This property is mainly for campers, with common showering facilities. Our room did include a toilet and sink. It is in a very rural area.

Thanks for your review. The property is not mainly for campers, the cottage is only for the accommodation and the kitchen too, showers are shared. The accommodation is nr. 1 but the campsite is an extra activity over the summer, and number 2. We are in rural area yes, we are in the countryside ;)

Elsa is an excellent host for her clients. The room feels like a home and it’s clean. Elsa also provides some basic utensils in the kitchen and some simple bread and pastes for the breakfast. The only issue for us is the shared shower which is distance from our room and walking on the grass outside is some inconvenience for us. Thank you, Elsa!

Elsa was a remarkable host. From the moment we arrived until the day of our departure, she went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. She took the time to share her knowledge of the area and provided us with insider recommendations. The apartment was not only impeccably clean but also thoughtfully designed, creating a cozy and inviting environment. We are grateful for her hospitality and look forward to returning in the future.

Mjoanes accommodation was an amazing stay. Room was clean, property is amazing, and a perfect getaway. We arrived in the middle of snowstorm. Elsa (host) took care of us like a family, extended our stay by few hours and ensured our safety (clearing snow, road conditions update, continuous checking in) before we continue our further journey.. This is the exact homestay every one looks for…..it really touched our heart… thank you! Last but not least homemade bread was tasty !!

We stayed in one of the lovely cottages. Very comfortable and in a quiet area. The perfect place to watch the stars. There is a small fridge in the cottage, toilet and a sink. The showers and kitchen are located in a separate building, they were very clean. A fresh bread was kindly prepared for us in the morning. The hosts were very friendly and made us feel at home.

A great quaint little guest house with great and friendly hosts. Doesn't include actual breakfast but there was bread, butter, jam, and cheese out in the morning, plus an equipped kitchen if you want to make your own food. Great to have laundry, hot tub, and sauna on site that they were happy to show us how to use. Plus two adorable dogs to hang out with. Walls are a bit thin so we heard someone snoring one night. Great location a bit outside of Egilstadir but nearby some great hiking - the waterfall circle and Hengifoss.

A very pleasant place to stay
An interesting farm with a lot to do: see Elsa's artwork and sheepskins, play darts and pool, play the piano, use the hot tub or the sauna, and play with the dogs. Elsa was super nice and it was very pleasant talking with her and learning about the farm's history and her own travels. She lives on the 2nd floor above the guest rooms. We especially liked the calm atmosphere, the homely feeling and the well equipped kitchen.

It is a very warm and lovely guesthouse. It is decorated with different artistic stuff, and very beautiful. The host is very friendly and showed us around her farm and barn, which is a perfect place of a wedding party. The breadfast bread tastes good. Kitchen and washroom are clean. It is the most satisfied guesthouse I have been in Iceland. If you drive, I highly recommend you to choose this guesthouse, as the price is also very reasonable.

Very clean, nice updated rooms and bathrooms. One bathroom with a shower & one without made it so no one was waiting for the bathroom. Loved that there was a shower schedule on the door. Homemade bread was nice but was expecting more than just the bread since it listed "breakfast included". Couldn't get coffee maker to work.

We stayed in a beautiful little cabin w/ our own bathroom. The kitchen was located in an old barn that was quaint. There were extra toilets and showers next to the barn. This is the 3rs generation to live on the property, a bit out of town but not a big deal. Top 2 of 10 places we stayed on our trip! Highly recommend!!

An excellent stay at a great rate. The host went out of her way to make us comfortable. We were initially concerned about the shared bathroom, and while the shower could have used an additional light, overall everything was very clean and tidy. The hostess also had a system prepared to manage bathroom time if there had been a need. The hospitality was fabulous, and we enjoyed the homemade bread and animals at this great accommodation, a few minutes drive from Egilsstadir.
