    Surprise place to stay

    Liked : This is a shared bathroom property, but it is ok for our condition - we have 5 people rent 2 rooms, and we have been given a full unit (2B1B)! Very lucky and thank you! Actually we did not use the shower since we used the nature bath before check-in

    Perfect location for exploring wonderful Myvatn!

    Liked : Excellent breakfast buffet each day. If you want to explore the main sights of Myvatn the location is great! It is also very close to the only grocery store in Myvatn. We had two nice rooms.

    Disliked : Quite late check-in (5 pm). Be aware that the kitchens are very small and can only accommodate one family eating at the time. We were lucky with the weather, so we could also sit out and eat. Bring earplugs as some noise travels from the hallway to the room, but the other guests were mindful of not making too much noise.
