10/10 Exceptional

One of the nicest places we have stayed in. The host had fresh baked bread and cake for us. The gourmet kitchen was a dream with the best organization for the guests with fresh eggs, butter and milk. The coffee set up was dreamy with ever option available. The room had a fabulously comfortable bed and modern bathroom with these cool round corner shower doors that folded in giving extra space when not using the shower. The location truly could not be beat with a perfect view of Hverfall the cider cone volcano mountain. But without a doubt the greatest part of the stay was the care by the host who not only made sure we were comfortable, had multiple cups of hot coffee but also had an infectious passion for the area and Iceland in general. He shared his knowledge truly enriching our experience! Hope to return!

6/10 Good

Overall this is a nice, well-maintained house, but not quite what I expected. I should also mention that the host is a nice and generous person with lots of advice about the local area. The part that I wasn’t expecting (maybe I just didn’t do my research well enough) was the nature of the accommodations. You basically get a room in a house that is shared with three other rooms. The room is nice, new and clean, but for me it lacked privacy. The floors throughout the house are made of concrete and sound really reverberates, regardless of whether you have your door closed. If you are inclined to have an early bedtime, I would advise against this property. In my case, two of the three nights I was there the other guests were up talking and laughing in the living room, and sleep was impossible until quite late. There is certainly nothing unreasonable about people staying up late and socializing, but because of the lack of soundproofing, it’s not good for guests with different sleep habits. It should also be noted that the kitchen and laundry are shared areas. Again, probably due to a lack of proper research on my part, I was expecting a self-contained space with these amenities.

Beds were comfy. Room and bath spacious. Living/dining room were pleasant to hang out in and chat with other guests and host. Great chef kitchen if you want to make a meal. Basics are provided so you don’t have to worry about coffee, cereal and milk. Home made bread!!! You could easily stay here a week. Plenty of info on local sites. Thanks Johann for a lovely visit.

Un lieu formidable au milieu d'une nature époustou
Une superbe maison de famille. Notre chambre était spacieuse avec une belle salle de bains. La cuisine est toute équipée et il y a également un très bon lave-linge/sèche-linge. Très belle terrasse avec barbecue. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié notre hôte pour sa disponibilité et ses informations sur l'histoire, la culture et les visites environnantes. Il a également plein d'attentions pour ses invités : pain frais et gâteaux maison chaque jour et le frigo est garni pour le petit déjeuner avec oeufs, lait, beurre, confitures, fromage. Sans compter le thé et le café (du vrai) à disposition. Tout cela rend le prix justifié. Nous recommandons vivement cette adresse. D'autres part la situation au centre de toutes les richesses de la région justifie bien d'y rester 2 jours. MYVATN et ses environs sont MAGNIFIQUES.

Der große Aufenthaltsraum mit Küche ist wunderbar. Wir konnten uns Mahlzeiten selbst zubereiten und waren nicht auf Restaurantbesuche angewiesen. Es war definitiv die für uns beste Unterkunft auf unserer 2-wöchigen Rundreise auf Island. Der Vermieter schickt einen Tag vorher einen Link mit der Wegbeschreibung. Wir hatten versäumt unsere mails zu checken. Der Wegweiser nach „Birkiland“ ist auf jeden Fall richtig. Man fährt dann eine Schotterstraße bis zum Haus.

ein perfekter Ort für Ausflüge und Gemütlichkeit
die check-in-Zeit ist super flexibel! es gibt nur 4 Zimmer (mit eigenem Bad), dadurch ist es sehr klein und fein! der Hausherr ist persönlich vor Ort, hat Ausflugstipps oder kommt einfach mal vorbei einen Kaffee trinken! tolle Gemeinschaftsküche mit großem Esstisch und Wohnzimmer, wo gekocht und getrascht wird oder man auch einfach nur ein Buch lesen kann!! wir würden sofort wieder buchen!!

Chaleureux, pratique, bon rapport qualité prix!
Chalet récent, spacieux, équipé et stylé au milieu de la nature. Très bien placé pour profiter des nombreuses visites et attractions des environs. Nous avons été très bien reçus par l’hôte. Le tout pour un rapport qualité prix très intéressant pour la région. Je recommande vivement!
