Fantastic self contained units. One of our best accommodations in Iceland. Hot tub spa next to room was wonderful. Good size room & bathroom. Full cooking facilities were a nuce (rare) change. Nearby Myvatn valley was very interesting and enjoyable.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The host came out to greet us and we were able to check in early. Hot tub was clean and we enjoyed soaking in it after a day of hiking. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen well equipped if you want to make meals there. Cozy outdoor furniture to enjoy time outside. Walking distance to a couple of restaurants. I would stay again!

This guesthouse is amazing. I read a previous review saying food was scarce so I got sandwiches before hand. That review is totally wrong there is a restaurant 2 mins down the street and a pizza place (that is amazing) only 20 minutes away. There is also grocery 2 minutes away. I loved the room and hot tub. Perfect stay for a night!

Very nice guesthouse. Close to Godafoss. Very nicely equipped with kitchen supplies. Only negatives were - not a lot of restaurant options nearby (but the one that's there was decent), and no TV if that matters to you.

This was a fantastic place to stay for a couple nights along our journey around Iceland. This place was super clean, comfortable and quiet. The staff was very friendly. Our room had a stocked kitchen, stove and microwave and the beds very comfortable. Check-in was contactless and easy. Laugar is nice small town with a good restaurant as well and not far from Husavik where we went whale watching.

很推薦的住宿

非常棒的房間，在這裡住2晚，很乾淨、舒適，還有一個小廚房，空間很棒，2個29吋行李箱打開綽綽有餘，距離眾神瀑布大約15分鐘車程，很適合看極光，我們在這裡看到極光，立刻去眾神瀑布拍極光也來得及，到米湖約半小時照片與實際房間相同。

室内は日本人の私達には十分な広さでした。 バスルームやキッチンも清潔。自炊用のツールも清潔で、十分に揃っています。 大きな窓からは緑の林が見られて癒されます。 宿泊した日は寒くて、ホットタブは利用しませんでしたが、風景も綺麗なので、入れたら楽しいと思います。 ホテルに近い、洗練されたゲストハウスです。

Neues Apartment in guter Nähe zu den Attraktionen

Neues, schönes und sauberes Apartment. Kochplatten und Kühlschrank sowie Küchenutensilien (keine Kaffemaschine, aber Wasserkocher) vorhanden. Gemütliche Sitzecke und bequeme Betten. Gute Schallisolierung zum Nachbar-Apartment. Bad mit Dusche. Einziges Manko an der Einrichtung ist, dass es nicht geräumig genug ist, um zwei Koffer geöffnet stehen zu lassen. Kein Schrank vorhanden, so dass man die Koffer immer wieder öffnen und schließen muss. Parkplätze neben dem Haus. Supermarkt und Restaurant fussläufig erreichbar, ca. 1,5 km. Sehr gut gelegen für Ausflüge nach Husavik (Whale-watching), Akurejri und zum Thermalbad Mývatn Nature Baths. Einen Tag vor Ankunft erhält man eine E-Mail mit den Eincheck-Hinweisen. Wir würden hier wieder übernachten.
