Small but strategically placed property right beside Vestrahorn and the Viking Village. Room look updated, although small with not much room to move around the beds, it had everything needed for a comfortable and quiet stay with great views. Very friendly welcome and with it right beside Vestrahorn, it was an ideal stay for getting pics at sunset and sunrise. Breakfast was standard fare but dinner options were limited to soup, a panini or grilled cheese and ham. Book early as likely to sell out well in advance!

This property is a beautiful work in progress. I sure hope I get to revisit it in the future. The reception/cafe counter is also a gatekeeper for the campers who are parked nearby. Not a problem - just an observation. The cafe, which has a limited menu right now, while perfectly adequate at the moment I feel will be a lovely place to visit in the future. Builders are busy putting finishing touches to the high ceilinged room with gorgeous windows looking out to the coast. We were in a room for three which was located a few minutes from the Viking Cafe. The unit was large, spacious, and had a separate living area. Bathroom was also large and spacious. Small refrigerator and lots of outlets for charging electronics. Large screen TV. Some beautiful touches such as shelves of real wood and leather couches. A very nice breakfast included.

What fantastic customer service. A beautiful location. Nature at it’s best. Loved the convenience of visiting local tourist attractions and hiking. However, the mold issue in the bathroom needs to be addressed.

This was an awesome spot. Kind of out of the way and it looks like they are expanding with a bunch of construction. The room was large and comfortable and a nice breakfast as well.

Amazing location. Very comfortable, clean, spacious and modern room. Free admission to the area’s attractions and breakfast included made this a great choice as well. Check in was slightly confusing at first because of renovations taking place but the staff was super friendly and very helpful. Negative reviews about the staff in past reviews don’t make any sense to me… everyone working there was above and beyond friendly. Highly recommend.

Staff is so nice! Room was amazing. Breakfast was a delight! The hike to go from the cafe to the Viking village (the Witcher), to the farm to the lighthouse by the beach was incredible! No hesitation if you plan to come around here.

The location is lovely. And that is precisely what felt a bit off about this site. The owners (or investors and owners) of Viking Café Guesthouse seem intent on building a recreational facility that capitalizes on the beauty of the natural environment. But there was no sense of preservation or conservation in the business practices visible to us. Day visitors must pay for access, this is understandable as the property is private. But is any part of that fee returned to nature? We weren't sure. Also, lodging guests and day visitors are given a map with "trails" but we didn't see evidence of any trails. Visitors were not cautioned about trampling on areas that could be environmentally sensitive habitat for birds, other fauna, and plants. There was even a part of the "trail" that went up and over into the property of an international (NATO) surveillance site. My husband and I opted against including this portion in our walk. The room we were assigned was fairly large and all amenities worked well. Due to the construction of the room (and lack of windows) it feel a bit like the interior of a shipping container instead of a "guesthouse." Items available for breakfast were delicious and plentiful.

Fantastic location with walking access to the beautiful surrounding landscape. Staff was warm and welcoming, the room was also very spacious and clean. The cafe area was under renovation, and breakfast options were limited. Overall we had a comfortable stay and great experience at this special property in Hofn.

The property is undergoing a major upgrade. When done it will be spectacular. Even in its present state it is is very nice, and even if it wasn't, unlike other hotels in the area it is in the the center of such incredible natural wonders that I would stay in a dump to be here. Also the staff is the best!
