We stayed one night at the guesthouse, after a day around the Golden Circle. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable and it was so lovely to use the hot tub and sauna after our long day of sightseeing. The staff were very helpful and I would recommend staying at this guesthouse.

The staff was exemplary - super helpful in planning our daily routes, provided an adapter when mine didn’t work, provided excellent complimentary breakfast. The location was superb. Beds were heavenly and rooms were just right. Parking was a breeze and the staff offered to help us get our bags into our car when we left. Great value! I would return in a heartbeat.

The hosts were very attentive. The guesthouse was very clean. Room was slightly small but not much different than others in iceland...

Breakfast was excellent considering it is homestyle.

Only minus is that the hot tub does not have jets and wasnt that warm. It also faced the highway. Sauna was great!

The hosts have sheep, horses and chickens but you can only see the chickens in the summer because the others are out in the fields grazing.

I would return here and recommend this place.

My spouse and I stayed here in early October on a road trip around the South Coast. I'm late with the review but wanted to make sure that I wrote one since we very much enjoyed our stay at Lambastadir Guesthouse!

The room was spacious (compared to some of our other accommodations in Iceland in the same price range) and was clean and comfortable. The beds were especially comfortable. The staff was welcoming, friendly and helpful.

The quiet, rural location made for a restful stay and we experienced a great Northern Lights display on the night that we stayed! We made use of the hot tub on site and it was lovely at sunrise.

We enjoyed dinner out at Krisp in nearby Selfoss. The town is also a convenient location to stock up on essentials if you're travelling (food, gas, etc.).

We would definitely recommend Lambastadir and hope that one day we have the good fortune to return.

Loved the breakfast with a waffle maker. Excellent staff. Great option for use of hot tub and sauna.
My only complaint would be to be given an extra set of towels and facecloths. Only one towel each to shower and one hand towel but no face cloths which I found a bit odd. But I’m sure we would be given an extra towel if we had asked.

Fantastic place to stay for our first night in Iceland. We arrived quite early and we were not expecting to check in, but the host had a room ready for us within minutes! Very friendly staff and super accommodating. The breakfast was delicious and plenty of food to chose from. I highly recommend this guesthouse. The rooms were very clean, spacious and the bed was nice and comfortable. We came back for a second night from the highlands and made good use of the hot tub and sauna which felt like heaven after multiple day hikes.

Best spot in Iceland.

This was the absolute best place we stayed during our entire trip. The guesthouse was sparkling clean and so cozy and lovely. We arrived late and soaked to the bone after a rainy hike and the wonderful owners let us dry our gear in their heated barn overnight so that by the time morning came we were ready for another Icelandic adventure. The hot tub was so nice after a long day and the breakfast was delicious and had a great variety. I cannot recommend enough!

It was a great experience. And the breakfast they put out that is included..... OMG!!! What a wonderful spread. We didn't lack for anything. This place is a real under-the-radar find.

The farm setting and open invitation to see the animals wass great. Easy access location...quiet yet not too far off the beaten path. Clean, and well-kept with a great breakfast. On the downside, beds were too hard for me, so a restless night's sleep...and 1 tiny trash can is too little for travelers! Need at least 1 larger, communal receptacle or additional one in each room! Good value for the price.
