Hella hotellia

Plussat: Loved everything, especially the products in bathroom.

Miinukset: To provide body lotion would have been amazing!

Plussat: I cannot give a high enough recommendation. The cabin is lovely, modern, and sparkling clean, with kitchenette and panoramic view as well as a patio to take it all in! Close to Hella. Hostess Ragnhildur is fabulous and prepared a wonderful breakfast for us to make our stay even more special. We dined by candlelight in sheepskin-covered chairs. She shared pictures from books on Iceland and gave us tips for our various destinations. Would definitely return for a longer stay.

Plussat: The location is between the golden circle and vik where most of the attractions locate. Beside, Ragnhildur was super, she kept in contact with us all time to make sure our vacation is perfect.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Amazing place to stay - beautiful 'cottages', in a beautiful landscape, with a delicious breakfast. Moreover, the host is the best: on the day we had to leave the roads around us were closed, and she offered us to stay as long as we wanted in the house. In the end we stayed until 15.00 while the original check-out time was 11.00. Thanks so much!

Plussat: Quite, lovely and warm place with clean, modern facilities. Great bathrooms and kitchen, everything you need. Comfortable beds, cozy shared areas/ lounge.

Plussat: This place is a hidden gem, beautiful rooms with view, quirky decor, very cosy and awesome hosts, highly recommend.

Miinukset: Nothing not to like.

Plussat: Nice and helpful hosts - I made a short-term booking and ran in some troubles during the process. I called the Guys and we figured everything out at the property - Thanks again. The room was spacious and the facilities clean (there are a lot of toilets and showers available).

Plussat: Bed settings were extremely comforting and all accommodations beyond my expectations.

Plussat: The house is extremely clean, this includes the bathroom, kitchen, toilets and room. Set in a cosy setting and we have to say, the beds were so comfy with such thick duvets. It was a great stay and the owner is so lovely as well. Highly recommended.

Miinukset: None, it was perfect.

Plussat: Free coffee in the morning. Small touch greatly appreciated. Has everything you need and cool music and chill out area to boot.

Plussat: Very warm rooms and nice bedding even towels

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: Modern and cosy at the same time. Everything was nice and clean and stuff was just perfect.

Plussat: Spacious, clean, modern. Fab hot tub, especially early evening. Lovely warm welcome, comfy beds and a plentiful and delicious breakfast.

Miinukset: The room was very hot and we couldn’t turn the temperature down below 2 and it was roasting, even with the windows open a little all night. Dinner was not served at the hotel, not really a big deal but eating options in Hella were quite limited.

Plussat: Very hospitable staff, very friendly. Lovely scenery over a great breakfast!

Plussat: Beautiful setting. Fab breakfast. Great location for seeing the Northern Lights.

Miinukset: The bar wasn't open!

Plussat: Staff was helpful

Plussat: The staff were so friendly!!! And the hotel is great you even have sauna and hottub, unfortunately we didn't have time to use it. At night we went out, we even saw a bit of Northern light, the location is great. The hotel is clean and comfy, love it!!!

Plussat: Ystävällinen henkilökunta , helppo sijainti, kunnollinen aamiainen jo klo 4 alkaen, illalla tarjolla teetä ja kahvia, rauhallinen ja tilaa parkkeerata

Miinukset: Kylpyhuoneen ovesta

Plussat: Location. We saw salmon jumping in the river and wildlife around.Beautiful spot! We had a car so town was close for us.

Miinukset: Missed turnoff first time and had to return........minor problem

Plussat: Liked the great room, the fact that it was right on the river and it had a hot tub.(it was way too windy to use and was not sure where to get towels for it) There was a coffee bar in the dining room with cookies. . Very clean. They had votive candles lit lining the hallway where our room was. Nice touch with very nice scent. Parking was very handy.

