The room was basic and comfortable and clean. We had a room with bathroom in what looked like a portable building but was actually more solid than that. The breakfast was excellent because it included locally-smoked fish and homemade jams and pate. The communal kitchen was in a neighboring building and had a bit of a hostel feel to it, but it was well-stocked and very clean. I was especially thrilled that laundry was available. You have to pay for it but then they do the laundry for you; no waiting around! And their little ice cream shop is definitely worth a stop!

The farmhouse is run by a family, and they are great hosts. There was a blizzard during our stay, and they helped us determine the quality of the roads once the storm passed. They also washed and folded our laundry for a small fee. There's a delicious free breakfast each morning with items from the farm and everything you could need to fuel a day of traveling. The host even provided us with some medication for pain when one of us needed it. They are located directly next to the craters of the lake which makes for a nice walk and right next to a hotel that you can enjoy some time at the bar after a long day if desired. Wonderful place to stay.

Linsay United States of America

The location is really great if you are coming from the geothermal pool. The cottage itself is very nicely done and has all the amenities needed. The bathroom is kept clean as well and it is quite spacious. The breakfast served in the mornings is delicious.

Akankshya United States of America

Warm floors. Beautiful place. Comfortable beds. Great breakfast and amazing staff

Kathy United States of America

The room was big and comfortable with a good view. The breakfast was excellent.

Ally2017 United States of America

This was a wonderful property with several buildings. We stayed in the larger building and had a shared bath. Everything seemed very new and well appointed. There was a beautiful large shared kitchen with comfortable seating, as well as a comfortable sitting area that also had a dining table. All with views of the countryside. There are nice walking trails right across the road through an interesting area of pseudo craters. The guest house is just minutes from many of the special areas in and around Myvatn. It is family owned and provides a most delicious homemade breakfast.

Norma United States of America

This is a wonderful family farm with a friendly dog to greet you and an ice creamery on sight to get fresh homemade ice cream. The rooms were a nice size and were comfortable. Breakfast is included and it was nice and fresh.

Jesse United States of America

The rooms and facilities are great. We loved the ice cream shop, definitely worth stopping in. Right across from the pseudo-craters of Myvatn which are picturesque. The homemade skyr was incredible!

David United States of America

Staff were very friendly and provided all the information we required. Rooms were clean, cosy, and had everything we needed for our stay. Breakfast was very lovely, with ingredients provided fresh from the farm. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Hui United Kingdom

The beds were extremely comfortable. Clean. Welcoming shower and bath. Breakfast options were vast and delicious. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful.
