Location is terrific with neat walking experience across the street amongst the craters. The young man at reception was wonderful as were all of our food servers. They do an excellent job of cleaning the entire hotel. The food was excellent at dinner and breakfast. 24/7 coffee/hot drinks was greatly appreciated.

Cozy and clean rooms in a small complex on the 864 unpaved road. Beautiful place with no other surrounding buildings and overlooking a small river and the fields. The check-in is at the Grimstunga Guesthouse and you have to drive around 6 km to reach the room. The hotel has very well equipped shared kitchen and good WiFi.
Set on Lake Myvatn’s northern shore, this property is 5 minutes’ drive from Myvatn Nature Baths. On-site facilities include a communal kitchen, small convenience store and bicycle rental.

The Location was really close to the sights around Myvatn and next to a lava field. We really liked the breakfast buffet, they even had vegan options. Also it was possible to cook our own dinner at the kitchen of the hostel which was nice.
The family-run Vogafjos Guesthouse is in a unique natural environment on the eastern shore of Lake Myvatn. It has rooms with a patio and free Wi-Fi.

The farmhouse is a beautiful accommodation. The staff is very kind and helpful. The restaurant is lovely with its view (on the landscape and the cows!), and the food (mostly homemade with farm products) was delicious! I highly recommend.
Located within 1.6 mi of Myvatn Nature Baths, Birkilauf in Myvatn has a number of amenities, including lake and mountain views.

The host went above and beyond to help guests in the local area! Our car was stuck in a snow drift about 400 m away from the house, and he drove out at 9pm to rescue us and pull us out of the snow. The accommodations themselves were also fantastic. The kitchen was very well-stocked (with basic breakfast ingredients as well as cooking pots/pans), and we made good use of the washer/dryer!
Eldá Guest house is located in Reykjahlíð, just a few minutes on foot from Lake Myvatn. There is a golf course 2461 feet from the property. Each room includes a work desk, a sink and free WiFi.
It's a beautiful lava field and lake system. Old volcanos and lava flows. Dimmuborgir is a legendary place where the Yule Lads sleep through the summer. Bear in mind that the summer can have hatches of midges.
Krafla Power Station, active geothermal mud pools, Mývatn Nature Baths.
If you travel in the winter it's a great place to see the Aurora as practically no light pollution.
Obviously it's not as nice as Akureyri, but I would say that as I live there

Myvatn Lake certainly has beautiful scenery and the weather is typically warmer than the coast. For the full service/hotel travelers I would recommend Fosshotel. For campers there is plenty of accommodations.

So much to see and do in this area!
So much to see and do in this area! Thankfully we were up and out just after nine! We packed in so much! Lots to see down the eastern side of the lake. Each activity offered us something different and unusual that we hadn’t experienced before. The thermal baths there, although smaller than the Blue Lagoon, are much cheaper and actually offer senior rates. Two pools, one warmer than the other and one sort of large hot tub area. Well worth the money! The cakes in the restaurant there and the coffee were some of the best we’ve had and are reasonably priced. They also have larger meals and soups on offer.

Myvatn is a beautiful lake, and the surroundings have plenty to offer to visit and for hiking. It has a great variety of scenic points and shorter and longer walks. At Skutustadir is a nice information centre that also a small exhibition explaining the origin of the circle of craters over there.

Although it was a long drive from the west of Iceland, it was well worth it. There are so many hidden gems: 2 grottos, a fissure off the beaten path, a nature bath that rivals blue lagoon, and so much more. It's also not crowded due to the location. Well worth the drive!
The location is beautiful. The place is family owned and on a farm. On one side of the hotel are rolling hills with horses and on the other Lake Myvtn with a lovely walk around pseudo craters across the street from the guesthouse. There is also a delicious ice cream shop made with the farm’s dairy products. The breakfast was top notch. Almost everything was made in house on the farm (milk, bread, smoked trout, pate). So delicious! Very quiet location.
The campground hosts were very helpful in providing information. The huts are close to a supermarket/gas station and Myvatn lake seems like a vacation spot for the locals. I really liked having a porch to sit on at the end of the day. We used the kitchen of the hostel down the road. The campground bathrooms and showers were kept clean and were walking distance from the huts.
We loved the location, the restaurant on sight, the free coffee, and the fact that we could order a beer and play darts in the lobby! The staff was friendly and kind, and the breakfast bar was one of the best we have seen in any European hotels. The room also had a very deep bathtub great for soaking, and the property had a hot tub and sauna on the premises.
Fosshotels are a chain of upscale hotels in Iceland. We had a room with an incredible view and huge windows and two comfortable chairs in which to take it all in. Comfortable bed, good shower, clean, and reasonable space. We enjoyed an excellent dinner in the hotel's restaurant. Check-in/out was quick and efficient. There is a nice bar/lounge area as well.
We really enjoyed our stay in the hut as it was warm and comfortable. The location not far from lake Myvatn is great and the staff very friendly and helpful. Check-in at the campsite was very easy (with this wind, we were very happy not having to stay in a tent...)
Best of all of course was the breakfast - it was excellent and even had lava bread!
probably one of my favorite properties to stay out! Definitely make a reservation and eat dinner here. It was one of our best meals in Iceland. Complete farm to table type of food and service. rooms are older, but very comfortable and spacious. Loved petting the cows and being on the farm. Beautiful views of the lake.
We were not able to to stay at the hotel since we got stuck at an closed road way before Myvatn, so I cant evaluate the hotel or the rooms. But I want to mention here, that the team was very friendly and opend us the possibility to move our booking to the next date. Very friendly. Thanks!
Everything was clean, new, parking spot just in front of the house. Note that this is a container hotel, with a camping ground too. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the shared bathroom is clean. Great location for visiting Mytvan Lake and its surroundings.
The location is very good, close to the lake. The owner of the property is a very nice person. had a nice and informative talk after dinner. This hotel is more a family house with a pleasant atmosphere.
Close to everything at the Lake Myvatn area. Breakfast was excellent. Dinner was reasonably priced. The staff weee friendly. My room was very clean and it had a great view of Lake Myvatn.
Situated in the beautiful surroundings in front of the lake Myvatn. The most comfortable king size bed, very nice rooms, amazing breakfast, friendly staff. Didn't want to leave. :)
Hotel Laxa is one of my favourite destinations in the world. It is cool, comfortable and friendly. any trip to beautiful Myvatn would not be complete without us staying there.
The hotel was right off the lake. The room was clean and the staff was lovely. The bar looked inviting. There was a pub across the street. The room was decorated very nicely.
Classy hotel on lake MyVatn. Comfy modern room. Nice decor in building. Upscale bar and restaurant. Wonderful breakfast. Close to many attractions around the lake.
If you’re into camping or rustic accommodations, this spot be for you. It’s in a good location in Myvatn and has a lovely breakfast room right on the lake.
