My family stayed here for 2 nights and we had a great time. Food was fantastic, staff was very accommodating, 2 minute walk to the activity center. The pools were very relaxing. I highly suggest staying here!!

Pleasant check in staff, food in restaurant was one of the best we had in iceland. Bed was amazing and room was clean. Love the idea that they promote sustainability and support local icelandic business owners. Would definitely revisit.

Stayed one night at the Hotel Husafell. It is a pretty little place about 90 minutes outside Reykjavik. Our room was clean and covered all the basics. Liked that it had a functioning window and door to step outside - that came in handy for the Northern Lights viewing (they ring you in the night if the lights are visible)! Wrote a separate review for the restaurant...which was fantastic! Exceeded all our expectations. The location was great to walk to the Husafell stone and take a wander through the historic "park" that was just a short walk away. If we'd had another day or two we would have done some other hikes nearby as well. Great location for doing several tours. We opted for the Into the Glacier tour and you can walk to the pickup point. Would absolutely stay here again.

There are places in Iceland where time seems to stand still. Húsafell, nestled among lava fields and glaciers in the west of the country, is one such place. After hours of driving through rugged landscapes, a green oasis suddenly appears: birch groves, clear rivers, and a handful of houses. Here, everything revolves around tranquility, nature, and, surprisingly, incredibly good food. Heart of Silence Húsafell feels almost magical upon arrival. The mountains glow softly in the sunlight, and the sound of water flows everywhere. The Húsafell Hotel is a sleekly designed yet warm retreat. Large windows, bright rooms, and a view that seems straight out of a postcard. What many here call the highlight of their stay: a dinner with Chef Ingolfur Piffl. Local, Pure, and Surprising Chef Ingolfur Piffl is a name you’ll remember. He’s one of those chefs who lets his story speak through flavor. At Húsafell Restaurant, he combines traditional Icelandic ingredients with modern refinement. Think lamb from the valley’s farms, local fish, wild herbs, and vegetables from his own garden. His dishes are not only a tribute to nature, but also to the seasons. Each plate is a work of art, carefully presented without fuss. You immediately sense that this is more than just a meal. It’s an experience completely intertwined with the place itself. The menu changes frequently, especially with the seasons, as all ingredients are seasonal. It’s therefore logical that a seasonal menu with three to five courses is also available. The drinks menu features several signature cocktails and some interesting wines. Plenty of choice. Chef Ingolfur also makes an appearance. Modest, smiling, and clearly proud of his team. Everything you eat here is locally sourced. Húsafell is a place where gastronomy, nature, and tranquility converge to create something unforgettable. Wake up among glaciers and birch trees From your hotel room, you look out over the valleys where wisps of mist drift across the moss. It’s the perfect spot to lace up your hiking boots. The area around Húsafell is a dream for nature lovers: hiking trails lead through lava fields, along rivers, and towards glaciers. Relaxing hot spring bath Those who prefer to relax can spend the day in Húsafell’s geothermal pool. The water is soft, warm, and rich in minerals, perfect after a long hike. A peaceful silence reigns, broken only by the splashing of water and the chirping of birds. Hraunfossar and Barnafoss A fifteen-minute drive from the village lie the enchanting Hraunfossar and Barnafoss. Hraunfossar isn’t a typical waterfall, but a series of streams that flow like rivers from a lava field. Just a few hundred meters away, Barnafoss, a slightly wilder waterfall, roars. Together they form a breathtaking contrast of beauty and power.

Fantastic hotel in a stunning location with a restaurant and amenities to match. Take advantage of the seasonal tasting menu if you can. Grab a beer or a glass of wine and head to one of the three soaking pools on site. The location is surrounded by glacier capped peaks, an amazing trout river. And if golf is your thing, there’s a course there too. Had we not been there to fish, we would have certainly played a round. The rooms were clean and super comfortable, great water pressure in the shower, and staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful. there was even a playground by the Hot Springs and had my toddler been there. I think she would’ve had the time of her life. Would absolutely stay here again, with or without family.
