The location plus the design and facilities are unbeatable, unless you prefer staying in a tent in the wind and rain :) Very beautifully designed rooms with all comforts. Excellent restaurant. Sauna and hot tubs. Its expensive but consider it a gift to yourself. Be aware that the groundfloor does not have the 'sit in the window' feature but rather a patio in front of the large window.

We stayed for one night but wish we could have stayed an extra night.

Fantastic and magical place. I liked that the hotel looked and felt new and design-forward. Also, loved the view!

The perfect highland base in the outback.

The most remote and yet the most beautiful hotel we stated in in Iceland. Cosy, comforting, delicious food and very friendly staff. The walks around the highland base are simply breathtaking with the red volcanic stone of Kerlingafjoll. An absolute must.

It's just about the only place to stay and relax if you are visiting Kerlingarfjoll and after spending a day on the F roads it's certainly nice to have a comfortable room to sleep in.

Did not meet expectations

Great location and nice place but hotel is very over rated. Cost is not justified except by the fact that this is the only place available in the area.

A truly wonderful experience in the Icelandic Highlands!

The Highland Base is an absolute gem nestled amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Kerlingarfjöll mountains. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning scenery and the serene atmosphere. The hotel itself is a marvel of modern design, seamlessly blending into the natural landscape. Our room was comfortable and stylish, with large windows offering panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. But what truly elevated our stay from great to exceptional was the incredible service provided by the staff, especially Thomas and Eugenia. Their warm hospitality, genuine helpfulness, and attention to detail made us feel like valued guests throughout our stay. They were always available to answer questions, offer recommendations, and ensure we had everything we needed to enjoy our time at the Highland Base. Whether you're seeking adventure in the highlands or simply a peaceful escape in nature, the Highland Base is an ideal destination. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable Icelandic experience.
