Guest Reviews

• HOK WAI (10/5): - 面向米湖，景色超迷人，是欣賞日落的極佳位置。 沒有洗衣機。
• Albert (8/5): -
• Kilian (10/5): Mit sehr viel Liebe hergerichtet. Gerne wieder! - Wegen starkem Schnee und Wind wurde für uns den Weg auf unsere gewünschte Zeit frei geräumt.
• Yi-Lin (9/5): - 房間佈置非常舒服，暖氣很快就溫暖起來，廚具與用品非常齊全（有橄欖油可以使用！） 門口與陽台積雪沒能處理比較可惜
• NÚRIA (7/5): -
• Leif (10/5): Cute homey stay - Homey, warm, and clean. The receptionist was very kind and came over very quickly in the middle of a snow squall to get us checked in at 7:30pm. Plowed very well too even all the way at the end of the property! Nothing
• Anne (10/5): Ultra cosy dans la campagne islandaise - Incroyable vue, des très grandes fenêtres qui ouvrent sur un très beau panorama. La tranquillité, bungalow très bien chauffé. C’était top !!

• Michael (9/5): Sehr empfehlenswert, aber nicht ganz günstig. - Schönes und ausreichend geräumiges Cottage, wir wurden auch sehr nett empfangen. Gute Lage an der Ringstraße 1. Es war schön ruhig.
• Cassandra (9/5): Such a cute cosy place, and the staff was incredibly nice and helpful - It was incredibly cute and comfortable. It was hard to figure out the heat to get it at a good temperature. It was either too hot or too cold but overall that was a small issue.

