Wonderful staff left us a notes with detailed instructions for our late check-in. Thank you! It’s nice to know they’re offering laundry service, even we didn’t have a chance to do it. Very clean room; like the” shoes off” idea. One bathroom door has very loud scratches sounds when open and close it. Will recommend it for it’s location too😊

I had a beautiful view from my room, and they have separate houses with only a view rooms so it was nice and quiet. One of the more private hotels.

Cute place, very well situated. But take earplugs. Quiet hours are until 7am but the hotel was crashing about making breakfast from 6am so we couldn't sleep any further. About what you'd expect for a hostel type experience

Great location but too expensive and old.
Very poor value for the very high cost per night. Staff were lovely, location is excellent and breakfast is excellent. Rooms and bathrooms are very dated and not clean.

Friendly Staff
We stayed at Eldá Guesthouse for four nights, and found it to be a perfect home base for exploring the Myvatn area. Conveniently close to grocery shopping, which made it easy to prepare our meals in the kitchen. All the staff , including reception, kitchen and cleaning, were wonderful. Thanks for your hospitality!!

Just not used to a hostel environment. There was never a shortage of shared facilities, but we are used to having our own bathroom, etc. Breakfast was on of the best we had in Iceland.

Clean, Good room, and kitchen. Wonderful breakfast in the morning. Note the hot water is geothermal and smells highly of sulfur (though this is likely the case everywhere in the region, just giving a heads up). Other than the cold shower we took, everything else was great!

Amazing location. There are so many natural wonders within a very short driving distance from the guesthouse. But the property is pretty dated. There is very little beyond spartan level facilities. One really really big plus for the guesthouse is the breakfast. The staff is also very accommodating.
