Traumhafte Landschaft mit gut eingerichteten Wanderwegen. Wer entschleunigen und aktiv die Natur genießen möchte, ist hier richtig! Man hat alles was man braucht und wird nicht mit unnötigen Dingen abgelenkt!:)

We loved our stay in a glamping tent here. It was the perfect chill out between hiking the laugavegur and fimmvorduhals trails. The little sauna is great after hiking, the staff were so helpful and the trails in the area are fantastic. Walk the orange trail, the glacier views are amazing!

Excellent stay at the volcano huts from beginning to end. Love the quiet, remote location. We had a glamping tent, which was set up wonderfully, with everything we could need. The beds were very comfortable, and the space heater, chairs and blankets were a great extra touch. It was so convenient to have the showers and washroom nearby, and we enjoyed dinner and the takeout lunch available. Perfect location for great hiking nearby. And loved the exciting bus ride to get there! Would definitely stay here again.

Easiest way to get closer to the majestic nature of Iceland, without packing a tent, sleeping bags or pad. Sure it's glamping (if you don't opt for a tent they have cute little cabins too)... but hey, you're on vacation, right? Great staff, great food, cold showers. :)

Glamping was amazing! Beautiful tent, super comfortable bed, and incredible scenery. *Be aware: you cannot drive to this property. You must take the bus. It’s an hour bus ride and they are only scheduled a few times a day*

Great staff, very helpful and friendly and kind. Inspiring people. Food was excellent, always with vegetarian choice. There is no hotpot but a cute sauna.

Bon séjour, le confort des chalets est très sommaire!

We booked this accommodation due to limited alternatives. It’s extremely expensive, even by Icelandic standards. The biggest surprise came via email after booking, advising us to take a bus. The listing mentioned a shuttle and that the place was only accessible by 4x4 or a scheduled bus with a surcharge—but it never stated the actual cost: €64 per person, one way. For four people, that would have added €512 on top of the €360 already paid—completely out of proportion. Had this been clearly stated upfront, we wouldn’t have booked. We ended up driving ourselves along a 25 km gravel road in a Dacia Duster, crossed five rivers, then called the hotel. Mikko—friendly and helpful—picked us up in a Defender to cross three more deep rivers, for which we paid an extra fee. The location is stunning, but the accommodation is very basic. Dinner was OK. Breakfast was good. I’m surprised more reviewers don’t mention this. Most guests seemed to arrive by bus—likely unaware of the full cost until after booking.

Everything was clean and good. Only down side was that the private room we booked did not keep the noise out of other rooms or the hallway. This is to be considered as you are paying 100$ for bus tickets on top of the stay to get there and back if you dont have a super jeep to get across the river. Views there are really good tho.

Camp pour randonneur,perdu au milieu de nulle part. Attention on ne peut s’y rendre qu’en utilisant des véhicules spéciaux. Trajet assez cher. L’endroit est magique mais le confort est très rudimentaire. Faut aimer ça

We stayed 3 nights at Volcano Huts in a "Shepard's cabin." The cabins are small, heated, and have a sink, kettle, hot plate, a few pots, and some plates and cups. You must provide your own linens (there is a fee/night for renting linens which is not reasonable for multiple nights -- we rented hiking poles, sleeping bags, and an extra blanket for a week from another vendor for what it would have cost to rent linen here). The cabins are not just rustic but also a bit over used/in need of repair. Our door did not seal, with a 5cm gap in the frame at the bottom which let in cold and flies (we stuffed it with socks). There was mold forming in the corners of the cabin. The mattresses on the beds were worn out maybe years ago and you could feel the framing under the mattress. These are possibly reasonable compromises for a location like this. Less understandable was the noise -- there are no quiet hours and people are out drinking and singing until quite late. Additionally, is not clear how knowledgeable the staff really are about the area. We happened to be there during three straight days of overhanging clouds. We asked repeatly for valley hikes. Only one staff ever really helped us with low-cloud hiking plans. Mostly, staff rec'd upper hikes with the vague idea that maybe the clouds would clear (vedur.is made it clear that was unlikely). Finally, Husadalur is not really in Thorsmork! You will spend 20m walking to Langidalur (or 30-40 to Basar) each time you set out

On plus side, Volcano Huts has beautiful and unique views of mountains/glaciers in Porsmork Valley, including through bedroom window. Guest kitchen also a nice amenity. On down side, two things. The “shared bathroom” did NOT include any showers. The showers are located a five minute walk away in a corrugated shed. Showers did NOT have reliable hot water on two separate occasions (two different times of day). Seems like you should have access to hot shower paying this much…. Second, hiking the red post trail (out to the point after the green post trail) became dangerous at the point of descent back into the valley. Wildflowers cover the trail down completely, it’s easy to lose it, not well signed at that point. They need to do more trail maintenance!!

Be warned: you CANNOT get to this hotel with your own vehicle! You're required to buy a separate bus ticket in order to get to the hotel. We weren't told until a couple weeks before our stay that a bus was required to reach the property. We were stunned to find that bus tickets for our family of four were almost TWICE as expensive as the $285 room we booked for a single night. The property's website told us we would be reimbursed only 80% of the cost. We were a little disappointed, but were content that we were able to cancel the reservation. We contacted the property via email. To our surprise, they told us we would lose the entire cost of the booking. Ultimately, we booked elsewhere and disputed the charge with our credit card company. They ruled in our favor and we received a credit for the full cost of the hotel room.

Getting there. Be aware that you have the right vehicle and arrangements to get here. We had a AWD vehicle rented from the airport. The first river crossing was precarious. The road got even tougher and some rental cars are not allowed in those roads. The GPS gave 4 more river crossings and we decided it was safer to turn back. Never made it. I wish the accessibility issue was made more obvious.

They will let you know last minute that you need a bus pass in order to get to the stay
