Gil guesthouse
About this stay
Gil guesthouse runs the most complete restaurant of any property in Búðardalur, serving dinner with both vegetarian and vegan options, pizza and a barbecue grill, alongside a breakfast that includes juice and cheese rather than a bare minimum spread. Rooms come with private bathrooms, mountain views and parquet floors, plus a work desk, TV and soundproofing that most other stays in the village do not offer. A sun terrace, lounge, meeting rooms and a tour desk round out the amenities, and private check-in and check-out add a level of service uncommon this far from Reykjavík. At a hundred and eighty-nine kilometres from Reykjavík Domestic Airport, it sits near Skriðuland Dalasýsla, and with seven hundred and forty-eight reviews it is the best-reviewed property in the village by volume.

Our take
Gil guesthouse suits travellers who want the widest food choice in Búðardalur, including proper vegetarian and vegan dinner options rarely found this far into Dalir district, plus enough business amenities, a work desk and meeting rooms, for anyone mixing work with the trip. Families do well here for the same reasons as budget travellers, since the restaurant covers picky eaters and the soundproofing helps with early bedtimes. Those wanting a beachfront setting should look to The Castle instead.
Why we love it
- A restaurant with real vegetarian and vegan options
- Parquet floors and mountain views
- A work desk and soundproofing in every room
- Nearly 750 reviews, the most in the village
Why guests love itThe restaurant is the reason to choose Gil over the other budget and family options in Búðardalur, a proper vegetarian and vegan dinner menu alongside pizza and barbecue that most guesthouses this size do not attempt. Rooms are comfortable, with parquet floors and genuine soundproofing that matters if travelling with children on an early bedtime. The meeting rooms feel like a mismatch for a farming village at first, until you realise how many travellers pass through combining work and driving.
