Our holiday was incredibly enjoyable, especially thanks to our stay in this lovely and quaint guesthouse the beds were so soft and comfortable, and the breakfast that was delicious The horse ride was fun and interesting and Frida was very kind and hospitable and, if we’ll ever go back to Hella, we’ll definitely know where to stay!

The restaurant has been closed for good, so we couldn’t dine there but had to go to another location

The room is very simple, but decent size, especially in comparison to some other guesthouse accommodation in the area. The all-natural hot tub is a big plus, the view from the breakfast room is amazing. Good location if you'd like to explore Landmannalaugar and/or the Golden circle. The scenery around is very beautiful, with plenty of opportunity for taking a walk, but bear in mind that the closest gas station is 30 km away, and the closest restaurant is about 10-min drive. They also have a horse farm and offer horse riding sessions. I went horse riding, and it was truly one of the highlights of my trip! My instructor, Sofie, was amazing, very friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. After the ride, she gave me time to cuddle with my horse and feed her some treats, and also showed other horses in the stable and shared interesting info about Icelandic horses.

Breakfast was not too bad, but it would be great to have some hot food options, like scrambled eggs/oatmeal.

The place is very quiet and peaceful, such an expected, with a wonderful view all around. It is a poetic and bucolic venue in front of the volcano. The room is very cosy and comfy, super clean as well and warm. But, the most important is the team on site ! They are lovely people, welcoming, helpful and kind. Fun fact (well, not that fun but still, it will be a good memory) : I had a puncture on my way out and my host and his girlfriend were very nice to me. He fixed it efficiently with a wild (but super clever) workshop in the middle of nowhere. And he saved the day ! I am forever grateful ;-)

Nothing

Remote location. Scenic. Clean. Comfortable. Relaxing. Easy check-in. We loved it. Perfect for the northern lights tho we didn't experience it. Breakfast included inside a unique building along with mountain views. Breakfast and coffee superb. A kettle used for our 2 minute noodle dinner - no kitchen. Highly recommend.

It isn't a 'didn't like' more a wish if they had we'd use it - somewhere to wash and hang small amount of clothing (travelling light).

We liked everything- comfortable beds, very clean, beautiful location, good breakfast (hotel was full so good options), nice size room (bathroom is small), good value for Iceland

Not an issue for us - more of guesthouse than hotel, with reasonable expectations a very good experience

Hôtel Leirubakki was along such a beautiful drive from the highlands. We arrived at sunset (23:30) and self checkin was very easy. Our host Orri was extremely accommodating and responded right away! As soon as we arrived, instead of heading to bed after a long day of hiking, we explored the gorgeous grounds. We walked past gentle horses in the pasture, and discovered a “hidden” hot spring down a little path! The room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable and we really appreciated the private bathroom in our room. There was also a hot tub right outside on the deck, and a cottage-like gathering space upstairs. Very cozy. This place felt like a little piece of magic. The following morning we ate breakfast from a lovely spread that was provided. Not to mention the view out of the window in the breakfast space. There were other guests, but it felt low trafficked and not crowded. It felt as if we were staying with family on their farm. Other guests got a private guide who spoke German for them who worked at Leirubakki. So cool! I would definitely make this a stop again if I get the opportunity to return to Iceland. Thank you to Orri and the Leirubakki staff! This was our favorite guesthouse/hotel in Iceland 💖

The only thing I would critique is that the wifi only worked in the central space, but honestly that could be a preference to enjoy your time.

Secluded and quiet place, friendly staff, tasty and fresh breakfast, hot tub, spacious rooms, very clean, windows shutters, coffee machine available in the common area.

The WiFi signal in the room at the end of the corridor was not great.

We loved that it was away from the crowds, but close to many great spots. The owners were lovely and welcoming. Our room was quiet and comfortable and we woke up each day with a horse outside our window. We also loved that breakfast was included.

Quiet rural location. Small hotel. Great breakfast in restaurant with lovely views.

We knew beforehand that there wasn't any evening restaurant service, however in such a remote location it would have been helpful.

It was a cozy place with horses all around. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We are arrived pretty late and they placed the keys for us to get after reception closed with a nice letter to explain everything. Good breakfast.
