No refrigerator in the room. The abondance of small flies the minute you stepped outside. Didn’t feel confortable to even open the windows in the room,despite reassurances from the staff that they wouldn’t fly inside . The hot water has a very strong smell to it,to which i could not get used to.this is area driven,not hotel particular,but it had a high impact on our stay. Due to accomodating a large group,as of 6.30pm the restaurant switched from an ‘a la carte’ to a ‘buffet’ setup,which we found to be very expensive. You’re better off to eat elsewhere (5min away there’s a very nice one). All in all it would have been a better idea to book elsewhere,further away from the lake and its flies. North of the lake seemed less popular among these creatures. For what it charges per night and conditions stated above, i would not stay here again.
The room we stayed in was a refurbished one,so things looked nice inside,but no refrigerator. Breakfast was varied,but average.

The flies in the area although I believe this is all around Lake Myvatn.
We really liked the view from our window of the psuedo craters. They were amazing to see. The breakfast was good. The hotel is about 15 minutes from Jardbadsholar nature baths.

Affordable option to share a room for a group of 4 but tight quarters indeed. Open concept shower made the whole room wet if you aren't careful.
Beautiful property right beside the pseudo craters - not much else within walking distance, but everything around the lake is fairly limited and spread out. Staff was INCREDIBLY friendly and accommodating and absolutely made our stay. The dinner buffet is pricey but a worthwhile indulgence if you are hungry and want to try a great variety of traditional foods.

The service at reception was outstanding. The room was very spacious, clean and the view of the lake was great. The tube was big and the hot water supplied by a geothermal fountain of the property was excellent.
