Reviews for Lyngás Guesthouse
Review 1：We stayed for one night during our road trip around Iceland. It was our first guesthouse with a shared bathroom and it was a great first experience. The entire place was very clean (room, bathroom, kitchen) and the staff was friendly. It is within walking distance to the town. We would definitely stay here again.
Review 2：Only two bathrooms for All the floor, so you always have to wait. Poor sound insolation, we heard the doors closing hard until past midnight... No one of the staff stay in the guesthouse to apply the rules by night so party goers disturb everyone else who want to sleep. Will not come back.
Review 3：Very clean and modern rooms
Review 4：The outside appearance is not the most pretty one. When arriving, in the first moment we were worrying, but no reason for it! We had just two hotplates, which mad it a little tricky to cook a meal for 7 people, but beside of this the kitchen was very well equiped.
Review 5：The guesthouse is a really nice one. We got welcomes very warm and had a great stay in this very new appearing place. Everything was perfect, without any reason to complain.
Review 6：view from the window on auto garage, price per night may have to be a little bit lower (reservation was made at the end of the day) converter EUR to ISK overestimated the benefit of ISK
Review 7：very large comfortable room, clean kitchen and bedrooms and bathroom.
Review 8：The room was very big and beautiful with nice view. Even those the toilet and shower were sheared it was very clean, and nice decorated. There is a kitchen with all facilities needed for cooking. There is no breakfast in the hotel. There is a big parking place, great restaurant in 5 min drive or 12 min walk. Dont be shock, there is no entrees with shows ;) We more then recommend to stay in this hostel! It fells like a great hotel and nothing like a normal hostel.
Review 9：Separate male & female wc makes more difficult during our stay (there were more female guess)
Review 10：Location, friendly host, very clean, good food at cafe across the street.
Review 11：The surrounding of the building. It certainly looks like an old garage which is not operating anymore. However, a lot of remainders are still waiting for recycling.
Review 12：The accommodation it self was really nice and in a very good condition.
Review 13：There was only one shower for each gender for the entire hostel and at busy times, like morning and evening, the line was over an hour. By the time it was our turn, the small bathroom was swampy.
Review 14：The rooms, common kitchen and sitting areas were clean, modern and attractive. It is a good place for a pit stop on the the way around the Ring Road, not a place to relax and linger. It was close to Route One with access to good resturants, gas and groceries. Like I said a good pit stop.
Review 15：Very well equipped room and kitchen with dining area. You have to share the showers and toilets but they are really functional and fine. The rooms are again functional but are quite pleasant with very large windows. The kitchen and dining areas are fantastic, well equipped, all ikea look but really friendly to spend some time at. All very clean.
Review 16：Breakfast is not available but few steps away there is a supermaket where you can find delicious fresh pastries.
Review 17：The house is new and close to the main Services in Egilstadir.Very comfortable bed, and the room was equipped with a small TV.
Review 18：Staff were not welcoming and more interested in returning to cafe than showing us the facilities properly. Walls in room thin and were disturbed a lot by family next door Breakfast disappointing no fresh. Read, no yoghurt just processed cheese meat and toast - not really up to scratch
Review 19：Location us handy break travelling on ring road
Review 20：Egilsstadir...
Review 21：Guesthouse toute neuve, très propre, bien équipée et chambres spacieuses. Pratique lors d'une étape en Islande. Personnel disponible et joignable par téléphone même lors d'une arrivée tardive.
Review 22：Dining room and kitchen are very nice and all you need is available, the room was big enough and had good equipment. Reception ist very friendly. Location is a good point to start a tour around Lagerfljot lake
Review 23：At check in I was not told that I could leave the key in the lock the next morning, if I want to check out. So, the next mornin I was waiting for hours at the reception for somebody. At last I called them by phone and I was told to leave the key in the lock.
Review 24：I liked this guesthouse. Everything what you need is available.
Review 25：Adres jest nieco mylący, ale to jest tak krótka ulica, że nie sposób nie trafić.
