2/10 Poor

The gentleman who checked us in was extremely nice. Our beds were clean and the room itself was overall clean. The bathroom however, specifically the shower was disgusting. The shower curtain was like paper and completely brown on the bottom. The shower floor was dirty, we wore our sandals we brought for the geothermal baths to shower. And the bathroom floor mat is an actual bath mat, not a towel that most hotels use that gets washed after a hotel guests stay. So it did not look like it had ever been washed or cleaned. Don’t expect to eat breakfast. It’s self serve and consisted of a few boxes of already opened cereal boxes and bread bags, which who knows how long the cereal has been sitting there and who’s hands have been in it. Also, there’s a small mini fridge with some cold cuts, cheese and cucumbers, milk and juice and some apples and oranges. But again the cold cut meat was in an open package, not wrapped and who knows how long things have been open for and who’s hands have touched what. My husband made a coffee to go, and we didn’t bother eating breakfast.

6/10 Good

The views were fantastic to the front of the property, the accommodation was basic, one nighter OK, noise could be an issue in the building, having a common room in the middle with four rooms off. The breakfast was a help yourself,in the fridge & cupboard, so you could eat anytime that suited yourself. I would not call it a Hotel but a hostel type of stay.

Suggest not to stay during winter
Hotel owner was not around when we arrive around 7 plus evening time.we called him with the number provided at the hotel door and he picked up and gave clear instruction. However we did not get to see the hotel owner at all during the whole night.there was no bread for breakfast and milk was spoilt. We left the hotel room without seeing the hotel owner at all. I do not know whether it is necessary but amenities are lacking.

10/10 Exceptional

This place exceeded my expectations for the price we paid. The room and bathroom were clean, and we had a very nice view of the mountains. The walls are thin, so you hear the coffee machine running in the morning. (There is a coffee machine and kettle in the common area.) This is a great location to stop overnight before you go into the West Fjords. The drive here and back into Budardalur was also very scenic.

100% YES! This place is great!
This place was fabulous. The employees were so helpful and the food in their restaurant was absolutely delicious. The scenery was beautiful as well (but that's to be expected anywhere in Iceland). Definitely a great place to stop for the night.

On way to/from Western Fjords
We had a great stay a Ljosaland. Perfect overnight stop when traveling to or from the Western Fjords. The restaurant was nice and there is even a pool table to enjoy, listen to music, and have a drink. Upon check in, we were offered some local tourist information including directions to a nearby hot spring. Room was adequate for our needs. The TV didn't work but we really weren't there for that so it wasn't a big deal.

Good place to stay
The staff was lovely. They showed me around and offered good advice for things to see in the area. The rooms were large with plenty of space. The walls were a bit thin, and the breakfast room is a central room between 4 bedrooms. Breakfast is some cheese slices, meat slices, a couple choices of cereal, juice, coffee, bread and spreads. If you're like me and don't eat breads and grains then I would suggest skipping it. I tried the frosted flakes and found that the milk was sour. Luckily, there was another jug, but it kinda turned me off. The restaurant for dinner is right next door, it was good and I liked that it was so close.

very cool little hotel
this place was very cool. the couple who runs it go out of their way to make you feel at home. I left something very important to me in the room and they took the time to mail it to a location that ill be later on in the week. the view is beautiful (like the rest of iceland) and be sure not to miss the hot pot a little down the road.