Miinukset: No coffee with hot pot in your room. The room was very simple...absolutely no frills. Beds too soft as were the pillows. Two Asian sisters own? Or run the place. One speaks little English. The older sister showed us our room, explaining to us the window was open to bring in fresh air. Not sure if she was being truthful. Window was open because (as we discovered) the room is HOT!! We could not find the thermostat and we looked! Could not keep the window open because it was storming! Plus, no soap in the dispenser in the shower. Our biggest problem: we wanted something light to eat that evening. There were men eating in the dining room with what looked like a buffet. My husband asked the younger sister(who spoke little English) about the buffet. She said,’ yes, eat. Get what you want. No problem’ . As we were eating, we realized the men in the dining hall were there for a fishing tournament and the buffet was specifically for them which they paid for. We felt bad. We ate very little. The older sister came in and told us she would have to charge us. I understood. However, the next day she charged us $80!! The more I thought about it the madder I got. The fishermen had paid for that buffet for so many men....if anything they could have requested $$ from us. I don’t believe the two women lost any $$ over it. I believe they made a nice chunk of change on us. The breakfast was not included, but I paid on line $19 for each of us for breakfast when I made the reservation. It’s not worth it. The bacon was half cooked and cold. My husbands eggs were cold, mine barely lukewarm. There were some cold pastries, cheese, cold baked beans right out of the can. Was not impressed.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast, very helpful host and superb location with view to Hella and Eyjafjallajökull - the sunrise was magnificient

Plussat: We stayed as a group of five friends in one of the lovely warm stylish cottages, amazing views from our deck of the river and the sunrise. The evening meals and breakfast in the restaurant were delicious , the owners and staff were all lovely, and came to get us to see the Northern lights and took the best picture for us. We all loved our stay.

Plussat: The room was super cozy and we were lucky enough to see the northern lights from our bed!

Miinukset: There was a good variety of food for breakfast but by the time the pancakes or the eggs were out and they were already gone

Plussat: Nice to have a hot tub (although it was busy). Breakfast was good. And good atmosphere in general.

Plussat: The location: in the middle of nowhere, 15 mns from Hella (gravel road) The spacious room The hot tube and saunter friendly staff The friend staff

Miinukset: Cleanness of the room: we found some hairs a little bit everywhere in the room and an used tissue under the bed. Food: we had dinner there once and it’s expensive for what you get (we recommend the restaurant of hotel Stracta (Stracta Bistro 12mns drive from the hotel) for excellent and less expensive food.

Plussat: The food in the restaurant is excellent!

Plussat: Located in country side where the view is just amazing during winter time, the whole area was covered with snow

Miinukset: The room was not heated enough ( -10 at night) and there was a bad smell coming out from the sink

Plussat: Jacuzzi and sauna was great. Good breakfast. Staff (stew) was very friendly and helpful. Thank you for our stay.

Miinukset: The towels were very old and frayed at the end.

Plussat: The location was really good for feeling natures and we couldn't see northern lights but we could see lots of twinkle stars.

Plussat: If the Northern Lights had arrived this would be the perfect location, by a river and with virtually no light pollution. It's close to so many amazing things to see and do, glaciers, waterfalls, black sand beaches and it is the cosiest place to come back too. Huge room, really well equipped with a huge corner bath in the bathroom. Superb restaurant and great bar, the long island ice tea is superb and the Paulliac 2013 surprisingly good value. Bathrobes, slippers, chocs on the pillow and lots of places to sit and read or do jigsaw puzzles. Lovely team too.

Plussat: Clean facilities & helpful friendly staff

Miinukset: No gym facilities on site

Plussat: I cannot say enough about the staff at the Hotel Ranga. Everyone made you feel like one of the family attentive to all your needs. THe front desk was specifically informative about day trips and restaurants. AND we saw the Northern Lights, beautiful

Miinukset: We would have like more vegetarian options on the menu.

Plussat: Great staff, food and drinks. Hotel is beautiful and our suite (we stayed in the South African suite) was lovely. Would stay again!

Plussat: We loved our stay here! Victoria on reception is a big credit to your business and couldn't be more helpful. She even checked up on us when we arrived late one night. The breakfast was delicious and food at the restaurant was 5* . All the staff were so friendly, warm and welcoming!

Miinukset: Would suggest the hot tubs could maybe be warmer with jets

Plussat: He help d make my wife’s 50t birthday spectacular. Thank you Frederick and your amazing team!

Miinukset: I didn’t like having to leave. The amazing breakfasts, dinners, drinks and the adventures that Frederick sent us out on were so fun. Thank you!

Plussat: Staff were friendly and very helpful, sharing information about the surrounding area. The food was exceptional.

Plussat: Our stay was fabulous - the meals (dinner and breakfast) were wonderful - best breakfast we had on our week-long trip. We got the wake-up call for the aurora (faint but visible), though I wish they had turned out the parking lot lights to see it better. The location is great - isolated but an easy stop between Golden Circle and southern coast. Great staff as well, and we appreciated the free drink with our check-in!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: The beds were comfy, the house was clean, the wifi was good

Miinukset: The location of our house was a bit secluded. It was a bit hard to look for at night.

