Avoid this place. Owner is on holidays and non-responsive. Her staff are quite good however unable to make decisions or solve issues without contact with owner. I feel for them as they do their best without any authority to act.

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

Beautiful property. View of the lake is amazing and serene. Comfortable beds. Great breakfast. We arrived late and were disappointed to find a tour buses parked in front of our two cabins. Recommend property asks tour buses park behind cabin to avoid obstructing view of the lake from cabins.

We liked this place a lot. The house was very clean and close to the nature spa. We had a private hot tub which we loved. The staff is very friendly and kind and they make an amazing breakfast. We enjoyed our stay here very much. They also have two hotel dogs which my kids loved. The dogs were so friendly and sweet. We walked around the complex which is located right on the lake and it was beautiful.

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!
