Accommodation
Iceland has a full spectrum of accommodation options, from hikers' huts to business-stand-
ard hotels, hostels, working farms, guesthouses, apartments and school-based summer
rooms. Luxury and boutique hotels are predominantly found in Reykjavík and tourism hot-
spots in the southwest, with a select few in regional pockets.
There's been a boom of new hotels and guesthouses, and many existing ones have ex-
panded and upgraded to cater to the rapid increase in tourist numbers. Even still, demand
often outstrips supply in tourist hotspots such as the capital, the south and Mývatn. Sum-
mer prices are high, and getting higher with increasing demand.
For the prices charged, accommodation is often of a lower standard than you might ex-
pect from a developed European destination. Although rooms are generally spotless, they
are usually small, with thin walls and limited facilities.
Please note the following:
We recommend that between June and August travellers book all accommodation in ad-
vance (note there is rarely any need to prebook campsites).
