Welcome Lambafell

Absolutely nothing

Could not even check into our room incorrect room number given and codes did not work. No contact information would work all numbers were a dead end. Had to stay in a hostel down the road. Charged £340 for nothing I want a full refund.

Location

The view was incredible! Parking out front was easy and there was plenty of space. Breakfast had many options which I appreciated because I’m vegetarian. The hot tub out back was relaxing and is open 24/7, so although it’s small, you can easily find a time to relax privately.

The smell of the water is noticeable, though it’s just because of the minerals in that area. It’s not bothersome as long as you expect it to be different!

It was a clean hotel and cozy. The breakfast was good enough.

It was far from everything and everywhere. No reception at the property and it was difficult to go for dinner. We could not have hot water.

Very clean, with food personnel.Richful breakfast with a hottab and very good location

The location is excellent, the bed and room were comfortable, breakfast was decent, and the log cabin is cute.

When we arrived we realized that our TV was missing the remote. We searched the room high and low for it to no avail. Within an hour of check in we contacted the hotel by both Whatsapp and text message, as well as through booking.com. We stayed two nights and checked out of the room 13 hours ago but have still yet to receive a response. The shower door was not properly functioning and it's apparent that the owners have not been keeping up with maintaining the building as there was cracking and separation visible where the log walls were adhered to the sheet rock walls, the flooring has also visibly separated so that you can see large gaps between the boards. There was also no way to indicate to the cleaning staff if you did not wish to be disturbed. When the staff came in to service the room all they did was replace the towels and check the toilet paper. The floors also were not swept or vacuumed so shoes or slippers had to be worn in the room at all times unless you enjoy having dirty feet and the feeling of walking on tiny bits of gravel or sand. Additionally the hotel WiFi was not very good.

It was clean and beautiful. Breakfast was good. Room was spacious.

Location, very clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast. The building was great

Liked everything

locationambiencebreakfast although coffee not so good

we are older and had to carry luggage upstairsThe room was too smalli had to duck to get in and out of bed. Too small for 2 people to get dressed together

Very roomy and quiet. Good breakfast

Better communication for check in .. No one was on location and had bad cell reception to call for help

Hot tub & view. Easy to get to

Breakfast was better than average the staff definitely cared about the guests.

The walls are thin so you can hear conversations in the hallway or other rooms. That said the guests were not loud and it did not disturb our sleep.

The location was unbeatable as a departure point for exploring the southern coast. Quiet. Peaceful. And the lodge was lovely. The ladies preparing the breakfast were delightful and friendly and the buffet was robust with a wide selection of cooked food including eggs and sausages, smoked salmon, yogurts, cereals, breads, fruits, coffee, juices. Quite a spread. Despite prior reviews the breakfast was set out by 7 am and guests were eating.

That said, some areas to improve: Lots of deferred repairs. The hot tub had moss growing....though the view was amazing. Regular maintaining of this would be easy. The floors creaked so we heard our upstairs neighbors often. The beds had awful, saggy mattresses and we were unable to communicate with staff as there were none on site. The windows did not open except for one as the cranks were missing and the room got quite hot at night due to the thick, down comforters. We requested a blanket but no reply. The big downer that unfortunately left us with a bad taste was the 'manager' who arrived on the second morning. He commanded the ladies to not allow anyone to eat before 8am (though the prior days the spread was open at 7am and everyone was eating). and he yelled at us in front of other guests because we were bringing two small croissants and a few slices of cheese back to our room. I am not a breakfast person but do get hungry around 10am so since we paid for the food I assumed this was ok and there were no signs requesting guests to not do this. That said, I do respect policies but to yell at us in front of other guests was awful. He could have been far more discreet. When we later asked him to fix the window the attitude was truly awful...he made us feel quite 'put out' and yet we were the paying guests! Get a new on-site manager who understands the business of making guests feel welcome and at home.

The place was very cozy and it's a true log built cabin. The breakfast exceeded our expectations, very good and plenty of food. Great coffee machine in lobby. The hot tub was great. The location positioned right along side a mountain range was breathtaking.

Shower is on the small size, but was no issue for us what so ever.

Beautiful building and property. Exceptional breakfast included. Very clean and has a hot tub available ??

CleanQuietLooks nice

Hot tub was manky Very overpriced for what you’re getting Breakfast lacking Small rooms

Stunning scenery around and lovely accommodation. We only had a last minute 1 night stay here.

The shower water pressure was really bad and light bulbs could be brighter in the bathroom.

Lovely property, looks like a nice lodge Rooms are spacious Snacks and hot drinks available out of hours

The room was comfortable. The location is good for a drive along the southern coast. We liked our room's access to the spa tub. The location was excellent for the amazing northern lights we saw.Once we found the correct location, the phone mentioned in the instructions was easy to find and the host gave me the numbers needed to access the room.The common room has lots of comfortable seating and several games.Several reviews have mentioned breakfast: Breakfast was fine (if you are from the US, this was on par with a mid-level hotel breakfast) but not as good as what we experienced at the other inns we visited during our stay.

Only one key was provided. Although not a deal breaker for staying again, it did require some coordination for my spouse and me who have different sleep schedules.Knowing how safe Iceland is, I would stay here again if traveling solo. However, if you are female and travelling solo from the US, this location may feel a little odd when you check in as there is no on-site host. When we arrived, there was no one there and the front door was wide open. Had we not been the first arrivals that day, we may not have felt as unsure as we did. This location has three different Lambafell accommodations as well as one from another hotel group. Better signage clearly indicating that this building is located at the end of the long driveway would go a long way to making arrival feel more comfortable.

Comfortable room, good wifi access, appreciate the breakfast but could have more selection of food. Simple and fast check-in with a key lockbox

Lighting in the washroom and in room could be better
