What guests think
At Lamb Inn Öngulsstaðir, travellers praise the peaceful farm setting, friendly hosts, hearty breakfasts and flexible self-check-in, while noting simple, older rooms and occasional small bathrooms alongside a generally low-frills, family-run feel.
Many guests enjoy the lamb-focused dinners, though a few encountered closures, small portions, or high prices. The outdoor hot tub and sweeping views stand out, but some stays found the tub empty and maintenance issues like weak hot water or slow drains. Overall, expect straightforward amenities and rustic character suited to a simple, no-frills stay.

Located on a sheep farm close to Akureyri. Small but comfortable room. Great hot tub looking out over the valley and mountains. Excellent restaurant.

Excellent stay! The property is located in the most beautiful area and the hot tub had a gorgeous view. Our host was kind enough to offer a tour of the property & introduce us to the sheep & their sweet lambs. The breakfast was yummy too. Definitely would recommend!

There was no staff at this Inn to assist you. You had to do self check-in Our toilet did not work so we had to telephone to get a room change. There was no water in the hot tub. The shower curtain had mold on it. Though they advertised a restaurant, the restaurant was closed. Property is very 'tired'. This is a terrible lodging.

Das Landhaus liegt in einer sehr ruhigen, reizvollen Gegend. Der Chef des Hauses it’s sehr besorgt um jeden einzelnen Gast. Zum Frühstück gibt es Schinken und geräucherten Lammschinken direkt aus der Region, frisch und nicht von irgendwoher importiert. Draußen gibt es einen Whirlpool, von dem aus man in die schöne Landschaft schauen kann. Die Zimmer Sid groß.

Place was ok. Wasn’t anyone around when we got there, except after a few minutes I noticed a paper with my name and a key on the table, so I guess that was ok. Room was small, but satisfactory. No TVs in the rooms. There is an outdoor hot pool but sadly was empty when we were there. Morning breakfast was fine.

It is a quiet & quaint inn. The room we stay is bigger than hotels/ hostels. Beddings are in good condition ( firm mattress & good quality duvet ). Huge parking space. There is a barn beside the inn. Breakfast is good. The nearest restaurant is in town which is 10 min drive. Grocery store is about 20 min drive. A place to rest & sleep ( no entertainment like tv )

Upon our arrival to check-in, I learned that I had reserved a room in error for the following night. Luckily, Luna was very accommodating and able to arrange for us to stay in the last room available. The room was clean and spacious with beds that were comfortable. The breakfast, which was included, was delicious. My family and I were very appreciative of the staff's flexibility and would highly recommend staying here.

Quiet, beautiful location, 8 km from Akureyri. We had a room at the back of the building, with a beautiful view across the valley. We ate here in the evening, and were very impressed - lamb is not just in the name, but a speciality of the kitchen. Only criticism is that in some ways the room looked a bit tired and in need of updating, but it was certainly clean.

I would not book this property again. I think a 4-star rating is totally incorrect. The view of the landscape around Akureyri and distance to the town akureyri are positives but there is not much else going for it. Rooms are small - like American college dorm rooms - and bathrooms are tiny and not all that clean. Property is old, the sheep are smelly, breakfast was significantly below average. Once I have issue with this property being passed off as 4-star. That is just false.

My partner and I booked a room here last week as a last minute booking and we were beyond thrilled with the room, the service, and the breakfast! The rooms were simple, but very clean and had everything we needed! The breakfast was also simple, but wonderful and traditional. Arthur was an EXCELLENT host! Very kind, very responsive, and he introduced us to the lambs/sheep around the property. He also helped us out with a few loads of laundry after camping for two weeks. I would 10/10 recommend a stay!

I wonder how this hotel is shown as 4 star by Expedia and Google. The room given to us ( No.13) is very small with a tiny Bathroom, it was difficult to move around freely and the hot water stinks. One can easily hit the wooden bar placed above the sink. Breakfast is very poor with limited options like bread, fruits and cereals. Would not recommend this place.

It's a quaint and very old building, configured to be a hotel. It is 10 kms outside of Akureyri, so don't get fooled by the address. The restaurant was very tasty food (lamb of course) but for the price, very small portions. The staff are friendly and accommodating however, no front desk staff...kinda self serve when you arrive. After a long drive, a place to rest your head but no modern upgrades or mod-cons.

Located on a sheep farm close to Akureyri. Small but comfortable room. Great hot tub looking out over the valley and mountains. Excellent restaurant.

Quiet, beautiful location, 8 km from Akureyri. We had a room at the back of the building, with a beautiful view across the valley. We ate here in the evening, and were very impressed - lamb is not just in the name, but a speciality of the kitchen. Only criticism is that in some ways the room looked a bit tired and in need of updating, but it was certainly clean.

This was a clean and comfortable B&B for the price. Not far out of town in a nice rural environment. Breakfast was simple but good continental.

It was a beautiful quiet location. We wish we would have had dinner here but we were here 10 minutes before cut off.

I read the mixed reviews and had apprehensions but turned out fine! Easy to find, great view down the valley to town and efficient check in - name and room number left at front desk, collect your key and done Same to check out Decent sized room and shower, the included buffet breakfast was great and a bonus in this expensive country. I can’t complain about any aspect of my stay here

Nearness to town staff was absolutely wonderful. Room was fine but Bathroom was very very small. Very peaceful and quiet. Nice area. No TV place needed some upgrading.

El personal muy poco amable, llegamos a las 21h y el restaurante cerraba a las 21:30h preguntamos si nos podían preparar algo y nos dijeron que la cocina estaba cerrada. Teniendo en cuenta que no hay cocina y está en medio de la nada deberían ser más considerados. No pudimos cenar nada. El alojamiento es acogedor y está bien cuidado . El desayuno muy justo

Our favorite stay on our 10 day ring road trip by far. The lamb dinner dish was the best meal I’ve had in Iceland. And I ate A LOT yummy dishes on this trip.

There was no staff at this Inn to assist you. You had to do self check-in Our toilet did not work so we had to telephone to get a room change. There was no water in the hot tub. The shower curtain had mold on it. Though they advertised a restaurant, the restaurant was closed. Property is very 'tired'. This is a terrible lodging.

It's a quaint and very old building, configured to be a hotel. It is 10 kms outside of Akureyri, so don't get fooled by the address. The restaurant was very tasty food (lamb of course) but for the price, very small portions. The staff are friendly and accommodating however, no front desk staff...kinda self serve when you arrive. After a long drive, a place to rest your head but no modern upgrades or mod-cons.

What a wonderful stay! We stayed in a quadruple room and it had everything we needed. We stayed for dinner and it was excellent. In the morning, we had an excellent breakfast. Everything was delicious.
