Portions at restaurant a bit small. Facilities are a bit limited (they could have a sauna for instance).

Beautiful location. Rustic feel. Good restaurant. Lovely lounge upstairs. Kind staff.

We loved the hot tubs, but maybe someone could net them out in the morning?

Everything. We enjoyed drinks at the bar and chatting with the bartender. We loved the breakfast. The lobby was beautiful.

My wife thought sauna could be a nice addition.

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.

Just need to lower the transition piece between the bedrooms and the bathroom bc it’s a tripping hazard.

Cozy rustic ambience with upscale dining and serene surroundings. Loved the hot tubs that are natural spring water and the wonderful included breakfast. Very convenient location near tour options.

Bed mattress could use an upgrade

Clean and comfortable stay, quiet room with large bed and nice shower. Enjoyed the hot tubs and the happy hour, nice hearty breakfast

Some of the staff were very lovely and welcoming but some were very cold and not that welcoming. Reception treat you like you are checking into a holiday inn rather than a Small Luxury Hotel. Considering the price I think a more welcoming checkin would be received much better.

This property’s location is amazing, right in the golden circle and perfect to visit all the major sites. The hot tubs outside are a special touch and the food was great (definitely recommend the salmon). Pool table and games room was fun. Unfortunately the observatory wasn’t open as were there during a snow storm.
