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.

Featuring a hot tub, Hestheimar is located in Hella. The property features mountain and garden views, and is 47 km from Seljalandsfoss.

The location was perfect for Northern Light viewing (weather permitting and subject to you taking the time to wait and check the sky). Staff were very friendly and helpful. I would 100% recommend this lodge as a stop for anyone traveling in Iceland. This is a little gem.

Thoughtfully and tastefully fitted out. Not very big rooms but everything was planned exceptionally well. Additional kitchen, and dining areas are new, well-designed and added value.

We had a wonderful stay here. Cosy and comfortable, welcoming hosts and adorable goats! The peaceful location was perfect for us as we wanted to stop between Reykjavik and Vik. Lovely local waterfall.
