We had a long drive from where we were, and this hotel is nearer to Hofn. Check in and check out is a breeze! Breakfast included and they have a lovely spread! From here its a short (45mins+) to Jokulsarlon, Fjallsarlon & the Diamond beach. Entire hotel area is pitch black at night so if the clouds are clear, you can see the aurora! Reception/ breakfast and rooms are separate but the building where all the rooms are has a communal seating area with free coffee/ tea!

Nadhrah Singapore

Comfy bed. Hot shower and the towel drying rack was perfect after the Blue Lagoon. Breakfast was awesome and the mountain views are amazing.

Refined1567 United States of America

Very nice staff, nice and clean, comfortable, great value, and nice location.

Gina United States of America

This was a more affordable property with huge bedrooms, vaulted ceilings and giant bathrooms which were great for 3 of us in one room. Easy to find right off the highway and has a small bar and dinner available which was great.

Barrett United States of America

The room was nice and modern, very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. This is one of two areas where my hot spot from Trawire didn't work (odd since it's just 20 minutes from Hofn), but the WiFi at Lilja was good. My room was in the main building where reception is.

Mekala Canada

Great room, very clean, comfortable and roomy! Large bathroom with excellent shower! Restaurant menu good and food was excellent!!!

Carole United States of America

Breakfast good, fresh and copious. Beds are very comfortable and rooms are spacious. Really clean.

Johnthebiggiant Canada

The staff was so friendly and accommodating. After a long day of travel, we arrived a few minutes before the restaurant closed. The staff was so kind and allowed us to have a full dinner and did not make us feel rushed. The hotel was also very clean and modern. A great place to stay when traveling ring road!

Rebekah United States of America

The view from my room was excellent, in front of a huge glacier.

Rogertritone Brazil

Breakfast was wonderful, staff were amazing, and we requested a room with more of a view when we arrived and they accommodated us! It was overall a great stay. Thanks!

Host Info

Host Review Score 8.9

Lilja Guesthouse býður upp á góða gistingu í skemmtilegu sveitaumhverfi. Frá gististaðnum er útsýni til fjalla og jökla. Staðurinn er rekinn af ungri fjölskyldu, þriðju kynslóð ábúenda, sem kappkostar að veita góða og persónulega þjónustu.

Við erum að hefja rekstur gistiheimilis og höfum mikinn áhuga á ferðaþjónustu. Ég er hjúkrunarfræðingur og lögfræðingur og maðurinn minn er einnig lögfræðingur. Við eigum tvær stelpur saman.

Frá Lilju Guesthouse er stutt í skemmtilega og fjölbreytta afþreyingu, t.d. fjallgöngur, jökulgöngur á Fláajökul og siglingar á Fjallsárlóni eða Jökulsárlóni. Lilja Guesthouse er við rætur Vatnajökulsþjóðgarðs og við rætur Vatnajökuls, stærsta jökuls Evrópu. Frá gististaðnum er útsýni til fjalla og jökla.
