kitchen

Me and my family came and stayed here in January, we stayed for 4 nights, we had a big massive room that had two single beds, a kitchen, a balcony, lots of storage and a bathroom and lots of room. The place was lovely. It had everything in there that you could ever want. 
The owners were lovely and very helpful. Spoke to them both one night and had a few drinks in their bar. They even got the sledge out for my 2 year old son, he absolutely loved it. Amazing views, will definately come back when we return. Thank you so much both.

Amazing place to stay and lovely owners!

The worst hotel we had in Iceland
Totally overpriced
Looks like an old dirty motel
Unpleasant staff
Disgusting food and kitchen closes at 8pm
Continue your way to Borgarnes or Akranes instead
More a joke than an actual hotel you pay 200$ a night !!

Overpriced and unpleasant staff

Fantastic accommodation. We stayed 5 nights and for 3 nights we saw the northern lights! Wonderful mountain and river views in a perfect location away from the city. 
Absolutely perfect for our family. We didn’t eat in the restaurant but the place was fully equipped with a great kitchen which meant we could cook, make picnics, and eat here. Lots of extras included like washing up liquid, bin liners, washing powder for the washing machine/ dryer. Free Parking outside the front door.  All the beds are in one large space with the kitchen and sitting area. 
We’d absolutely stay here again if we are ever blessed to visit this wonderful country again. I really hope so. Thanks so much to everyone involved at this motel - we’ve had a once in a lifetime trip 

Absolutely fantastic for a family

Friendly owners, very interesting to talk to about country life in Iceland. 
The rooms are immaculate, no noise from the outside world at all. Perfectly located to be a base from which to explore. 
If your considering booking, just book you will not be disappointed.

Perfect base for adventuring Iceland

Stayed at this hotel as we needed something that was convenient for the hospital and  booked last minute . The staff were very friendly and helpful and I would not hesitate to book again. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable, we also had a lovely view from our room.  We didn’t try the hot tub or sauna because the weather was terrible. Thanks for making our stay a pleasant one

Lovely little hotel

One night, had fish dinner that had 3 massive bones in it and (owner I think it was) did not take responsibility. Could not sleep with window open due to traffic noice. Did not like the layout of the room, not cosy at all.

Fishbones and night disturbance

This place is so quaint and simple but delicious food. It was our last night in Iceland and we toured the west side and making our way back to Rajkovich. We stopped for dinner and this wonderful couple made us dinner. They accommodate us since our one friend was Vegan. They made delicious hamburgers off the menu and I had the fish of the day Cod. It was so fresh and so was the salad and potatoes. Place is super clean and so inviting. They have a bar with drinks also. What a great place. Would go again. 

Dinner on last night

A great place to "charge the batteries" just outside Reykavík city.  Me and my wife had a weekend retreat with some friends, to get a pause from the busy city life just before Christmas. Just to make it short, it was beautiful. just 35 minutes drive from the city but quiet and calm location on the banks of the beautiful salmon river Laxá in Leirársveit. Our room was spacious and very clean with balcony overlooking the Laxá river.  There are apparently new beds in all rooms (I asked the owner about the unusualy comfortable bed in a hotel/guesthouse). Great food in the resturant and calm and realaxed atmoshpere on the bar after the dinner.  I would recommed this 
 Guesthose to anyone who want´s a calm and quiet retreat from the city. I almost forgot to mention the hot tub under the black stary night sky of December in Iceland, and there is a sauna to :-)

Getaway from the city life

A group of friends going to what we Icelanders call “jólahlaðborð” or Christmas buffet decided to make a week-end of it. Laxárbakki is only about half an hours drive north of Reykjavík, so close enough so that it was not a major roadtrip but far enough to feel like a true get-away.
The hotel is family-owned and -run and we got that warm family feeling throughout our stay. The check-in was probably the fastest I have experienced and what a delight to go into our spotless clean hotel-apartment, with our own balcony (although, Iceland in Dec is not really full of balcony moments... 😊)
We had our little spa-moment in the hot tub and sauna before getting ready for the buffet.
The food was delicious and again that warm family feeling was present with three generations working in the restaurant that night.
After a night filled with excellent food, drinks and lots of laughter we got a real good night’s sleep in a new and comfortable bed in a very quiet environment. 
I will be recommending this place to friends and family looking for a nice get-away-treat and also those going for “jólahlaðborð”. For foreign visitors I can also recommend both the hotel and restaurant if you want to stay close to but not in Reykjavík. It is right off the main road (so no time wasted on a detour) but in a quiet and beautiful spot.

p.s. the photo is of the balcony and view from our room

Weekend getaway with friends

I spent 3 nights with my family here, quick and easy check in6, with lots of parking. It took around 2 hours to reach the hotel from Keflavic Airport due to a road closure with high winds, but we made it.

The apartment had a double, a single, and a large sofa bed. It was always warm, with underfloor heating and a nice warm bathroom too.

The kitchen was well equipped, as well as seating and a large TV.

On the last night the skies were clear and there's not so much light pollution at the location so we enjoyed a glimpse of the green sky!

I'd definitely recommend staying here as a base for touring if you've got your own transport.
