The accommodations are definitely basic, but we were impressed with how clean and neat everything was. The staff was very kind and friendly. The breakfast was lovely, more than we expected from such a small place. The views from the property are just beautiful!

Fantastic spot. First time in Southeastern Iceland, and I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. My eleven-year-old was more than impressed that the TV had Crunchyroll installed!

Even tho the location is right off the highway I find it secluded enough to have the darkness needed to observe the sky in hopes of northern lights. Late at night barely any cars pass by so is quiet and serene. During the day we enjoyed the beautiful views pf the glaciar and during breakfast the tranquil environment was great too. Room was super spacious, bathroom too but the extractor didnt

Small, but clean room. Hallways had faint sulfur smell after raining, but the room in the non-renovated building was clean and kept well. Property was overall OK- nothing specifically wrong with the room, but atmosphere was a little less cozy than other places. Room was comfortable, though, so if you’re looking for a decent stay, would recommend.

I spent 4 nights and did a lot of sightseeing. It’s very convenient to Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach, Höfn Harbor, Ring Road, etc. It was overcast during my stay but I did manage to see some Aurora action. Very faint but that wasn’t a minus. Weather happens! I spent a day at Ósland, which is a manmade land bridge along Höfn Harbor. What a great place for bird watching! The room was spacious and included a desk and a full shower. There was a hair dryer in the room. The Breakfast was outstanding. They also have an on-site Restaurant, which served excellent area cuisine. I had dinner there twice: the Meat Soup and the Lobster Sandwich. Excellent! The Staff was very personable and very friendly. I felt very spoiled staying at Lilja. Great place!
