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.

We stayed here in June 2025. This room was booked using a travel agent. Even though a credit card was used to reserve the room with the understanding they would take the full payment the company chose to hold the reservation. We arrived at the guesthouse and needed to pay the full amount which we paid. A few days later we were billed again. We called them on the phone and were told that our information was texted to their billing manager. We have yet to receive a refund or even a reply to our numerous email attempts. We are now having to dispute this through our credit card. Otherwise our stay wasn't bad. The breakfast was good and there were lots of choices. The room was clean although small. We were disappointed in the breakfast hall as the request was for people to remove their shoes. There was a large group of loud rude guests who kept their dirty hiking boots on while the rest of us wore our socks.
