The place is beautiful and in a lovely countryside location with a great view. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this to others. The place was very clean. The only negative was that the cleaning fee wasn’t included in the price and we had to clean the place ourselves.

Perfect place to enjoy the Aurora!
The property is located in a very picturesque place. You have a lot of privacy and the perfect place to enjoy the Aurora!
Well equipped. We stayed two nights. 15 minutes drive to Höfn. The local pool is very nice too.

Very poor communication for check-in, unit clean and warm but basic, a little tired. Overpriced for the facilities provided. Quiet location with rural outlook.

We had to clean extra when we left because it was a bit dirty and we didn’t want to get charged for leaving it dirty. For instance the lamps was really dirty, the vase in the shelf etc. we had to clean it all because of a lot of dust. As well the curtains was molded.
However, we loved the location and the interior was nice. So the potential was definitely there.

Best thing about the place was the cleaning person helping us to access the property. Before that we received no communication about the property, which cabin we were in, or how to access. Thanks to help from the community, we were able to get in. Just a heads up that you are expected to make your own beds and clean (sweep, mop, vacuum, etc.) before you leave.

It's mostly clean, when we got there the cottage was cleaned up well except for the blinds. At some point someone mustve closed the blinds a bit lazily, as when we opened them, there were dozens of dead bugs stuck to the inside of the blinds. Additionally, they don't have a hairdryer on the property, which given the weather, wet hair can be incredibly uncomfortable.
We did not like to have to make our own beds upon arrival. Nor did we like the obligation to clean the property before leaving. Although there was a recycle bin, it could only take bottles and cans. The are a lot of bugs in the area late in the day so we do recommend some repellent if you plan spending time on the porch.
The pictures matched the description. The location was remote. The cottage was very basic. The bedding was not even on the beds when we arrived. It was a complete surprise to read the cleaning requirements once inside the cottage. There was no mention of this when booking. It was not just the basic, clean up after yourself and take the garbage out. The bathroom was expected to be scrubbed. The floors were expected to be swept and mopped. There is a fee if not cleaned when you leave.
This Cottage had wonderful views and was within 15 minutes of Höfn for dining and groceries. It had a decent kitchenette with everything needed for making meals. The beds were comfortable for us. We found most beds in Iceland comfortable. However, we are a family of 4 and it felt kind of cramped at times. When the pullout sofa was setup for sleeping there wasn't really room to access the whole dining table. What was off putting for us was the initial communication from the Myllulækur cottage manager with the self check in instructions. It basically started out that if we didn't clean up the cottage and leave it as we found it, we would be charged a 60 Euro cleaning fee. It felt a little aggressive and then upon inspection when we arrived at the cottage we found the kitchen area rather dirty, especially in the drawers with the pots and pans and utensils. We ended up leaving it better than we found it, but the whole experience turned us off and we felt that communication could have been much nicer. It was also clear to us that they really aren't hiring a professional cleaner to clean up between guest stays. The Cottage also really needs screens on the windows as there are some small biting flies that tend to come in. And there were dead mashed flies in the black out shades when you unrolled them. That said we enjoyed our stay to the area and enjoyed our quiet independence in the cottage.

The host was easy to communicate with. The surroundings were beautiful and peaceful and we were able to view the northern lights from the comfort of the front porch. It was a memorable experience.

It's a nice cabin but the thing with the cleaning is just wierd. There is no cleaning sevice and you basically need to thoroughly clean the cabin for the next guest! I would understand if it was some low-cost option but the place cost like any other place around.

DO NOT BOOK this property.
You are expected to clean the property before leaving and put the sheets on your bed along with the cover for the duvet. The note we received from the owner told us that if we did not clean it property, we would be charged 60 euros. Who goes on vacation and makes and strips beds and vacuums and mops the floor?
The ad on expedia states that the professionally cleaned... this is a lie! Or the cleaner should be fired!
Expedia should not be listing this property on their site given my complaint and the reviews from others.
