Guest Reviews
- Sergio (8/5): -
- Debbie (10/5): We would stay in this incredible location again any time and highly recommend it! - This property was so beautiful. We had our own house that fit 5 of us perfectly. The grounds were spectacular, with the river running nearby and the horses right behind us. This location even gave us our best sunset of our entire trip to Iceland!
- Inga (9/5): -
- Footgolfer player (9/5): -
- sebastien (9/5): - Fantastic location, friendly staff and great food Nothing
- Kathryn (8/5): Fun hotel for an evening! - The hotel is adorable! Clean & quiet rooms. Restaurant is very tasty and the on site dogs are a delight. The sauna and hot tub did not work as well as you'd hope.

- Marion (10/5): Dépaysement garantie - La cadre dans la nature immédiate
Le côté petite maison perdue dans la nature
Le personnel très gentil
- Tine (10/5): -
- Bruno (8/5): Confortável - Camas confortáveis e quarto com um bom espaço.
- Petros (8/5): -
- Eugenia (6/5): - The location is very remote and it does give you the sense of being in nature. Idelic scenery with a small river close and nice nature. I There was room for improvement in the details. For example our curtains were not closing fully and the outside night light was coming in.
- Elodie (8/5): -
- Caroline (10/5): - Havre de paix, petit paradis tenu en famille par des gens soucieux du bien etre de leurs hôtes. Vraiment un superbe expérience : la nourriture est fantastique
- Jill (7/5): -
- Nichola (10/5): - Breakfast was great. Hot tub was a nice bonus with great views. Quiet location not far from the ring road. Being able to eat our evening meal there was helpful and everyone enjoyed their food.
- Annina (10/5): -
- David (9/5): Small, family style accommodation - Helpful staff
Breakfast Bathroom
- Laura (9/5): -
- Lynda (9/5): Lovely small hotel in a peaceful location not far from the main ring road - Family run hotel that felt homely and not too crowded. Food is simple but tasty with a choice of mains at dinner. Location is in the middle of the countryside and peaceful - but still only around 10mins from main ring road. Rooms comfortable and staff very friendly. We loved the sauna, hot tub and of course the cold plunge barrel!
- Marc (10/5): -
- Yanhe (10/5): -
- Uster (10/5): - Friendly staff!
- Antoine (9/5): - Superbe hôtel, chambre particulièrement confortable
- Tamer (5/5): - Clean, good accommodations Not worth the price for the night that we stayed.
- Kara (10/5): Lovely Laekur so far from anything but close to everything! - We loved the location. After working in Reykjavik for a week, we were ready to unwind and go offline and this location was perfect. So far away from everything yet so close to waterfalls and a short hop to Vik. It was perfect to rest and recharge before long days of driving in the rental car. Best dinner we had on the island and the nicest staff with friendly faces to see after windswept days outside. We loved everything. We cannot say a bad thing about the property.
- Parrish (10/5): Northern lights with country sophistication here - Great location to view aurora borealis. Farmhouse charm of property with comfortable restaurant and rustic rooms were clean, comfortable, and charming . No complaints or criticisms .
- Hirayama (10/5): Amazing!! - Location is good and staff are very nice!
- Fernanne (9/5): Voor herhaling vatbaar - Comfortable, heerlijke kamer, heerlijke spa, heerlijk restaurant -
- Alex (10/5): - The hotel is in a good location, but also remote enough to be outside of the main road. The staff were very friendly and we loved playing with the dogs - they loved playing fetch with the snow! Breakfast was plentiful and we appreciated the sauna in cold winter evenings. Our only small gripe was that the bathrooms are more like wet rooms, meaning that the shower overflows and floods the whole bathroom. We were unsure whether this was normal or whether our shower drain was blocked and used up our towels to soak up the water (which were promptly replaced in any case)
- Virginie (9/5): - Le calme, la propreté, le cadre, le petit-déjeuner Le restaurant beaucoup trop cher avec très peu de choix
- Gregorio (9/5): -
- mickael (10/5): -
