Torfus is a beautiful, solitary hotel in the wilderness of Iceland. The daily set menu for dinner is exceptional, the breakfast delicious and the accommodation comfortable and clean.

The beds! Oh my gosh the beds were like sleeping on concrete and I was so sad. I don't even typically mind a harder mattress but it just felt like they were missing a soft topper or something. You also couldn't connect to the TV with any external hardware (which wasn't an issue for us bc we didn't want to spend much time in the room itself).

This retreat was spectacular. It felt a little like Icelandic Disneyland and I say that as a compliment. Intentional in every detail, the dining experience was exquisite. They were able to cater to my many dietary needs, and it didn't take away from my husband's unfettered experience. The basalt hot tub was shared between three residences but that didn't take away from the experience. The retreat was located in a great place, close to some geothermal spas and a quick trip up to Þingvellir National Park.

We loved the setting, the remoteness, the peace, the beauty. Our cottage was warm and stylish and cosy and we LOVED our own natural private heated mini pool. The complimentary mini bar was a man unusual touch. The food in the Torfhus restaurant was EXCEPTIONAL, absolutely divine and the staff were lovely.

General sitting area - not warm and welcoming, a small library and fireplace will be great….the whole place lacks a gathering place for guests

In the middle of nature, close to golden circle attractions, peaceful, great food

beautiful property, loved the hot springs

The hotel advertised a service to wake us up if there were a chance of seeing the northern lights which we were very keen on and therefore signed up. We were disappointed to find out the next morning that other guests had seen the lights but we hadnt been alerted. We were more proactive after that and downloaded an app to alert us and in fact saw some fabulous lights in Reykjavik the following night.

The guest house is in a beautiful location conveniently located for all the golden circle sights. Our room was warm and cosy and we loved the outside hot tub. The breakfasts and the dinners were all delicious and the staff were super friendly and helpful.

It would have been great if the house had a wardrobe or a closet.

Very unique, relaxing and beautiful place to stay. We stayed in a bigger house. The house was beautifully designed. The beds were comfy. The house also had personal hot tub/hot spring. The retreat has amazing restaurant. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious. The staff is very friendly and welcoming.

The only thing that was not perfect, the temperature in the cottages was on the warm side.

Unique, beautiful, excellent service!

Waiters could be more up front about the cost of the wine pairings with dinner. (roughly £80 per person)

Everything, the basalt pool in particular was bliss

Stunningly beautiful property. Staff was exceptional, attentive to all needs. We loved the snowmobiling excursion they booked for us. The meals were perfect, one of the best parts of our stay.

Unique stay in Iceland in a beautiful setting, impeccable service!

it is remote so you need a car

our stay at Torfhus felt like a real retreat, it was quiet and the rooms were beautifully designed and cosy. The outside hot spa was a real treat. staff were very attentive and the chef created a wonderful culinary experience each evening. although it’s priced at the top end it really is a stay we will never forget.
