10/10 Exceptional

Great views from this property. Very clean and nice breakfast buffet.
Angela, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the quaintness of this property: quiet, lovely cafe for dinner, and the views!! The lounge area was where we spent most of our time reading and looking out the window. The views are absolutely beautiful, you can see the glacier and the cutest family of sheep were just chilling on the front lawn of the property and behind the cafe. It was such a relaxing stay.
Kelly Ann, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful stay! Room was spacious, clean, and updated. Breakfast was included and served in a separate building. It was delicious. We were so impressed !

Friendly staff and great food.
Yunling, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great communication from management by email. Able to access luggage storage for early arrivals. Room is small and there are not toiletries supplied. There is a shared kitchen so there is access to a fridge, etc. Easy walk to Reykjavík city center and to the harbor. Grocery store next door. Safe and walkable area.

A comfortable overnight stay.

The accommodations are definitely basic, but we were impressed with how clean and neat everything was. The staff was very kind and friendly. The breakfast was lovely, more than we expected from such a small place. The views from the property are just beautiful!

Fantastic spot. First time in Southeastern Iceland, and I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. My eleven-year-old was more than impressed that the TV had Crunchyroll installed!

Absolutely beautiful location. We saw the northern lights right out our window with mountains and the glacier as the backdrop. Room was comfortable.

It was a great place to stay! Only call-out is that it’s a little far from Hofn! But still a great guesthouse!
Rebecca, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay overall. We had an amazing Mountain View and even saw baby sheep! The breakfast buffet is super good! Short drive to Höfn for gas, groceries and dinner!

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place with clean rooms. We arrived in the evening in rain and fog, then in the morning were amazed by the view of the Glacier across the road!

Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Bedside table lights were way too bright.

We reserved an hour before and everything was ready :). Breakfast was included and tasty :)

10/10 Exceptional

Easy and pleasant checkin at Lilja Guesthouse. The room was sparsely furnished in the Scandinavian way, but was very clean with fresh linens and comfortable beds. Breakfast was excellent and all staff were helpful and spoke English!
tina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Even tho the location is right off the highway I find it secluded enough to have the darkness needed to observe the sky in hopes of northern lights. Late at night barely any cars pass by so is quiet and serene. During the day we enjoyed the beautiful views pf the glaciar and during breakfast the tranquil environment was great too. Room was super spacious, bathroom too but the extractor didnt

The rooms annex is beautiful, modern. The check in area and restaurant are clearly the original property. The setting is lovely, with a Mountain View. Our room was facing the parking area and some old equipment so not much to look at. There were 2 adorable sheep hanging around that were very friendly and excitable. We enjoyed the included breakfast buffet, which also had 3 to-order options. Excellent location if driving Ring Road or visiting Hofn.

10/10 Exceptional

Had an excellent stay here! First thing I want to highlight is that I made the mistake of making two separate bookings instead of one booking for two nights. I was so worried because it left a 4 hour gap between check in/out times and was a huge concern because due to weather our snowmobiling was cancelled and we had nowhere else to go. However the staff was so kind, specifically Michael at the front desk, and were so helpful and I wish I could give more than five stars. Aside from my booking mistake, the food was incredible from the free breakfast to the on site restaurant (highly recommend the chocolate cake), the room was clean and cozy, the property was a great location/easy to find, free parking right in front, and would highly recommend to any tourist passing through!
Camila, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean, nice property with comfy beds. Downsides were that the walls were way too thin. We could hear the people in the next room talking, snoring and their phone buzzing. The TV didn't work, which we hadn't been advised of. The towels were super thin and felt like cardboard. The restaurant food was just ok - we debated eating in Vic and regretted not doing so. For the price, this place was overpriced for what we got.

Ficamos na parte antiga do Hotel, que não tem a mesma comodidade da parte nova. O quarto deixou um pouco a desejar. O atendimento e café da manhã foram bons. A minha sugestão seria para deixar claro na reserva que existem duas partes do Hotel, com experiências totalmente diferentes, uma antiga com menos conforto, e uma nova com quartos bem confortáveis e com comodidade.
Celso Luiz, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I was very frustrated with the leaking floor in the bathroom that had water squirting up from the seams between the floor tiles. Also, a huge irritant was the motion sensor light in the bathroom. It went on and off at will - not turning on when entering the room frequently and then turning off while in the room. This was a real issue when using the toilet or taking a shower. It turned on when no one was in the room.
