Out in the middle of nowhere with great views of a glacier. Great if you want that but bring groceries because there is nothing close. Not much sound proofing between rooms and trouble with getting hot water but they did try and adjust the water temp to accommodate but think system was not adequate for too many guests using at once.

Beautiful place!! Breakfast was a wonderful selection of pastries, eggs, sausage, cereal, juice as well as yogurt, over night oats and a delicious barley based porridge. Dinner was excellent but definitely on the pricey side but we found that to be true of all the hotel provided dinners.

Miðhraun - Lava Resort
Bakkatunga

Accommodations were very spacious and location was beautiful. Staff were all very friendly. Would have preferrred to at least have coffee provided in the room. Coffee was only in dining area with breakfast which came with a purchased breakfast. Sauna and mineral pool was a nice perk. I know algae is a natural part of thermal springs but it doesnt look very inviting when there are many clumps of algae floating all over the surface of the hot tub. Felt like a little scooping would be to everyone's benefit, lol.

Hotel itself was cozy and stagg very friendly. You definitely get a continual smell of sulfur from the geothermal plant next door. Location was great for exploring the area and getting to the airport the next morning.

How can you not be blown away but seeing the movement of continental plates and geothermal activity. We did not do the snorkeling into Silfra fissure but wish we had! Everyone we met who did it said it was amazing and not that cold with dry suit.