- Aránzazu (10/5): Perfecta ubicación a un paso de la Ring Road - Todo. Personal muy amable, habitación calentita y muy cómoda en un entorno excepcional para ver auroras. Desayuno muy bueno. Nada. Todo estuvo de 10
- Karen (9/5): -
- liza (8/5): - L'emplacement est magique, le bâtiment est vraiment magnifique et les chambres très confortables et très propres. Petit déjeuner de qualité avec des produits frais et délicieux.
Emplacement idéal pour voir des belles aurores boréales Dans l'annonce c'était bien écrit qu'il y avait un jacuzzi/bain à remous, En fait il s'agit simplement d'un bain chaud. J'étais un peu déçue car je me faisais une joie de passer un bon moment dans un vrai jacuzzi...
- Fenix (10/5): -
- Sarah (10/5): - Sehr schönes Häuschen, super Abendessen und Frühstück
Bonus waren die Nordlichter in der Nacht -
- Kristóf (9/5): -
- Giada (10/5): - Struttura pulita e caratteristica, in mezzo al nulla, abbiamo potuto vedere l'aurora!
Colazione e cena super! Staff educato. Non potevamo chiedere di meglio 💓
- Franz (10/5): -
- Vinciane (8/5): Endroit magnifique, pdj très bon, chambre confortable - L’endroit est vraiment magnifique L’accueil a été froid et sommaire. Nous sommes arrivés pendant le repas du soir et l’accueil a été expédié en 1 minute,sans aucune explication
- Uwe (7/5): - Kurzfristige Buchung möglich, sehr gutes Frühstück Zimmer war sehr kalt, Fussbodenheizung aus, trotz Thermostateinstellung.
- ZM (9/5): とても良かった! - 部屋はシンプルだったが快適に過ごせた。水回りも清潔だった。レストランの夕食のメニューは多くはないが、どれも優しい味で美味しかった。オーロラが目の前で見れた。部屋からも見ることが出来て満足した。 部屋にワードローブがあると、なお良い。
- Monica (10/5): Excelente!! - El alojamiento precioso y vimos auroras!
- Gergely (10/5): - They were very helpful and nice to us. They helped with everything we asked for. The breakfast was solid, a great start for the day.
- JENNIFER (10/5): Great South Coast Iceland stay. - Beautiful little hotel tucked away in the countryside but close to highway 1 and centrally located between Reykjavik and Vik. Close to all the South Coast and Golden Circle sites. We had a cozy cottage with a two twins side by side bedroom downstairs, a loft with two side by side twins up above, a bathroom on the first floor. Would have loved a tiny kitchenette to wash out glasses etc but there is a minifridge. There are river views, sheep and horses in the field just behind the cottage, walking trails. There is a hot tub, a cold plunge and a sauna to relax in attached to the hotel so a short walk from our cottage. The included breakfast was delicious and the restaurant has a great view of mountains. We did not partake in dinner but the surroundings were very welcoming. We were treated to a spectacular northern lights show our last night there. On top of all this a very reasonable price. Perfect. I would have loved a kitchenette.
- Peter (8/5): -
- silvia (10/5): - Un angolo di paradiso, struttura davvero intima e nella natura! Una piccola vasca idromassaggio e sauna nella pace ad uso degli ospiti! Davvero suggestiva! Cena nel ristorante della struttura stupenda!
Le foto sono belle , ma dal vivo molto di più! Nulla
- Martínez (9/5): -
- David (9/5): we enjoyed our stay in iceland. got to see the northern lights if only for about 30 minutes. - breakfast nice. dinner and service excellent. room was great. the young blonde women in her 30's ? at the front desk was extremely helpful. she gave us 7 or 8 destinations to visit in the south. got thru 6 of them, but due to time not the other 2. I do not know her name, but, if you know her tell her thank's from Dave,and,Nancy. Nice person and very helpful to those guest's who are new to the area! Thank's It rained 3 out of the 5 days we stayed in iceland. Being our 1st international trip out of the states we enjoyed our stay. learned a lot for our next trip out of the USA.
- Karolina (9/5): - We stayed for one night and would definitely recommend the place. The room was nice, warm, and cozy, with a comfortable bed. The Wi-Fi was good. The breakfast buffet included both continental and hot options, as well as a selection of desserts. :) We were lucky enough to see the Aurora, which was amazing you just had to step outside your room, and it was right there! The staff were nice and helpful. Price was too high.

