Traveller reviews

“10/10 – A lovely and peaceful place with a cozy garden and great hosts”
16 Jul 2025
We had such a wonderful stay at the Old School House. Honestly, part of me wants to gatekeep this place – but of course I won’t. As a half-Icelandic person, this has definitely become one of my new favorite spots to stay in the countryside. We loved the garden, which was open for everyone to use. We actually ended up staying in for both dinner and breakfast, even though we had plans to go out and eat at restaurants. But the garden was just too cozy – we couldn’t resist. We also really enjoyed the hot tub and had an amazing evening watching the sunset. The kitchen and bedrooms were super clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling to Iceland. Magnea and Greg were so lovely and welcoming. You can really feel that they care and want you to have the best stay possible. 10/10, would recommend!:))

“Highly recommendable! Most beautiful accomodation on our whole Iceland trip”
09 Jul 2025
Lovely owners and absolutely charming little hotel/hostel with much attention to detail and a personal touch to everything. Our kids loved the hot and cold tub. The Old School House features a stunning greenhouse sitting area, perfect for relaxing, reading and chatting (under a heating lamp when it gets too cool). Beds were very comfy. Good distance from sweet little town of Selfoss and good location for exploring the Golden Triangle on your way back to Reykjavik if that's were you are heading.

“Beautiful, peaceful and restorative”
06 Jun 2025
The location is amazing out in the peaceful country side but close to a lot of day trip potentials including Selfoss, Reykjavik, lava tunnels and more. The use of the beautiful kitchen is a bonus to save from eating out all the time. The garden/courtyard and hot tub/cold plunge areas are soothing after a long day of activities. This would be an amazing place to hold a retreat or group. When I checked in the Icelandic Roots database I’m related to Magnea, but she and Greg treated me like family before knowing that. Love this place!

“very personal and warm accommodation to feel good”
03 Jun 2025
We had a wonderful stay at Gaulverjaskoli. Magnea and Greg are very warm hosts and have created a charming place to stay. The rooms are very cozy and clean and have everything you need. The shared kitchen and the charming winter garden were also great. It was a wonderful place to linger and chat with the other guests. The kitchen itself is well equipped for cooking. Magnea and Greg had very good recommendations for activities in the area and selfoss was a great base for horse riding, driving to the golden circle and hiking to hot springs. We can highly recommend this accommodation.
