About this stay

Seljaland ferðaþjónusta functions as much as a restaurant with rooms attached as a hotel in the usual sense, and that combination is its main strength in a village with limited dining options. Family rooms include walk-in showers and electric kettles, and free WiFi covers the property. The traditional restaurant serves local and international cuisine with vegetarian options, alongside outdoor seating and a picnic area for good weather. A concierge service and tour desk help plan day trips and nature outings around Dalir district, useful for travellers without a fixed itinerary. The property is a hundred and fifty-six kilometres from Reykjavík Domestic Airport and popular with hikers, with reviewers highlighting the friendly host and the convenience of arranging local trips directly from the front desk rather than researching independently.

Our take

Seljaland ferðaþjónusta suits families and independent travellers who value a restaurant and tour desk on site over a private kitchen, since the dining and trip-planning here are the strongest part of the offer. It is the only stay among Búðardalur's family-friendly options without a private bathroom guaranteed for every room type, so check specifics when booking. Those wanting to self-cater should look to Stóra-Vatnshorn or Búdardalur glamping instead, both built around private kitchens rather than a restaurant.

✓Book dinner at the restaurant rather than assuming walk-in availability, it serves both local and international dishes.
✓Use the tour desk to plan hiking trips, staff know the local trails better than a generic guidebook.
✓Ask about room bathroom type when booking, configurations vary across the family rooms here.

Why we love it

A proper restaurant with vegetarian options
A tour desk for planning local hikes
Family rooms with electric kettles included
A concierge service, unusual for the village

Why guests love it
What stands out here is the restaurant, a proper kitchen serving local and international food rather than a token breakfast spread, which matters in a village with few other dinner options. The tour desk is genuinely useful for planning hikes around Dalir district without guessing at trail conditions. Rooms are comfortable rather than luxurious, and the concierge service is a nice touch for a property this size and this far from a major town.
