The staff is really friendly and helpful. The location is in the middle of nowhere, a plus point for the northern lights. Clean and comfortable. The floor heating is really nice.
GermanyFood was excellent, location for viewing northern lights excellent (although we didn't get to see them due to cloud cover).
United States of AmericaIt felt like home! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The views can't be beat! The food was delicious. I highly recommend Hotel Ranga!
United States of Americawonderful hotel. The staff was incredible and extremely helpful. The food in the restaurant was the best I had on my trip. Everyone must try the wild mushroom soup! The towels were thick and fluffy and so cozy! The bed could have been a little bit more luxe given that it was a four-star hotel, but it was still very comfortable. I loved the wooden lodge theme. Would definitely stay here 100 times again.
United States of AmericaWe absolutely loved our stay here and the wonderful food & staff. Highly recommend this hotel
United States of AmericaWe had a standard room, which was small, but lots of really nice sitting and gathering areas in hotel. Service was exceptional
United States of AmericaWe have visited Iceland 5 times and have stayed at Ranga every single time and every time has been excellent. This hotel is beautiful in a central location. The staff is top notch and the food is amazing. However, this time was special. We had a series of unfortunate events during one of the nights of our trip and if it weren't for this Hotel's owner, GM and staff, I don't know how we would have managed. In our tough time the owner himself extended his help and everybody in this hotel treated us amazingly. If we thought of Hotel Ranga highly before, they for sure have us as customers for life. We surely appreciate everyone there and we will be seeing them again!
United States of AmericaThe staff was great! Room very comfy and loved the restaurant and our free welcome drink
United States of AmericaHotel Ranga has a luxury feel with fine dining and beautiful views.
United States of AmericaEverything about Hotel Ranga was wonderful. Our rooms were upgraded at check-in without asking - which was an unexpected surprise and we were thrilled with our rooms - spacious and lovely and the bathroom was very roomy and the tub was fantastic! The entire hotel was beautiful, loved the bar and the billiards room. We used the hot tubs also and that was a lovely way to end the evening. Dinner was fabulous, the staff was super friendly. The welcome cocktails were also so appreciated. I cannot say enough times how much we loved our stay.
