Das Zimmer war klein, sauber und wohnlich eingerichtet. Sehr abgelegen und ruhige Lage. Die Aussicht war der Wahnsinn! Perfekt für Polarlichter! Kleine Schneehühner wohnen auch unter den Häuschen wohnhaft ;) Tee und Kaffee waren jederzeit verfügbar. Das Frühstück war der Wahnsinn und das Personal sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn Expedia die Rezeption als Adresse und nicht die Unterkünfte angeben würde, da wir uns erst einmal rumfragen mussten, wo wir hin müssen. Ansonsten perfekt! Gerne wieder☺️

Beware of false advertisement

Beware of this property! Coming from US and no one to check us in, only a local number that we weee to call when we arrived. Has to find a local and borrow their phone. Then to come find out the key was in the door of our hotel room and door unlocked. There was a dirty used towel on the back doorknob of the bathroom door. Private bath was a LIE! Toilet and sink only, very misleading. Sent the hotel a message but no response.

Glorified private hostel room pretending to be a bed and breakfast. The room was tiny and bathroom even smaller. The breakfast was good. But the value for money is not there. For the same price could have stayed at the hotel up the road.

Basic, comfortable place. Good breakfast. Only issue is limited check in period of 5pm to 8pm. We arrived at 8:30pm and had to look around for staff…took a while as it was dark out. No phone number in the welcome email either. Ended up having to walk over to the campground across the street to find someone to get us our key. Got worried that we’d end up sleeping in our car but got it sorted out eventually.

The B&B is simple and as others have commented the rooms are small, with all its challenges regarding ventilation etc. However, it was perfect for our needs. We were not planning to spend more time in the room than what is required for sleeping, and for that the room was perfect. Clean, comfortable beds, and great black outs. The experience was highly enhanced because the staff was very kind and helpful. And the breakfast was lovely, lots of option, good quality of food, and the views of the surrounding fields.

Comfortable rooms on Lake Myvatn

We stayed in one of the rooms, as versus the campgrounds or hostel. Very small but sufficient for our needs. Nice touch to have outdoor small table and chairs outside our door and looking into lava field. We had our laundry done as well. Breakfast good for anyone without special needs, but only place we encountered so far without alternative to cow milk, which left one of us without much to eat for breakfast. Location perfect for our wandering around the Lake and coastal areas.

Location is excellent. Staff is also friendly. However, it is too expensive for the quality of the facility. We hear all the sounds of the next room. I think this price is due to the fact that Myvatn area is very popular but few hotels.

Watch the season. We were there in August and there were a ton of what they call Midges (gnats in US). Don't bite but bad by the lake and this resort. Couldn't sit outside so bad. People wear head nets. You will have them in all areas around lake attractions. None at Myvatn Baths.

This was our second to last night on our trip. Not sure if the pix is accurate, but that is the check in place. The rooms are VERY small, and you MUST like an ammonia smell. The showers reek like you are getting a perm. The check in and check out are only for one hour in morning and one hour at night. NO EXCEPTIONS! Laundry service was expensive but available. The breakfast was typical. Avoid this place!

There was no one at reception when we arrived but we called ahead and were texted instructions. It was still confusing knowing where to go as there are several cottages and a building. Not mentioned when booking was that this is also a campsite with facilities for campers. Room was extremely small with bare necessities a bed and table. Room was very clean. We were given the impression it would be right on the lake side. Between us and the lake was the lava field, the main road and more lava field and no view of the lake. My next trip back to Iceland I will pass through and not stop at Myvatn as it doesn’t have much to offer.

Trop cher pour les prestations.

Les chambres sont réparties dans 3 bâtiments dont 2 sont séparés en 4 chambre et celui du centre accueil 2 chambre et la partie restauration. Le bon point c’est que l’on peut utiliser la partie restoration à tout moment il est donc possible de cuisiner un petit peu. Par contre notre salle de bain était propre mais santait l’humidité et l’isolation phonique est très mauvaise, on entend distinctement les personnes des autres chambres lorsqu’elle parlent.
