We stayed at the Guesthouse Skalafell in March 2022. The Guesthouse is on a farm with the accommodations and dining in separate buildings. The rooms seemed new with a large bathroom with a walk in shower. Free Wi-Fi is available in the guest rooms. The Guesthouse is run by the farmer and wife and it seems like they enjoy the various visitors. We arrived in time for dinner and were very pleased with our home cooked fish dinner that included soup and dessert. Breakfast the next morning was a hot breakfast with homemade banana bread. You can hear the nearby waterfall when you walk from your room to the office\dining room. We experienced a very quiet visit with all of the comforts we needed and expected. We would recommend this Guesthouse and would stay here again.
