“Best stay in Iceland!”
This was the best stay we had in Iceland. The cosy log cabin nestled in the mountains was absolutely charming — clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed. The host was incredibly welcoming, treating us to delicious homemade cakes and cookies. She thoughtfully alerted us to the appearance of the Northern Lights at night. This is a great place to view the northern lights with minimal light pollution. Can't recommend this enough.

“Gorgeous, cosy cottage. A real find”
Gorgeous cottage amongst lovely gardens. Very clean and cosy cottage that had a great kitchen to cook in, complete with fridge, stove top and an airfare too. Lovely hosts who made us fresh biscuits and home made slice. Cereals supplied for breakfast. Clean bathroom and fluffy towels. Would definately stay again

“Wonderful stay in a lovely cottage”
Wonderful stay in a lovely cottage, spacious, very well equipped, very kind owner and a worm welcome with a plate or homemade delicious cookies. One of our suitcases did not arrive upon landing in Iceland. The owner kindly agreed to receive it for us a day before we arrived to stay.

“Amazing, super cottage”
A must-stop during the ring road. The most beautiful cottage where we stayed: spacious, all amenities available, cookies offered, very kind owner. Too bad we only stayed one night, I hope to come back one day.

“Cozy little cabin/cottage”
Lovely little cottage, big windows with good blinds, very cosy. The owner was very friendly; even bought us some baked snacks (which we very rudely didn't eat because of dietary reasons). Had everything we needed; wished we could have stayed longer. Straightforward heating in the cottage (just adjust radiators).

Cosy little gem during our only night in north Iceland. Very comfortable bedroom and homely decor. Welcoming host who accommodated our late check-in. Would definitely come back if visiting north iceland again!

“Best stay of our trip around the ring road so far!”
- We were in the Laugar area for 2 days, day 1 of 2 was at Guesthouse Hvítafell and we spent the 2nd day here. - This has been the best stay so far on the ring road. They seem to be doing everything right. - The hosts were very gracious and accommodating. The house has a nice fully equipped kitchen in the sunroom which feels so good to be in. - The hosts left us a small plate of cakes and cookies which were so good, thank you for that. - Easily accessible and quiet place to be.

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cabin. The kitchen was by far the cleanest we've come across during our travels in Iceland – everything from the plates and cups to the cutlery was spotless and well-organised. It made cooking and dining in real pleasure. The hosts were very welcoming and kind, and we especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of homemade welcome cookies – they were absolutely delicious! Their hospitality truly made us feel at home. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-cared-for stay in Iceland.

Excellent central location for a couple to explore Lake Myvatn, Husavik and Akureyi regions in North Iceland. Beautifully located in rural setting with great views. Actual cottage is lovely, tastefully furnished with every little detail thought of, including full kitchen facilities, verandah, plenty of tourist information. Hosts were good communicators and very helpful. Highly recommended.

One of the best accommodations in Iceland, which I would recommend to everyone if they find themselves in this area. You have everything you need - a well-equipped kitchen, cleand bathroom, bedroom and living area. Mr. Baldur was a wonderful host and we had a nice conversation. His wife made very tasty homemade cakes.

Lovely place. Lovely hosts. Very helpful and welcoming. Welcome gift of lovely baked goodies. Spacious, comfortable, clean, peaceful location, yet close to many sights. Use the local Laugar pool if you can. Highly recommend and would stay at again.

Everything was amazing! Easily the best place we stayed during our whole 2 week travel in Iceland! This place is the proof that when someone puts their heart into something, it can turn out the best thing ever! Very cute, ideal size hut with everything someone needs: comfortable bed, spacious clean bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, relaxing sofa both inside and outside, very nice location and view. The hosts live just opposite and can be present if you need anything. They also facilitated us by allowing a bit later check in although not convenient for them without any problem. A few homemade cookies were also waiting for us as a little welcome treat. There is no better place to go around. Definitely worth the money, if we had more time, we would stay just to enjoy the calmness of the place.

“Rural peaceful modern cottage with nearby facilities.”
Set in a “green” location, grassy slopes and forest behind. Could hear the birds so a nice peaceful environment away from the Myvatn hordes! Well located for visiting different areas. Could have stayed a 3rd day but had to move on. The house was modern, clean, spacious and well equipped. Our hosts were very friendly, spoke good English so had perfect communication and we were welcomed with delicious home cooked biscuits. Petrol station and supermarket within 5 mins. Prices always difficult to rate as Iceland is expensive.
