Detailed Reviews
Great experience staying in the private cabin with private bath for 2 nights while exploring the area around Myvatn Lake. We were graciously welcomed to Langavatn guesthouse and were glad to have the wonderful view from our window. We also appreciated having a private porch and extra space inside as well. Breakfast was nice and our hosts patiently answered questions we had about driving distances etc.

Lovely guesthouse where we stayed for two nights in one of the cabins next to the guesthouse
Staff really helpful and able to answer our questions.
Breakfast is continental style and special wishes are fulfilled.
Evert morning a fixed menu is announced for the evening.
Only downside is the long distance to any other thing.
We recommend the guesthouse.

A lovely place with even lovelier people. Everyone is fluent in English. The dinner (Icelandic fishsoup with freshly baked bread) was amazing. Breakfast was also great. Complimentary coffee and tea all day long. Rooms are clean and cozy. The shared bathroom was really clean as well.

We were a little concerned when we drove up to the guesthouse. There is litterally nothing else there. But the owner was very nice and the homecooked soup was excellent! They even have a bar there. There are two toilets, one with a shower that is shared with the guests in the house.

The place itself is stunning. Situated in the middle of nowhere, next to a lake and a mountain, the place is a perfect getaway. There are even two horses living nearby! The place looks recently renovated, and the breakfast room is incredible - light, airy, lots of wood decor, spacious. The two bathrooms (both downstairs, while the rooms are all upstairs) are large and recently renovated as well.
The rooms... that was the downside. Our room was about 8X10, and had a 3X3 chunk taken out for the stairs. It had two single beds, and no room for anything else - luggage, belongings, chairs, nope. There was a small nightstand that separated the beds, with no room for error. You had to move this small nightstand to find the one plug. And the beds were much harder than I was comfortable with. It was better by using the duvet as a mattress cover, but still, we were glad to move on. The stairs are very steep and have a low ceiling.
The owner, Clarissa, was delightful and sweet. Her attitude and the great food, wonderful location and great facilities really did make up for the hard beds and tiny room.

Nice quiet remote location, ideally situated 20 minutes from Husavik and Lake Myvatn. The host was friendly and there was a good selection for breakfast. The only downsides were our small room which got very hot at night (despite no heating being on) and there was only 1 shower between 4 guest rooms which meant considerable queuing in the morning.

The location is beautiful - the former farm sits on its own in a valley next to a lake. On a clear day, you can see mountains. It's about 30 minutes from Lake Myvatn and 20 to Husavik.
We enjoyed a lovely hike on the farm to a waterfall. We saw several different types of birds, in addition to the two horses who live on the property.
The building was recently renovated with a wonderful dining room is very inviting with high ceilings and a nice design.
Our bedroom was very small with two single beds that were not next to each other. However, the beds were very comfortable.
The owner's daughter was very friendly and helpful.
We liked the framed pictures around the guesthouse.
The internet only worked in the dining room and it was extremely slow.
As compared to other guesthouses/hotels, the breakfast was good but limited.

On the gravel road between Husavik and Myvatn, convenient for both. We arrived in cold, wet weather and the farm was warm and dry and felt like home from home. Our room in the main building was small but clean and comfortable. We ate at the farm both nights of our stay and the food was excellent. Did not want to leave. Would recommend.

We spent 2 nights at this very cozy, warmhearted woody place... Sheep all around... the hosts absolutely nice, kind and helpful ...the food original and yummy! Definitely our nicest stay in Iceland ! Made our honeymoon even more special! And Anna had some good local tips fir us as well... It felt like "a home far away from home" and we would have loved to stay longer!
