Hello-
We are planning our trip for 3 couples in May. I am having trouble finding hotels to accommodate our group (Milk Factory was our preference but is booked). In Selfoss we are looking at Hotel Selfoss but they do not have a working website - I would prefer not to book through a third party (like booking.com, etc).
Any advice/tips would be great.
Thank you,
T
One reason you are having trouble is that most places in Iceland book out 9-12 months in advance, so you are really late to the game.
In Selfoss, we have had a great stay at Eldhestar.
FWIW, we use booking.com most of the time for our Iceland trips and so far have never had an issue. Many smaller places don't have their own booking platforms so only use booking.
Don't forget that outside of Reykjavik and Akureyri the towns are teeny and there isn't a lot of lodging. Much of it is out in the outskirts. So whether on booking or Googlemaps, put in a town, then scroll out to see what is available outside of town. Cottages are very popular and what we prefer, but there is a variety of options.
Thank You Mikliz97.
Appreciate the notes!

Agree with the first poster. We’ve been three times nd find that a lot of places don’t do their own booking. We’ve used booking.com many times with no problems.
My wife and I stayed at the Hofn Berjaya. Nice bay view location with a good breakfast offering. Convenient to Pakkhus Restuarant and the Hofn TI Center.
We also booked our entire 15 day trip through Booking.com.

Thank you all for your contributions - will check on the Hofn Berjaya.
