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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

We were greeted upon arrival by the owner of the guesthouse, Alma(I hope I am spelling your name correctly?). He offered really good advice on how we should spend our afternoon and following day. Throughout our stay he checked in with us to see how we were doing, fabulous hospitality!! The breakfast was also great, first guesthouse to have waffles :-). And finally, relaxing in the hot tub after our day of hiking hit the spot.

    The apartment is well equipped, warm, quiet and cozy. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. There is a nice view from the window to the gazing goats. The hostess leaves nearby and is very attentive and easily reachable. The apartment is within one hour of driving from the golden circle and the capital. It is an ideal place to stay for more than one night and explore the area.
