The staff was fabulous. Friendly, helpful and the vibe was more like a visit with friends than a hotel. We rode horses a first for both of us and the guides and stable folks were terrific. Location is good for site seeing in the Vik area. The rooms were comfortable. 10/10.

My wife and I had an excellent one night stay at Skalakot Manor Hotel as part of our 12 day tour of Iceland. The hotel was great, our room was really nice and the spa was fantastic! Staff and breakfast were great too. We did a one hour horse riding tour on the morning we check out which was delightful - would highly recommend it! Daria was our guide and she was great!

Wonderful base for this part of Iceland

A great base for exploring south (southwestern) Iceland! Superb staff - friendly and professional - made the visit memorable beyond the spectacular landscape of Iceland. Food was excellent - occasionally a bit heavy but some dishes were extraordinary - the tomato consommé and the saffron risotto with pork cheeks

Quaint and Classy

Immediately at check in we were greeted with warmth and helpfulness. He took time to give us a tour of the property and amenities while someone else brought our bags up to the room. Our room on the third dloor was beautiful with a balcony that overlooked the farm.

The chef was incredible. The food was amazing and exceptional. The bar had unique and delicious cocktails, as well as an acceptable wine list. However, the property is very isolated and has very few amenities. The experience will be weather dependent. If bad weather, you are in remote area and feel stuck with very little to do. Local tour companies do not pick up at property and you must drive to their base camp, we found it scary and a little dangerous driving back to property at night. I must empathize, the staff could not be more kind and accommodating with what they have to work with, so a very nice group of people.

I have traveled extensively over the past 20 years, and Skalakot is easily one of my favorite and most memorable hotels. Skalakot hotel is nestled between a beautiful view of the ocean horizon and a backdrop of awe inspiring mountains whilst also sitting in a tiny town and on a small farm-like property with Icelandic horses. Then, the inside of the hotel is soaked in charm and coziness. The finishes are on point, and the bedroom view was perfect. Next, the dining lived up to the hype, in particular the chowder and goulash. Furthermore, although we did not opt to use it, the spa looked really nice and very tempting. Lastly, the personnel were so nice and kind. I'm so grateful I ended up staying here.

This small Inn was located in a lovely setting with a great view of the Westman Islands. The staff were so gracious and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were fantastic - especially the mussels and the bread! The spa with hot tub and sauna were terrific. A great experience for the equestrians with trail rides available! A very special place indeed. Deborah

Charming hotel in beautiful surroundings

We have a lovely one night stay at Skalakot. It’s very charming, simple hotel in beautiful surroundings. The bed was comfy and the shower was good. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The spa was small but nice, gets quite cramped if there are more than 4 people in there. I think it would benefit from an outdoor hot tub. Dinner was nice, breakfast was ok.

Adorable Inn, great location between Glacier Bay and Reykjavik near the Black Sand Beach. We stayed two nights. I rode the one hour ride to Irafoss while my husband hiked the gorgeous countryside. Very mountainous and multiple trail options. I wish I had chosen the longer ride as the ponies famous gait, the Tölt, is as smooth as silk and their horses were fabulous. Skálakot Manor is in a cute little valley with sheep, a couple houses and a church. Friendly place with lovely amenities. Great spa area with glass sliders that open up to view of the valley. I also got a great massage while there. Loved the food and at the end of the day they light a little fire upstairs in the sitting area. Heads up-don’t get the smallest room like we did. It is tiny w a minuscule bathroom.

This was our second trip to Iceland, this time without the kids. Skalakot Manor was fabulous! The breakfast was to die for, and the dinners were equally exquisite. Laid back and very restful! The sauna and hot tub were welcoming every afternoon once the sun was setting before dinner. We got to see the northern lights one night immediately outside our door. Couldn’t have been a better place to celebrate our anniversary. We are already planning our return trip!
