Pros:

Buffet dinner was very delicious Icelandic fare: lamb meatballs, curried halibut, trout poke Asian style, pickled red cabbage, home made rye bread, pickled beet root and fish soup.
Ask for the “new” rooms in the addition. They have new bathrooms and balconies with views of the ocean and waterfalls. Great location on the peninsula for day trips. Helpful staff.

Pros:

This is a beautiful property in the sense it is comfortingly decorated and the hospitality of the staff is lovely. You can walk to the ocean. The breakfast was lovely. The dinner buffet specializes in fresh and local fish, which we didn't realize when we booked, and which is not a favourite of our group. The rooms are renovated but small. As a group of 3 adults we were quite cramped in our unit.

Pros:

Comfortable and affordable option. Breakfast was amazing. We stayed in the older portion of the building so it felt like an older motel. Nothing fancy. The cleaning staff are amazing. Not a spec of fluff on the white bed sheets. The beds are comfy as well.

Pros:

The staff was excellent, working hard to meet the demands of a larger crowd than usual. The rooms are, as pictured, very basic. The food was adequate but the dinner was overpriced.

Great stay in the Snaefellsnes Peninsula
Pros:

Comfortable stay with a wonderful view in a region that has few options for hotels! Hotel Langaholt was just what we needed after a long day on the road sightseeing. We stayed in the last room on the downstairs floor that overlooked the golf course- it was large with windows on 2 sides, lots of natural light, with a great view! The blackout curtains helped us sleep well. The breakfast was great. If you are a light sleeper be sure to ask for a room away from an exit door.

A Must-Stay Hotel In Iceland!!!
Pros:

The Langaholt is in a spectacular location and run by a wonderful team. Excellent people and the new wings of the hotel are very comfortable. The food was fine, not great, but in the end they want why we were there. One of our favorite spots.

Pros:

Before I get into the review, I want to note that I’ve seen how the property has responded to other guests’ concerns, often blaming guests for selecting rooms on the older, unrenovated side. I want to be clear that when I booked, there was no indication on the website that I would be placed in such a basic room—and it truly stopped my family and me in our tracks when we opened the door. It was extremely underwhelming.

Pros: 1) Beautiful grounds overlooking the water and a golf course, 2) Great for birdwatchers—arctic terns everywhere!, and 3) Easy check-in and friendly front desk staff.

Cons: 1) Room was extremely barebones—just beds and sheets, with no additional comforts 2) Only shampoo provided in the bathroom, and the bathroom floor became dangerously slippery after a shower, 3) No TV in the room, and the TV in the shared lounge had no sound (appeared to be set to an ambient visual display only), and 4) Dinner was too expensive for us to consider, and while breakfast had some homemade touches (like jellies and fish), we didn’t find much that was appetizing

Final thoughts: Yes, we know Iceland is expensive—we budgeted for that. But this property felt overpriced for what we got. If all you need is a bed and you plan to spend all your time outside, this place may work for you. But I wouldn’t recommend it to friends or family who are looking for any comfort, beauty, or value in the room itself.

Pros:

The majority of the hotel is quite old with old bathrooms. In the photos on Expedia nearly every photo is of a smaller new addition to the hotel. Given that most rooms are in the older building, the odds are your room will also be in the older section. This set up - posting of newer rooms but getting a different/older room once you show up wasn’t unique for us on our trip to Iceland. After this stay, on reading additional reviews for other properties, this doesn’t seem to be unique. It seems like other hotel/rental properties in Iceland are taking advantage of tourists who will be visiting one time and often for a single night. They post photos of rooms that do not represent the room you will get. I encourage you to look at every photo of the property and read the 1 star reviews to be prepared for what you may encounter.
