The Garage
- Location: Rangárþing eystra
- Review: My husband, daughter (20), and I stayed at The Garage for 2 nights (April 30-May 2). This is one of my favorite places we have ever stayed! If you plan to stay overnight in south Iceland do not miss this gem. The location is close to all the sights and activities, but the Garage is so comfortable and charming you might not want to leave the property! Cool decor and design, large and comfortable room, great amenities, and a wonderful family that owns/operates the Garage makes this a unique spot...., by Stephanie, May 9, 2019, rated 10/10 Excellent

Seljalandsfoss Horizons
- Location: Rangárþing eystra
- Review: I am between providing a 4 star or 5 star review, but will tip it up to 5. It’s probably like a 4.25. Overall was one of our favorite stays in Iceland. The cottages are so unique, it was really fun to stay here and I’m so glad we did! I would totally recommend to anyone staying in the area. A few notes: 1. The cottage fits 2 adults comfortably. 4 adults would be a very tight squeeze and wouldn’t be a comfortable stay. There is very little storage space to stow bags for 4 adults, and the..., by Sean, October 20, 2022, rated 10/10 Excellent

Sleeping with the Horses
- Location: Rangárþing eystra
- Review: We loved our stay BUT the marketing photos and name of the hotel are very deceptive. You DO NOT get the horses coming to your cabin, there is a fence (electric) at least 20ft or more away from the cabins and the horses don’t come near you, you can see them afar from your cabin only. You can see Icelandic horses alllll over Iceland so this isn’t really a special experience. The cabins are wonderful and so is the overall location but you will be disappointed if you are going to want to do what..., by Sahr, October 25, 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent

- Review: This is one of those hotels that you will want to stay forever. The location is unique, where you will have not matter which room an amazing view. I think the mountains views are the best!

You need to remember that this hotel is not near any big city, so if you want quietness and no city lights at night, this is your place. They have a restaurant but we didn’t eat there because..., by Napolitano, December 6, 2019, rated 10/10 Excellent

The hotel is in the heart of town and walkable to many of the shops, bars, breweries, and restaurants and great hike spots.

Hotel Selja
- Location: Rangárþing eystra
- Review: Hotel Selja is in the perfect location to see and do so many things in Iceland! The rooms are very comfortable, clean and well designed. Lots of outlets, great waterfall shower which was very spacious, good wi-fi, very comfortable beds, black-out curtains to block out the midnight sun, and very beautiful surroundings. The views are amazing with waterfalls, glaciers, and lupines in full bloom, and the location is so quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was amazing and they offer a nice dinner menu..., by Lisa, May 31, 2019, rated 10/10 Excellent
