    Spacious (large) and comfortable studio, fully equipped kitchen, nice view from the room into the little forest in the back. We stayed 3 nights, a great base to explore the north.

    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.

    I was disappointed with the view

    the cabin looks brand new and probably opened during 2023 – perfectly clean. In my view it’s been built to a high standard. The large window at the back overlooks woodland and the outlook is very pleasant however, overlooking the valley at the front the windows in the bathroom and front door are high up and small and overlook other buildings; I’m disappointed with the view. There is a hot-tub and it’s warm. I’ve just realised that there isn’t a TV in the room – bring your own entertainment! Fair value for money 8/10

    The guesthouse is clean and comfortable. There is a kitchen there for self cooking. The heating pool outside is very warm. The surrounding is quiet and there is few horse near to the guesthouse. Short drive 20min to the Myvatn lake to see the northern light.

    Thin walls. Could hear everything from the loud neighbors. Banging noises past 10:30pm and then they woke us up before 7am. If there was better sound proofing, I would stay again.

    Nice space. Had everything we needed. Comfy bed.

    There was no curtain for the toilet windows that faced the common area outside might be a concern for privacy. The main issue was that the sunlight shone in too brightly during the long summer hours when we tried to use the toilet which made it difficult for us to fall asleep again. There was also quite a bit of light leakage in the bedroom as well so do pack your eye masks.

    Very well stocked kitchen as shown in photos. We happened to meet and greet the owner who stayed in the house right beside the guesthouse. The toilet was huge and clean. Parking space was also available outside the accommodation. Affordable and not too far away from Akureyri.

    Guesthouse Hvitafell was super clean, I loved it. The hot tub overlooking the valley was excellent and the bed was a 10. The kitchen has all you need, with tea and coffee complementary. All in all just an excellent place to stay in Laugar.

    we loved our stay here. The hostess made us feel welcome. Beds were best so far on the trip and the water pressure was superb! Our room was impeccably clean. The view from our rear window - so relaxing! Convenient location. super quiet. Wished we could have enjoyed sitting outside but the wind was too much.
