It was all around just mediocre. The only real down side was that staff hadn’t shown up the day of check in. So in turn we had to wait about 45 minutes in the lobby for our room to be ready. Not a horrible place just don’t expect much.

Other than staff and the customer service, there was nothing pleasant about this property. These are the following issues i encountered: - Bugs on the comforter. Saw it crawling in the middle of the night - The comforters were smelly - Room was extremely hot in the middle of the night. The thermostat in the room doesn’t work. If there is no AC on the property, they should arrange for a fan in the room

We had a great experience staying at Hali. The pictures of the property on Expedia kept us wondering what we are going to get but were amazingly surprised with what we got! It was full upper level of a beautiful cottage (which they call apartment). The breakfast had a wide spread and lot of deli made with Lamb meat.

I can see why Hali Country Hotel gets good ratings. The rooms are small and very basic, but they are extremely clean and have a private bathroom which is priceless lol The property is beautiful, and it’s a pleasure just to walk around, but the restaurant is a real stand out. The food was wonderful, and it is attached to a museum which was also an unexpected pleasure. The entire staff was delightful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

Room was comfortable but a little too warm. Beds could be better at supporting the back. Worn out actually. Restaurant and manager were good. They could have provided coffee and tea as well as a small refrigerator in the room. The coffee machine in the commons area did not work, but I could reboot it by pulling the plug and re-plugging.

Very quiet area. The cottage was huge and very clean. It was also very quiet. However, if you are thinking about booking here, you should know that the hotel is in the middle of nowhere. There are no grocery stores or restaurants nearby. They have a restaurant, but the menu is limited and not kid friendly. Our room had a kitchenette so, if we had known about the limited options for dinner, we would have bought groceries in Vik.

Beautiful property right on the water with a view of the glacier. The beds were very comfy after our long days of exploring eastern Iceland. Food was delicious and plentiful. We loved how adorable our apartment was. Very sweet and helpful staff. We woke up to a flat tire. The hotel staff was so sweet and let us hang in out room for an extra hour past checkout just so we had a place to sit and wait for roadside assistance. Just said they would clean our room last. The museum was really neat too! I actually had no interest initially, but I am really glad we spent the time to wander through. It was very interesting!

This is an absolutely beautiful location with friendly staff, great food, and clean, comfortable rooms for a reasonable price. The property feels homey, and we would have loved to stay longer than just one night. The were very accommodating to add a fourth bed to a 3-person room, and though they said it would be tight, there was still plenty of space. The restaurant was very expensive, even by Icelandic standards, but the food was good and the convenience of eating on the property after a long day of activities was great. Breakfast was perfect with a lot of homemade items.

I was quite disappointed with the cleanliness of the apartment. The kitchen utensils—including pots, pans, cutlery, plates, and cups—clearly had not been properly cleaned. Many of the items were put away wet, which was unhygienic and unpleasant. It appeared as though the property relies on guests to clean their own dishes, but for the price I paid, I expected a higher standard of housekeeping and a thorough clean between stays. The bathroom was also lacking in basic amenities. There were no toiletries provided, apart from a single bottle of hand wash. Additionally, there was no shower caddy or shelf to place our own products, which made things inconvenient. On a more positive note, the staff at both the reception and the onsite restaurants were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was included in our stay and officially started at 7:30am. Since we had an early departure, the staff kindly offered to prepare packed breakfasts for us, which we really appreciated. Another major convenience is that if you're joining a tour with Glacier Adventure, their pickup point is located just outside the property—very handy for early starts. While the location and staff were excellent, the lack of cleanliness and basic amenities in the apartment really detracted from the overall experience.
