Lovely remote farm outside of Selfoss. Close to Golden Circle. We caught the Northern lights. Helena was friendly and welcoming. We missed her 6pm goat tour but hope to come back again.

The room was very clean and comfortable with a well-equipped kitchenette. It's in a perfect location for viewing the Northern Lights when the sky is clear, if you're able to stay up late enough. Helena was very attentive and responsive and even gave us a tour of the farm, introducing us to her very friendly, adorable goats and of course the barn cat that looks after them :-)

Our stay with Helena and Stefan was wonderful. It was great to learn about the Icelandic goats and the farm is so pretty. Rooms are clean and very convenient to have kitchen amenities.

This beautiful property has a goat farm! The goats are very friendly and we even got a tour of their facilities. The apartment was clean with a nice fridge, stove, very comfortable bed. It was calm and peaceful and convenient to the Golden Circle. And it was very economical!

My wife and I loved staying at Skálatjörn for our first 3 nights in Iceland! Helena is an excellent host, and we loved how quiet the property was. Plus, they have goats, a cat, and a dog!

Beautiful large apartment with three bedrooms, bath, kitchen and dining/sitting area. Plenty of room for 5 people. Absolutely loved the location out in the countryside with great views. The host and hostess were incredibly friendly and helpful. There were goats on the property and tours were given each night at 6. Something special you would not get elsewhere that enhanced our experience in Iceland. Highly recommend.

The setting is wonderfully Rural. The farm is well cared for and the facilities are very nice! The location was great for seeing the south coast. The owner is fantastic and very accommodating. Would definitely stay there again!

Helena and Stephan were very accommodating and have a wonderful guesthouse on a sprawling property close to Selfoss. We shopped for breakfast groceries before checking in because the kitchenette had everything needed. Very clean and comfortable beds. One of the highlights was the goat farm tour where we met the extended family, including Max.

Our host Helga was very nice. We had a large 3 bedroom apartment attached to the barn. When we first walked in we were worried that we would continually smell the goats but that did not happen. We made it in time to go on the goat tour. It was wonderful. The apartment had all the facilities needed for our stay - refrigerator, cooktop, coffee maker...

Helena, as the owner, wonderful. She did a tour of her goats (and the kids were so cute). The room was great, including the bathroom.

The property is ok, not as impressive as we want but it served the purpose. We booked the property at the last minute and need some place to stay and cook the food ourselves. The room has very thing we need, a mini electronic cooktop, pots, and pans. Though, the road to get into the property was very rough. We came from Vik and were driving on route 1 and made exit and that was when we found out that the gravel road was difficult to drive. Other than that, every was okay.

We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting Iceland. The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. It was convenient to Selfoss and easy to get to. The guesthouse is about 100 meters from where the owners stay. Need to pick up the key there. The goats and cat are cute.

We enjoyed staying in a studio apartment. It was well stocked with kitchen supplies for simple meals. We didnt get to see any animals but we did arrive later in the v evening and left in the early AM. Great place to stay.

Helena was a great host who let us spend some time with the goats. Her home is very spacious and has a nice “comfty” feeling to it.

This was a beautiful property on a farm that raises goats. The room was clean with a fully stocked kitchen, bathroom, and a very comfortable bed. Great view of the countryside out of our window. Would definitely recommend.
