Homestays in Northeastern Region, Iceland

1. The front desk and breakfast are close to their dairy factory. The living environment of the cows inside is very clean and the staff take good care of them. 2. The room is located in a row of log cabins across the road, which is very comfortable. 3. Breakfast is great 4. The girl at the front desk was very polite and patient.

The location to the main town is close. There is a cafe within 3-5 minutes walk for breakfast or coffee. There are goods and bads to this place. The beds are comfortable. There is a laundry service available which is 3000 isk per machine load wash/dry. The breakfast is fairly large considering. Here are my complaints. We had the 3 bed on the first floor. Everyone coming in and out slams the front door to get it to close. This was still going on at midnight. The guests above us were up talking loudly until 1a. This would be my biggest complaint. You can here very noice in the place. They ask you to be considerate of others, but people aren’t. If you have trouble sleeping, this may not be the place for you. We found the shared bathrooms to be fine. We never really had to wait for the shower or the bathroom. On day 1 we were asked what time we wanted breakfast as it was included in our price that we paid.and we said 8a. The first morning it showed up 10 minutes late which was not a big deal. On the second day we waited until 8:30 and did not receive breakfast and then had to leave due to getting on the road. She did send a message through *********** saying she had been knocking on our door trying to bring breakfast. We were up at 6:30 and in the room by 715 after showers. We found the breakfast thing to be disappointing. Why ask why what time we want breakfast if you aren’t going to be close to the time. The message they sent us though the app was 9:08a. An hour after it was supposed to be delivered. I would not stay here again mainly because of the noise outside your room

Located off Hwy 1 about 60 kilometers from lake Myvatn is a good guesthouse. You check in at one place, but you maybe staying at a complex about 6 kilometers away. The rooms are good sized and have private baths. Also much cheaper than in the Lake Myvatn area. The owner is helpful. At the complex where I stayed there is a good communal kitchen and meeting room. Contrary to Booking's statement, there is a breakfast option which is good at an additional cost. It is a lonely outpost on the long barren stretch of Hwy 1 headed east from Lake Myvatn. It is convenient to Dettifoss.

Very close to Lake Mi, the facilities are generally simple, the room size is small, the room has three single beds, three bedside tables, one table, two chairs, one pool, nothing more. The kitchen and bathroom are shared and slightly inconvenient. The kitchen has shared kitchen utensils and cutlery. The cooktop is small and can only be cooked for one time. The breakfast at the hotel is very good for several varieties. Compared to other parts of Iceland, the price of this hotel is high (scenic price), but the accommodation service provided is too general (farm level). In addition, there are many black flying insects in the area around Mihu in summer, and the face is rushing to the body. It feels very bad. Now I think of goose bumps. Summer travel is not recommended to live near Mihu, which is very expensive. Not comfortable.

We only visited Akureyri for 2 nights but this Guesthouse was in an excellent location, all attractions were within walking distance and you had restaurants and bars literally at your door. The room was quite large and we had a private bathroom which was good. There is a large common room on the 4th floor that is fully equipped and has all you need to cook meals and relax. It was a good place to stay, only downside was no lift and no air-conditioning so the room was quite warm.

The location was perfect; we parked our cars and was able to walk to our dinner location. There are plenty of shops (ice cream, Thai, etc) and an ATM within a 3minute walk. We had 8 people in our group and thus rented two rooms. The bed was comfortable but the pull-out couch bed was not. The kitchen and bathrooms were clean, no issues there. Our neighbor turned on loud music at 1am despite it being quiet hours. We tried to call the number listed in the reception area but it did not work. We eventually knocked on the door and the neighbor turned off his music. We would stay here again (minus the noisy neighbor).

Just spent 2 nights here Very conveniently situated just 5 min walk from town centre, allbeit up a sharp hill The room was enormous, the bed very comfortable (except the pillows, come on what was it with those pillows? I would have had more support putting a sock in a shirt. Buy some proper pillows!!!!!) The bathroom - with a jet bath and a shower - was bigger than some rooms we've stayed in. There was even a door to a balcony from the bathroom. Building plenty warm enough but not double glazed so windows all condensed in morning. But.... Whatever happened to customer service? When we arrived, shortly after check in time, we rang bell. Eventually this rough looking bloke opened the door - looked like he had just got up. Before we could say anything, or even introduce ourselves, the sum total of what was said by him was a gruff ”Your room is straight on at the top of the stairs.” and with that he disappeared back into the rear of the house. No explanation about anything eg parking, or fuss we want breakfast, or WiFi, or that there was a fridge available (didn't see that until the morning we left) Had to email to get WiFi code - though later saw that it was on the tiniest slip of paper in the room. Tea and coffee available on the landing outside of room. No servicing /washing of cups Nobody around on departure. So, no ”hospitality” throughout the whole stay.

