All hotels and guesthouses have been handpicked by our travel experts based on their high standards and excellent ratings, as well as their proximity to Iceland’s top sights. We only work with responsible suppliers who have a positive impact on the local community.

You can choose from 3 levels of accommodation on self-drive tours: Budget, Comfort, and Quality. On other tour types, such as privately guided tours, there may be fewer options.

No matter which category of accommodation you pick, with Iceland Tours you’ll always get:

Below you can see examples of the kind of accommodation you can expect in each category. 

Although we can’t guarantee a stay at a specific hotel or guesthouse, we’ll always make sure you stay somewhere of an equal standard in the area you’re in.

In this category, you can expect to stay in family-run guesthouses, country hotels, or even renovated farmhouses. Feel immersed in Icelandic charm while always enjoying your own private and comfortable bedroom.

Bathroom facilities are shared with other guests, though some rooms have washbasins. Each morning, enjoy a hearty breakfast on-site, always included in the cost.
