1. The host lady and gentleman were very nice. The lady showed us around the facilities and baked delicious bread for breakfast in the morning. 2. The bedroom was very clean and nicely decorated. Very homely and cozy. The bathrooms were both very clean and smelled wonderful. Because I used the shower very late, there was no need to wait for others. The kitchen had very full amenities, which we admittedly didn't utilize too much except for the water boiler and plates/bowls. 3. Mjoanes was just 10 10-minute drive from Hengifoss and 15 15-minute drive from Egilsstadir, so we didn't feel too tired going to pick up pizza for dinner. 4. The grounds are very beautiful, and we had a wonderful sunlit evening. There is ample parking for guests. 5. They let you check in until pretty late (10 PM or later even) if necessary.

I think the Wi-Fi wasn't very strong? (which wasn't that big of an issue) and there was a little spider with me in the shower, but that's just a personal ick.

Everything. I have stayed at Mjóanes before. Elsa is a great host and she takes the time to show you around and make you feel welcome. She also provides fresh bread every morning and gives you access to jams and spreads and so on. Free coffee machine in the kitchen too. The room is spacious and most comfortable. The location is excellent and the value for money is the best in Iceland (at least from all the guesthouses I have stayed in). What makes it even better is that Elsa keeps numerous pets who are all super friendly. She even asked me if I wanted to feed the lambs in the morning. Such a cute place. Well worth the stay. Takk fyrir Elsa. Sjáumst!

Nothing at all. It’s perfect. 😃

Elsa was really welcoming and super nice host. She also made a bread in the morning for the guests which showed her enormous hospitality, not to mention it was super tasty! We stayed in one of the cottages and we could use the common kitchen area and showers (with washing machine and dryer) that are also for the campers during summer time. The cottage was also equipped with a kettle and small fridge, also had a small bathroom with a toilet and sink. We only spent a night here, but it was really relaxing and the scenery of the land is just simply beautiful! There is also a hot tub and sauna that you can use until 11pm. We would definitely return one day!

Elsa welcomed and showed us everything when we arrived. She is a nice and sweet woman, everything is decorated in a special way, we loved it. We slept in a cozy cottage where we had a toilette and a sink, the bed was super comfortable. The shared areas are huge, you can sit in one of the many sofas while enjoying a warm dinner, the kitchen is full equipped. For us, the most special thing was to enjoy the hot tub and sauna at night, we would love to stay more nights here. Elsa also prepared bread and left some cheese and jam in the fridge for the guests to have a good breakfast. Thank you Elsa!!

We loved the whole experience. It was very quaint and a little rustic and we just felt like everything slowed down and we really enjoyed our time there. Elsa, the host was amazing. She works very hard to meet everyone's needs. She baked bread for us in the morning and showed us her art projects and we even bought a sheepskin from her that she tanned. Are grands loved running all over the property and visiting the little baby lambs. It was just a great experience for all.

with the cottage bbq, sauna, washing machine and hot tub usage was included - every morning a fresh loaf of slightly sweet bread, cheese, milk and marmalade awaited us - it is close to a lake and has beautiful surroundings - cottage came with access to a separate kitchen

it was not visible from the pictures, but both the sofa and bed are in one room, which made it a bit uncomfortable for four people - showers are shared with the camping site (two showers each for men and women as well as one separate shower for mixed usage), which could get crowded some times

It was very clean, cozy and heartwarming. I had everything I needed, even Netflix on the TV in my room. But mostly I loved the animals. One of the dogs was running part of the way beside me on my evening run and one of cats came through my open window at night to say hello. Experiences like this made my stay very special. I had some really good accomodations on my roadtrip in Iceland, but this one was my favorite! :)

Nothing.

The most welcoming accommodation during our road trip by far. Elsa's loving nature and hospitality made it easy to feel at home, so we decided to spontaneously stay for another night. The absolute best part is the two sweet dogs and the clever cat that brighten up your day. Elsa's freshly baked bread is simply delicious and such a great start to the day! The accommodation is decorated with attention to detail, with lots of handmade decorations by Elsa herself. It creates a beautiful atmosphere. If the roads aren't completely closed off, dare to take the journey; we promise it's worth it!

Everything tbh - we were too tired after a hike to Studlagil. When we entered the property, met Elsa and checked in, I think the energy returned. The hot tub & sauna was a gift to my tired legs. Kitchen to room, everything was designed thoughtfully from a barn to a homestay and well equipped. Jfyi, the shower is common - but very big, spacious and clean. Hence it would not be an issue. If weather is nice and you are lucky, you may get to see some auroras too like us 😊

Our stay at Mjoanes was great. The property is very well manteined and the rooms are very pretty. We also loved that the owner made a delicious bread for breakfast for us, a very appreciated gesture!

We weren't told we had to book the sauna so we couldn't use it when we arrived. But this didn't affect much our perfect stay
