    Nothing. It was all great.

    We loved everything about Hotel Rangá. The staff were all lovely and super helpful. The room was really comfortable with a lovely jacuzzi bath in the en-suite. We were lucky to have a north facing room so got a really good view of the Northern Lights. There is an aurora wake up service but we were already up mesmerised by the show outside. The observatory was open on the night we stayed too which was really interesting. We did not eat in the restaurant in the evening but breakfast the next day was one of the best we’ve had in Iceland. So much choice with hot and cold options. We will definitely return in the future.

    Everything was great, would recommend to everyone. My wife and I only wished we could have spent more time at the resort. We did a lot of traveling and made this our home base for 4 days

    We loved everything about this place. We were able to upgrade to a suite after we arrived and I would recommend that to everyone. The dinners were great and the lounge area and the bar were perfect. The staff couldn't have been nicer. Not to mention that they have a call service you can sign up for that rings your room if the Northern Lights come out...... Just fantastic

    We loved our two night stay at Hotel Ranga, a unique, beautiful hotel in a spectacular location convenient to the Golden Circle and south coast. We loved every aspect of our stay, particularly the beautiful places to sit and relax through the hotel, the beautiful artwork, Aurora wake up calls and the observatory (although unfortunately the weather was not clear during our stay). The breakfast, dinner and delicious cocktails were a highlight as were the helpful and friendly staff. Thank you to all at Hotel Ranga for making our stay truly memorable.

    Cozy cabin feel hotel, but rooms are very spacious and service excellent across the board. We had very welcoming service, and excellent restaurant experience as well both nights. Most uniquely, its an isolated and peaceful location, with star/sky observatory hut 3 min walk from hotel. They gave a wonderful skygazing session explaining the incredible skyscape you see given you are in low-light pollution area, and most importantly we saw the Northern Lights for over an hour in middle of this session!

    Great and spacious rooms (we had tried the Japanese inspired junior suite and then 1 night in the large suite), both offered great space (latter with a jacuzzi in the room). Overall excellent service across full experience, great restaurant and beautiful peaceful landscape. Additionally, star gazing observatory is very nice and guide explains the beautiful skyscape. We got super lucky and caught the Northern Lights for over an hour during the star gazing tour!

    The hotel and rooms are beautiful and really cosy. Great food, great drinks and lovely staff. We got to see the Northern lights as they woke us up in the early hours to see them. We had hired a car and got to see loads of great sights within a couple of hours drive. We would definitely come back and stay here again if we come back to Iceland!

    The bedroom wasn't quite our style - old fashioned ski chalet style and quite small, but we knew this when we booked and it certainly wouldn't put us off booking again.

    We chose Hotel Rangá for our short break over Christmas, partly in the hope that we would see the Northern Lights. We didn't (!) but we still loved our stay. The staff were excellent - very friendly, helpful and knowledgable (provided very good advice about which roads were passable etc). The food was excellent with a good choice of dishes. The location was ideal with lots of the key sites within relatively easy reach. Another hi-light for us were the hot tubs which we sat in to watch the very slow sunsets over the beautiful river view.

    Breakfast was included and it was varied and delicious. I thought the mark up on the wine was really high but then when it comes to imports, I understand everything is so expensive.

    The food was delicious especially dinner- on the pricier side. But I suppose worth it.
