The months with a rate all cost the same: around 195 € a night. Months with no bar have no rate loaded yet: the hotel may not have opened sales for those dates.
Months marked «·» don't have a rate loaded yet: the property opens its calendar in stages. It doesn't mean it's closed. If you're looking at those dates, check anyway: rates appear as soon as the property publishes them.
June and July are the Icelandic summer: almost 21 hours of daylight and the best time to head up to Reykjadalur. From November to March the days are short, it snows and it's northern lights season; the Hellisheiði mountain pass, between Reykjavík and Hveragerði, can close in storms, so it's worth checking the road conditions.
All with the same booking.
The most comfortable way to explore the Golden Circle and the south coast from Hveragerði.
