What guests think
Across reviews, Lilja Guesthouse is praised for its beautiful glacier views and convenient Ring Road location, generally clean rooms, and friendly staff, though experiences differ notably between the modern annex and the older building.
Many guests highlight the scenic, quiet setting that’s ideal for aurora spotting, but note it feels remote and dining in town can require a 20-30 minute drive. Newer rooms are spacious and modern with big windows and views, while older rooms feel basic or dated; some report thin walls, occasional maintenance quirks, and spotty Wi-Fi. Breakfast is widely praised, and the on-site restaurant earns frequent compliments, though a few found the menu limited or dishes average. Overall, expect a clean countryside stopover with standout vistas and better experiences in the newer wing.

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.

The room was simple and clean with everything we needed. The towels are small but absorbent and the water pressure was great. Parking was a plentiful and mostly affected by the rain/mud. The room was very warm with no thermostat, we could have opened the room but didn’t want to deal with the rain. We paid extra for the breakfast which was tasty. Easy check-in and check-out process! It looked a little ominous at night with the rain but felt safe just the same.

I spent 4 nights and did a lot of sightseeing. It’s very convenient to Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach, Höfn Harbor, Ring Road, etc. It was overcast during my stay but I did manage to see some Aurora action. Very faint but that wasn’t a minus. Weather happens! I spent a day at Ósland, which is a manmade land bridge along Höfn Harbor. What a great place for bird watching! The room was spacious and included a desk and a full shower. There was a hair dryer in the room. The Breakfast was outstanding. They also have an on-site Restaurant, which served excellent area cuisine. I had dinner there twice: the Meat Soup and the Lobster Sandwich. Excellent! The Staff was very personable and very friendly. I felt very spoiled staying at Lilja. Great place!

Hôtel sympa calme avec une belle vue sur la montagne. Restaurant sur place très bon pour ce qui est du poisson. Dommage qu'à 21h au moment de choisir le dessert il nous dise que la cuisine est fermé, il aurait du nous dire en amont voulez vous un dessert la cuisine va fermer. Bref on a trouver une solution mais prévoyez de commander avant 21h. Parking pratique. Gel hydroalcoolique, café et thé à disposition dans le hall c'est sympa. Petit déjeuner très bon et varié

We were accommodated in the old but not the new part of the guesthouse. Not a problem as such but worth mentioning since our room did not correspond with the pictures. The room itself was decent but rudimentary. Some pieces of furniture were in a fairly used state. There were scratches and stains on the walls. The bathroom was cleaned to an acceptable degree but probably not to the extent which we would expect. Other than that, the guesthouse is good for its purpose and location. We stayed one night and left in the morning. Overall, for a one night stay we considered this guesthouse okay.

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.

Be careful when booking this. They have 2 buildings but show images of both properties when booking, so you think you are booking in the newer building. One building is extremely poor quality and old. Room smell was incredibly bad. Staff is unprofessional. I would recommend you stay away from this property. I would compare to a $30 motel.

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.

Pros: easy access from #1, clean rooms, lots of electrical outlets in the room, comfortable bed, includes breakfast. Cons: noisy with thin walls, can hear people dragging furniture, no light switch to bathroom and sensor kept triggering it in and off thru the night, broken door jamb where you had to lock it with difficulty to at least ensure it’s closed, large bay window in bedroom offers zero privacy, curtains do not span the entire window, leaving gaps, if you’re unlucky enough to face the parking lot, you’ll have bright lights on all night, internet is slow and spotty, kicks you out frequently. We didnt find the restaurant food to be good at all - had lamb soup (pieces too big and chewy or gristle-y), lagostine soup (fine) and chicken Caesar salad (disgusting- weirdly spiced chicken, brown lettuce, bottled sauce, boxed croutons). Breakfast was continental with a few pastries, meats, cheeses, breads (just ok). Very pricey, even for this country, for what you get. Tip: get a room in the 2nd building and face the road! Don’t spend more than 1 night.

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!

Conveniently off Route 1 with sweeping glacier and mountain views, and popular for Northern Lights. It feels remote, so reaching restaurants or towns like Höfn typically requires a drive.

This place is a hidden treasure! We booked because we were looking for an affordable place not far from the glacier lagoon. Price was great, and we had a truly breathtaking view of a glacier from our room and lots of cute sheep in the fields nearby. One of the most beautiful places we stayed in Iceland. Buffet style breakfast was included (with more stunning views from the restaurant area). They have a restaurant and bar on site but we went into Höfn for dinner, about 20 minutes away by car, and hotel staff provided us with excellent recommendations.

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!

I spent 4 nights and did a lot of sightseeing. It’s very convenient to Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach, Höfn Harbor, Ring Road, etc. It was overcast during my stay but I did manage to see some Aurora action. Very faint but that wasn’t a minus. Weather happens! I spent a day at Ósland, which is a manmade land bridge along Höfn Harbor. What a great place for bird watching! The room was spacious and included a desk and a full shower. There was a hair dryer in the room. The Breakfast was outstanding. They also have an on-site Restaurant, which served excellent area cuisine. I had dinner there twice: the Meat Soup and the Lobster Sandwich. Excellent! The Staff was very personable and very friendly. I felt very spoiled staying at Lilja. Great place!

Pros: easy access from #1, clean rooms, lots of electrical outlets in the room, comfortable bed, includes breakfast. Cons: noisy with thin walls, can hear people dragging furniture, no light switch to bathroom and sensor kept triggering it in and off thru the night, broken door jamb where you had to lock it with difficulty to at least ensure it’s closed, large bay window in bedroom offers zero privacy, curtains do not span the entire window, leaving gaps, if you’re unlucky enough to face the parking lot, you’ll have bright lights on all night, internet is slow and spotty, kicks you out frequently. We didnt find the restaurant food to be good at all - had lamb soup (pieces too big and chewy or gristle-y), lagostine soup (fine) and chicken Caesar salad (disgusting- weirdly spiced chicken, brown lettuce, bottled sauce, boxed croutons). Breakfast was continental with a few pastries, meats, cheeses, breads (just ok). Very pricey, even for this country, for what you get. Tip: get a room in the 2nd building and face the road! Don’t spend more than 1 night.

Lilja guesthouse is located off of ring road on southern Iceland closer to Hofn. Nice little guesthouse with multiple rooms and nice dining options. After long day of travelling my wife and I decided to have a dinner in their restaurant. We had pumpkin soup, my wife had veggie burger and I had a regular burger. It was delicious. Staff is courteous and very helpful. Highly recommend this place for anyone who is driving around ring road in Iceland.

The room was really comfortable and they were really accommodating. We had to leave really early in the morning and they were really nice about it and accommodating to our needs. They offered to make us breakfast to go, which was amazing. The food at their restaurant was really good and tasty. We really loved it here, and wish we could have stayed longer.
