Located within 2.6 km of Myvatn Nature Baths, Birkilauf in Myvatn has a number of amenities, including lake and mountain views. With a terrace, the property also features a shared lounge and a fully-equipped kitchen.

If I could give more than 10, I would happily do it. It was a fantastic apartment. I was a bit hesitant about shared kitchen initially. But it was absolutely fine. It was huge and exceptionally clean, had loads of utensils and cooking equipment. A full size dishwasher. So they have set up the kitchen in a way that multiple people can cook same time. They also come every morning to clean and reset the kitchen. They also give free supplies like breads, tomato, butter, oils etc. Washing machine came in very handy as this was day 7 of our Iceland trip when we stayed in Birkilauf. Rooms are very nice, neat and clean. Bathroom also looks newly done up Location is very close to all main areas like Hverir geothermal, Hverfjall Volcano and Dimmuborgir and lake Myvatn. Overall everything was great. Highly recommend.

Everything was great. We are 2 people so the place was slightly too big for us lol. The staff was very friendly. Breakfast was awesome with some fresh milk from the farm. Don't miss out on the ice-cream there, one of the best I've had.

    Upon arriving at the location we were told that the hostel was under construction on short notice so they upgraded us to one of their cottages. The staff were very helpful and we had an amazing stay. Even though the weather wasn’t the best that day we still had a stunning view over the lava field and the lake.

    Great location, actually within the Dimmuborgir lava field. We were the only people there (off season) and were treated to awesome northern lights views. Cosy cabin.

    We absolutely loved staying here. The guesthouse is lovely, the kitchen is huge and room was basic but still felt very cosy. We saw the northern lights perfectly, what a great location! There was also 2 farm dogs running around, who were so friendly and cute! The free breakfast in the morning was amazing as well. This is probably our favourite guest stay in Iceland! Highly recommend!

    The check-in was really uncomplicated. Our guesthouse was perfect for our group of 4, we did not miss anything. The hottub was clean (as the whole house was) and pre-heated so we could use it straight away. In general the whole area is beautiful and we could enjoy a great sunset at the lake. I would definitely book again! Also checkout was easy and the hosts were very friendly.
