Overall Ratings & Reviews Torfhús Retreat

Remarkable, outstanding and overall a special experience. The service was nothing short of perfection, food was absolutely delicious and the accommodations were cozy and comfortable. I would highly recommend!

Excellent food, friendly, love the hot spring spa

Lovely location. Wonderful main area and kitchen. Food was great! Hotel rooms (turf houses) are teeny - 1 bedroom house had nowhere to put luggage nor any cabinets to unpack. Bathroom had no place for toiletries. Minimal personal items such as no conditioner, no robes, no slippers. The advertised private thermal pools are actually shared with two other units. Since so little needed to be done to upgrade comfort, this could have been a 5-star experience, but didn’t quite feel that way.

An incredible place to stay in Iceland! The team there made us feel welcome and couldn’t do enough to help. Highly recommended

Staff was outstanding

Food was amazing as well as the staff. Cottages were very neat

If you are in Iceland, I highly recommend staying here. The people, the food, the accommodations and the view are simply amazing.

Incredible retreat!

This is a very comfortable and unusual place to stay: a modern version of an old turf house. Very quiet and peaceful place; excellent dinner available. My wife and I enjoyed it very much.

Fantastic. Wonderful staff who couldn’t do enough to make our stay a memorable one.

This property is absolutely amazing. We stayed in a 2-bedroom cottage, which included a full kitchen and a private geothermal hot tub. Staff was superb. Breakfast, which is included, was excellent. Dinner, at an additional cost, was fantastic and some of the best meals we have ever had on vacation. I can not say enough good things about this property. Be advised that the nearest grocery store is around 20 minutes and closest town is 30-40 min. We found this property to be the perfect place to base our southern coast exploration. If you are looking for a place in this region, I highly recommend Torfhus Retreat. We will definitely be back to this special property.

Go here, eat here, do the wine pairing. It’s fantastic.

Everything was excellent! Cabin, staff and the evening meal

We've enjoyed some of the best resorts all over North America, Europe and Asia and this place ranks at the top. Magical.

Amazing accommodations, service and food. I've been to Iceland 6 times and this rates as the best 5 star hotel out of the dozen or so I've stayed at in total.

Torfus Retreat is an unique luxury experience and a must stay during a trip to Iceland. The owners and entire staff are passionate about making your stay the absolute best. From the dining hall to the basalt soaking pools, the attention to detail throughout the property is fantastic. Jóhannes, the Retreat Manager, even helped us secure our Covid tests prior to leaving the country. Don't miss out on the dinner. We had the tasting menu - full of surprises, even for a vegetarian. So delicious. If you are looking for a centrally located accommodation in the Golden Circle, look no further. You are home!

Una gran propiedad, el lugar es magico
