Great location.
Great location to the lake, sulfer steam pots, Kafla, and good restaurants for every budget. Good walking trails too. Gas station close by.

Cute place, very well situated. But take earplugs. Quiet hours are until 7am but the hotel was crashing about making breakfast from 6am so we couldn't sleep any further. About what you'd expect for a hostel type experience

Friendly Staff
We stayed at Eldá Guesthouse for four nights, and found it to be a perfect home base for exploring the Myvatn area. Conveniently close to grocery shopping, which made it easy to prepare our meals in the kitchen. All the staff , including reception, kitchen and cleaning, were wonderful. Thanks for your hospitality!!

Clean, Good room, and kitchen. Wonderful breakfast in the morning. Note the hot water is geothermal and smells highly of sulfur (though this is likely the case everywhere in the region, just giving a heads up). Other than the cold shower we took, everything else was great!

Amazing location. There are so many natural wonders within a very short driving distance from the guesthouse. But the property is pretty dated. There is very little beyond spartan level facilities. One really really big plus for the guesthouse is the breakfast. The staff is also very accommodating.

The staff was very kind and the breakfast was very good. The only things that I did not like were that the wifi never worked and that the location did not have a good variety of places to eat near by. Other than that, the property was fine.

I have stayed before. All fine with check in and my room as before, but the people coming into room 8 next door came late and loud, completely ignoring signs not to use the kitchen after 10pm. Very inconsiderate, woke me up for a long time, crashing about with pans and cutlery. Please Elda make the signs bigger and in different languages as they were German.

No hot springs.
The lure of a hot springs on the property to soak in was the main reason we chose this place over other locations. There is NO HOT SPRINGS. Laundry facilities also advertised. They will do your laundry for you, but you cannot do it yourself. It will cost 2000 ISK. No complaints about anything else. Breakfast add on will be 2000 ISK. It was a good breakfast overall.

Enjoyed my stay here. Easy check in. Room was basic but fine with sink. Bed was comfortable. Showers and toilets always available and clean. Despite moving the bed away from the window to avoid the radiator handle, I moved in the night and still hit it.

Good location/Great breakfast!
The Elda Guesthouse was nice - not fancy, but clean and comfortable. We chose it for the location as it was in the area we planned to visit the next day. Checking in was easy as was checking out. Bathroom was clean and the beds had pretty duvet covers. Excellent breakfast in the morning! Would recommend if you’re traveling on a budget.

The location and breakfast were very good here. It's very basic accommodations, and pretty expensive, but I think that's typical for this part of Iceland. If you are looking for a simple place to sleep, this is fine.

Very functional room with sink in the room. Easy check-in process (they accommodated my late check-in without any issue). Staff was really nice, offered to answer any questions; offered me clean towels after my first night. Common kitchen with access to new large fridge to store food, and everything to cook a meal. Very convenient location, 3-min walking distance to supermarket, visitor center, activity center and hiking routes. The walls are thin so you can hear people in the corridor but I was so tired from hiking that I fell asleep immediately and slept very well. Ate breakfast on the little picnic table in the garden, and dried my bathing suit towel on the drying racks outside. Not the most charming building but overall very happy with my stay.

worst experience of our entire trip
This was by far the worst experience of our extended trip. The beds were uncomfortable. The shower was moldy. The building was extremely loud with paper thin walls. There were kitchens and bathrooms at both ends, so there was no break in the noise. It was noisy until 1100pm and started again with the pounding of footsteps and slamming doors at 0616am. No good restaurants close to speak of. Front desk was of limited help and availability. We didn’t even wait for breakfast in the morning. I wish we would have pushed on a little farther and stayed in Húsavík for two nights instead of one.
