Welcome to Bólstaðarhlíð Guesthouse
At Bolstaðarhlíð Guesthouse, comfort meets calm.
Here, the mornings are slow, the air is fresh, and the views stretch for miles.
One of a Kind Everything
Bólstaðarhlíð is a farm in Northwest Iceland, where the same family has lived since 1825. The small church nearby was built in 1888 by one of our ancestors and still stands as a quiet part of the landscape. The main farmhouse, originally built in 1952, has been carefully renovated in recent years to welcome guests in comfort.
Today, the farm is home to around 100 sheep, 40 horses, a dog, and a cat — and we continue to produce local food as part of everyday life.
Our family has cared for this land and home for generations.
Now, we enjoy welcoming guests and sharing the calm and beauty of our surroundings.
We hope your stay here brings you the same joy and peace it brings us every day.
Life in the Valley
In summer, the valley fills with light — long sunsets, bright nights, and endless hiking days.
Autumn brings calm, golden hills, and the start of the northern lights season.
Winter is quiet and magical, with snow-covered views and auroras from September to April.
Spring is crisp and quiet, with clear skies, melting snow, and the valley slowly coming back to life.
Whether you’re here to explore, take photos, relax, or just enjoy a barbecue with a view — it’s a great place to spend your time.
Our Accommodation Types
We offer a variety of accommodation types to suit different needs — from Guesthouse rooms to private Studio Apartments and a House (Selið). Choose from Double or Twin rooms in the main Guesthouse, a bright Cottage with valley views, two fully equipped Studio Apartments (one with a mountain view), or Selið — a spacious House ideal for couples, families, or small groups. The accommodation also work well for solo travelers looking for more space and privacy.
Each unit includes modern amenities such as a private bathroom, kitchenette, balcony, and complimentary Wi-Fi. You’ll also find a dining table, outdoor furniture, and a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and oven — ideal whether you’re staying for one night or a longer visit.

Valley Moments We Love
From the iconic little church to skies alive with the Northern Lights, these are the scenes that stay with you long after you’ve left.
The Church
While the church isn’t open for visits inside, you’re very welcome to take photos from the outside — we do too!
The Views
It’s peaceful, quiet, and full of charm in every season.
Whether you’re here for hiking, photography, or just taking it all in, the nature around the property makes it easy to slow down and enjoy.
The Spectacular Northern Lights
When the aurora activity is high and the skies are clear, you don’t need to drive anywhere — just step outside.
The area is dark enough to see them with the naked eye, and many of our guests capture them with a simple smartphone.

Exceptional
“We got there later than expected (after 11pm) and yet the host was so nice to come out and help us find our room, it was a very nice stay and two very friendly dogs greeted us in the morning. Was a really nice stay, would 100% stay with them again.“
