We had the evening buffet which was really great value for money. The forest location.

Loved this place and our host.
Added bonus of a sauna and a hottub and some delicious homemade icelandic bread.
Perfect stop over when travelling the ring road and only 5 minutes from the majestic Hengifoss.
I do hope life brings us this way again.

Wonderful host with freshly made bread and cake as well, plus a simpler selection of food for breakfast. We had a lovely chat with the host at breakfast about life in Iceland, they were very happy to answer any of our questions. The room was clean, great for a one night stay, with a shared bathroom/toilet and an additional toilet. There is a common room / living area with a table, chairs, fridge where you can store your food if needed.

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about our stay in the Hengifoss lodge.
It's a dream to stay here. Once entered you're greeted by the warm smell of ember caused by the wood that was used to make this house. The colours and the layout of the room is incredibly cosy.
The fireplace keeps the house (almost too) warm, and the window + terrace give an exceptional view over the lake and mountains.
The hosts are also amazing and gave us the feeling that we're not only welcome, but also that they really understand why we chose to go to Iceland.
We asked for help with our fireplace and the host, Isabelle, came to the rescue. She tried to help us to lit a fire but to no avail. We did however have a really good conversation. However when she left, we were content enough. Yet still she knocked on the door and winked us to come over. She told us enthusiastically that the Northern Lights were dancing and fully visible, we had to come outside!
The next morning it was kind of raining, a little bit. But the sun was also shining through the clouds. The husband, Steff, called me when I was standing on the terrace. He said: "There is a rainbow there!" and pointed towards slightly behind the house I was standing in front of. I walked to the side and indeed saw a beautiful rainbow.
This might not say much to other people wanting to stay there. But to me it feels like these people have such a connection with Iceland, its beauty and understand that we are there for the same connection, they told us to look at beautiful views which Iceland offers, and we were delighted to follow their guidance.
Thank you Isabelle and Steff, for the warm welcome. Whenever we're in Iceland and planning to go near Eggs, we will definitely make use of your beautiful little houses.

This was our favorite stay while we were in Iceland. When we booked we didn't have many reviews to go off of. When we got there it exceeded our expectations. The staff was accommodating, our room didn't have knives to cut with and our host provided them right away. We had no trouble using anything, everything was clean. We even saw the northern lights from right where we parked the car. I will say the best part was the heated floors in the bathroom! Again I could not say enough amazing things about this place.
Surrounded by nature, this guesthouse is within 10 minutes drive of Egilsstadir and Lagarfljot River. Rooms have access to a shared lounge and free hot drinks at all times.

The Hallormsstaður area is on a beautiful lake with the largest forest in Iceland nearby. Several significant waterfalls, including the 420 ft. Hengifoss, are minutes away by car. And yet the area is just 15 minutes from Egilstaðir and all its city amenities. Really an ideal location for exploring Eastern Iceland!

The location of the hotel with a view on the lake is amazing. From the a la carte Restaurant you have a great view to the sun downer over the lake.
The family room is really spacious and offers enough space for a family.
Very clean room and bath room for own use.
Quality of food was good. Buffet and a la zarte restaurant facilities.
Great place to stay, clean and tidy with all the facilities you need, stunning scenery off a quiet road.. you will need to bring some food with you, no shops nearby but there is a hotel/restaurant about 13km away which serves food
The hotel was located in a forest, a different view regarding the past dazs. The checkin process went fast. The room was quite spacious and we had a great view. Everything was very clean. Breakfast was OK
