Lysuholl

We did a multi-hour horse tour here. The scenery was stunning and the horses were well taken care of and trained. Unfortunately the ‘tour guide’ was absolutely terrible. Her name was Yasmin (sp?) from the Netherlands. We were surprised she said she knew nothing about the ranch, the family, the horses or the local area when we asked. She had no real instructions and was silent during the 2-1/2 hour ride. She only answered questions with a yes, no, or usually an ‘I don’t know’. She was cold, rude, and seemed to dislike questions. She seemed like doing a tour was an inconvenience. She acted bothered to take a few pictures of us, never offered to take a photo, and started taking pictures before we were in position so the pictures ended up being terrible. Yasmin also checked her phone every 3 minutes or so. This experience really left a negative impression with us even though the setting and horses were beautiful. Yasmin needs to find a summer job outside of tourism or anything customer facing. After we dismounted, she walked away with the horses and never made eye contact nor said thank you nor goodbye. Suggest doing some type of social / communication assessment before hiring.

Of my nine days in Iceland, this was the the best meal I had. Great tasting homemade food from a warm and welcoming host. Cannot beat the hospitality and at home feel you get from here. The views are spectacular!

Came here for a late lunch/early dinner on a Snaefellsnes peninsula tour. What a lovely meal! The food was hot and comforting; lots of pasta and sauces to choose from and the pork was delicious. The cake for dessert was delightful as well. The staff was nice and seemed to really enjoy meeting us.

My visit to Lysuholl was a delightful experience! The ambiance of this place is incredibly cozy, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere that truly feels like home. The host's politeness added an extra layer of comfort, making the visit truly enjoyable. The highlight of my visit was the outstanding homecooked meal. Served with care and attention, the flavors were both delightful and authentic—a true reflection of Icelandic hospitality. If you're looking for a welcoming destination with a gracious host and exceptional home-cooked cuisine, Lysuholl is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Lysuholl was the most incredible attraction on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. They provided a buffet-style dinner (best gravy I've ever had). Rooms were spacious and gave us an incredible view of the northern lights. Horseback tour to the beach was also phenomenal. I highly recommend visiting here!