Plussat: Amazing and diversified breakfast. The location and surrounding are absolutely breathtaking

Miinukset: nothing of negative to mention

Plussat: We liked the location, it was quiet and beautiful. The staff was friendly. There was no kettle inside the room so they allowed us to use their microwave.

Miinukset: There should have been kettle inside the room. Breakfast rates were on higher side.

Plussat: Only the location.

Miinukset: The cottage needs makeover. The kettle was dirty and stinky. Shower area had water all over. Water not draining properly. Main door we could not lock.

Plussat: Cosy spacious room.

Plussat: Hot tube in the backyard, perfect for star gazing at night, you might even get the company of the farm horses. The cottage is warm and cosy and you can cook your meals in the kitchen. Totally worth it!

Plussat: Siisti huone, hyvät sängyt. Hevostallit ihan vieressä. Keittiötarvikkeiden kanssa pärjäsi mutta parannettavaa olisi ollut. Ilmainen ulkoporealtaan käyttö.

Miinukset: keittiötarvikevalikoima olisi ollut mukava. Puuttui esim paistinpannu ja juustohöylä.

Plussat: It was a really lovely stay in one of the cottages. And thanks to the reception guy who prepared the hot tub for us. We can highly recommend this accommodation! The cottage was nice and super clean with an amazing view.

Plussat: Great location and modern room, very clean

Miinukset: Not a friendly welcome, after a 6 hour drive ( arriving just after 8pm ) we were told the kitchen was private and we could not cook any food. We asked if we could use a kettle which was not possible although we were allowed hot water from the coffee machine ... Luckily we had a pot noodle. After visiting many guesthouses on a few visits to Iceland it was the only place to not have use of the kitchen facilities. We were happy to pay for any food if it was available but was not able to. A real shame as the guesthouse is a great place to stay and very comfortable and clean.

Plussat: The cottage was so nice and cozy, the environment, even possible to do horse riding.

Miinukset: Everything was perfect

Plussat: Huone oli kohtuullisen siisti ja aamupala sisältyi hintaan. Henkilökunta oli mukavaa.

Miinukset: Hotelli oli ulkoapäin hyvin epämääräisen näköinen, ei edes hotellista kertovaa kylttiä. Kyseessä oli ravintola, jonka yhteydessä oli hotellihuoneita. Huoneen terassi oli kammottava. Huoneeseen kuului tien äänet.

Plussat: Hotelli oli helppo löytää heti 1-tien varresta. Huone oli siisti, siellä oli jääkaappi ja mukava nojatuoli sekä tuoli istuskelua varten. Suihku oli hyvä, sänky aivan erinomainen. Hintaan kuuluva aamiainen oli monipuolinen. Auton sai hyvin parkkiin hotellin ulkopuolelle. Vaikka huone oli tielle päin, liikenteen äänet eivät kuuluneet huoneeseen.

Plussat: Huone oli sentään sisustettu, vaikka ulkoapäin ei meinannut todeksi uskoa.

Miinukset: Hotelli on RAKENTEILLA. Ikkunasta näkyi rakennustelineet ja tie... Ulkona ei mitään kylttiä, ravintolasta kysymällä löysimme perille. Jääkaappi puuttui huoneesta, vaikka piti olla. Käytävällä rakennustyömaa jatkui heti ovemme jälkeen. Huh huh.

Plussat: The staff went above and beyond to accommodate to us and make us feel comfortable.

Plussat: Huoneet uudet ja siistit. Aamiainen ihan ok.

Miinukset: Paikan ulkoinen olemus surkea. Ei edes hotelli-kylttiä.

Plussat: Good location Tasty huge (as much you can) breakfast Not so expansive as for Iceland

Plussat: The rooms were very spacious, well equipped with beds, a desk, TV, kettle. The bathroom was huge and warm with underfloor heating The breakfast was perfectly OK, There was freshly cooked warm food along with a continental selection of food. Plenty of parking is available outside.

Miinukset: The hotel is a bit awkward to find, it is attached to a restaurant and it's not 100% clear (especially in the dark) that it's a hotel

Plussat: The reception is in the restaurant with the same name! We had problems finding it initially. I think there is refurbishment going on as it seems like some areas were not completed. Our room was okay but the bathroom floods when we take a shower! We liked the breakfast, this was the only hotel we stayed in that served bacon for breakfast!

