Everything was great except for a few flies in the room. Since the hotel is surrounded by open fields, it’s somewhat understandable. It would be helpful if the hotel installed bug zappers or other effective measures to keep the flies under control. Overall, we had a pleasant stay.

We had a lovely stay in the share house. The bedroom was large and clean and the shared bathrooms were spotless. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our dinner but was wishing we had booked into the onsite restaurant as it looked amazing. Made it in time for happy hour which was perfect after a big day of driving.

This property was perfect for our group of seven. It’s spacious with plenty of room to move around, and the kayak, cold plunge, and hot tub were major highlights. You can also see sheep and horses on the property. We do wish laundry detergent was included with the property and wished the hot tub on the property worked, but it was out of order. Nearest grocery store is ~30 min away, so if you plan on cooking make sure to get your groceries ahead of time.

I stayed in the shared accommodation area, so had a small room with two beds and a common bathroom and kitchen. Room was small, but fine, and the kitchen is very well equipped. I ended up using the refrigerator to store some breakfast supplies, as I had an early morning hike planned. I was a bit worried about a shared bathroom, but it worked out fine, and the facilities are very nice. The spring fed hot tub was great after a day hiking, as was the natural cold plunge. I ate at the restaurant the night I arrived, and the meal was excellent. Would definitely stay again.

Amazing property. The facilities and property are top notch. The restaurant is fantastic. I would recommend eating breakfast at the restaurant as there are not great options moving into the Peninsula. The rooms were impeccable. Clean, modern, top notch. Wish we would have stayed longer.

We were given two cot-sized twin beds in a hot attic room with sloped ceilings. My husband could not stand up. We could not stand in the shower. The walls were paper thin and the thin wooden doors that banged were very loud. We think the space was designed for a single family but they split it up into 3 separate rooms. We did not sleep well and I woke up with a back spasm. One toilet for 6 adults is not sufficient. They need to decide if they are a hotel or a summer camp.

We arrived later in the evening and easily checked in at the restaurant. Online it says something about checkin only being from 4-6 but the restaurant is open late (there were guests eating there when we arrived) so I'm not sure if that's correct or why it would be the case. Upon arrival, we quickly dropped off our belongings in the room & headed to the sauna & thermal bath. The sauna wasn't hot but the thermal bath was very nice (again, not too hot but nice). The facilities by the sauna were in good condition to change/shower. When we returned to our room we realized someone had left our window open and there were TONS of little nats/mosquitoes (not sure what they're called but they BITE) flying around the window and bed by the window. I started getting bitten instantly. Normally I would have called a hotel office to see if there was an alternative arrangement or a solution (bug spray?) but by this time, it was after 10 and there is a rule that you pay $100 to call for any issue other than an extreme emergency (like a fire). We didn't know if this qualified or if we'd be charged so we closed the window & curtains (which makes the pretty view & window pointless) & spent the rest of the evening lying completely under the covers & still somehow getting bitten by the bugs that remained in the room. It was impossible to get them out. Just as disappointing was our shower experience. It's too short to stand in. At checkout, the girl didn't really seem to care.. not cool at all.

The smallest room I've ever been in my life. I guess apartments have better comments, I did not get to see one. We stayed in a house with at least 8 bedrooms, all depending on 1 shared bathroom for men and one for women. If you only have 2, you should not label them \"men\" and \"women\", let people use any of them. This is an issue unless you are willing to wake up earlier when everyone is sleeping, that's what we did.

Breakfast was not included but we decided to pay for it. The staff is not paying much attention to restocking pastry, coffee and other items (variety is not much anyway). At first, I thought they did it on purpose, so you don't eat much, but even though new guests were coming they did not move fast enough to brew fresh coffee or bring more food. Breakfast was $31 per person, expensive as expected in Iceland, but quantity and quality are not worth it.

Guests love the geothermal area, but don't let this distract you from the other things you don't get. On a positive note, this could be your option to lower hotel costs at the end of the Ring Road adventure, that's the way we saw it!

The only thing I would recommend is a better shower curtain in the shared bathroom at ommuhus since people on the street can see into the shower. Overall the hotel is a great option!

We stayed here for one night as we toured through Iceland. I wish we had longer, as the property is pretty with sheep roaming around. It was fun to hear \"baaa\" outside of our windows during the night! The common area was sufficient for our family of four adults. Parking was next to building, and sidewalk was smooth to roll suitcases to the end unit. The ~24 hrs of sunlight gave us extra time to see the sights as we passed through, This place is incredibly quiet, and I felt guilty making noise as we came in at midnight and left early the next morning. If your crowd is rowdy, it is something you may want to consider. We did not get a chance to try the restaurant, and I was sad that it didn't work out. Everything looked wonderful. Everything was beautiful and clean, and we would stay again on our next trip through Iceland.

