Incredible Location & As Described

Checked in super late but all was good - instructions left on the counter and I found my room with no problems at all.

This is a lovely area and my room overlooked the lake, plenty of parking was available and the hotel is arranged into units so I think the idea is you drive to your room and park outside.

The room was comfortable and clean, coming with plenty of sockets to charge my electronics and a private shower room. There was lots of natural light coming through the large windows. I got a great nights sleep.

Next morning I paid for breakfast which had cereals, cold meats, coffee etc and although it was good it was a bit too fancy for my liking. The view from the conservatory in the breakfast room was stunning however.

Check out was easy, the staff were all friendly and before I knew it I was on my way. Would recommend to others, I would stay again if the price was right!

Volcano views

Great location. Awesome view of volcano from the guesthouse. Nice people working here. We booked a larger 2 bedroom unit - they said the heater was broken so they moved us to a smaller unit. Sounds awesome - of note, there was no center heat to break.. it was space heaters (so I’m guessing they gave our unit to someone else). Worked out well for us - they were very kind about it and also gave us free breakfast for this. Also wasn’t soap or shampoo in the shower - so we didn’t shower here. Property is awesome. People were kind. I’d stay here again.

The host left our key and directions to our cabin at the check in. We were pleasantly surprised by a larger cabin than we had booked. We didn’t see the host until we checked out two days later. The kitchen was functional. No towels were provided for bathing. The northern lights were visible both nights we were there.

The pictures are very misleading. You’re not in a tiny cabin, you’re in 1/4 of a tiny cabin. There’s also a picture of a hot tub, but only 1 cabin has one and access to it. I wouldn’t have booked it if the website wasn’t misleading in those ways. It was clean, but not what was advertised

I hate to give this place a bad review because the staff was so helpful and friendly but the place was way overpriced for what it was. Everything in Iceland is expensive but this was the most expensive place we stayed and definitely the oldest and most run down. Additionally, we had a cabin with a hot tub. When we arrived - they said the flies had been out so they emptied & refilled it for us (amazing service) but why didn't they have a cover for the hot tub and if flies are out in force in the summer there - why do they offer the hot tub at all? We did not use it - though we paid extra for that room. I'm not talking a few flies - they literally offered us all nets to put over our heads to wear to deal with the number of flies. Yuck! I would skip Myvatn altogether if you are going to Iceland in the summer. Stay in Husavik instead!

Decent Place in the Lake Area

We've stayed in better places while in Iceland, but it was alright. Great view from our double room 11. The rooms are small and the walls are thin. But neighbors were quiet. A very handy communal kitchen area. The place has easy access to all the sights Lake MyVatn has to offer.

Really small room

The pictures are decieving. We thought we rented a small guesthouse but actually we had a very tiny room in the back of a building with a double bed. Luckily it was only 1 night because we could have stayed there a second night. We arrived in the evening and left in the morning. The room was clean, the bathroom tiny and the small bed was suprisingly comfortable.

The cabins were OK, but they were tiny. The cabin should really be for a single, and not a double. There was no place to put anything except one small table and one chair.

What I didn't expect was the requirement to remove my shoes to eat breakfast. While I do that frequently when I'm at a friend's or relative's house, I would never do it while at a place of business, especially a place where many guests pass through. I was asked to remove my shoes and wear clogs that others had worn without cleaning. I refused, so I left and bought breakfast elsewhere. While the woman did recant after I told her this requirement was never explained anywhere prior to arrival, I was uncomfortable at that point and just left.

The Lake view cottage was very cozy and had a beautiful view of Lake Myvatn. The host Kata was really nice and accomodating. She helped us immediately when we were short a towel/sheet set after hours. The Lake view photos are accurate. What the cottage might have lacked in size it gained in view and location. Breakfast was wonderful! We loved the smoked salmon and freshly squeezed orange juice.There was no grill at our cottage (#4) but there was one in the common area - we did not cook. The washer/dryer was sufficient for our needs. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect location for aurora and night sky viewing! The property is right on Lake Myvatn and looks out in the northwest direction. No light pollution. We had our first northern light sighting here after the early evening rain and overcast cleared up--September trip.

