Overall Ratings & Reviews Miðhraun - Lava Resort

The property had a nice layout and a beautiful view as well. The cabins are very nice and had good kitchens. Was able to see the Northern Lights, which were fantastic. Only issue - if you could even call it that - was that checkout was at 10 and no one was at reception (building locked) so we had to just leave the key in the cabin.

Great hotel and greqt area to tour feom. Very remote and we were not told bar and restaurant were closed so were lucky we had food.amazing well sticked kitchen. Spotless and toasty warm. Hot tub was fabulous. Great hotel resort overall

There is no hair conditioner, no body lotion in shared washroom. There is no paper in the kitchen. You can hear the noise from common areas, and other rooms when sleep

I came in early winter. Very much the low season. In winter the place feels truly remote, a refuge from the world, which is what I came for. There are a couple easy thing they can do for low-season guests below. The building interior was nice and warm. It was a very nice refuge from the cold, The room was so warm that even with the thermostat all the way down I was overheating until I cracked a window. Yes, in an Icelandic winter. The hot bath is the highlight of the property and my main reason to go there. I didn't quite understand that breakfast had to be pre-ordered. This makes sense, especially in the low season, but I don't remember if this was in the welcome message. Can there be an option when signing up to pre-order for the first morning? Or... we might order ahead for some groceries to be left in the kitchen: muesli or some such. Hostel stuff. Also for winter: I really recommend better lighting by the geothermal pool... maybe just low-power path lighting to make it easier to find your way from the pool to the showers or sauna after sunset. Twice I wanted to use the sauna but didn't because I couldn't see the way to get to it.

Great new cabins, the hot pool is only available at a cost which we weren’t aware (and the breakfast as well). Location is not ideal as it’s quite remote

Nice and Quite location..

What a beautiful 2 days we spent at midrhaun I went to the hot tub which was gorgeous and my husband went on search of the ultimate picture of kirkjufell. We even caught a sighting of the aurora. What an amazing experience!

This was our favorite place that we stayed while on vacation in Iceland. The views were fantastic, the kids could walk to the park, and we could walk to the geothermal bath on the property. The rental itself had everything we needed. If we come back to Iceland, we will be staying here.

Received multiple contradictory check in instructions. It was unclear that we were renting a room and not an apartment in a hostel situation. Rules with fees posted everywhere which felt incredibly unwelcoming. Fees to use basic facilities we were expecting. Would not recommend if you have better options.

Nice place, great shower room

Loved this hotel. Restaurant at hotel very good. Very peaceful area. Very nice and clean living space.

The cottages and the setting are beautiful. The geothermal pool is a welcome touch.

Loved our 2br appt with laundry attached. We checked in at the restaurant after hours at 9:40pm, smooth and kind. We were only there for under 12hrs as check out is at 10am. We were bummed when we saved showers for our stop in the hot spring only to be told that the hot spring was an additional fee for each of us. We skipped it. I think you should include the fee in the stay, even if you increase the overnight price.

The place is a gem! Exquisite, well taken care of property with many conveniences. To start, the cabins are all new and extremely clean. We loved that there was a bed for each of our 5 family members, and very cool that they can accommodate larger groups in larger cabins. The views were magnificent, and we loved that there were sheep on the property. The sauna was beautiful and the surrounding stream was very peaceful. The food at the restaurant was A , but pricey. I guess this is to be expected in Iceland. The restaurant itself had a lot of personality! We would definitely come here again and highly recommend.

Beautiful property, wonderful staff, absolutely fantastic dining options and chef Jacek really cared about his customers. The view is picturesque and the location is really stunning.

Interesting location. Clean rooms

We stayed in Iceland for 7 days and a different place every night. This was the BEST place we stayed. Beautiful, clean, spacious, comfortable beds, great details, geothermal pool, cold plunge, amazing food, washing machine, playground for kids, and beautiful scenery. This was a step above!!!

Our room was very nice and the amenities were great. The bedroom and bathroom were both very pleasant and very clean. Loved the smell of the shampoo and body soap. Dinner and breakfast at the restaurant there were both delicious. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely resort! Would stay again. Our house was clean and felt brand new. The only thing that was a concern was the design/location of the exhaust fan over the cooktop. Watch your head!

The room was fine, but all the other aspects are terrible. The hotel sent me 2 identical check in instructions after I made the reservation and on the day of the reservation saying that it's a self check-in process and a map of the resort. We followed the instructions: my name will be on the window of the main door of the room and the room will be open after 4 pm, but there was no name all at the house , the door was NOT open either. We thought we messed up our room number and followed the instructions again that we could find a room number list inside the greenhouse. There was NO room number list in the greenhouse. I called the front desk and the reception asked me to go to the restaurant. We went to the place labeled as "breakfast" on the map provided by the hotel, the place was not the restaurant. We had to drive around the resort to find the restaurant. I am amazed that every single check-in detail provided by the resort is completely wrong. We had dinner at the restaurant. There were only 3 groups of people at the time, yet it took them 50 minutes to get our food. The food wasn't great either. The beef tenderloin was overcooked, and it tasted gamey. We also ordered a lobster bisque, and it was supposed to have bread coming along with the soup, yet the bread came 5 minutes after the soup was served, and it was darn cold. With the quality being so low, the food was surprisingly expensive. It was around the same price as a fancy fine dining restaurant in Reykjavík. We al
