Frequently asked questions about accommodations in Iceland

  • What are the must-see regions or cities in Iceland?

    For a truly memorable trip, you shouldn't miss Reykjavík, Iceland's vibrant capital, with its Hallgrímskirkja church and Harpa Concert Hall. The South Coast, with its waterfalls like Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss, black sand beaches like Reynisfjara, and glaciers like Sólheimajökull, is another must-see. The Snaefellsnes Peninsula, often called 'Miniature Iceland', offers diverse landscapes in a compact area. And for the adventurous, the highlands offer stunning, remote beauty, though they require a 4x4 vehicle.
  • What are the best accommodations in Iceland?

  • Are there any specific customs or traditions to be aware of in Iceland?

    Icelanders are generally quite reserved, so don't be surprised by a formal approach. Taking off your shoes when entering someone's home is customary. Showing respect for nature is paramount; stick to marked paths and leave no trace. Many Icelanders are quite familiar with English, but learning a few basic Icelandic phrases is always appreciated.
  • What are the best accommodations with a pool in Iceland?

    Svartaborg, Bakki and Armuli are the best accommodations with a pool in Iceland.

  • What is the local currency in Iceland?

    The Icelandic króna (ISK) is the local currency. Credit cards are widely accepted, but it's advisable to have some cash on hand for smaller establishments or rural areas.
  • What are the best accommodations with a jacuzzi in Iceland?

    The best accommodations with a jacuzzi in Iceland are Akurgerði Guesthouse 2 - Country Life Style, Nefsholt and Svartaborg.

  • Is driving in Iceland considered a good option for travellers?

    Driving is a popular way to explore Iceland, offering flexibility. However, conditions can be challenging, particularly in winter with ice and snow. A 4x4 vehicle is often essential for venturing beyond the main ring road, especially in the highlands. Always check road conditions before setting off and be prepared for changing weather.
  • What are the best accommodations for families and kids in Iceland?

  • What are some popular festivals in Iceland that attract visitors?

    The Reykjavík Culture Night is a large-scale event with various performances and exhibitions. The Secret Solstice music festival takes place during the summer solstice, offering 72 hours of daylight concerts. Þjóðhátíð, a popular national festival in the Westman Islands, is a lively celebration of Icelandic culture and music.
  • What are the best pet friendly accommodations in Iceland?

    The best pet friendly accommodations in Iceland are Nefsholt, Siglo Hotel By Keahotels and Hotel 1001 Nott.

  • Which region in Iceland is known for having the most favourable weather?

  • What are the best accommodations with parking in Iceland?

  • Which parts of Iceland are ideal for a week-long vacation?

    A week allows for a good exploration of the South Coast, including the Golden Circle (Þingvellir National Park, Geysir Geothermal Area, Gullfoss waterfall), and perhaps a detour to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Alternatively, you could focus on the North, exploring areas like Akureyri and Lake Mývatn.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Iceland?

    Reykjavík itself offers plenty to see and do for a weekend break. Alternatively, a weekend trip to the Golden Circle, easily accessible from Reykjavík, provides a taste of Iceland's diverse landscapes. The Blue Lagoon is a popular addition to either option.
