Great stopover! Well equipped kitchen to cook your own food and convivial dining room to meet other guests. Surprise bonus - the owner comes in to cook waffles for breakfast.

Would definitely stay there again.

Very clean. Easy to find. Great shower. Nothing around the guesthouse, but a very good restaurant not too many miles away at a local hotel.

Delightful place

What a lovely and relaxing place to stay! The room was clean and comfortable, and the host was so friendly and helpful. We were pleased to find a large meeting/dining area where we could play cards, and also enjoy a delicious breakfast prepared by our host in the morning. The area is beautiful and bucolic. We enjoyed our stay here very much!

Thank you for a wonderful waffle breakfast. The space is new and fresh. We had a great sleep on the mattress.

Loa’s Nest was perfect for our stay. Very nice clean, modern rooms and a great shared kitchen we could use for meal prep. The hosts made waffles for breakfast with their homemade rhubarb jam. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Location is good for exploring the golden circle and southern Iceland.
Roderick, 3-night trip

Our stay at Loa’s Nest was memorable, especially our conversation with the delightful owners, so hospitable and informative. The advertised waffles were delicious, but the menu could have been expanded a bit.

Wonderful place in a very quite location, only 5 km from the main road. The property has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Ingi and Unnur were great hosts. We really appreciate their attention to detail and kindness. The cherry on top: Waffles for breakfast ❤️

Our room as well as the common areas were very clean and neatly equipped. We loved how quiet it was. The owner is super nice and even made waffles with home made jam in the morning. Kids toys were provided too. We loved it.

Tastefully decorated, including art pieces, especially also the towels folded beautifully. Super breakfast (fresh waffles with rhubarb jelly or other options). Friendly hosts (family business), who are interested in their guests. Super location. Well equipped kitchen. Excellent shower, en-suite bathroom. Best place we stayed in in Iceland.

Lugar muy bonito y limpio, alejado de toda poblaci

Lugar muy bonito y limpio, alejado de toda poblacion ideal para pasar unos dias tranquilos y ver auroras boreales. Cas muy nueva y bien cuidada. Tiene cocina y se puede uttilizar. Cerca de Hella. Dueño amable aunque desayuno un poco pobre, no fruta no yogurt...

Great experience, felt right at home.

Great location for the Golden Circle and Aurora hunting. Host was super helpful, friendly, and communicative. Made guests waffles in the morning. You can store food in fridge or freezer. Kitchen is great for prepping own meals. Coffee and tea is available! Rooms were clean and comfortable
