Dalía
About this stay
Dalía is a straightforward guest house in Búðardalur, built around private rather than shared facilities, a step up from a hostel-style budget stay without moving into hotel territory. Every room includes its own bathroom with a shower and a wardrobe, and free on-site private parking sits right beside the building rather than on the street. There is no restaurant or communal kitchen on site, so guests plan meals in the village or bring their own. What sets the property apart in a small selection of Búðardalur stays is language coverage, with staff speaking English, Icelandic and Swedish fluently, useful for Scandinavian travellers passing through Dalir district on the way toward the Westfjords or back from Route 1. Non-smoking rooms and heating throughout round out a compact, well-run stay for a single night or two.
- Private bathrooms throughout

Our take
Dalía suits a traveller who wants privacy over amenities, a clean room with its own bathroom rather than a shared hostel setup, without paying for a restaurant or lounge that goes unused on a one-night stop. Swedish-speaking travellers in particular will find the multilingual staff a genuine convenience rarely offered at this scale. Anyone wanting an on-site kitchen or evening meal should look to Gil guesthouse or the Space capsule Hostel instead, since Dalía keeps its offering deliberately minimal.
Why we love it
- Private bathroom in every single room
- Multilingual staff covering three languages
- Free private parking right at the door
- A quiet, no-frills base for the night
Why guests love itThis is a straightforward, well-kept stopover rather than a destination in itself, and that is exactly its appeal for anyone breaking up a longer drive. Every room's private bathroom is a genuine step up from a shared hostel setup at a similar rate, and the multilingual front desk removes a layer of friction that smaller guest houses in rural Iceland often leave unresolved. Do not expect a restaurant or lounge, this is a place to sleep well, not linger.
