our bags and we ended up having to buy a second room just so we could sleep comfortably. However, the joint kitchen was lovely - we had a large fridge we could use and enjoyed the space until late in the evening.
