Miðhraun - Lava Resort

We saw the Northern Lights right outside of our cabin. Big hall for breakfast and dinner - felt very Viking. Really liked the hot tub outdoors.

Lovely cabin with spacious kitchen (fully equipped) and living room, bathroom, and bedrooms. Gorgeous free view to the front all the way to the beaches and impressive lava fields and mountains at the back. Cabin was very well isolated. Restaurant was unfortunately closed because of winter season. Very friendly reception staff.

We rented a cottage for two nights. The cottage was cheaply furnished but clean. The staff was very nice, so based on the accomdations, I would have given them a 4 or a five. However, I was very dissapointed in the breakfast and dinner which I would have rated a 2 or 3. I could not find the resort's restaurant , Hladan on trip advisor, so I lumped the hotel and dinnning room together for a 3 . They serve breakfast starting late at 8:00AM. Everything other place that I have been to in Iceland started breakfast at 7:00AM so you can get an early start. The first morning everything was ready at 8:00AM. However the second morning at 8:00 they were still putting food out and by the time we left at 8:30AM they still had not put everything out. Dinner was a joke as it was so limited. The first night they only had one appetizer, which was a soup ,and two entrees, a fish dish and a lamb dish. This was one of the mosty expensive dinners on our 12 day Icelandic trip. However, the quality was average. The next night we were told that it was essentially the same limited menu, so we ate elsewhere. The resort advertizes a dinner buffet, but I am not sure how often they have it, since it was not offered the two nights we stayed there.

Initially greeted by the chef that was welcoming and went out of his way to show us to our room and inspect the cleanliness. The premises was clean, very modern, and had all the needed amenities including a geothermal pool, full kitchen, and multiple bathrooms. We also went to the dinner buffet which was amazing. Although a bit pricey at around 6,000 isk/ person, the quality and sheer quantity was well worth the price. Kudos to the chef and staff!

Very clean and updated property with a fun trampoline for the kids (or kids at heart). Kitchen was well equipped. Laundry machine was in the unit. Dinner buffet was very nice. We enjoyed the tranquility and the sunset. I did not like that there was a pretty steep charge of 1500 ISK for a towel for the pool (you are not allowed to use room towels). I ended up opting not to use it because of the extra cost.

Our family of 7 afults stayed in the 5 bedroom apar**ent. It was perfect! So well appointed and roomy. It was clean and fresh looking. They have a huge hot tub, everyone enjoyed. Breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend this place

The restaurant at this property was a standout and one of the best meals of our trip. We were also able to relax in the geothermal spring/spa after a day of traveling. The staff was friendly and I would definitely recommend this property.

We loved staying in this resort for 2 days. The property sits on a campus with a restaurant, a traditional guesthouse comprised of a multitude of rentable rooms with full kitchen, and multiple cottages of varying sizes. They have a huge hot tub, playground, and paths to walk on! Friendly staff and great food as well. Highly recommend for a long stay.

The property is very clean, well-organized and the amenities were more than sufficient for us to feel comfortable despite the shared bathroom. The shared kitchen and living space are a pleasant plus. Wish we had brought something simple to prepare in the kitchen. The buffet dinner, prepared by a warm-hearted chef, was very delicious. We had a good stay there.
