Dimmuborgir Guesthouse

Our lake-view ensuite mini-cabin was great for our 1 night stay at Myvatn, with sufficient parking space, clean geothermal shower and use of shared kitchen and lounge (even common BBQ grill) attached to our 4 mini-cabin cluster. We only wished there is a dustbin in our room (not just the toilet bin). Loved its quiet lakefront location with the Dimmuborgir lava fields and Hverfell crater just behind it. Continental breakfast spread was great with local specialities and waffles. Tip: Walk along the lake path outside the guesthouse at sunset. Myvatn nature baths are also less than 5-min drive away. There are plenty of midges in summer and while they were a minor bother and do not bite, just remember not to open the windows without the blinds in the warmer afternoons or evenings.

Volcano views Great location. Awesome view of volcano from the guesthouse. Nice people working here. We booked a larger 2 bedroom unit - they said the heater was broken so they moved us to a smaller unit. Sounds awesome - of note, there was no center heat to break.. it was space heaters (so I’m guessing they gave our unit to someone else). Worked out well for us - they were very kind about it and also gave us free breakfast for this. Also wasn’t soap or shampoo in the shower - so we didn’t shower here. Property is awesome. People were kind. I’d stay here again.

The pictures are very misleading. You’re not in a tiny cabin, you’re in 1/4 of a tiny cabin. There’s also a picture of a hot tub, but only 1 cabin has one and access to it. I wouldn’t have booked it if the website wasn’t misleading in those ways. It was clean, but not what was advertised
