Guest Reviews and Hotel Ratings

Honest Guest Feedback Based on Real Stays
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Lighthouse-Inn offers spacious and cozy rooms, some featuring a rustic cabin vibe, that guests appreciate for their comfort. It's a great spot to explore the southern peninsula and, if you're lucky, catch the Northern Lights, with some guests successfully spotting them during their stay; the hotel even offers a Northern Lights wake-up call. The location is convenient, particularly for accessing KEF airport, and you can find the Gardur Lighthouse and a museum within a short walk. While most find it delightful, some guests have noted that noise can travel between rooms. The breakfast buffet is a highlight for many, and the hotel also features a restaurant.
