Overall Ratings & Reviews The Herring House

Amazing location with beautiful views and incredibly friendly hosts.

Lovely stay here on our travels! Great host! I highly recommend

Very nice owners, very clean, like just remodeled, kitchen area was nice with fridge. Very quiet, walking distance to downtown. Was worried about a shared bathroom, but wasn’t an issue, very large bathroom. Would definitely stay again. Walked to the bakery in the morning only 3 blocks nice bakery .

Herring House was amazing, Helga was so helpful, thoughtful and caring, stunning town as well ...would highly recommend this place

This is the best stay we had in Iceland during a 12-day trip: every thoughtful detail was considered in the private cabin we stayed in and the hosts were welcoming and wonderful. We never wanted to leave this retreat. The hot tub was filled just for us and the host brought us warm cheese and bread in the morning. Incredible view of the fjord, excellent local knowledge and tips provided (in a detailed notebook), would absolutely stay again in the cozy cabin retreat! Loved this place, highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time. The cabin was cozy, clean, and the owner was very friendly and helpful.

The host lady is very nice

Their private cottage is our favorite stay on our road trip across Iceland, even compared with the other four-star hotels we stayed at. In the summer, greens and a breathtaking view of the snow mountains surround the cottage. The room is clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. The hosts are very welcoming, too. The only pity is that we could not use the outdoor shower facility, as we happened to catch a cold on our trip. Still, we wish we had stayed at this place a bit longer!

Of the 4 places we stayed when we took our 11 day trip around the country, this was our favourite. The little cabin with the outdoor shower and hot tub was perfect. The owners - Helga and Dagur were perfect. The town was perfect. The epic beautiful falls on the edge of town were perfect. The hiking trails going up the mountain were perfect. The cute fat kitty we met when we were walking around the town was perfect. When we packed up to leave from the Herring House, my wife and I said to each other that we'd be back. Can't wait to spend more time in this beautiful town!

We loved our stay at Herring House. Cozy, comfortable, well appointed, lots of amenities and very gracious and helpful hosts. Our best stay in Iceland so far. Highly recommend!

Cute property in a quiet adorable town. The host was so friendly and accommodating! Loved this property!

Siglufjordur and the cabin at Herring House was by far our favourite stay on Ring Road! Helga and Dagur were so welcoming, offering great suggestions for hiking, restaurants and all the attractions of the area. They were always quick to respond and also offered up great tips for viewing the midnight sun and generously filled the hot tub for us each night. The cabin was beautifully designed, super cozy and had a private location hillside overlooking Siglufjordur. We really enjoyed morning coffees and the spectacular views from the front porch. Siglufjordur was on our list originally because of Ragnar Jónasson’s novels and the Netflix tv series Trapped, but besides that it is such a charming place. We hope to be back!

Beautiful setting with wonderful cabins and service. Highly recommended!!!!

This property feels like home. Helga was so warm and inviting! Next time we are in Iceland, we will keep The Herring House on places to stay!

Amazing place, super friendly hosts, very comfortable!!

The proprietor, Helga, was super-nice and helpful. She told us all about the history of the little town and what to expect on our drive around Iceland. The room was comfortable, with a truly spectacular view out the front window. But be aware: there are four bedrooms, and there's only ONE bathroom! We were fortunate to be the only couple there that night, but otherwise, contention for the bathroom would have been a hassle.

Absolute gem in Siglufjdordur! Helga was so helpful for our forward journey recommending bakeries, lunch stop, and route! Rooms were clean, shared bathroom large and clean, kichen area well stocked.

The attention to making the rooms comfortable and pretty is amazing. Hostess very friendly and helpful with info about what is in the area.

Very clean, a little tight. The outdoor shower was amazing. We had a good stay. Owners were very helpful.

The location was excellent. Close to the town Square. Helga was very nice and provided a town map and information on town events. Beds were very comfortable. Pretty location.
