A little off the beaten path, a true farmhouse where you feel like you're in the country. The staff are very friendly, and the property is very unique. We had a great dinner and our breakfast in the morning was included, and also excellent. They did have a few jacuzzis to soak in, but it was a little too cold and windy to enjoy them. We would return here again due to the uniqueness of the spot.

The location and staff was perfect!
They actually let me have my own wine too in the restaurant. The food was great, I had the carrot and lentil buff and tomato soup.
The only thing I did not like was the bathroom near the hot tubs - they were smelling sooo bad that I couldn’t even breathe inside, worse than a oublic toilet.
Is showered in my room before the hot hub instead of using the bathroom next to it

The guesthouse was located in a beautiful countryside area just a couple of miles off the main road from Myvatn. The staff was friendly, and we liked that they had postcards, stamps, and some locally made Icelandic wool sweaters for purchase. Our room was spacious and clean, and we appreciated its private bathroom. We visited the restaurant for some evening wine to relax after a day of travel, and the breakfast was tasty and convenient before we headed out to continue our adventure.

Our stay was very nice, and while it was only one night, it was the perfect stop for my girlfriend and I to stay on our trip.

Be aware that the picture on the listing is not the same as the room that we received though. We thought it would be one of the personal, detached cottages (as in the picture), but it was a room in the long buildings where there are multiple other rooms. It was still private enough with our own bathroom though, so it was still a comfortable stay.

I have never stayed in a place like this before. We were asked to take our shoes off to walk around inside and the guests mingled in the common areas - it was all very cosy and friendly. Different sections had their own bathroom, so even though we had to share we only had to share with two other rooms. The rooms were roomy and had their own sink which was nice. Comfortable beds. I would definitely recommend Stong Guesthouse

This property was really out in the middle of nowhere. It was a cute place but I wish we'd chosen something closer to everything. The room was very basic and took a while to warm up with the radiator. Those were really the only downsides. The staff was nice and the hot tubs were good. We pet some gorgeous horses coming down the driveway!

There were not a lot of options in the Myvatn area when we were there. Guesthouse Stong was away from any decent sized towns. We did not like the accommodations. Our room felt as if it was attic made into two rooms. The stairs were more like a ladder and for my wife it was difficult and nearly impossible carrying a suitcase. It was not what we expected but with that being said the room was clean, safe and the buildings appeared to be in good repair. I am sure this property will meet the needs of the majority but it was just not our type of place.

The cottages are in the midst of a farm, in a very rural setting. It is wide open with great views. The cottage was very well designed with a compact and fully stocked kitchen. There was nice warm shower with heated floors in the bathroom. There are a few cottages dotted around the property with plenty of space between. Looks just like the photo.

Great choice if you are in the area.

A comfortable little spot in the Lake region. Clean, spacious room with lovely views. Breakfast was so-so, but everything else was really nice. Friendly, helpful staff.

Nice little cottage on a farm close to Myvatn Lake. Excellent breakfast, friendly staff. We liked that the cottage had three bedrooms, though a bit small. Kitchen was well equipped. Sheep were adorable.

Cabin on a farm

Beautiful location on a working farm. Gravel road to get to it. We used the hot tub with a lovely view of the fields. Breakfast in the main guesthouse is highly recommended. There were 3 bedrooms so the children had their own room (the only time during the trip).

Nice independent cottage with a porch. Large living space. Barbecue on the porch. was a nice touch. Great setting, green expanse. Restaurant makes great food, tad expensive but worth it. Go for it.

Guesthouse Stöng and Cottages is a working farm. As a guest, you will get the sense of staying in the big farmhouse with the entire crew as farm life goes on around you. Quarters are small, oldish, and simply-furnished. Bathrooms are shared. Common areas can either be lively or deadly quiet, but rarely anything in between. This is as close to hosteling as I came to on the island. Even so, it is a uniquely Icelandic experience that I highly recommend.

This place will surprise you. Even for Iceland, it has the sense of being in the middle of nowhere. There are no shops or sights within miles of here, and upon arriving (if you did as we did, in the midst of a downpour), you may get a pang of isolation, a pang of \"Oh no, what have I done? What will I eat?\" There is a restaurant onsite that serves lamb and fish that are raised on the farm. Wine and beer are available. Your needs will be met, and met well.

It's notable that the structures that are prominent in the property description are the cottages, and not the guesthouse.

We loved the breakfasts, with homemade lamb pate and sausages as well as any other thing you might want to eat that time of day. Thought at first the location might be too far away from Lake Myvatn, but it's location was an advantage as there were no midges there, the views were peaceful and expansive, and it was totally quiet at night. We stayed in one of the motel units, a bit pricier but with our own bathroom, parking right outside the door, lots of room to spread out, and a lovely gaggle of Whooper Swans right outside as well as the occasional sheep with lambs. The staff/owners were all very nice and helpful, the place was spotless, and we'd highly recommend it to you.

Really nice and cosy place to stay! Also, ideal if you want to spot some Northern Lights. Unfirtunately, we didn't see any because there was no activity, but this is a perfect spot for it since you can see from all four sides of the house through the windows and the near area is quite dark.

Cozy Stay!

Great guesthouse and hosts! Very clean and neat. Off the highway a bit on the west side of the Lake Mývatn area so I would suggest to plan accordingly based on day activities around the lake or beyond. Restaurant was all local food, most from the the Stöng Guesthouse and breakfast was superb. Truly enjoyed the smoked lamb. They even have a special brew exclusive to the guesthouse! Hot tubs and other guests areas were spacious and enjoyable.

Nice clean room

Good location for the area and easy to find. The breakfast was great! Check-in process was easy. We were in a triple room and the size was fine. We had a shared bathroom and we never had to wait to use it. Plus, we had a basin in the room. Everything was super clean! Bed and pillow were comfy. I’d recommend this place.
However, we didn’t know about the hot tubs and nobody told us anything. It would have been nice to use them.

Close to adventure locations.

This cabin is located near a beautiful lake with miles and miles of scenery in every direction. We originally booked a room in the main building thinking we had booked a cabin. The original room had a shared bathroom. We upgrade to their best cabin and it was superb. Especially for Iceland where you never expect much for your money. I would recommend this location if you book a cabin. They also have a restaurant on site. They do offers laundry service but it is expensive. They would do one load of our clothes wash and fold for 4,000 Kronas, or it about $40. We waited until the next night and the place we booked had a free washer and dryer self service.
