Helga was incredibly welcoming and she gave us great local tips that made our visit very enjoyable. It’s the most authentic Icelandic experience we’ve had during our ringroad trip. Comfortable beds, nice facilities and beautiful view.

However (these are very minor things) but if you have a lot of luggage or bad knees or something like that I will say there's some climbing to get to the cabins. The wifi was really bad during my stay. It wasn't a huge problem since I was busy with the comic festival but it was annoying. The outside shower wasn't my cup of tea either since I'm a very shy person (it was closed and all, I wasn't there in the nude in front of every town member or anything haha) and it was kinda cold so I had to rush.

Very cozy and nice. Slept like a baby throughout the night in the cabin and really enjoyed my stay. I went down to the bakery and bought a snúður which I enjoyed with by the open window and it was a really great, almost nostalgic feeling to sit there and look at Siglufjörður. The owners were so warm and welcoming too. If there was an issue, they'd reply fast and they were super understanding. The owners showed me around and pointed to where everything is. Having my own bathroom and kitchen was a huge part of why I chose to stay at a cabin and it didn't disappoint. The bed was comfortable and there was very little noise so sleeping through the nights was very easy. I also liked that they had a hair dryer and lots of useful stuff in the cabin like scissors and other stuff in case you forgot it at home. Fantastic view of the town too. I didn't get a chance to try the hot tub but I will definitely do that if I stay here again. I had a great stay. Absolutely recommend this place!

The view and the hot tub.

Need to take some stairs to get to the property. Hence if there are full size suitcases, in our case there were 2, can be tricky to drag them all the way way up. But don't let that stop you from enjoying the beautiful stay. Again I would highly recommend the place.

We stayed in one of the 2 bedroom apartments which had very comfortable beds, huge bathroom and kitchen, sitting area, dinning space and an awesome view of the church, the waterfront. There is one hotub included. Hosts are absolutely wonderful and welcoming. Highly recommend this place.

The location was perfect to walk around the town or walk to shops and restaurants. Each room had an amazing view. There was plenty of room and we were able to do laundry. It was my favorite spot I stayed in Iceland. The host was very accommodating and answered all my questions. She even got the hot tub ready for us early.

Helga was really cordial and helpful. Very clean beautiful rooms and kept very clean. Definitely recommend an would go back.

The location was great and the facilities were very clean and well organised. We showed up just before 8 pm and only made the booking couple of hours before but our room was ready for us with a beautiful view.

Make sure to do your shopping in Akureyri Reykjavík so you can do your own cooking - better tasting and (more) budget friendly ;)

Beautiful spot above the town and overlooking the fjord and beyond. We stayed in the separate cabins which both have tremendous views and easy access to the hot tub. Helga and Dagur could not be nicer!

Couldn't think of anything we didn't like

We liked everything: hospitality, location, view, cleanliness and style, how well equipped cabins were! What an amazing town, full of history and good people. Dagur, thank you for running the hot tub for us!! It was such a perfect finish to our long day! So much to see, so little time. I guess we'll have to come again! Helga and Dagur also know everything about skiing, if you are considering coming in the winter. Don't hesitate, you won't regret!!

Absolutely fell in love with this charming place. Helga was an exceptional host, she welcomed us and showed us around the property. We traveled during the shoulder season and managed to get the entire downstairs to ourselves, so the shared common areas felt like our own. We especially loved the espresso maker & all the interesting books. This is the coziest place we stayed during our trip to Iceland, and it's so beautifully decorated. The bed was so cozy, the entire place was immaculately clean, and the VIEW from your room is amazing! I can't recommend this place enough. We even got some beautiful snow overnight!

Everything was great

The location is great, I was given a room in the front which looks to the church and the mountains. I was upgraded to a double room even though I booked a twin, and it was a pleasant surprise🙂 The owners are very welcoming and they gave me tips what to see on the morning I was leaving. The house is spotless clean and tidy, and I liked that there is a proper table in the room to eat, and 2 chairs which is not likely in other guesthouses. There are some dark, thin curtains on the window, but there is also blinds on it, so it's ideal for people who cannot sleep in the light (in the summer months) The bed was comfortable and the linen was so soft, I didn't want to get out of it in the morning🙂 I highly recommend staying here if you are in Siglufjordur.

Everything was wonderful.

Helga and Dagur were wonderful! Our room in their guesthouse was spotless and comfortable. Helga gave us spot-on advice about winter hiking options and the best places to see the northern lights, which we were able to see for the first time on our trip. Dagur even got staff to open the Herring Museum (closed in winter) for us and accompanied us there. We hope to return again sometime.

The house is B E A U T I F U L!!! Right in the heart of Siglufjördur quite close to an amazing bakery. Helga is so caring and kind, we wish we would’ve spent more time at her home and with her, she has amazing tips and suggestions for your trip and loves to share her knowledge 😍 The room was beyond perfect, comfortable and warm beds with an amazing view… we even saw northern lights from the comfort of our room! We are definitely coming back ✨

We loved our stay at Herring House! The rooms are clean and very comfortable and it is in great location in town. Our favorite part of the stay was having breakfast with fellow guests in our host's gorgeous home with a beautiful view of the town and fjord.

The bed was one of the most comfortable of our week. The cabin is cute and very well presented and we enjoyed the outside shower, especially as there was a room with towels and heating and a guitar if you fancy having a strum whilst lounging in your undies. Highly recommend the Herring Museum, it was fabulous and great value for money And the bakery for brekkie
