Reviews of Birkilauf

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.

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.

Nothing

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

The room was VERY small. The kitchen and dining facilities had to be shared with other guests

Well equipped kitchen and good selection of breakfast items.

The shower set up. Very small bathroom, but had everything we needed.

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.

Very clean and comfortable

Only staying for one night!!

Clean, nice patio

Expensive for what it was - a few breakfast items were provided, but it was self- serve.

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

Nothing.

Wonderful property, incredibly clean, elegantly designed and modern.

Absolutely nothing to complain about

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!

nothing, really! it was such an amazing place and i would very much love to return, if i ever visit iceland again.

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.

You don’t know when other guests will be checking in, for example, in our case at 23:00. We were already in bed and heard the noise, which was a little bit weird as you don’t expect it so late.

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.

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.

Nothing, house was fabulous.

A great comfortable house, each room has a private bathroom, and the common areas include large living room and well-equipped kitchen.

The owner is very helpful! All the stuff in the fridge for breakfast was good quality as well. If you need to wash your clothes, they have a machine.

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