Lovely cabin accommodation.

Stayed in October 2024

Steps up to our cabin were rickety and need some maintenance. :)

A friendly, young lad checked us in. He made recommendations of tourist areas to see around this location. We had a cozy cabin with a table and 2 chairs, which is always nice. Easy parking near cabin. Our cabin had a great heat with a beautiful view. Our cabin was bunk beds. Bathroom was small but very clean. Be cautious how much hot water you use as it's a very small hot water tank that is mounted over the shower. We had a delicious meal in their restaurant the night we arrived, and we really enjoyed it. They have a lovely cold cut breakfast buffet with delicious baked breads.

Leaking toilet every time we flushed it, could do with more hooks and hangers for clothing and some towel racks in the bathroom

Nice staff, restaurant, room northern lights

The breakfast was a bit basic and scarce. The bread was freshly baked, but not many options in termns of ingredients.

Beautiful location and room, we had our own house with parking next to it. Beautiful view for sunshine, very cozy and warm. Very recommended!

Super tiny bathroom

The service was so personable and great. The gentleman at the front desks was just amazing. Everything was so easy. Cabins are darling! Great place to view the northern lights!

Awesome location, super welcoming, amazing staff. I couldn’t ask for more. We got a great show from the northern lights as a bonus too! I highly recommend Hunkubakkar!

Beautifully remote yet right off the Ring Road. Breakfast and dinner were incredible.

No kitchen facilities

Great location right off the ring road with minimal light pollution. We were able to see the northern lights from our guesthouse. Very close to beautiful views. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Restaurant and free breakfast were tasty. Comfortable room with shared bathroom.

Shower drain was clogged. Also bathroom doors could get fixed so you don’t have to bang on the door everytime you wanna close it but that’s just a detail

We stayed in one of the huts for 1 night - there were two rooms in our hut with one shared bathroom. The hut was warm and clean. Breakfast had good variety of food. We had dinner in the restaurant as well and both the lamb and the fish were delicious! The location is great - quiet & peaceful area a few minutes away from the amazing Fjadrargljufur canyon.

Our shower didn't drain very well so each person had to wait a little bit after someone else.

The restaurant was delicious and fresh. The breakfast was ample in variety and was welcome to kick off our day. We had 2 rooms with a shared bathroom with another couple we traveled with. Relatively simple rooms, but the whole cabin and central area ambiance was really nice. We used the common room to play games one night. Each morning, we had a wonderful sunrise with sheep softly baaing

shared bath

not clear that we were sharing a bath -

Since we shared the bathroom with other 2 people, it was a bit noisy at night. I missed maybe a shared kitchen or microwave and a fridge.

We had a pleasant stay in a cottage. We also had dinner here and tried the amazing lamb, worth the price!!! The cottage was clean and it had a sink and small table with 2 chairs + a big and comfortable bed. Ornela helped us with everything during our stay, she also helped us to watch the desirable northern lights!!

The shower didn't have hot water for very long. Other than that, everything was perfect.

The room was very clean and cozy for our small group. The view from our room with the green pasture and the sheep was amazing. We enjoyed the breakfast in the morning.

Nothing.

The staff who was extra helpful when we arrived for an early check in. The location which is right next to the mind blowing Flaorarglufur canyon and has no light pollution making it the perfect spot for viewing the Aurora.

The breakfast was mediocre with no options. We would like to have a private house but they gave us a room in a house with four rooms. The bathroom wasn't so clean :(

The location was nice, you can visit the Fjaðrárgljúfur 3min from houses. The house was big and very warm. Comfort beds.

Nothing that I can think of. Before we went I was telling my co-traveler that it took me a while to find a place on the Southern end of the Island because there was a lot of choices, and that we needed something in a very central location. I somewhat hesitantly settled on Hunkubakkar as somewhere to quickly crash for the night. In hindsight, this was a bad idea on our end as we missed out on a ton of what they had to offer! They are on my list of places to travel to again and spend a bit longer at next time!

I rarely write five-star reviews, as it is not often I find places that warrant such a high accolade. Hunkubakkar is definitely one of those places that gets 5 from me. We stayed overnight enroute to Keflavik. I had requested a late check-in time (around 930PM), and we pulled in around 10, and were welcomed regardless of being a tad late. They were very accomodating and communicative with questions and such. Examplary customer service as far as I'm concerned. The guesthouse we stayed in was quaint, clean, and well put together. We had to leave early (around 7AM, so missed Breakfast), but the property was very well maintained and looked gorgeous. We have been regretting not being able to stay for a few extra hours. If you can, stay for their dinner at the restaurant - while we personally arrived too late to eat, it was our faullt we missed our chance for what we heard later from folks was some amazing food. So avail yourself to the dinner if at all possible. Finally, something worth noting. I had left my expensive earbuds accidentally in one of the rooms. They emailed me to let me know (again, 5 stars on the service just for that). Not only that, but they shipped them back to our place in North America and are enroute as I'm writing this. I'm not sure what to say except that we will definitely be returning if in Iceland again, and we shall bring along some of our made in Quebec maple syrup for the owners as a thank you.
