We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and varied; the grandma's pancakes are a must-try! We were also lucky enough to witness the Northern Lights during our visit, which was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this hotel – you won't be disappointed!

    Hotel Ranga is truly a one-of-a-kind place. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed — the owner personally greeted guests, there were welcome drinks, handwritten greeting cards, and even a direct phone line in the room to listen to Icelandic poetry! The hotel’s cozy, characterful design is full of thoughtful details that create a warm and memorable atmosphere. The staff were exceptional — always polite, helpful, and attentive, including the housekeeping team. Our bed was incredibly comfortable, with a variety of pillow types to choose from, and we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary room upgrade. Having a private entrance directly to the outside turned out to be a very practical feature during our stay. The location was exactly what we hoped for: remote, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful open landscapes — yet still well-placed for day trips, being about an hour from both Vík and iconic spots like Geysir, the volcanic crater, and one of Iceland’s major waterfalls. A quiet river runs near the property, and we often spotted swans drifting nearby — a lovely bonus. Breakfast deserves a special mention. The selection was impressive, but more importantly, every item was of excellent quality and clearly chosen with care. It’s rare to find a place where so much thought is put into every detail — from design to service to dining. We would absolutely return and can wholeheartedly recommend Ranga to anyone seeking a peaceful, atmospheric stay with outstanding service.

    I have booked Eldhestar for the second year in a row now and like lat year, everything was perfect. Maybe even better. The staff was really helpful, they also printed the boarding passes for my return flight. I also booked a dinner with them and the food was really good. It is a perfect place if you are seeking for Aurora. It is best to drive 30 minutes away in more remote area if you are willing to have more professional photos. There are some lights in a northern part of the hotel, but nothing too bright. Every cell phone captured the northern lights. The rooms are quite spacious. If my wallet will allow me, I will be returning again this year.

Excellent location on the golden circle close to the geysirs. Wide variety of breakfast options. Can’t fault this property and can’t wait to stay again in the future!

    Having to 'get around Ring Road' definitely has its drawbacks. The biggest one we found was when you found a great place, your time there was limited. We did stop for the Lava Show in Vik, which was great, and we had dinner there as well. There was not enough time to really see everything before having to move on.

    Iceland is a very expensive place to travel and this guest house was average price for Iceland but the quality of the rooms were low average. Our room had such a bad slope on it we had to sleep at the other end of the bed with our heads above our feet. The bathroom had a toilet in the middle of the room, you had to walk around it to get to the shower and even though the room came with breakfast included it was very poor quality.

    Great place in south of Iceland. The town of "flowers" is a good name for this place, as it is the warmest place in Iceland, where they grow flowers and enjoy life. It has the best swimming pool of the whole country, with an amazing "steam room" that is heated with steam straight from the vulcanic core of our planet.
