The cozy self check in Hotel Skoga is just 5 minutes walk from the spectacular Skogafoss Waterfall situated at the foot of the Eyjafjallajökull glacier.

Room is of decent size. The top part of Skogafoss can be seen from our room. Just a short walking distance to the falls. Breakfast was a great spread. We were being well looked after by Milena who made sure we had enough to eat. She even obliged to hard boil a carton of eggs of ours which we planned to do at the Thermal Springs but were not able because of the bad weather. She is definite an asset to the team.

Skogafoss and Kvernfoss were within walking distance which made it pretty accessible and convenient to get to without a car. The property was clean and tidy, staff were helpful and courteous, and the dining hall a great place to unwind, watch the television and enjoy self-prepared meals using a microwave. There's hot water for showering and ample cubicles.

Skogafoss is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world, impressively large, and if there is even a little bit of sunshine, there will be a rain bow in front of the falls. The town of Skogar includes a noteworthy folk history museum.

Great place to stop at while driving to Vik!
Great place to stop at while driving to Vik! There are many things to see and do and endless hiking paths to follow. A few waterfalls around including Kvernufoss, which was amazingly hidden, but very near the Skogar Museum. The museum offers a variety of exhibits on history of the area ( outside part including turf houses), but also technical part - really amazing and great thing to do when the weather is not promising. We stayed at hotel Skogafoss and we had a real blast there! Highly recommended due to facilities and service alike. There is a Eyjafjallajökull visitor centre, right below the volcano- unfortunately closed during winter season. We drove and walked to Seljavallalaug hot spring natural pool, where you can swim, however water is quite cold. The surroundings is beautiful though. Further south you can drive towards Dyrhólaey and Reynisfjara/Black beach. We loved Skogar area very much and had amazing time at different spots around.

The hotel is located very close from the waterfall.
The waterfall is spectacular!
I recommend to go all the way up the stairs and walk around the trail and enjoy the marvelous view.
It is a quiet and small town with very friendly people 😀

The waterfall is the highlight, and if you have time, you should walk a bit further on the trail above it. It’s a beautiful hike.
The folk museum is amazing, sounds corny, but it’s really good. It has an excellent cafe too.
Area is close to Vik and the black sand beaches.
The bistro at hotel Skogafoss is consistent and the food is good and reasonably priced for Iceland.
Sadly the ‘secret’ waterfall now has a highway trodden too it and lots of erosion on site as people have climbed all over the grass outposts and killed all the vegetation.
Our whole experience at the hotel was brilliant. Staff were excellent and willing to help with any queries - they even alert you if the Northern Lights are appearing during the night :) - restaurant had lovely food for both breakfast and dinner with a good bar. Bedroom and bathroom were clean and spacious - bed was comfy with the window view of the mountains amazing. Visiting the beach (about a 20 min walk away) was a nice added bonus.
Hotels in Iceland are limited but we are glad we decided to stay in this tiny town. The true drawcard here is the location literally right next door to the Skogafoss waterfall, you can just wander over and be at the waterfall in two minutes after breakfast. We visited it twice in the one day we were here, because we could. Also highly recommend the Kvernufoss walk and waterfall in the same time!
Hotel has an amazing location and only for that it can be rate super high. it's just 5 mins away from Skogafoss waterfall.
Room was small but big enough to have 2 suitcases around.
Tea/coffee machine is in the corridor, together with a selection of tea bags. Nice touch.
Big, spacious bathroom and a shower (warm water stinks with sulfur - typical for Iceland).
Super friendly staff and clean bright accomodations. Loved the jacuzzi and sauna!! Super close to the Skogafoss waterfall. Included breakfast was perfect and coffee strong. We stayed here an extra night because the location was great! Also they have a ping pong table, elliptical machines, spinning bikes and a treadmill.
We really enjoyed our stay. The food in the hotel restaurant was excellent, and the view from our room was breathtaking. They also have a private beach, which is a 20-minute walk away. We had a surprise guest (an Iceland horse/pony) who was grazing just outside the hotel breakfast area, which made our day!
The hotel is in a great location if you’re planning to hike or visit Skogar and the area attractions closer to Vik. The restaurant is excellent. The couple running the hotel, Jakub and Anna, went out of their way to help facilitate our somewhat complicated hiking plans.
Place is super clean and very well kept. Kitchen very equiped. Nice views from every side of the house. 2 shared bathrooms for 5 rooms which is very good. Perfect location, next to Skogafoss. Bus stop very close by. Restaurant close by. I HIGHLY recommend this place.
This hostel for children in an outdoor school is located about 1 km from the Skógarfoss waterfall. The staff was very kind and helpful. He brought us a replacement heater after midnight, as the radiator was not working. There was a rich and tasty breakfast.
The breakfast is super and the location of the hotel is great, very close to Skogafoss waterfall. We liked the hot tub. There are two reception room on each floor and one has a TV and coffee machine( has to pay for coffee~) inside.
Amazing location next to Skogafoss waterfall. Extremely nice and accommodating staff. Clean and comfortable. Great restaurant with a beautiful view of the falls and excellent food. Free/included breakfast was excellent as well.
Room was very spacious and the bed was decently comfortable. Coffee and tea available outside the rooms. There is a possibility to have dinner at the restaurant in the main building and the burger we took was very good.
Self contained apartment with large foyer, two large bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom. Loved the little boot heater/dryer. View was fantastic. Menus of local restaurants in foyer. Bathroom had heated towel racks.
The location, and the rooms. The kitchen area is nice and big. The woman who runs Guesthouse was very kind and helpful. She is my number 1 reason I would recommend Guesthouse Skogafoss.
Convenient location for access to Skogafoss, literally a few minutes walk away. We had a very nice meal at the restaraunt within the main (affiliated?) Hotel Skogafoss.