The two-bedroom cottage has sufficient room for our family of four. The beds were large and comfortable, and the sulfur smell in the water didn't bother us. The cooking stove was a bit confusing to use, but we eventually figured it out with help of Youtube. There was no shampoo provided in the bathroom, but we were able to obtain some from the reception even at late hours.

This guesthouse scores highly on location (right on the lake and lava field), has kitchen facilities and a lounge area with great views for sitting in the evening. The downside is that the rooms are tiny. My husband and I traveled with a bag each and we had to climb over one of the bags to get to the bathroom. The bed is small too. We are not big or tall people and we had no room at all. The bed is pushed against the wall so you don’t even have room to slightly hang out of bed if needed and you need to shuffle down to get out of bed or climb over your partner to get out. The bathrooms are also tiny with a minuscule sink and towel hooks that don’t hook your towel so we ended up slinging them over the shower door. I would recommend this property on location but probably wouldn’t recommend it if you are staying (like we did) for several days as it’s simply too cramped. Can highly recommend Daddi’s Pizza and restaurant Gamli Berinn for great food and fantastic staff.

Overly rated place and Horrible service

This property is overly rated and expensive, not worth the price. It’sa smaller cabins than in pictures.
The water quality smells with too much sulphur. We checked other places for water quality and it was not that bad. When we talked to the manager, she was not cooperative, we asked if we can get refund for one of the two nights of our stay , she refused it. We didn’t have good experience with hotel staff. We ended up staying only one night and moved on, lost money on one night.

Location very near to most of the places of interest. Bed linens not so clean, got some blood stains. Toilet to small and don't have proper standing shower area as it tends to leak some water out.

OK rooms with a great breakfast

The accommodation was OK. The blinds on one of the windows didn’t work very well and it took us a while to figure it out. The rooms are a quarter of the size of the “cottages” and a lot of noise can be heard from the adjacent rooms. The rooms itself smelled a little like a public toilet when we entered (or maybe it was the sulphuric water smell).

Breakfast was excellent! Very redeeming.

Absolutely stunning location right along the lake but I came in late, wasn't able to easily get in touch with anyone at the hotel, and also had serious issues with the wifi all night long. The breakfast was delicious though. Best I've had my entire two weeks in Iceland.

This place was very cozy (tight) for our family of 4 (2 adults 2 kids under 4). But it was clean and had everything we needed. Working kitchen, all supplies, and a crib. Breakfast was also very good, one of the best we had on our road trip around the country.

With kitchen, utensils and a small refrigerator as well as private bathroom. There is a smell from the water drainage (from sulfur / geothermal environment (but I guess the owner can’t do anything with it as it is what is being in the area. It only smells if you water running to the drainage, other than that, we had a good night sleep. Breakfast is great. It is nice to embrace the culture as well as their food but my kids ( 17 and 11) were so happy to see that they served waffles. We are on a 10 day trip and sometimes you just missed the food that you are used to thus it really made their day. I would highly recommend this place- we are a family of 4 and we rented the small cottage good for 5. It has a bedroom, shower, small dining area and a kitchen with complete utensils even oil, sugar, salt and pepper (though we did not use these).

Value for money?

After I stayed here for 2 nights, I would think perhaps it is better to stay during winter for the aurora lake view than to stay during summer (where there may be better and cheaper choices like Fosshotel).

You will see the price is not cheap and for my case it's much more expensive than Fosshotel.
And the worst is the sulphur smell in the drinking water, bath water. I wonder if there is a way to resolve this as I don't seem to find the same issue when I dined in Fosshotel.

Apart from that, for this price, you have a room without TV, a Wifi that was not working, and the breakfast is a very simple one without any hot food.

I have to say the people the family are very nice, I just think there can be better choice with what you are to pay.
