Gesthus Selfoss is actually a fairly large (& popular !) campsite for tents, RV's and of course cabins (which we rented). The cabin was comfortable, clean and for us (we had a rental car) very conveniently located. If we wanted to, we could have prepared meals (has 2-burner range, fridge, etc.) By the way, Selfoss is a very nice town and not far (15km) from the Kerið Crater Lake. Do book early because Selfoss is a popular stop for Golden Circle travelers. Two excellent restaurant experiences for us were: 'BK Bakari' in the morning (coffee, made on site breads, pastries, sandwiches) and 'Tryggvaskali' for dinner (amazing food & service; put a reservation in place)

Unexpected Maintenance
Unfortunately, Gesthus Selfoss was under maintenance, so they transferred us to Bella Apartments. Everything was nice, but as we were expecting a hot tub at Gesthus Selfoss, there is not one at Bella hotel so we were slightly disappointed.

We stayed in the Hvummar cabin and it was lovely! Spacious rooms (one with 2 twin beds and one with an queen bed), bathroom, living room, kitchen/dining area plus a large deck with a dining area, a grill, and a private hot tub. We enjoyed watching the birds and visiting with the neighborhood cat. The attached camp ground (for campers and tents) filled quickly, as there was a soccer tournament next door. The property is quite close to the Selfoss food hall, although we didn’t go. We went to the nearby Bonus for groceries and to the liquor store in the same parking lot for a few beers and cooked our own dinner and breakfast. We would definitely stay here again - and hope to do so again soon!

Response from Lísa on 30 Nov,2022
Sorry that you weren't satisfied. The reason for this particular smell is because the hot water in Iceland sometimes smells of sulphur because of the geothermal origins of the warm water. The warm water comes from the ground and is supplied by geothermal power plants, it is ideal for bathing but not drinking. Due to this, Icelanders have hot and cold water from two different sources. We sincerely hope you found accommodations which met your expectations on the rest of your trip.Best regardsGesthús Selfoss

The cabin was very clean and has a little kitchen if you need to cook. It also has a nice porch. We could hear the campers outside a little bit but it wasn’t too loud. It was nice to have a private bathroom (which can be hard to find in Iceland!). The staff were very nice as well. Our stay was short but we enjoyed it!

The stay was OK, but the message channel did not work well. The site message asks guests to contact them 72 hours before the stay. I did, but no responses, same about injuries about breakfast. We also left something in the fridge and asked to retreat them, but the response came quite late, too late to allow its cleaning crew to take care of it. The little cabin though does offer good convenience with a little kitchen. There are good bakeries in the town for breakfast.
