This was a great place to base ourselves out of throughout our Southern coast adventures. The breakfast was good. Our room was cute. The area is beautiful. I would stay here again.
We had an absolutely awesome stay at Riverfront Lodge! The staff/owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, it’s in a beautiful and peaceful location with great views, and very convenient for those traveling the Ring Road. Definitely recommend!

We had a great stay! Very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast and had everything we needed.
The room was spacious, private, clean and the breakfast good. The host went out of his way to have our breakfast ready earlier than the normal time so that we could be to our tour in time. Highly recommend!
This was our most eventful stay. The staff was lovely, though reasonably chaotic at times. The parking area is small. It was raining when we were there and a few people got stuck. Love the aesthetic of the hotel. I wish there were more protein options for breakfast, but what was available was still good.
Loved the view from the room! Like someone else said though the walls are paper thin so if you're sensitive to noise from others just be aware you might have to listen someone next door snoring all night
Stayed here twice during my Iceland trip. It’s a peaceful, cozy place that makes a great base for exploring the South Coast.
Pros
* Extremely quiet, peaceful, and relaxing.
* Cozy, comfortable rooms with a nice cabin feel.
* Beautiful setting beside the river.
* Easy to access and close to Hella.
* Great location if you’re taking buses to/from the Highlands.
* A perfect place to rest and recharge after a long day outdoors.
Opportunities for Improvement
* A few maintenance and attention-to-detail items:
* No bedside table.
* Bedside lights flickered.
* TV remote was missing.
* Window blinds didn’t work properly.
* Door locks were a bit confusing and finicky.
* Breakfast was a little underwhelming. More variety and better coffee would make a noticeable difference.
* My biggest piece of feedback is the fragrance used on the bedding. I’m somewhat sensitive to scents, but this was much stronger than anywhere else I stayed in Iceland. The perfume smell actually woke me up during the night. I’d strongly recommend switching to an unscented or more neutral laundry detergent, as I think it would improve the experience for many guests.
Overall
This is a charming, peaceful place in a beautiful setting, and I’d happily stay here again. With a little more attention to the small details, it could easily be a 5-star experience.
Stayed one night. Had issue locking door but staff were quick to rectify it. Nice property just outside of small town with restaurants and cafes. We stopped here between our golden circle day trip onwards to Vik. Room was pretty with a view of the river. No staff on site so check in is via lock box info that is provided day before or so. We didn’t get to stay for the breakfast as it starts at 0815 and we were already on the road. Room was a nice size for two people, clean with a small fridge and some things for coffee and tea. Some towels had a bit of an odour but we just didn’t use those. Otherwise beautiful location, felt very calm and peaceful. Better to have a car as it would be a walk down a side road then a highway.
Worst stay so far on the ring road. Very small room for a family of four. Once you keep your luggage, there is no place to walk. Worst - the hot water ran out after 5 mins. No one took bath. The lodge is unmarked and easily missed on the road.
Stunning location. Decent sized rooms with lovely bedding and very clean. The only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because the walls are quite thin so we could hear quite a lot from other guests nearby.
