Really lovely stay, Loa's is easy to find, clean and tidy with everything you need, including advice about the local area. The breakfast waffles and homemade jam are a yummy extra touch! Would definitely recommend :)

Our stay at Loa’s Nest was memorable, especially our conversation with the delightful owners, so hospitable and informative. The advertised waffles were delicious, but the menu could have been expanded a bit.

This is one of my favourite places I’ve ever stayed on any trip. Very comfortable. Amazing showers. Comfortable beds. Access to amenities to cook own food and make coffee and tea. My daughter said it was the best hot chocolate ever. In morning you have awesome waffles made for you. I am excited to come visit again!

Tastefully decorated, including art pieces, especially also the towels folded beautifully. Super breakfast (fresh waffles with rhubarb jelly or other options). Friendly hosts (family business), who are interested in their guests. Super location. Well equipped kitchen. Excellent shower, en-suite bathroom. Best place we stayed in in Iceland.

This was my favorite place to stay in my ring road trip. It’s a cozy guesthouse, very clean and tidy. The landscape around was amazing. Beautiful sunrise! There is free waffles for breakfast and they were delicious. Definitely recommend it!

One of the best stay experience ever. The owner lady Unnur, her husband and entire family are so helpful and welcoming. We stayed here only for one night but wished we could stay more. We are going to recommend this property to all our friends. In fact the next chance we get to go to Iceland we will stay at Loa's Nest.

This was the best stay we had in Iceland. The building had been built by the owner for the specific purpose of a Guesthouse. Unnur, Ingi and Unnar were amazing in their welcome and caring for everyone who came to stay. Wife, husband and son. Beds were so comfortable, fridge for use of guest with identifying spots for each room number, area around so peaceful in the countryside with horses right next door. Delicious waffles and homemade Rhubarb jam. Every attention to detail was perfection. I would go back just to stay here again.

Adorable and welcoming so you don’t want to leave
Our party consisted of six people in three rooms, and each room was warm and welcoming, a pleasant size, and with gorgeous views. The beds are comfortable, and while my pillows were not great for me, I cannot say that that is a problem of the hotel, as it is an issue I have everywhere I go. The bathrooms are a good size, and the showers are spacious, clean, and have fantastic water pressure. The kitchen and public lounge area is comfortable and conducive to conversation, and while it wasn’t until the last day of our stay here that we met our hosts, they were thoroughly friendly and welcoming. Being served cute waffles by Inge as he made them right in front of us was such a homey way to enjoy our breakfast, too. Honestly, we were gone all day and only returned to plop off to sleep, but this guesthouse made it truly feel like being at home, and we loved it. The only minor concerns one or two members of our group had were that there were no face clothes in the bathrooms, nor were there facial tissues. Quite minor issues, really. I would love to tell the world that this is a great place to stay, but part of me also wants to keep it “our wonderful secret,” it is that good.

Delightful place
What a lovely and relaxing place to stay! The room was clean and comfortable, and the host was so friendly and helpful. We were pleased to find a large meeting/dining area where we could play cards, and also enjoy a delicious breakfast prepared by our host in the morning. The area is beautiful and bucolic. We enjoyed our stay here very much!

Loa’s Nest was perfect for our stay. Very nice clean, modern rooms and a great shared kitchen we could use for meal prep. The hosts made waffles for breakfast with their homemade rhubarb jam. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Location is good for exploring the golden circle and southern Iceland.

We loved our stay here with my family. The property owners have very thoughtfully stocked the kitchen area with all kitchen gadgets so travelers can fix their own meals. The owners are very friendly and we enjoyed our stay here. The only nit is we couldn’t figure out the temperature control in the room (neither could a few other guests in adjoining rooms). It wasn’t uncomfortably cold, but would recommend leaving a set of instructions in the room for other guests. I’ll plan to stay here again in my future travels through this area.

Loved the relaxed feel and getting to enjoy Unnur's waffles on the front porch, wrapped in a blanket he supplied. View of the fields was peaceful through our room's windows. Great local info in the common area. Best shower of all the places we stayed! Super comfy bed. Friendly and hospitable and easy to get to off Ring Road. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay for many reasons: communication with the hosts was easy and effective; the reservation conditions were flexible and not binding -- a big plus for a traveler; the location was interesting for us: in the middle of countryside, farmland, and nature with a great view; everything was comfortable and thoughtfully prepared for guests; rooms have good sound proofing: we stayed close to the main "living room" and heard nothing either from the hallway or the neighboring room; the hosts are friendly and helpful -- gave us advice on local businesses, in my case on yarn shops. What's not to like? If you come to stay -- check out the waterfall down the road -- it is gorgeous at sunset.
