Room was very basic and a bit tired. The shower tray did not drain sufficiently quickly so there was a risk that it flooded. I reported it on leaving so hopefully it will be fixed for the next guests.
We ate dinner at the restaurant one night and it was very good indeed. It was such a shock how bad the breakfast was. (I don't really understand how a lot of people said that it was great). It doesn't take much effort to put butter or other spreads in a bowl or dish but they were served straight from the packet or jar. Surprised that there were no eggs (not even boiled eggs which would have been simple to prepare). And a limit of just one type of cheese and meat.

The property backs up to a butte with adorable sheep grazing and 2 minutes from a famous canyon. It is peaceful and beautiful. The staff are extremely friendly and the breakfast was perfect and light. A very pleasant experience 10/10 recommend.

Stayed one night here and loved the vibe & feel of the cabins.
Staff were friendly & courteous.
To top it off, I got to witness the start of Iceland’s ‘réttir’, which was truly amazing.
The breakfast, however, was continental and basic compared to other hotels I stayed at during my 17-day trip to Iceland.

The cabins we’re comfortable and located on an idyllic setting. The dinner was phenomenal (we had the lamb). It was the best meal on our trip! The breakfast was included and was cold choices but delicious. Would highly recommend!

The cabin was really cute and clean, pretty new condition. the bathroom is tinny. The staff was super friendly and their restaurant was very good. The lamb was so tasty, it was from their home raised sheep. Enjoyed our stay!

The entire property drips rustic charm. Cabins are spotless and comfortable, and the main breakfast area is very clean and comfortable. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We stayed 2 nights and used this property as a base for exploring this part of the country.

This property is a little way off the Ring road, but very quiet. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was nice. They do serve dinner there,however we did not eat at the guesthouse.

Clean, cozy and no nonsense check in. Breakfast was delicious - fresh, chilled, sliced tomato. Bread, cheese, orange juice . . . . Great stay!

We have a wonderful stay at Hunkubakkar Guesthouse. The location is wonderful, across from what appears to be a working farm and just down the road from a gorge you can visit. We had a beautiful cottage that was clean, warm, and cozy. The best part of our visit was the dinner we had in the restaurant attached to the guesthouse--the best dinner we had in Iceland: local lamb, fish, and all three delicious desserts! The location was beautifully idyllic and we definitely want to return.

The cutest place to stay with wonderful Icelandic view! Close to the Canyon, to a small village and to other falls. Great check in. Restaurant on site. Clean. No TV, but who needs it there? WiFi is good too.

Beautiful setting. Rustic but nice cabins. Nice breakfast and we had a good dinner there. We were travelling with our adult daughter and the cabin had two big beds which was nice but having at least a curtain to draw over one of them would have been nice. Also was a little pricey vs other places we stayed with more creature comforts. Overall though a nice place with very nice staff.

Cutesy well appointed cabins in a camp style setting. Comfortable beds. Very close(1 km walk) to the Fjadargjufur Canyon. Staff is very friendly and considerate. We were going to leave early the next day before their breakfast started so they packed breakfast to go for us. Restaurant on site serves excellent lamb and arctic char locally sourced.Overall great experience.