• Yanji (10/5): 晚上看到极光，太棒了。 - 房间灯坏了

• Beatriz (10/5): Exceptional - Very spacious and comfortable.
• Eryl (9/5): Superb - Friendly and helpful staff, who came out after hours with spare key when we locked ourselves out! Peaceful location with great views. Within easy driving distance to many sights/activities. Very comfortable beds. Enjoyed the experience of a traditional log cabin. Great living space for a family or group of friends. Looking out of the cottage window with a coffee in the morning or evening was my favourite part.
• Jernej (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect! Very clean and well equipped. Fantastic views.
• Michael (10/5): - Sehr schön!
• Stv (10/5): Exceptional -
• Benjamin (9/5): Superb -
• Lau (10/5): Beautiful view. Lovely house - Amazing place. We don’t even wanna leave the house.
• Marie (9/5): Superb -
• Ekaterina (2/5): - Horrible management. If you have any issues, they will never compromise. Once they got your money they won't communicate. Don't ever stay there
• Evelyn (10/5): Exceptional - Great facilities, great design, comfortable and spacious space, lovely few, quiet. Cant recommend more
• Hasini (10/5): Great stay! Lovely Aurora’s - Great stay, lovely cottage. Customer service was great. They even cleaned the roads of snow every morning to get the cars out.
• Markus (9/5): Cosy base-camp on Mývatn - Perfect setting - a bit elevated over the lava field with view over Mývatn. The cottages are tastefully furnished and you really feel comfortable -
• Christopher (8/5): - Nice wooden cottage in nice surroundings with a beautiful view. Kitchen has everything you need besides a spatula. It was very clean. Check in and out was easy. Towels got changed the next day, which is a plus. The cottage was warm and comfortable during our stay in November. Only con we have is that the beds were too soft and that the laminate in the bathroom is a bit swollen. Moreover the bedrooms could have been a bit more spacious. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.
• Louis (10/5): - We rented the cottage for one night. It was a short stay. It really is a cottage out in the middle of nowhere. But the cottage is fully equipped with kitchen, and we were able to see some northern lights. Enjoyed the stay.
• Lita (10/5): - Virkelig en dejlig stor hytte/sommerhus. Flot indrettet. Fint nemt at tjekke ind. Den bedste udsigt ud over søen og bjergene i baggrunden.
• Amir (9/5): Superb - Location View
• C (8/5): The cabin was nice and spacious for our family of 4. - I prefer getting a door code so I'm not limited to the time I can check in to the cabin. Please add screened windows. The cabin was hot during the day and due to the midges, we couldn't open the windows to let the cool air from outside circulate.
• Kelly (10/5): - This cabin is truly and Iceland experience. It is set off in a quiet location with amazing views. Checking in was simple and the cabin had everything we needed to shower, cook and relax. It was spacious with a large living area and a large deck. There were two bedrooms and we comfortably fit as a couple with two teenagers. It was minutes away Myvatn Nature baths and other great sites. There was a couple of places to eat and grab snack nearby.
• Svanhildur (7/5): Good -
• John (10/5): Exceptional - The location and views were very good. The room was really cosy on such a cold 4 deg day. Nothing.
• Barbara (9/5): Nice view from the room! - Nice view of Mývatn lake, nice to have a living room area, comfortable beds. Rooms were small to open our suitcases but we put them in the living room with no problem.
• Eric (10/5): Exceptional - Location, view, very comfortable
• Amir (1/5): Avoid if you like pleasant room temperatures without mosquitos. Poor facilities and client service - Unfortunately had a very bad experience here. Upon arriving at 7 PM the cottage felt like it was 27 degrees. We found all of the heaters were turned to their maximum. Opening the windows to cool down the place wasn't an option either, since the house is surrounded my mosquitos/flies and others insects. After sitting down and the chair and it breaking down I felt like we had suffered enough and I contacted the owner to find a resolution. Her reply was that we should just open the windows, because the mosquitos "wouldn't come in", and if they did "they wouldn't bite". I wasn't willing to take that gamble so I booked another hotel nearby. It was a very disappointing experience that the owner and maintenance lady didn't show any consideration for the unpleasantry and acted like it was very normal to sleep in 27 degrees or with a house full of insects. No alternative was provided at all. Additionally, the patio was full with bird poop, and the barbecue couldn't be used due to the amount of corrosion. The place has potential, but with suck a lack of love and care for the facilities and a total lack of client service, it was a very disappointing experience for €440 per night.
• Hains (8/5): Nice house and great living room with views. - Nice living room area and very warm. House was nice and well maintained. It was very windy the whole time which could just be the area of having the house higher up. Bedrooms are very tight with hardly room for our backpacks.
• Elizabeth (1/5): Bad -
• David (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chia (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel provides good service with helping the clothes washing. And u could easily pick up in the day. Soooo nice!
• Rinda (10/5): - We loved this property. It was clean, comfortable and convenient to shops and good restaurants. We wish we could have stayed in the area longer.
• Richard (8/5): Very good -
• Sin (10/5): Exceptional - The interior of the house is definitely good for stay. Good design and beautiful The places had lots of flies outside. But all the places nearby happened.
• Hannah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Patricia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gabriela (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing! Everything was great
• Michèle (8/5): Very good -
• Shuming (9/5): highly recommended - full equipped kitchen nice environment staff service excellent shower room is too limited double bed kind of a little bit hollow and the room space is too small the price quite expensive
• Lucinda (9/5): Great experience. Thank you. -
• Yew Peng (10/5): - The property was great! It was nice and cozy and had everything we needed. We even had a great view of the Northern Lights! The owner was fantastic too, despite us arriving late for check in due to unforeseen circumstances, the owner was very accommodating and even led us to our cottage with her car
• Jesmond (8/5): Lucky enough to see norther light. - Location dark enough to see night sky. Small rooms.
• Ruairi (9/5): Lovely chalet stay - Lovely chalet. Very nicely decorated with a great view out (although it was extremely cloudy all evening so we didnt see much!). Had everything we needed for the evening. Main bedroom was a little small (only 1 side can be accessed) and the water smelled like sulphur - however we note this is the same all through the Myvatn area, so not a criticism!
• Shermine (9/5): Superb -
• Chun (8/5): Very good - Like the environment which fully covered with snow. Facilities are sufficient; enabling us to cook a decent meal. Nice platform for us to watch the northern lights A bit scary as we were unable to find our accommodation. Path leading to our cottage was covered with snow and our vehicle almost stuck in the snow
• Beth (10/5): Exceptional - The cottage was HYGGE! completely cosy and perfectly decorated, with a beautiful view out the front windows. The kitchen was fully equipped. We loved it here! The bed was a bit uncomfortable and very narrow, in the bedrooms was very little space so we stored our suitcases in the living room.
• Axl (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stylianos (10/5): Excellent views - Outstanding views from within the appartment,clean,warm,,friendly staff. When in Iceland we stayed in 10 different hotels.I think this one was overpriced. One of the two bedrooms was small enough,suited just for the bed.
• Ng (10/5): Exceptional - very spacious, clean and tidy. Nice environment, comfortable bed.
• Siewhuang (4/5): Expensive for a very basic accommodation - The size of the cottage is spacious 2 persons -Both rooms are very small, no luggage space nor luggage rack -kitchen has no paper towels, and they expect you to wash all the dishes and put them back like you found it - the walls are thin, you can hear the next room clearly - hot tub is very dirty, dirt, sand and hair floating in it
• Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional -
• ליאל (10/5): Exceptional -
• Martin (8/5): Nice place worth of visit - Excellent location and great service. Water in bathroom was very sulphuric.
• Sandeep (8/5): Enjoyed the stay - Very good size cottage and it was clean. WiFi was great! Cottage was warm and controlling the heat was not straightforward.
• Tonghui (9/5): Superb -
• Aftab (7/5): Good -
• Kathryn (2/5): Greta location, clean cottage. - All good, no problem with midges when we stayed at end of July. great location for exploring all the sights in the surrounding area and 1hr from Husavik for whale watching.
• violaine (10/5): Parfait et douillet - Très bien placé ! Charmant chalet avec possibilité de dormir à 6 au moins. Très bien chauffé !
• Logan P. (10/5): Fantastic Cottage in Myvatn - Stayed here on a guys trip with 4 of us - would highly recommend!
• SwimMom (10/5): - Our cottage was very spacious and clean. We were able to cook a nice meal using the oven and enjoyed the beautiful view of the mountains. The beds were comfortable and the shower was hot (smelled a little like sulphur). Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling the ring road.
• JULIO (10/5): Encantadora cabaña - Cabaña de madera, espaciosa. Habitaciones pequeñas, pero cómodas (el colchón bueno para descansar). Limpieza OK. Baño pequeño pero limpio. Cocina amplía y bien equipada (aunque la tostadora necesita un cambio ya). Vistas al lago Myvatn, se ven los pseudocráteres en la lejanía. A mis pequeñas les encantó la zona abuhardillada que tiene la cabaña. Enchufes en gran número para recargar los dispositivos de toda la familia. Personal de recepción amable y atento. En una palabra, encantadora. Repetiríamos sin duda.
