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 pleasant visit
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.

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.

I find it strange that they did not provide hairdryer & when I asked for it, they said it’s because guests have taken it in the past. So hairdryers are only upon request now! Their heaters were installed on the floor & too warm for summer. When asked how to adjust, they responded to just open the windows. During the night, the bedrooms became a bit too warm. Other than that, still a great place to stay as the amenities are well maintained & place very spacious. We like the patio where we could sit outside.

Received an upgrade to a beautiful cabin in an idyllic setting. Your sat nav link is incorrect and took us to a building site. The property is 50 mins away further than we wanted to go! The owner says she has people call late at night and then have to travel much further. This needs to be rectified asap

We loved the location and the accommodations. The apartments were incredible. We have no complaints with the service, but did miss having a chance to interact with anyone. Having self check-in & checkout and a phone number to call if we needed anything made it seem more like a self-catered apartment than a resort or a farm stay.

Gorgeous property and location. Even though it’s remote it’s well located and conveniently for exploring the peninsula. Nice decor and well stocked kitchen. The in-room sink was appreciated. It would have been even better if there was an additional powder room with toilet as one bathroom for showering and toilet amongst 6 adults made for congested evenings and mornings when everyone is trying to leave around the same time. But on the whole the property was outstanding and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to friends and family.

The room was perfect and we cooked a great dinner in the large, fully functional kitchen (shared). Everything we needed was there and all very clean and comfortable. We went for a pleasant walk around the pretty property to see the sheep and plants and great views of the mountains. We would definitely stay again.

A Fantastic place to stay and enjoy
We absolutely LOVED our stay at Lava Water. The location is wonderful for restfulness, yet in a great location to explore all of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. You'll want to spend two or three nights there to visit everything in the area. Our spacious two bedroom apartment just could not have been nicer or cleaner. We enjoyed a tour of the sheep and horse part of the farm, and great conversations with the friendly and fun Anna. We also were lucky enough to see the Aurora Borealis on Aug 31. What a special summertime treat that was! Restaurant Tip: Drive 37 kms to Stykkishólmur and have one of the best seafood meals of your life (especially the unbelievably flavorful steamed mussels cooked to absolute perfection) at Sjávar Pakk Húsiđ.

We stayed in a triple room with shared bathrooms and amenities. Everything was clean and well-equipped. It wasn't too crowded during our stay so the shared bathrooms weren't a problem, but keep it in mind if you go during high season. The only inconvenience was the self check-in. We didn't know which building we should be looking for, but a quick phone call sorted it out. There are several guest-houses on the property, and a great place for kids to play (with a charming play house, slide, and trampoline). Behind the houses is a wonderful moss-covered lava field with a babbling stream and several pools.

Perfect Snaeffelsnes Peninsular base camp
Lava Water Accommodation is comprised of various units on an organic sheep farm. We stayed in what is described on hotels.com as a one bedroom apartment but which is actually a cute little self-contained cottage (and haven't seen the other units). It's like staying in one of those perfect little demonstration areas you see in IKEA stores. We couldn't explore the farm itself as there are so few winter daylight hours and we were out and about, but it's a great base camp for a circuit of the Snaeffelsnes Peninsular. I am generally wary of very small, independently run places, as you often need to call in advance for check-in codes or to visit another location first to get the key, but this couldn't have been easier. But you do need to plan in advance and arrive with groceries, as the nearest supermarket is approx. 25 miles away. Or you could eat at the small restaurant a few miles down the road. The only complaint in the cottage is that a child-size bunk bed has been added over the pillow ends of the twin beds and it creaked and moved during one especially windy stormy night. Otherwise, it's picture perfect. Note: As of December 2018, approx 10 small houses/rental units are being built adjacent to the farm, so there will be a little more traffic and activity starting in 2019.

The CUTEST little cottage!! Our trip to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula was hijacked by crazy wind, but we had a lovely stay in the little yellow cottage at Lava Water. Had everything we needed for a relaxing quiet night, and I would go back without hesitation. Anna was great at timely communication, and helpful with any questions we had. Highly recommend!
