All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We did not like to have to make our own beds upon arrival. Nor did we like the obligation to clean the property before leaving. Although there was a recycle bin, it could only take bottles and cans. The are a lot of bugs in the area late in the day so we do recommend some repellent if you plan spending time on the porch.
The pictures matched the description. The location was remote. The cottage was very basic. The bedding was not even on the beds when we arrived. It was a complete surprise to read the cleaning requirements once inside the cottage. There was no mention of this when booking. It was not just the basic, clean up after yourself and take the garbage out. The bathroom was expected to be scrubbed. The floors were expected to be swept and mopped. There is a fee if not cleaned when you leave.
This Cottage had wonderful views and was within 15 minutes of Höfn for dining and groceries. It had a decent kitchenette with everything needed for making meals. The beds were comfortable for us. We found most beds in Iceland comfortable. However, we are a family of 4 and it felt kind of cramped at times. When the pullout sofa was setup for sleeping there wasn't really room to access the whole dining table. What was off putting for us was the initial communication from the Myllulækur cottage manager with the self check in instructions. It basically started out that if we didn't clean up the cottage and leave it as we found it, we would be charged a 60 Euro cleaning fee. It felt a little aggressive and then upon inspection when we arrived at the cottage we found the kitchen area rather dirty, especially in the drawers with the pots and pans and utensils. We ended up leaving it better than we found it, but the whole experience turned us off and we felt that communication could have been much nicer. It was also clear to us that they really aren't hiring a professional cleaner to clean up between guest stays. The Cottage also really needs screens on the windows as there are some small biting flies that tend to come in. And there were dead mashed flies in the black out shades when you unrolled them. That said we enjoyed our stay to the area and enjoyed our quiet independence in the cottage.

Best thing about the place was the cleaning person helping us to access the property. Before that we received no communication about the property, which cabin we were in, or how to access. Thanks to help from the community, we were able to get in. Just a heads up that you are expected to make your own beds and clean (sweep, mop, vacuum, etc.) before you leave.
There were bugs in the apartment and in the bed. We could not stay in the property. We had to leave and find another hotel to stay.

Very poor communication for check-in, unit clean and warm but basic, a little tired. Overpriced for the facilities provided. Quiet location with rural outlook.
The property is located in a very picturesque place. You have a lot of privacy and the perfect place to enjoy the Aurora!
Well equipped. We stayed two nights. 15 minutes drive to Höfn. The local pool is very nice too.

Do it yourself rental
Be aware you have to put sheets on the bed & take off. Clean the bathroom, kitchen, sweep. Nothing is done for you, all do it yourself. Very disappointing for what we paid.
Simple but cozy, with amazing pastoral views. All you need is there. Easy clean up like washing dishes after yourself, putting bedding away and vacuuming , was not an issue.

Cozy cabin
Beautiful location off the highway, but offset so no noise. Was great for my family of 3 space wise and set up for cooking, play and sleep. Was exactly what we needed
My family loved the cottage, especially the field of horses right in front of the porch. Great view and location for our road trip, very quiet. I received the combi ation to the door and was happy with how easy it was to access. It was an easy location to find. I certainly recommend this property.
Very scenic setting! Lovely view from the sitting area. You will find everything you need. If you are lucky, the horses will arrive on the neighboring property and let you feed them some oats.
The cabin itself is lovely and is in a beautiful location. It is comfortable and well appointed
The listing did not indicate that guests would be responsible for Cora’s I guess the property upon departure (vacuuming, stripping beds, cleaning the bathroom) It indicated the property was professionally cleaned and upon arrival we learned that the cleaning was done by the last guest. Showers were not disinfected, etc.
