“High quality oasis but at a price”

Super beds, great kitchen with professional coffee machine, rich breakfast, very attentive host lady

“a self catering apartment that exceeds expectations!”

excellent accommodation within a secluded woodland

Perfect location for exploring Myvatn and surrounding areas. Cozy room with the comfortable bed. The shared kitchen was spacious and perfectly equipped. The shared dining area was also very comfortable and big enough with a nice view on the volcano. The host was very nice.

Well equipped kitchen and good selection of breakfast items.

The accommodation was excellent and the setting lovely. Nice and quietly

“Peaceful stay in beautiful surroundings”

Beautiful, peaceful location, attractive property, large windows, large deck. Especially pretty in Autumn. Close to all Mývatn attractions.

It's among beautiful greens and lava fields. The common area is spacious and comfy. There are plenty of stuff to make breakfast/quick snack. Joana is super friendly and helpful when we checked in.

“Fabulous stay in Mývatn”

Friendly welcome, comfortable rooms with a good en-suite. Spacious lounge and very well equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook a meal (including sharp knives which isn’t always the case). Decent breakfast (bread, cheese, eggs, coffee, cereal and skyr). Property has good soundproofing which is appreciated for anyone wanting to sleep in. The lady who checked us in/welcomed us was very helpful with tips on what to see and do.

“Adequate for a short stay”

Very quiet and well located. A good variety of breakfast foods were supplied.

Well equipped kitchen and good selection of breakfast items.

“Excellent apartment, Inside the nature. Friendly and helpful owner”

The house was excellent. It is located in a private area in a lava field and is surrounded by low trees. It has a large common living room with an open kitchen. The living room had large glass openings and we could see the trees. It also has a very large balcony with a table and chairs to enjoy nature. The entire house is surrounded by a he living room had large glass openings single balcony with tables and chairs per room. The kitchen was fully equipped and had everything we needed to make a full breakfast (eggs, oil, butter, jams, milk, etc.) The room was clean and comfortable. The host was cheerful and gave us information about the area. Lake Myvatn, the baths and the other attractions are very beautiful and worth the stay. Unfortunately when we went the Grjotagia cave was closed, but we were compensated by the other attractions.

Clean, comfortable and spacious. Only four rooms with a very large shared kitchen and lounge area. Well stocked for the DIY breakfast.

“VERY AWESOME.”

11/10! host joanna was really excellent, she made sure that we were settled in and showed great hospitality! she had great recommendations on where to go, and also topped up the breakfast goodies for us when it was running low. the guesthouse also was really amazing - just 4 rooms and a huge living area and a very well stocked kitchen. all the kitchenware and appliances were high quality and super easy to use, and we really cooked up a feast every night because it really had everything you need! (including soy sauce for us Asians!) of the 3 nights we stayed here, we had a whole day of snow and so we just stayed in and watched tv (we really needed the downtime), and saw aurora right from the balcony one of those nights. the rooms a bit small but overall still comfortable and nice, and considering we largely hung out at the common area this really wasn't any issue. birkilauf was HANDS DOWN our #1 accoms in iceland and i will be recommending all my friends to stay here!

“Great stay!”

Nice place, with a nice breakfast and a kitchen that has everything you need. You can also use the washing machine without extra charge. Beds are big and comfortabel, and it has a rain shower! We slept really good and the location is perfect nearby all the sightseeing activities. Someone comes every morning to check if everything is OK, wat was really sweet.

“Quiet location with great facilities”

Great location, friendly host Joanna who explained everything on our arrival. Really nicely appointed with an enormous kitchen with everything you would need. ( except for a microwave which was surprising) Only 4 rooms so heaps of space.

“Awesome stay”

Had an awesome stay! The host was super friendly and gave us some great tips for things to do in the area. The kitchen had everything we needed, which was really handy. Just bring your dinner/lunch and cook as if you are at home cause you will have plenty of pots/pans/oil/salt. Our room was clean and modern. We even got to see the Northern Lights in April!

There are 4 spacious bedrooms each with its own attached bathroom in a nicely decorated house with shared living room, dining area, well-equipped kitchen and clothes washer cum dryer. Host provides items like juices, yoghurt, butter, jams, cheese, bread, eggs that we use to prepare our own breakfast. Kitchen has necessary cooking utensils, cooking oil, spices & condiments. Patio area has lovely sunset views. Friendly housekeeper met us at checkin & gave detailed explanation of how to operate kitchen appliances. She also recommended nice farmhouse restaurant nearby for meals.

Shared facilities were excellent, kitchen was stocked with a variety of oils, herbs and spices

Four bedrooms with public living room and kitchen. Nice place for multiple groups. Self-serviced breakfast is included. We had two great night's here.

The drive over through the mountains (if you decide not to take the toll road via Akureyri) is already a treat before you arrive at a unique location in a natural park located in the northern part of Iceland. Our bedroom had an en suite bathroom, and was clean. Waking up to see a fresh (thin) layer of snow covered the outside area was a big bonus. The common space has enough room to not bump into the occupants of the other rooms, and the kitchen is well stocked.