We had the absolute pleasure of staying the past two nights at Laxardalur Cabin and it was phenomenal! The drive in is about 11km of well marked gravel road full of twists and turns and sheep. It made for an exciting entrance as you didn’t know who or what you would see! When we arrived, we were amazed by the beauty of the surroundings both outside and inside the cabin. To say this is a luxury cabin is an understatement. It is meticulously maintained and well equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. You can tell there has been a lot of thought and planning into creating a space for guests to truly enjoy. I would highly recommend this cabin. The location was perfect for visiting both Husavik and Myvatn, and from our drive out today, I would say Akureyri too. Thank you to the lovely owners for a wonderful stay!!

Guesthouse in ottima posizione, pulita, camere accoglienti. Un paio di suggerimenti: è difficile effettuare il check in - è obbligatorio chiamare al momento dell'arrivo. Orario di check in non chiaro, sul sito riporta ora 6 PM, la casa riporta 4 PM, al telefono dicono 5 PM... Per il resto tutto bene, consiglio la visita.

En todo el pais estan ofreciendo cuartuchos al precio de hoteles de 4 y 5 estrellas y eso es un abuso que deberiamos denunciar los turistas. Si no tienen suficientes hoteles que cobren en funcion de lo que ofrecen. En este hotel nos han cobrado por dos noches 235,80 con desayuno incluido en una cabana industrial donde han metido 6 habitaciones, a costa de que? Pues de meter la cama contra la pared que solo una persona se pueda sentar y eso que hemos tenido ducha y wc dentro del cuarto. Pero eso no te da derecho a cobrar como un hotel de 4 estrellas en el centro de ciudades importantes de España. Ademas hemos pasado dos noches y alucinante, pasaron el segundo dia y vaciaron las papeleras, ni doblaron el edredon, que eso es hacer la cama en este pais. No hay armario para colgar nada, esto no es una habitacion a precio de hotel. Nadie parece regular los precios de los alojamientos. Como hay pocos vale todo, pues no senores. Nosotros en 2021 en booking reservamos unos hoteles con habitacion y bano incorporado. Como en Islandia faltaron vehiculos de alquiler en verano 21 los tuvimos que anular. Cuando hemos querido retomar las reservas en 1 ano habian subido casi 3 veces mas los precios. Eso no lo hace una sociedad avanzada eso es juego sucio lo hace la ley del sablazo. Esta sociedad que se las da de hacer proyectos como reduccion de horas y las quiere compartir con otros paises!!!!! Volviendo a este hotel el desayuno digno, el personal correcto, las instalaciones muy anticuadas mezclando mesas plegables nuevas con mobiliario y decoracion muy antiguas. Este hotel es camping tambien y los servicios son de eso, no de hotel a 120 euros la noche en una cama contra la pared. Cenamos una ensalada que era racion mini mini y trucha ahumada con dos rodajas justas de pan. De nuevo precios del centro de Reykiavick. Senores estamos en medio de la nada donde no se puede hacer nada. Para llegar a este hotel necesitas 1 hora ida y vuelta por 50 kms de carretera F sin asfaltar. Tampoco te lo dicen en la informacion. 1 hora a 30 es una paliza El wifi es inestable, gracias que tenemos datos ilimitados nosotros, si no, lo que faltaba. Mi resumen es Si me vuelvo a encontrar un pais con tantas trampas y abusos, cambio de destino. Iceland es bonito pero no es la perla del mundo, hay lugares infinitamente mejores donde no te engañan y te esperan con los brazos abiertos. En abril pase 15 dias en Bali y ese si es un paraiso y su gente. Esta es mi reflexion despues de 10dias por aqui y me quedan otros 10 gracias que son la mayoria en casas de intercambio.

The breakfast was good. I booked the Triple Room Hotel on the beach next to Highway 1 (no other facilities just for self-driving tour). Free parking is available. Overall recommended and not expensive to stay in the straw hat mountain (Chapel Hill) Peninsula for a good night.

Very very good, really happy! My husband has always praised me that this hotel is well booked. It is recommended to consider this hotel after the tour from Lake Myvatn. There is a natural hot spring. It is a hot spring pool covered by the natural hot spring that the owner flows down from the mountain. We didn't take a dip in the Blue Lake and Lake Myvatn this time because the schedule was too tight, but because this hotel comes with it, we took two dips in the evening and in the morning. After the dip, our hands and feet were warm. Advantages: The room is large and has a small balcony. A small table and two chairs are placed for guests to relax and drink tea. The room is clean and hygienic, and the bathroom decoration is also very comfortable. There are natural hot springs outside. The breakfast was pretty good. The price is also very nice. Disadvantages: None.

We have been sleeping in a small bungalow with private bathroom and a small outdoor area with table and chairs. A room of about 15 mq is simple but clean and comfortable (much more than other places where we stayed), with a wide glass on the beautiful lava fields. Good cleaning, comfortable beds, well-functioning and self-regulable heating, hairdryers (rare in Iceland). Breakfast is very diverse and with good sweet and salty products: also the excellent local smoked salmon, soda eggs, cheese, pig, salad, tomatoes, 3 yoghurt, cereals, 3 marmelades, varied bread, nutella, cookies, small croissant, etc. We liked it very much and we were really good! Sorry for the price too expensive (Euro 180 per night).
