“The best place in the world.”
This was not my first time at Hotel Djúpavík and I left completely satisfied. Even though I was the only guest in the hotel that night, or maybe because of that, I was perfectly taken care of in every way. Moreover, it was a beautiful clear night with the northern lights on it. Djupavik is simply the best place in the world.

“A wonderful surprise”
I loved the remoteness of the location. It is situated perfectly within its surrounding overlooking the sea. The interior decorations are what really makes this place, as it connects to the Icelandic heritage the owner strives to protect.

“A thoroughly enjoyable stay, exceeded expectations and super friendly staff.”
A superb hotel in the tiny village of Djúpavík. The location is very central once you get there, which is subject to the road conditions, completely out of the hotel's jurisdiction of course. The room was comfortable, double bed, view outside to the nature, a tap and sink in the room for added comfort, and a foldable table. WiFi throughout the place, at times a bit slow, but still very fine. Breakfast included as continental buffet, was able to ask for plant-based milk as well for the cereal which they had. Staff are very friendly and they have a very atmospheric place, free tea/coffee station always stocked up, and even a puzzle on the go that everyone can help with. You can inquire about the tours to the old herring factory from there, as it is the same owners and they do daily tours at 10am for less than 4k ISK, which is well worth it to be told so much about the history of the place and its importance.

Lovely place on the end of Iceland. I had lucky to not sharing with someone red small cabin. If your like walking, go to historical herring factory. Of you.wanna drive, go to Norðurfjörður, the road is masterpiece. Of course with fog is cozy, but with rain - no.

Old but idyllic place almost end of the rd. 643. This is no passing trough destination. I suggest you are atleast 2 nights so you can truly explore the hotel itself and the surroundings. We were welcomed right away, provided free tea and coffee ♡ In the evening went for dinner and the meal was perfection. I honestly had my best food in this location on my 9 day travel. I can't put a bad thing in this review about this place, even if I wanted to, it was just so good.

“Great find for a trip to Strandir”
Stunning location, quirky comfortable hotel. 2 bathrooms with separate toilets (we didn’t experience any queues in the mornings), clean rooms, comfortable bed. Really good food for dinner, nice breakfast. The owner showed us around the old herring factory which was fantastic. Very interesting history and worth a visit by itself. This area of the Westfjords (I call it the Best Fjords) is insanely beautiful. So worth a visit if you have good driving skills and a 4x4. Very much enjoyed our visit to Djúpavík.

“Cosy, excellent breakfast, the breakfast is the most important part of any hotel stay. 5 star...”
Old rustic small 2 Horse town, literally, it is agent fishing village out in nowhere. If you want to experience how the Icelandic people did live in the olden times, go visit. It is not a 5 star luxury hotel, but it what it lack in stars it excel in experience. But beware, there's really no cellular in this area, and the free wifi is only in the main house, but after all you are not there to hang on facebook or twitter, you are there to smell the ocean and experience how the natives did live, or you might just need a bed for the night or 2, so it is perfect. Be sure your car is up to the task, because you are not driving on asphalt, but rather gravel road that are barely hanging on to the cliff, and be sure to have spare tire or 2. And drive slow, the Sheeps with lambs will jump in front of your car out of nowhere. But if you drive to slow the ghost of the people who have died walking between towns at winter time and died might try to get in your car.

“Fabulous place great food people and stories”
We loved this place from the stories of the fishing industry and visiting the factory to seeing how the family ploughed their time energy and passion into restoring the herring factory for future generations. This place is a gem and worth the deviation off the beaten track. Our fave place we stayed in 2.5weeks in Iceland. Great food too.

“The location is truly awesome,at the end of a fjord with waterfalls rushing all around,”
Breakfast was buffet style with a limited choice of items, but hey you are a couple of hundred K's from Reykjavik

“The most unique and moving place to stay in such beautiful surroundings”
Loved this hotel and village! So quirky and so much history. The hotel was jam packed with mementos. Really moved by the Herring factory tour especially stories of personal experiences there. Such dedication to a cause. Isolated and beautiful. Lovely dining room and food. Kind and attentive, helpful staff. Loved everything about being here.

“Exceptional chance to enjoy something different ❤️”
Very warm ambience...old style hotel, yes...and that's why I love the place and will return...and again and again also for the very good special Icelandic selection of things to choose from the menu: Among which delicious land fillet from the area and/or cod loin. Perfect selection of red wine from three different countries is a sign of harmonious taste knowledge too. There's also possible to have a simple ice-cream for dessert ❤️ if you're not ready for a pieces of deverse different cakes. Again the ambience dining at the restaurant is something one cannot explain in words ❤️