- Melanie (10/5): Wir hätten gern eine Nacht hier länger eingeplant. - Liebes, hilfsbereites Personal, ein Problem wurde sehr zuvorkommend behoben, wir fühlten uns wohl und willkommen. Die Lage inmitten sanfter Hügel und einem Bachlauf ist wunderschön. Wir hatten von hier aus bzw Hella eine Tour nach Landmannalaugar gebucht, hätten

- Aukje (8/5): -
- Susa P (10/5): - Tolles Hotel. Bekamen sogar ein Upgrade auf ein Cottage.
Mehr Platz, sehr toll.
Das Restaurant war super, Essen war Mega! Es gab nichts schlechtes. Einzig beim Frühstück hätte die Auswahl größer sein können, aber wir sind satt geworden :-)
- TOW (9/5): -
- Sabrina (7/5): Achtung bei "normalem" Zimmer - entspricht nicht der Beschreibung - Leider entsprach das Zimmer nicht der Beschreibung, mehr dazu unten, aber nach unserer Beschwerde wurde dann zumindest eine Lösung gefunden und wir erhielten eine bessere Unterkunft. Sehr großer Parkplatz. Frühstück gut, aber überschaubar, aber sehr oft kommt jemand kontrollieren und nachfüllen. Das Zimmer wurde beschrieben als Unterkunft mit eigener Terrasse und guter Aussicht, jedoch war es eher ein altes Motel-Zimmer im Erdgeschoss, gleich gegenüber der Rezeption und des Parkplatz und die sogenannte Terrasse waren zwei Holzklappstühle vor der Zimmertüre. Wände so dünn, dass man die Nachbarn husten hört. Aufgrund der falschen Beschreibung haben wir uns beschwert, erst wollte man uns ein anderes dieser Motel-Zimmer geben, da wir aber darauf bestanden, das zu bekommen, was wir gebucht hatten, wurden wir nach ca. 15min verhandeln in einer ihrer Cottages untergebracht. Man fand somit zwar am Ende eine Lösung, was aber nichts daran ändert, dass wir ohne Beschwerde nicht das, was beschrieben und gebucht war, erhalten hätten.
Cottage:
Grundsätzlich okay, jedoch mit Mängeln bei der Sauberkeit. Im Badezimmer klebten jede Menge tote Fliegen auf den Wänden und alter Dreck klebte unter dem Fenster.
Außerdem war das Badezimmer-Fenster nicht blickdicht und es gab keinen Vorhang, von außen könnte man daher beim Duschen zuschauen.
- Baerbel (7/5): -
- Elise (10/5): - Location and our cottage was very cute and perfectly outfitted for our needs. Breakfast was lovely and the staff was so friendly and helpful The menu for dinner could use a few specials or rotating dishes
- Teresa (9/5): -
- Julie (10/5): - Loved the location, tucked in the landscape out of the way. Loved the cozy room, perfect temperature. Loved the sauna, hot tub and cold plunge. Loved the dog Stella who randomly says hi and then runs off to do who knows what. Cozy, friendly, beautiful, safe, friendly.
- Filippos (10/5): - Aπιστευτη,μοναδική εμπειρία αυτό το μέρος.Απο το ευχάριστο προσωπικό,το άψογο σπίτι που έβλεπε στο ποτάμι,με άλογα και πρόβατα στην γύρω περιοχη,το μαγικό βόρειο σέλας που βλέπαμε όλο το βράδυ..η καλύτερη εμπειρία από τις διαμονές μου στην Ισλανδια..το μέρος είναι σοκ.
- Jeroen (9/5): Fantastisch!!! - De rust ruimte en het vriendelijke verzoek te gaan genieten van het noorderlicht Het noorderlicht duurde maar even maar daar kan het hotel niets aan doen🙃
- PEICHUN (9/5): -
- MAX (9/5): lieu enchanteur et personnel charmant - cadre campagnard charmant, chambre confortable, restaurant agreable, mets bien cuisinés toujours les memes plats à la carte

- Johanne (10/5): Un séjour parfait dans le sud de l’Islande - Tout, c’était super et très cosy ! Rien !
- Kari Kirsten (9/5): Wonderful country hotel with nicely sized, quiet rooms. - Hotel Laekur is a wonderful country hotel. The beds are very comfortable, and the rooms are large and nicely decorated. The location is very quiet and scenic, and the rooms themselves are very quiet. The hotel has an outside hot tub, but it was too hot to get in.
- הרשקוביץ (10/5): - מקום כפרי נפלא שרות אדיב
חדרים נוחים
מקום לחזור אליו שוב
- Nigel (10/5): - It was a small friendly family run hotel: we were upgraded to a cabin overlooking the river as there was a big group in the main building.
The view was lovely and the cabin one of the best we have stayed in. Staff came and alerted us to the Northern Lights display.
Excellent breakfast, although limited choice of evening meal. We arrived from the east and Google took us along a 25 km dirt track. Approach from the west ( where there is a sign off route 1 saying to the hotel)
- Bruce (10/5): Lovely place to spend a night and watch the horses run. - We loved staying in our little cabin at Hotel Laekur, which had a view of the river and pastures with beautiful horses running through them. It was a great place to spend a night after seeing the natural wonders of southwest Iceland. The restaurant is a bit pricey, but then again it is in a remote location on a far away island at latitude 66 in the North Atlantic!

- Roland (9/5): - Gyönyörű helyen volt, bőséges reggeli, kedves személyzet, gyönyörű táj Lehetett volna melegebb, nehezen melegedett fel a ház és nyitva voltak az ablakok amikor megjöttünk!
