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

We loved our stay at Skalakot Manor Hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly (exceeding expectations!). I loved the views from the front of the hotel. It was very easy to access from the main road. The food was very good. The only disappointment was that we didn't realize you had to pay separately to use the hot tub pictured in the listing. We only had a short time there, so opted not to pay for it, but that was a bummer. The shower in our room was excellent though!

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 most luxurious stay
We had an excellent stay at Skalakot and wished we could have stayed longer. The property is so beautiful and our room was very spacious. We also really enjoyed the fireplace lounge after dinner. The spa was worth the extra fee and a very relaxing experience. Dinner was so delicious and relaxing as well. We were part of a larger group and that didn’t impact the quality of our meal. Our breakfast was also delicious and the staff even accommodated an early departure with to go boxes and coffee. They truly took the time and effort to make sure every bit of our stay was taken care of, even for just one night. If we ever return to Iceland, I would make it a point to spend more time at Skalakot for some rest and relaxation.

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.

Such a beautiful spot to stay! It’s very close to so many of the sight seeing spots in south Iceland. The staff are extremely kind and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Everything is decorated beautifully. My 7 year old son loved playing with the dogs (his favorite part of our trip) and seeing the horses. We will definitely come back!
