Mosfellsbær Holidays

We stayed 3 nights at Volcano Huts in a "Shepard's cabin." The cabins are small, heated, and have a sink, kettle, hot plate, a few pots, and some plates and cups. You must provide your own linens (there is a fee/night for renting linens which is not reasonable for multiple nights -- we rented hiking poles, sleeping bags, and an extra blanket for a week from another vendor for what it would have cost to rent linen here). The cabins are not just rustic but also a bit over used/in need of repair. Our door did not seal, with a 5cm gap in the frame at the bottom which let in cold and flies (we stuffed it with socks). There was mold forming in the corners of the cabin. The mattresses on the beds were worn out maybe years ago and you could feel the framing under the mattress. These are possibly reasonable compromises for a location like this. Less understandable was the noise -- there are no quiet hours and people are out drinking and singing until quite late. Additionally, is not clear how knowledgeable the staff really are about the area. We happened to be there during three straight days of overhanging clouds. We asked repeatly for valley hikes. Only one staff ever really helped us with low-cloud hiking plans. Mostly, staff rec'd upper hikes with the vague idea that maybe the clouds would clear (vedur.is made it clear that was unlikely). Finally, Husadalur is not really in Thorsmork! You will spend 20m walking to Langidalur (or 30-40 to Basar) each time you set out

Slightly pricier than what I'd expect, but it really was a wonderful experience. Clean, easy, had a good time

This was a super cool place to stay... There is nothing like it around. Three sides of the building are 1-sided mirrors, so we had a 180 degree view from inside, but no one could see in. The 2-person hot tub was an added bonus. Very clean and located a little ways off the golden circle road. I would highly recommend for a very unique experience.

My stay at Hotel Grimsborgir by Keahotels was exceptional. The entire property was extremely clean, the room was spacious and comfortable, and the atmosphere was peaceful. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout my visit. The breakfast was a highlight — generous, high‑quality, and one of the best I had in Iceland. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort and great service.
