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.

The location was amazing, so close to the Skogafoss waterfall. Our rooms were comfortable and well stocked with clean towels and a gown incase we wanted to use the hot tub.
The beds were very comfortable.
It’s a self check in hotel and the key code access worked smoothly for the outer door but only one of our rooms. We called Hotel Skogafoss (as instructed) and the staff answered the phone promptly and solved the problem easily.
Complimentary hot drinks were available in the reception are which was a very welcome touch.
Breakfast was a good selection and the staff helpful, cooking more eggs and bacon on request as guests arrived to eat. There was homemade bread.
We ate a good dinner at the nearby Hotel Skogafoss.
Located within a 7-minute of Rutshellir Caves, Hotel Drangshlid is just 4 km from Skogafoss in South Iceland. The property offers free WiFi and the staff can organize horseback riding and jeep tours.

Nice parking area. It's really lucky to watch Aurora just outside the accommodation.
We could use a coffee (hot water, hot chocolate) machine in the dining area, even at night. Everything was so convenient.
Featuring a lounge and views toward Eyjafjallajökull, Umi Hotel is located at the foot the famous volcano in South Iceland. It features a terrace and views of the sea.

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.
There is a lot good to be said about Umi. The biggest is the location and view. If you are planning a trip east or west, it is a great destination after a gold circle day or when you come from the glacier lagoon, before you embark on the golden circle. Views are great; the dinner restaurant serves excellent food and the breakfast is sumptuous for a great start into the day.
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!
check in was very efficient; dinner was top quality with good service; room was clean; coffee/tea maker in entrance hall quite handy; breakfast was good; location and view from room amazing. Superb location for anyone visiting south Iceland; lots of parking; hotel very quite - no traffic or other noise.
You couldn't ask for a better location, just down the street from Skogafoss. I used the single room with access from the outside and it was perfect for my needs. The main part of the building has a nice kitchen with everything you need. Everything was spotless and tasteful.
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.
Amazing location not far from the meeting point for the glacier walk. The waterfall is amazing and you can see it from the restaurant probably 300 metres from the hotel. Food in restaurant is reasonably priced and really good quality. Great all round experience
Very spacious. I like that the kitchen has a separate door so any noise or coffee smell did not disturb people in bedrooms. Beautiful view. Short walk to waterfall and hike and restaurant.
Hotel Drangshlid is conveniently just off route 1 in a very quiet, scenic location. Our room was clean and comfortable and the restaurant was nice. The included breakfast was ok.
Great stay, clean guest house with a nice warm continental breakfast. Loved exploring the old dormitory building, grounds and learning the history. Super close to 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.
Good braekfast and tasty dinner at hotels restaurant, small room, but everything you need were inside. Cozy public living room with kettle and microvawe.
