For three generations, the farm has been run by the same family as Disa, who took part in the TV show Echappées belles.

Smáratún Farm is located in the agricultural area of Fljótshlíð, near road no. 261, 10 minutes from the village of Hvolsvöllur and road no. 1. For three generations now, the farm and hotel have been run by the same family, represented today by Disa, as you may have already discovered in the program Échappées belles. The farm covers no less than 300 hectares. Potatoes, rhubarb and green vegetables are grown on site, but the main focus here is on cattle and sheep rearing, with animal welfare as a central concern. In fact, here the cattle live in freedom. On the hospitality front, Hotel Fljótshlíð on the Smáratún farm offers a range of accommodation to suit all budgets and tastes, from camping to comfortable cottages for up to 6 people, guest rooms in small huts and 14 classic hotel rooms of good standing. On site, the Barn restaurant proudly serves Nordic dishes based on farm-to-table produce. Open to all for breakfast and dinner, it is one of the few restaurants in the country to have been awarded the Nordic Swan eco-label. Rewarded for their efforts to become an almost zero-waste and ever more responsible hotel, the hotel proudly displays its Ecological label, highlighting its waste management and recycling, use of natural cleaning products and wastewater control and sanitation, use of resistant and noble materials, protection of local flora and fauna, and choice of locally sourced products and goods. As part of its commitment to environmentally-friendly tourism, the hotel offers guests the chance to plant trees (nearly 4,000 have already been planted!), and provides travelers with electric cars with a charger to ensure they can continue their trip around the island in complete peace of mind.

Finally, to make the most of this magical natural setting, Disa and the staff are delighted to offer a whole range of daytime activities to give you a real experience of the farm and local life: various hikes, birdwatching, horseback riding, lamb watching, horse care, fishing on Lake Smáratún... there's something for everyone. An unforgettable stay!

Personal war sehr freundlich! In den Cottages (fuer 4 Personen) gab es nur 2 Heferl - den Rest mussten wir vom Guesthouse holen & es war sehr eng zu dritt. Da wir das vorher nicht wussten gibts fuer die Ausstattung etwas Abzug bei den Zimmern. Aber sonst wirklich sehr schoen :)

Totally disappointing !

We stayed here one night. Wokeup the next morning to find we had a flat tyre. We spoke to the manager about this and thought maybe she could help or arrange assistance for us since the hotel is far out in the nowhere. She advised us to go to the gas station (13 kms away) and ask them for help there.... how exactly are we supposed to get there with a flat tyre ? So basically, they don't care. They got your money. That's what is most important to them ;)

In all fairness, she brought us free snacks and water while we waited 4 hours in the lobby for help to arrive.

They are friendly for sure. Friendly but not really helpful unfortunately.

The dinner was terribly over priced. I ordered a lamb ragu. It was COLD and bland with a strange, watery consistency. My husband's and son's food was fresh and hot though. Breakfast was ok - The usual spread. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Our room was filthy. Stains on the bedding, floor had not been vacuumed or mopped. There were hair strands on the sink (presumably from the previous guest). All the furniture is ancient

Leuke chalets om te overnachten.
Klein maar voldoet aan alles.

Wir waren für eine Nacht auf dem dazugehörigen Campingplatz. Nach fast 3 Wochen Islandrundreise, war dies einer der besten Plätze. Diane war super freundlich und hat uns alles gezeigt. Große, voll ausgestattete Küche. Definitiv zu empfehlen!