Review 26：Nie ma recepcji, ale gdy zadzwoniłem na podany numer sympatyczna pani przyjechała w ciągu 10 minut.
Review 27：The kitchen facilities available for cooking lunch or dinner were meager- no dish towels and limited utensils. Also the bedroom was noisy. We could hear every word spoken in the hall.
Review 28：Best thing was the proximity to the nature baths and the heated towel racks in our bathroom. The breakfast was excellent.
Review 29：If you forgot your keys and close the front door you will have to telephone them Cos no staff are at the guesthouse most of the time.
Review 30：Well maintained and good location.
Review 31：There was only 2 showers and 2 toilets, which was OK while I was there with just 1 couple, but there were rooms for about 12 people so it could get quite annoying.
Review 32：This is the first guesthouse I've ever stayed in and I was surprised and impressed! The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, crockery and a large fridge and the dining room was spacious and clean with books and games to use. My room had a TV, although I didn't use it and was quiet comfortable and spacious.
Review 33：In the morning I could not find the hair dryer, but I assume it is somewhere there
Review 34：Receptionist came in few minutes after phone call, our room was bright, clean and modern. Whole guesthouse is very clean. There are separate wc and showers for men and women. Full equipped kitchen.
Review 35：Luckily we had a mobile with an Icelandic SIM or we wouldn't have been able to get in as there was no one at the hotel when we arrived and had to call to get someone to check us in. That said, they were very close and we only waited a couple of minutes.
Review 36：The common area and kitchen were nice.
Review 37：We arrive around 7pm and the door was locked, therefore we had to call in order to be let in and checked in. We did not know this beforehand, therefore it may be useful to know you will need a phone in case no one is at reception.
Review 38：Very nice, clean facilities. The guesthouse is located not far from the Ring Road.
Review 39：The bed was very soft thus not very comfortable for me. Our room was in a very odd shape facing the road. The whole house with 6 rooms only had 1 bath and 1 toilet.
Review 40：The guesthouse is right in town with gas station and super markets.
Review 41：Final touches that would have made stay really good were absent for example no freezer, no soap stand in the shower cubicle...and only 2 cooking hobs
Review 42：Nice view from the rooms
Review 43：First impression, no-one at reception and building locked, had to wait around, from outside looks old and next to a car yard/ workshop? But inside makes up for it, would recommend.
Review 44：New looking interior, good communal kitchen, room simple and clean, nice view to lake. Grocery shop not far. Good wifi.
Review 45：extremely well maintained, spic and span property, very spacious, excellent kitchen, helpful staff. overall the best hostel across our stay in Iceland.
Review 46：Check-in is from 4-9 pm only, which can be difficult if you're coming from far away. However, if you just call the number on the door when you arrive you only have to wait a few minutes before someone comes to check you in. If you are anticipating a late arrival, it's best to email them ahead of time.
Review 47：Staff was incredibly friendly and guesthouse was clean, comfortable and a great spot to spend a few hours of downtime after being on the road for several days. Great showers and kitchen facilities and large, comfortable bedrooms.
Review 48：The host was very friendly and even knocked on our doors when the northern lights can be seen! Clean spaces and shared kitchen as well!
Review 49：Luckily we had the whole place for ourselves

Review 92：Price quoted by Booking.com was not price charged. Either Booking.comcomputed price from date booked and not date arranged or pricesincreased.

Review 94：1. Staff is not available until 16.00 PM. . I went to this guesthouse on 14.40 PM and no one at this guesthouse and the door was locked. I walked across the street to the restaurant and ask some people overthere to seek for the owner.

Review 96：The room, bathroom and kitchen were very clean. The kitchen has everything you need. Big refrigerator. The value for money was really good, it was a surprise for us. The staff was kind.