Miinukset: The flooded bathroom! When I informed the girl when checking out, she didn't seemed very pleased with the feedback

Plussat: Breakfast was delicious, room was very clean, heated floor in the bathroom a nice extra, staff helpful and friendly, private patio, quiet rooms and comfy beds.

Miinukset: Loved it! Would be nice if maybe they got a hot tub for the hotel?

Plussat: The lady running the reception was very helpful and friendly. We got great service thanks

Plussat: Location, breakfast, confort

Miinukset: rooms to small

Plussat: Good food on site. Hot tubs outside were nice. 12.00 checkout was good. Well placed in Southern Iceland.

Miinukset: Walls were a little thin so you could hear quite a lot through them. Breakfast was ok but below others on the trip.

Plussat: Hotel were very communicative prior to my arrival. Updating and answering any questions. Incredibly comfy bed, warm rooms and a really lovely breakfast. I'm Coeliac and they were able to cater Gluten free for me which was really nice and unexpected. Location is spot on for exploring the south. Hot chocolate is amazing! ;)

Plussat: Good food, good location, staff helpful

Miinukset: Hot tubs and saunas not working effectively

Plussat: Great location, lovely hotel with outdoor hot tubs and steam rooms. Good food in the restaurant and a delicious breakfast in the morning.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Kuumat paljut olivat mukavat, paikka erittäin siisti, hyvä palvelu ja ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Miinukset: Sauna ei oikein voi kutsua saunaksi, mutta siitä varoitettiin etukäteen vastaanotossa

Plussat: Hyvä ruoka listalta, ystävällinen palvelu ja kattava aamiainen. Plussaa jacuzzista.

Miinukset: Huoneessa todella huono ilmanvaihto (lue ei ollenkaan). Aamulla pää kipeänä ja huoneessa todella tunkkainen ja kostea ilma. Vaatteet eivät edes kuivuneet huoneessa sillä se oli niin kostea. Lisäksi kylpyhuoneessa paha haju ja vesi jätti limaisen pinnan ihoon sekä hiuksiin. Hiuksia ei saanut puhtaaksi. Mainostettu sauna kylmä eikä siellä saanut löylyjä.

Plussat: Well kept and had a great shared kitchen. Easy to check in yourself via door codes. Good shared bathroom facilities. Sink in the bedroom.

Miinukset: Beds were very uncomfortable. Room was very small and compact. Only one very thin pillow given.

Plussat: Aamupala tosi hyvä ja mukava henkilökunta - reylly good breakfast and nice hosts

Plussat: The room was pleasant and clean. The kitchen was very nice. The staff on hand was super helpful.

Miinukset: The bathroom shower was clogged and dirty.

Plussat: Easy self check-in, good cooking and bathroom facilities. Comfortable and clean. Supermarket down the road.

Plussat: Great location for an over night stop on our way back from the southern coast. Great kitchen facilities and very clean

Miinukset: The double bed in the room was uncomfortable for my parents who struggled to sleep on it. The single bed was good though.

Plussat: Helppo sisäänkirjautuminen ja hyvä hinta/laatusuhde.

Miinukset: Sijainti oli syrjäinen eikä alueella ollut vaihtoehtoja ruokailutarjonnalle.

Plussat: Equipped kitchen.

Miinukset: The customer service of property was disappointed. The lady who picked up the phone was really unfriendly and impatient. Just kindly asked her to repeat the question one more time, but she was really ruled and yelled to me. I don’t understand how hard to just do it again. Hope no one will need to face this situation.

Plussat: The bed was very nice

Miinukset: The host was not nice at all, very rude. We thought it was kinda weird that the front door is 24/7 open, so if you go to the toilet late in the night its a little creepy to walk alone in questhouse. And also in the bathroom there is no place for your clothes or towel, if you bring it with you everything will be wet

Plussat: Big kitchen and comfortable beds, heating, self-check-in

Miinukset: Almost a mountain of snow and ice in front of the main door, so you have to be super careful to not injure yourself. Room wasn't soundproof so you can hear how people talking, walking back and forth and open doors, especially noise was the door in the dormitory

Plussat: Brrakfast was abundant and filling, staff friendly

Miinukset: Had a very late check in and was hard reaching front desk. The room was very mediocre, felt like a hostal, TV didnt work, needs some updating
