"It is a very clean and well maintained property with incredible views of the plains, grass, hills and wild horses roaming in the back. Owner has 2 friendly dogs and it is fun to play with them as they roam the backyard. The place is small but has everything 2 people may need. The road is not paved, so drive carefully."
"Wow is an understatement. The property is so beautiful. Friendly staff/owner. Studio apartment is equipped with basic kitchen needs. The reception has additional cutlery and plates if needed. The owner kindly offered cake and kale and lettuce from their farm."
"High winds at sea delayed our ferry, so our overall trip to Vestmann Island was cut short, but we made the most of our time. Lava Guesthouse was very centrally located and wonderfully clean and comfortable. The bathroom, in particular, was quite nice, and the kitchen facilities were an added plus. I wish we could have stayed much longer!"
"Great location to use as a base for our visit of the islands. We rented the full apartment but it was apparent it could also be used as two separate rooms rented out with a shared bathroom- so one bedroom was actually the kitchenette. Just need to be aware if you actually plan to use the kitchen that it is a bedroom! On street parking . Never saw the owner but comunication was great through Expedia app."
"These are individual cabins in a stunning setting with waterfalls in the background. The interiors and exterior are beautifully designed in a modern esthetic. Unfortunately for us, the common lodge (lobby, sauna, restaurant) is still under construction and it wasn’t entirely clear when we booked it that there would be no other amenities besides our cabin. The access road as a result was an uneven construction road, which was not ideal.
For the price of this luxury accommodation, we had some other small expectations - there was no shampoo, conditioner, or lotion; all communication was through a ChatBot and then follow up chatting with individuals. It was nice to have the privacy, but also somewhat lacking in welcome."
"Was a great last stop for us on the ring road after staying in guesthouses for a week. We had our own kitchen, laundry and bathroom and the host was very sweet, she gave us a bottle of milk from their dairy cows. They just took over the farm a couple months ago and are making a new start of it. The furnishings are very plain but clean and you have all you need with more amenities than most other places we stayed, recommended!"
