Located next to the harbour and some restaurants, Dyngja is the perfect place to explore Höfn. Our room was very cozy and the bed so comfortable. The kitchen with a view to the harbour is very clean and very well equipped, it even has a Jura coffee machine that you can use. The shared bathrooms are also kept clean. The whole guesthouse is furnished stylishly and modern and the owner was so kind. Thank you!

Room was impeccably clean! And plenty big enough for me and my two teenage boys, which is saying something. One of the biggest rooms we had in Iceland. Wonderful and complete continental breakfast.

We had a wonderful stay in these lovely rooms! The location was perfect—not only for exploring but also it was the ideal spot to watch the Northern Lights, and we were lucky enough to see them right from our windows. The rooms were warm, cozy, and beautifully set up—just what you need for a comfortable stop while doing the Ring Road. Our host was very thoughtful and made sure everything was perfect for us. A special mention to the sweet lady at breakfast—she was so kind and took great care of us! We highly recommend this place and would love to stay here again! 😊✨🏡

    The guesthouse has everything you need for a pleasant stay. In particular, we enjoyed the breakfast and the friendly and helpful hosts. The guesthouse is located at the starting point of a hike that we enjoyed thoroughly.

    The guesthouse was absolutely spotless, and felt like a warm clean haven after a rainy day on the ring road. The breakfast was lovely, with homemade baked goods, homemade smoked salmon and fresh waffles. The host couldn’t have been more welcoming!

    Everything about this guesthouse is great! The owner was icelandic and very friendly. She even let our friend to use the showers for free and sleep in her camper van on the property! The guesthouse is well equipped (2 shared bathrooms/restrooms!) and the breakfast was yummy, with homemade products. The bedroom was roomy, with comfy beds. Everything was clean and functionnal. The location is pretty quiet and the view is nice over the fields. You can see the ocean in the distance.
