The view you get after a 2.5km hike to the falls. As a treat on the way you get fantastic views and 2 other waterfalls on the way up.
The smaller of the two waterfalls of Hengifoss. Flanked by basalt columns formed during the intense heat & pressures of a lava flow. #waterlust

9.2/10 Wonderful! (223 reviews)
Very easy check in. Rooms were clean. 5 min walk to the main part of Reykjavík.Only slight negative is the bathroom doesn’t have a window that you can open so the room can get quite humid after a shower. 9/10.

8/10 Very Good! (4 reviews)
This dome was perfect! Very clean which is the most important to me. It had all the essentials, extra blankets and the beds were comfortable. The host was super responsive and sent delivered more wood for us quickly. The town of Selfoss is 5-6 kilometers and has nice dining options. My family enjoyed our stay very much and will be coming back!