There are several layers of accommodations. Ours was the lowest level. You get what you pay for, although when booking I was unaware. The rooms are ridiculously small. Shared bathroom with maybe 6-8 other rooms.
The restaurant was closed, not their fault the Chef was sick, but the restaurant Vegimót across the street was good.
All the peninsula’s sights were easily accessible by car.

This was our favorite place we stayed at while visiting Iceland. The staff and property were wonderful. Rooms were spacious and well-stocked. Very comfortable beds and amenities. There was nearby hiking, a playground, a hot tub, and a pond on the property. We loved seeing the sheep that roamed the property. The food was excellent, especially the lamb and wine! We would have adjusted our trip schedule if we had known how much we would love the property. I highly recommend staying at this resort and hope to visit again soon. Our place also had a laundry machine, which was very useful. Very clean rooms and a well-maintained property. The staff was really great, and we enjoyed talking with them.

Two things that would have made it perfect: Real coffee in the room to go with the French press they provide and paper towels.

Hotel asked me to pay a broken lid damaged by othe

After we checked out, the hotel charged us 4000 isk for an old broken pot lid which was not broken buy us. The hotel did send me a photo showing 3/5 of the broken lid. The broken lid looks very old and must broken many time before (photo attached). The metal frame of the lid already bent maybe long long ago.

I explained that we didn’t broken the lid and told them that we only put the lid in the dishwasher. But they didn’t reply my message.

Perfect for a family with a toddler. It was a large house that we stayed at and had so many activities.

This property was easily my favorite out of the 5 places we stayed. The property itself was fantastic, they had everything you needed there. The restaurant was wonderful, we got the fish of the day and the parmesan soup, it was great. Then the room was exactly what we needed, the shared kitchen was amazing with the designated drawers for each rooms food and the cleanliness. We also used the laundry room while we were there which was very convenient. Then there was the thermal bath and saina area. We did not use the sauna, but the thermal bath and cold plunge area was extremely nice, along with the changing area, very clean and they also had hot water out there to shower in before and after the thermal bath. Overall I would highly recommend the facility.

The restaurant was delicious and accommodating (especially breakfast). The hot springs were glorious and while I didn’t cold plunge in the pond, others did and it was scenic and wonderful.

Beautiful hot tub and setting. A bit noisy in the shared guesthouse, kinda a high end hostel. Decent kitchen but broken toaster. The staff wasn’t conscientious of guests. The fridge was defrosting and leaking in the floor. Felt like a bit of a money grab—have to pay for hot tub towels for instance. But overall pleasant.

The property had a nice layout and a beautiful view as well. The cabins are very nice and had good kitchens. Was able to see the Northern Lights, which were fantastic. Only issue - if you could even call it that - was that checkout was at 10 and no one was at reception (building locked) so we had to just leave the key in the cabin.

I came in early winter. Very much the low season. In winter the place feels truly remote, a refuge from the world, which is what I came for. There are a couple easy thing they can do for low-season guests below.

The building interior was nice and warm. It was a very nice refuge from the cold, The room was so warm that even with the thermostat all the way down I was overheating until I cracked a window. Yes, in an Icelandic winter. The hot bath is the highlight of the property and my main reason to go there.

I didn't quite understand that breakfast had to be pre-ordered. This makes sense, especially in the low season, but I don't remember if this was in the welcome message. Can there be an option when signing up to pre-order for the first morning? Or... we might order ahead for some groceries to be left in the kitchen: muesli or some such. Hostel stuff.

Also for winter: I really recommend better lighting by the geothermal pool... maybe just low-power path lighting to make it easier to find your way from the pool to the showers or sauna after sunset. Twice I wanted to use the sauna but didn't because I couldn't see the way to get to it.

This was our favorite place that we stayed while on vacation in Iceland. The views were fantastic, the kids could walk to the park, and we could walk to the geothermal bath on the property. The rental itself had everything we needed. If we come back to Iceland, we will be staying here.

Received multiple contradictory check in instructions. It was unclear that we were renting a room and not an apartment in a hostel situation. Rules with fees posted everywhere which felt incredibly unwelcoming. Fees to use basic facilities we were expecting. Would not recommend if you have better options.

