The location of Djupavik stole my heart. The drive to get there took about 44 km on a winding gravel road, but reaching this remote paradise felt worth every bump. I stayed in a Standard Double Room, Lækjarkot, with windows that overlooked the beautiful sea. The decor felt nostalgic, filled with artifacts that each had a story. Dinner was a highlight. The lamb exceeded my expectations, making me glad I chose to dine in. I also enjoyed the homemade soup and freshly baked bread for lunch. However, I encountered some issues. The towels were noticeably stiff and carried an unpleasant odor. The breakfast lacked hot items, which I hoped for. Room size was on the small side, and the shared bathroom setup wasn’t the most convenient. Still, the charm of the place and the engaging history provided during the herring factory tour made up for these inconveniences. The friendly staff enhanced my dining experience, making me feel welcomed. Exploring the shoreline at low tide was incredibly rewarding too.

The hotel's setting near the sea is truly magical, especially the cozy ambiance during dinner with locally sourced dishes.

The shared bathroom facilities feel a bit cramped and could use an upgrade to improve convenience for guests.

The breathtaking coastal views were a dream come true! The dinner lamb was beyond amazing. A downside was the towels—they really need a refresh. Still, the cozy vibe made it all worthwhile! 🌊

Charming setting, cozy accommodations, with incredible views of the sea and friendly staff who made our stay delightful, offering helpful insights and attentive service throughout our visit.

Everything was impeccable.

The remote setting offers breathtaking vistas, making the long drive worthwhile. I enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, especially during dinner with fresh local fish that was a highlight for me. However, the towels were stiff and carry an undesirable odor, and I found the shared bathroom setup a bit inconvenient. Additionally, the upper floor lounge could benefit from more comfortable seating options to enhance relaxation.

stunning views and charming charm near the sea

During my stay, I enjoyed wonderful historic building features and the incredible personal waterfall at the property, which made my weekend city strolls even more magical. the welcoming staff truly made me feel like a cherished friend, adding to the lovely experience.

This was a smart choice for a brief sojourn in Djupavik with great value for money. The dinner lamb was the best we had in Iceland! Make sure to take the long, scenic drive down the dirt road carefully.
