    There is nothing.

    Everything—the location is quiet, the town is close, the amenities are first-class, the beds are comfortable, the shower is wonderful, there's a nice warm hot tub, and the room is spotlessly clean.

    We had a very pleasant stay at Guesthouse Hvítafell. The room was nice, with a comfortable bed that made for a good night’s sleep. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare our meals, which was very convenient. Although we didn’t use it, there’s a hot tub available for guests - a lovely option after a day of exploring. The location is excellent, just a short drive to Geosea, which was a must-visit for us and a real highlight of the area. Overall, a welcoming and practical place to stay while visiting this part of Iceland.

    - The cooking spatulas and ladles are burnt, probably by someone before us, they should change those. - The heating cannot be controlled within the apartment, opening the windows is an option to cool down, but the midges can fly in. - The room said mountain views, that is partially correct, but those views are only visible from the tiny window on the door or the bathroom. - For our day 2 of 2 we were at the Laugar Guesthouse next door which we felt offered a better value for our money.

    - We found the town of Laugar to be a very pleasant stop between Mývatn and Akureyri, we were in this area for two days, but stayed in this guest house for only day 1 of 2. - The kitchenette is fully equipped and has most of the things you need to cook. - The rooms are spacious with decent sized bathrooms. - They have a hot tub but we didn't get an opportunity to use that.

    We had a very pleasant stay and truly have nothing to complain about.

    The accommodation matched the photos well; simple, yet warm and clean. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the place was very quiet at night, making it easy to get a good night’s sleep. It’s about a 30mins drive from the Mývatn area, and there’s a small grocery store just a 10 mins walk away. Overall, a great value stay in a peaceful location.

    Minor issues: The walls were a bit thin and we could hear some noise from the other rooms. There were also some bugs outside.

    The host was responsive. The WiFi was strong, and the room was spacious and clean.

    If you have bad or lought room neighbours you maybe hear them.

    Christina is a very friendly host and the guesthouse got everything you need. It is very clean and we felt very well during our 3 nights! Until now the best place during our Island round trip.

    This was such a cute guesthouse! It was fairly roomy with space to get into luggage, a small seating area, kitchenette, and decent sized bathroom. We appreciated the well stocked kitchenette even though we only used it for coffee. There’s also a shared hot tub on the porch, though we didn’t test it out. Lots of outlets and radiator space. Easy check in. Would stay again.

    Couldn’t check in till 5pm. Not an issue as we had a full day getting there but if the weather was bad and you needed to get in early might be an issue.

    Well laid out. Large room. Travelling with another couple. Able to cook for all 4 of us in one unit. Very quiet. Nice wine glasses and good knives.

    The place is very pleasant, located in a beautiful spot where the forest was next the window and the mountains seen from the balcony. The room was clean and very quiet. Treating ourselves in the hot tub next to the room and view to the valley was one of the highlights.

    The road 1 in this area is sometimes closed in winter (we visit the area in April and we had to wait 5 or 6 hours until they opend it).

    A very nice appartment with complete kitchen (toaster, keetle, micowaves, coffee maker) and toilet. Beds are confortable, heating is good and cleanliness is perfect. The owner is very kind and the appartment is close to Godafoss fall and Myvatn lake. Tou can park for free just outside, next to the appartment.

    It is one of the most comfortable places in Iceland that I've stayed, such a lovely apartment. Really lovely bed, great shower and great facilities including the Hot tub. That's why it's been my second time back here. Such a great location as well.
