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.

The accommodation was exactly what we were looking for. Location was great, we were looking for something remote and the size was perfect for a couple. The hosts were really lovely and even left us a gift to celebrate our engagement which happened half way through our trip. Can’t recommend enough!

The home and the location was wonderfull. Our 3 year old son is normally scared of dogs but he loved Mowi and Katla. He played every day with them. The dogs are so friendly to childeren and we enjoyed their company so much. Thank you Heima Holiday Homes for a great stay! I would recomment this place to everyone.

The guesthouse is exceptional... well organised, homely decor, super clean and well equipped. The rooms are very comfortable. Very professionally run and the surroundings are beautiful with horses and sheep on the premises. The host was great! We highly recommend Lindartun Guesthouse. One of our favourites in Iceland!

I cannot express enough how much I enjoyed staying here. It is a must go if you are doing the ring road in Iceland. You will be able to have a goat tour with the owner and learn more about the icelandic goat. The room is very cozy and contains a small kitchen. Good enough to prepare a quick meal and rest.
