My partner and I stayed at Elda guesthouse in early June for just over a week and absolutely loved it. It suited us really well with it being good value for money and very close to the Myvatn lake (great if you're a keen wildlife photographer like my boyfriend or enjoy a long cycle/run like myself!) The staff were really friendly and helpful, working hard to prepare delicious breakfasts (including salads, meats, cheeses, yoghurts, croissants, pastries, bread etc) and keep the place clean and tidy. All the staff were so kind to us, for example preparing a little breakfast the night before our early morning flight for us. In terms of other amenities, the guesthouse had everything you need for self catering with an oven, fridge and cooking facilities. There is also a supermarket just a couple minutes walk away and a hotel just down the road where we sometimes went to enjoy an evening drink and a game of chess! I also hired a bike one day. Overall, we would highly recommend this place for people with similar interests and values to us :)

Nothing we didn't like but would recommend a couple of board games to have around on rainy days :)

Apart from being a short drive away from most of the Myvatn area natural wonders and sightseeing spots, as well as the Myvatn Nature Baths, the guesthouse is also near a supermarket and a gas station as well as couple restaurants a short walk away. This was one of the few exceptions in Iceland where we had someone at the reception for check-in. While we had booked a room for two people, we were given a triple room, therefore it was a nice spacious room. As elsewhere in Iceland, the beds were comfortable with nice clean sheets and a warm blanket. There was a very decent breakfast included in our fare and we really enjoyed it in the morning.

There is not really much to complain about. While on the looks of it, this guesthouse (especially its "main" building) maybe looked a bit older compared to other guesthouses within the same segment we've stayed on our trip, overall it is a great option if you're planning to stay around Myvatn area.

Location could not be any better, so close to so of the area highlights such as the baths, the krafla crater, geothermal area Hverir… Staff is very nice and available You have two bathrooms per unit where there are three rooms, so quite unlike you have to wait to have one to use

Wifi was always reliable I guess this is not property’s fault but sometimes toilets and shower water smell was simply unbearable, probably due to leveraging geothermal resources. It smelled just like Hverir, which again was hard to handle Units are a bit packed and tight, so if you have neighbors using kitchen or bathroom you will get some noise

Good location with easy access to restaurants by car. Room is clean and comfortable

Only 2 bathrooms for sharing among 11-12 guests; should consider to have the WC and the Bathroom separated. Also the hair dryer is inside the bathroom makes it a long wait during peak hours

very nice and friendly stuff, the room was ok. definately on plus can be counted the sink in the room. it was warm enough and clean. check in and check out without any problems. also no problem to park a car. good location - close to main attactions in the area.

the kitchen was very small. usually everybody wants to use it in the evening to cook a dinner. the size allows just one person to cooking and there was 4 or 5 rooms in the place. every accomodation in this area is expensive, compring value for regional prices the Elda guesthouse was ok

The people at Eldá Guesthouse were so friendly. It’s really cosy! Everything is clean and well organized. The kitchen was really good equipped with everything you need. Also the breakfast was so delicious. I ordered gluten free bread but forgot to mention it at check-in, so in the morning it was not defrosted. But instead they baked me some gluten free pancakes in the morning which was so nice and absolutely delicious! We would definitely book again ❤️

Comfortable twin room with own sink, shared bathroom, shared kitchen and breakfast provided. Very friendly helpful staff. We were thrilled with the gluten free breakfast they prepared for two of the family including pancakes, cinnamon rolls and bread. Although the accommodation looks like a scouting hut from outside, it feels modern inside. Great location close to main tourist sights. Would definitely stay here again.

It happens everywhere, but other people can be so noisy when they leave early in the morning!

Everything was recently remodeled and looks really great. Lovely little kitchen/common space that had fresh baked muffins and some other snacks available. Easy to get in and easily walkable through town. The host was also very friendly and helpful and makes sure breakfast items stay stocked

Being the first room off the common space you can hear people if they're noisy. We did actually receive our combination to our room correctly, but our email told us we were in the room next door so only some difficulties when we arrived

Very friendly staff, excellent breakfast, including freshly baked bread. Nice rooms, however a bit old, deserving some renovation but cleaned everyday. We had two bedrooms apartment with living room, super comfortable for our group of 5. We used laundry service, starting afternoon with getting back dried clothes morning next day for 4000ISK.

This place feels like a hub—there are many guests but only one kitchen, so it can get competitive. However, it’s well managed. The front desk is open until 9 p.m., and everyone takes off their shoes at the entrance; the shoe rack by the door is quite a sight. After 10 p.m., it gets very quiet. A simple breakfast is provided. It’s a practical place to stay.
