is the only place to stay in this park if you don`t want to do camping. We spent 3 days in the park. First night we slept in Svinafel. 3 km away from the park. Was worth to stay there as well. The landscape like Lord of the rings. you can walk next to the mountains in a place with... More

Me and my wife stayed for three nights in July. The old man running the place was very helpful. The rooms are very small given the number of people sharing them and the price. The view and location (only place to stay inside the park unless you are camping) was nice, the place was clean and the beds acceptable if... More

The scenery you can enjoy by simply opening the window of your room is truly amazing. The rooms are a bit small but cozy, equipped with tea/coffee facilities and sink. All bathrooms are shared. The kitchen is on a separate hut 5 meters from the main building, and it can feel a bit crammed around lunch or dinner time, especially... More

Having read about how quickly the few accommodation options around Skaftafell National Park book up in advance, I contacted Bolti farmhouse 3 months in advance to secure a single room with 2 beds for 2 nights. I received confirmation from an individual named Heidar. Having read a couple reviews online stating Bolti had double booked, I decided I should again... More

My girlfriend & I stayed here in a private room w/ share bathroom in July 2012 for 4 nights. It seems to be run by one middle-aged man who spoke okay English, but certainly not perfectly. We made reservations by email: bolti123@gmail.com as that seemed to be the best way for to contact them. The house is very interestingly decorated... More

A small farmhouse and the only hostel in the National Park. It has a certain charm about it that some may see as a bit old fashioned but I liked it. There was no internet access (computers or wifi) but that's probably good since you don't come to the national park to surf the web. Kitchen is in a separate... More

There's not much choice in the area as Skaftafell is in the proper wilderness. It's a beautiful, breathtaking place and Bolti is in a lovely locations. The guesthouse itself is incredibly basic; tiny rooms, small single beds, a shower that you cant stand up in... However considering the location it's as expected and does the job. There's a small shared... More

Cottage Bolti is a charming farmhouse run by a darling woman. We stayed in the main house but there are some cottages as well. Make sure when booking that you note if you need bedding (or bring your own sleeping bag). Good value for the money. The only issue is the lack of food - you need to drive a... More

Bölti has a scenic location in the middle of Skaftafell National Park on a hill overlloking the whole area. All marked treks start directly in front of the house. The rooms are extremely small, but quite cute and a very good value for the unique location of Bölti. You have to bring your own food as there is no breakfast.... More