Loved our 2br appt with laundry attached. We checked in at the restaurant after hours at 9:40pm, smooth and kind. We were only there for under 12hrs as check out is at 10am. We were bummed when we saved showers for our stop in the hot spring only to be told that the hot spring was an additional fee for each of us. We skipped it. I think you should include the fee in the stay, even if you increase the overnight price.

The place is a gem! Exquisite, well taken care of property with many conveniences. To start, the cabins are all new and extremely clean. We loved that there was a bed for each of our 5 family members, and very cool that they can accommodate larger groups in larger cabins. The views were magnificent, and we loved that there were sheep on the property. The sauna was beautiful and the surrounding stream was very peaceful. The food at the restaurant was A , but pricey. I guess this is to be expected in Iceland. The restaurant itself had a lot of personality! We would definitely come here again and highly recommend.

Would Not Recommend at all

The room was fine, but all the other aspects are terrible. The hotel sent me 2 identical check in instructions after I made the reservation and on the day of the reservation saying that it's a self check-in process and a map of the resort. We followed the instructions: my name will be on the window of the main door of the room and the room will be open after 4 pm, but there was no name all at the house , the door was NOT open either. We thought we messed up our room number and followed the instructions again that we could find a room number list inside the greenhouse. There was NO room number list in the greenhouse. I called the front desk and the reception asked me to go to the restaurant. We went to the place labeled as \"breakfast\" on the map provided by the hotel, the place was not the restaurant. We had to drive around the resort to find the restaurant. I am amazed that every single check-in detail provided by the resort is completely wrong.
We had dinner at the restaurant. There were only 3 groups of people at the time, yet it took them 50 minutes to get our food. The food wasn't great either. The beef tenderloin was overcooked, and it tasted gamey. We also ordered a lobster bisque, and it was supposed to have bread coming along with the soup, yet the bread came 5 minutes after the soup was served, and it was darn cold. With the quality being so low, the food was surprisingly expensive. It was around the same price as a fancy fine dining restaurant in Reykjavík.

Initially greeted by the chef that was welcoming and went out of his way to show us to our room and inspect the cleanliness. The premises was clean, very modern, and had all the needed amenities including a geothermal pool, full kitchen, and multiple bathrooms. We also went to the dinner buffet which was amazing. Although a bit pricey at around 6,000 isk/ person, the quality and sheer quantity was well worth the price. Kudos to the chef and staff!

Very pleasant visit

Very clean and updated property with a fun trampoline for the kids (or kids at heart). Kitchen was well equipped.
Laundry machine was in the unit. Dinner buffet was very nice. We enjoyed the tranquility and the sunset. I did not like that there was a pretty steep charge of 1500 ISK for a towel for the pool (you are not allowed to use room towels). I ended up opting not to use it because of the extra cost.

I find it strange that they did not provide hairdryer & when I asked for it, they said it’s because guests have taken it in the past. So hairdryers are only upon request now! Their heaters were installed on the floor & too warm for summer. When asked how to adjust, they responded to just open the windows. During the night, the bedrooms became a bit too warm. Other than that, still a great place to stay as the amenities are well maintained & place very spacious. We like the patio where we could sit outside.

We loved the location and the accommodations. The apartments were incredible. We have no complaints with the service, but did miss having a chance to interact with anyone. Having self check-in & checkout and a phone number to call if we needed anything made it seem more like a self-catered apartment than a resort or a farm stay.

Gorgeous property and location. Even though it’s remote it’s well located and conveniently for exploring the peninsula. Nice decor and well stocked kitchen. The in-room sink was appreciated. It would have been even better if there was an additional powder room with toilet as one bathroom for showering and toilet amongst 6 adults made for congested evenings and mornings when everyone is trying to leave around the same time. But on the whole the property was outstanding and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to friends and family.

A Fantastic place to stay and enjoy

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Lava Water. The location is wonderful for restfulness, yet in a great location to explore all of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. You'll want to spend two or three nights there to visit everything in the area. Our spacious two bedroom apartment just could not have been nicer or cleaner. We enjoyed a tour of the sheep and horse part of the farm, and great conversations with the friendly and fun Anna. We also were lucky enough to see the Aurora Borealis on Aug 31. What a special summertime treat that was! Restaurant Tip: Drive 37 kms to Stykkishólmur and have one of the best seafood meals of your life (especially the unbelievably flavorful steamed mussels cooked to absolute perfection) at Sjávar Pakk Húsiđ.
