This former schoolhouse turned guesthouse is 13 km south of Selfoss and the Ring Road. It offers a communal kitchen and free WiFi.

Thingvellir National Park is a 45-minute drive from Gaulverjaskóli Hostel. A public swimming pool is within 10 minutes’ drive.

We enjoyed a fantastic stay at the old school house! Greg and Magnea are very kind and welcoming. This booking is not just a place to sleep but an experience that I would recommend 10/10! The rooms are incredibly cozy and quiet with comfortable beds, the communal areas are super clean and the location is just very special. The surroundings are stunning, you can watch the stars at night from the hottub outside and if you’re there at the right time - catch aurora! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This guest house is set on a family-owned, working farm with animals. Central Selfoss in southern Iceland is 7 km away. WiFi, sauna and outdoor hot tub access are free.

Each fresh guest room at Lambastadir Guesthouse offers hardwood floors, a work desk, as well as a private bathroom with shower. The communal dining room features tea/coffee making facilities and a microwave.

The staff was very friendly and helpful and prepared a nice welcome package with recommendations for the area (check-in and check-out were seemless). The sauna and hot tub were clean and well-maintained, a great treat after a long day of travel. The breakfast was varied and plentiful.

    Breakfast was great. Fresh and lots of variety. Location was very central but still rural and quiet. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Loved the common rooms to gather and play cards. Loved watching the Icelandic pony being ridden on the property

    Great location, very clean, excellent social area, inside was hotter than we ever imagined, great bathroom. Stayed in three different hotels during our trip to Iceland. This was the fist also cheapest. It set the bar really high. Oh yeah and it was really quiet as well.

    Wow what a magical place! Away from everthing in a beautiful farm with vast green fields, this place a gem. Welcomed by the nicest host, the room was so cosy and charming with a perfect toilet and shower in the room, a kettle some tea and cups, and a little fridge. With a cafeteria nearby you can go to and enjoy. Great value for money!! Cant recommend this enough, just go there and enjoy.

    The guesthouse is really nice, we have enjoyed the common area with a pool table. Moreover, the breakfast is affordable and you have a good selection of toast, marmelade, cereals, waffles as well as juices. Also great location, surrounded by horses.
