West Rangá Lodge is located on a river close to Vik. It is renown for salmon fly fishing. We were only there for one night, but were able to see a fisherman catch a salmon. We went down the road to see the fish ladder that is used for the fish to climb in order to spawn. We enjoyed the clean room and amenities. Breakfast was delicious.

Our reservation was overlooked and our room was not ready and had to wait over an hour to have staff clean a room. Despite this, the stay was still very good with beautiful surroundings and a delicious breakfast. Would stay there again for sure.

Wonderful place

Awesome location and great service. Communication upon check-in could have better regarding available amenities/meals. Bedding was not the most comfortable with a warmer room temperature. There was also a mixup regarding being double charged for a room, still pending resolution. But otherwise, a wonderful place to stay.

Outstanding stay!

Our stay was incredible! When we arrived, there was a bit of a snafu and no one was there. I called the number on the booking and the owner (I am assuming) apologized and said she had sent an email asking when we would be arriving (I had missed the email). She said they had actually closed the lodge for the season a few days prior, but because of a mix up with Expedia, our reservation snuck through. She sent someone to unlock the lodge for us within minutes, and then Lillia showed up shortly after that to check us is. Lillie was a dream! She was so friendly and helpful and took amazing care of us. She made us a wonderful breakfast each morning and coffee was always ready when we woke up. She had lots of suggestions of things to do and was very helpful. The lodge is gorgeous with lots of comfortable places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. The dining room is beautiful with an amazing view of the river. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Location was convenient to all the south coast waterfalls and activities. Will definitely stay here again if I ever return.

An excellent choice

The West Ranga Lodge is in a fantastic location on a river. It is conveniently in between the Golden Circle and Vik. The views from the breakfast and common rooms are gorgeous. Our host was very friendly and accommodating. Breakfasts met all our needs with hot and cold options. Our room was clean, comfortable and had a nice sitting area. Everything was in a Scandinavian minimalist style. The shower was very good. The only minor complaint was that the bathroom sink was too small for face washing. This is our 4th trip to Iceland and we would definitely recommend The West Ranga lodge.
Our morning entertainment from breakfast.
At Skogafoss go to the top and keep walking.  It’s amazing.

La temperatura exterior estaba en 9 grados centígrados lo que esperas cuando llegas a un hotel es sentir la calidez por el frío exterior Cuando camine a mi habitación me percaté que todas las habitaciones vacías estaban con las ventanas abiertas incluyendo la mía Nuestra habitación estaba helada La habitación no tenía calefacción en la habitación me llevaron un calenton que no funcionó como esperaba Iba en un viaje en familia con mi pequeña de 2 años lo cual no fue agradable Se pueden encontrar mejores opciones a precio más accesible
