Outstanding set up if you have a car

This is a wonderful set up for anyone with a car. Not far off main southern journey there are excellent rooms with a significant common kitchen complete with oil and other utensils. The rooms are very comfortable, good size and nice bathroom- much better than the pictures. The waffles are a bonus. Lovely view of snow capped mountains.

Fantastic accommodation with comfortable rooms and a spacious shared area for guests to enjoy. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and have created an environment where every detail is designed to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Every morning, they prepare delicious waffles for all guests, which are absolutely amazing. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Everything was great. Comfortable, clean, very quite rooms. Very, very comfy bed. Lovely family running the place. Fully equiped kitchen. Free breakfast (but don’t expect a buffet, there are tasty waffles with jam and peanut butter and good coffee).

Hosts are super nice.

Hosts are super friendly and nice, beyond excellent. The common kitchen has everything. The common dining area is a plus. The stay doesn't include breakfast but host made fresh waffles for guests. Coffee and tea are available all the time.

Lovely stay with fantastic hosts

It is a special place: not a typical hotel, nor a typical B&B. In addition to the nice room, there is a common room for breakfast, meals and socialisation with other guests. A unique experience.

Home away from home with fabulous hospitality

We loved our stay at Loa's Nest. The property is well-located, clean, homey and comfortable. But what made it extra special was the great hospitality from owner Unnur and her family. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Great place to stay!

Everything described in the details was what we experienced. Welcoming common room space, lots of parking, tea/coffee/hot water, safe, warm - all the things you need.

Unique stay

Purpose built for accommodating visitors. The location, in the middle of a field, easily accessible by car. The rural view. The self check-in and the availability of staff for a friendly welcoming chat. Kitchen was well equipped for preparing meals. The sitting area is organised in such a way that it makes easy to meet other visitors . Live the waffles in the morning. Will definitely return when visiting Iceland.

Perfect stay in Iceland ✨

Our stay at Loa’s Nest was absolutely amazing. The hosts were incredible — so kind, welcoming, and helpful from the very beginning. Everything was spotless and perfectly maintained. The rooms felt luxurious, very comfortable, cozy, and beautifully designed. We slept incredibly well. Breakfast was wonderful, honestly one of the best we had during our trip. You can really feel the care and attention to detail in every part of the experience. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Iceland.

Just perfect in every way

Loa’s Nest is a gem. Unpretentious, comfortable, quiet and clean and made even better by the wonderful hosts, Unnur, Ingi and their son. Such a calm, welcoming atmosphere which made you feel immediately at home, and helpful advice freely given on things to do and the routes to take. We’re discerning travellers but were blown away by Loa’s Nest and would stay there again in a heartbeat.

This accomodation is a gem in the countryside near Hella. It's clean, quiet and the rooms are spacious. The owner is very friendly, she gave us many suggestions in terms of places to visit and baked waffles for us in the morning. If you want an amazing experience, choose this one!

Second time staying, will definitely come back in any future Iceland trips

Second time staying, will definitely come back every time I come to Iceland. The family that runs it is beyond lovely, they care a lot about their guests, and they have dedicated a lot of time to make this place a cozy and welcoming B&B.