Review 97：Staying at Lyngás guesthouse was the most amazing experience - possibly the only '5 star' guesthouse ever. The rooms, and indeed all the facilities are very spacious, clean, modern and nicely decorated. After driving through the fog and snow around the mountains of eastern Iceland, this place was like heaven!
Review 98：If you want to cook for yourself there is not so much equipment to do so, so be prepared.
Review 99：This place is recently refurbished, and hence it's in a very good condition. The location is also great.
Review 100：Breakfast would have been nice, a little bit expensive compared to other places we stayed at
Review 101：very new inside, nice shower and toilets (could be not enough if there were more travellers), very nice kitchen and living room
Review 102：When we came to check in, there was nobody there. We waited for a halfhour and then had to go find internet to call the number on the door.We understand the owner not wanting to be there all day; however, shecould communicate this via email by asking for arrival time and/orletting us know we will need to call upon arrival. More communication.Also, the amenities were sparse. More towels in the bathroom would benice, for example.
Review 103：The rooms were very clean and we were lucky and had the entire place toourselves. It is very nice on the inside!
Review 104：Everything in this hotel is new and very clean. I had a very comfortable stay. The receptionist helped me with my luggage and answered a few of my questions. It was really nice...
Review 105：Unlike most guesthouses we stayed up, it did not have a small sink in the bedroom. So, waiting for the single WC was a little inconvenient.
Review 106：It was clean and comfortable.
Review 107：- next to the main road, but still quiet at night (this is island after all ;) ) - bland welcome - noisy kitchen door in the morning, please fix the groom for other people who want to sleep a bit more
Review 108：Big rooms enough bathroom & WC for all the guest Good resaurant in town
Review 109：room was HOT (yes hot) with just a small windows. the joined bathroom/toilet was clean but far and the place has quite a lot of rooms.
Review 110：kitchen good wifi location
Review 111：The beds are rather small (70 cm?). Electric light in the room is insufficient for reading in bed. No storage cabinets, you have to "live out of your suitcase". No sink in the room, you have to use the bathroom or shower room to brush your teeth. If the guesthouse is full (6 rooms), the one male shower/one toilet or one female shower/one toilet will not be sufficient.
Review 112：Very nice interior design, kitchen fully equipped, and could purchase a voucher for a good breakfast at another guesthouse (5 min drive away). Would stay there again if I came back.
Review 113：Most places seemed to offer free coffee, but this one did not. That would have been a nice touch.
Review 114：The room and facilities were very clean and exceptional. We had paid similar prices at other guesthouses and they were nowhere as clean or nice. The room was very sleek, and close to a 4 star standard, which is a very good value for the price.
Review 115：Although it looks more like a company or office building from the outside, the guesthouse is nicely furnished. Great plus is the clean and spacious shower and the kitchen area. There is no breakfast included, but you can get coffee right across the street at the gas station. Restaurants are in walking distance.
Review 116：Very clean accommodations, which made sharing a shower and bathroom less worrisome. Great location and friendly staff. The rooms were spacious and again, quite clean.
Review 117：There was no breakfast. We arrived late (around 9pm and had to wait 10-15 minutes for the owners to come to the guesthouse).
Review 118：The rooms were very clean and big. The kitchen was fully equipped and also very clean. The location is great.
Review 119：No blinds in the kitchen and dining area makes it very hot and difficult to see when trying to sort out breakfast. Felt a bit odd being there as the sole occupants - minimal staffing levels when we visited so the property felt a little deserted. Not much to do in Egilsstadir itself, more of a stopping off point in order to visit other areas but has a strong artistic community and close to some interesting waterfalls and mountainous walks.
Review 120：Was a very clean dormitory style/hostel accommodation, central location that was easy to find. Very well heated, shared shower-rooms were immaculate, kitchen facilities good and there was plenty of parking space and good wi-fi internet access
Review 121：We were the only guest there for the night, but if the place would havebeen fully book, one shower+one toilet for men, one shower + one toiletfor women would have not suffice.
Review 122：Was ok. Clean and nice inside.
