    What a idyllic spot! The staff were so warm and friendly. The bed was super comfortable and the place was very quiet. This is a great place to stay for a couple of days. We would have liked to take a horse ride but had not planned enough time. Do yourself a favor and reserve a ride too.

    Very small room, cold when we have arrived and unless in bed there was no place. But for 1 night it had all we needed.

    Very friendly personnel, good breakfast, new bathroom and well equipped kitchen we could use.

    There was a weird sulphur smell coming from water. We learn that is true for most of north (experienced same in Akuyeri as well). Nothing specific to property, but something to be mindful of.

    First experience of living on the farm! You will love the views from the property + kitchen is very well equipped. Rooms are spacious and there is plenty of space to park your car. We went in summers, but i can imagine it being equally beautiful in winters as well. Farm has 200+ horses! Only 5km/5min drive from Husavik city center!

    Unique Iceland Stay

    Note there was a blizzard and when we parked our car snow was up to our knees so wish we had better directions on where to park which was around the house and back.

    It’s quaint right outside of town. We were there in October and drove through a blizzard (literally) and got there a little late so we didn’t see anyone but a cute little sticky with a room key with our name. The shared kitchen had everything needed to cook a nice meal from the grocery store just 1/2 mile away. We had room 4 which had a great picture window where we did see northern lights. Now it is a converted cow shed so not a typical hotel so go with mindset of a unique Iceland experience.

    We had an amazing stay at Saltvik farm! The property has stunning views and the rooms are in a converted cow barn. The room was quiet and cozy and had everything we needed. The staff at check-in were nice and the location is wonderful... right outside of town. This place will always be special to us as we got to see an incredible northern lights show for the first time. The lights were right outside the front door and we were the only ones around to fully enjoy the experience. Truly magical!!

    Just one thing that the double bed were actually 2 single beds clubbed side by side.

    The rooms are nice and spacious, also basic amenities like kettle and hair dryer were provided. The view of the snow mountains from the front side parking is amazing. They had a fully equipped kitchen with microwave and oven. There's also a small refrigerator for customers. Staff is sweet and friendly.

    Saltvik Farm Guesthouse is what it's name says: A Farm (with lots of Icelandic horses), where you can stay in rooms in a converted barn. It's quite basic, but you've got all you need. Especially the bathroom was a bit small, but everything worked well. The seasonal workers from different countries (in our case Germany, Austria and Switzerland), who are also doing guided horse-tours, were very nice. They were in charge of preparing the breakfast (and go grocery shopping) as well. And the breakfast was extraordinary. I want to say a special thank you to Claire! If you book a riding holiday with them (probably not through booking.com) it's all-inclusive with soup for lunch and an evening meal as well as some excursions e.g. to geosea. Lunch and dinner are not available for overnight-guests, but Húsavík is only a five minutes drive away and we got very good recommendations from Claire.

    Absolutely nothing.

    Everything was perfect, especially the sweet dog and a cat and their horses in the farm, the location, the breakfast, the other people who were staying in the farmhouse with who we shared the common kitchen. Excellent experience.
