The beautiful countryside location offers great views.

During my stay, the bedding was quite uncomfortable, as there was no top sheet, only a scratchy comforter. Also, the close proximity of the third bedroom to the living area made it impossible to have any privacy, which was frustrating. To top it off, a late-night knock to enforce a window closure was unnecessary and very disturbing.

Had an amazing time at Skalatjorn! The goats were super sweet and Helena's warm hospitality was unforgettable. The place is super comfy and well-equipped, perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure, though the knife could use an upgrade. Overall, a great stay!

The quiet surroundings provided a serene getaway, complemented by scenic views. The kitchenette was well-equipped, allowing for easy meal preparation, which made it convenient for our family. However, the basic room size felt cramped, and some additional attention to bathroom cleanliness would enhance the experience. While the goats were a delightful highlight for the kids, the thin walls resulted in some noise disturbance during the night.

Staying at Skalatjoern Guesthouse was an unforgettable experience! Helena and Stefan's warmth made us feel right at home. The spacious apartment above the goats provided stunning views of Hekla and Eyjafjallajökull volcano. The chance to cuddle with the goats during the daily tour was such a delightful highlight for our family.

A Cozy Farm Experience with Adorable Goats

Our stay was delightful, especially in the cozy apartment above the goat barn where we felt right at home. The warmth of our hosts, Helena and Stefan, made a lasting impression, and we had a wonderful time meeting their friendly goats during the included tour. The comfortable beds ensured a great night's sleep, making this one of our favorite stays in Iceland! However, a little attention to the bathroom cleanliness would enhance the experience even more.

Welcoming atmosphere with lovely hosts made our stay enjoyable. Engaging goat interactions were a delightful highlight. The serene and scenic area offered a peaceful retreat after our adventures.

A bit of attention to bathroom cleanliness would enhance the overall experience.

Perfect for couples seeking tranquility

We just stayed for a night, but wow, it felt like a whole new world! The best part was meeting Helena—she really took care of us and introduced us to her goats and the barn cat, which was unexpectedly nice.

It wasn't exactly a bargain, but the experience made it worth it.

This was a great match for getting around the area with a good value-to-price ratio. The private bathroom was very handy after a day of exploring. Check in early to enjoy some time with the adorable goats nearby.

The apartment had a fantastic mountain view, perfect for enjoying the serene Icelandic landscape. The privacy provided in the fully furnished apartment allows for a comfortable and cozy stay, which adds to the overall experience.

There’s a peculiar rule about closing the kitchen window at night, which can feel quite intrusive when you forget, as you’re woken up for it. The bedding was lacking a proper top sheet and felt scratchy, which took away from the comfort of the stay, and the third bedroom’s proximity to shared spaces made privacy nearly impossible, especially with thin walls amplifying sound.

My stay at Skalatjoern Guesthouse was truly delightful. The warmth of Helena and Stefan made us feel right at home, and I particularly enjoyed the delightful goat tour that added a unique charm. The location in quiet countryside with stunning views was a lovely retreat.

Some bathroom cleanliness could improve.
