The location of the hotel was very nice. The hot-tubs outside were free to use and it was superb experience. They gave us bathrobes which was very convenient. Hotel was clean and nice. Staff was very kind to explain everything what we needed to know. They offered us wake up call for aurora.

The room was super cozy and very modern, clean and spacious enough for 3 adults. The restaurant was delightful for a fancy dinner, the food was amazing (albeit pricey) paired with a stunning view. Staff here are super helpful, my partner slipped on the ice and cut his hand, they were able to offer him multiple bandages to cover his wounds.

The drive over through the mountains (if you decide not to take the toll road via Akureyri) is already a treat before you arrive at a unique location in a natural park located in the northern part of Iceland. Our bedroom had an en suite bathroom, and was clean. Waking up to see a fresh (thin) layer of snow covered the outside area was a big bonus. The common space has enough room to not bump into the occupants of the other rooms, and the kitchen is well stocked.
Situated in Myvatn and only 6.5 km from Myvatn Nature Baths, Slow Travel Mývatn - Þúfa - Private Homestay features accommodation with lake views, free WiFi and free private parking.

Lovely location with a view across to a volcano. Very comfortable apartment that was perfect for us travelling with adult children. Hosts were friendly and helpful.
Fly to Akureyri Airport from Reykjavik (45-minute flight), then drive to Myvatn (90km, about 1 hour). International travellers can fly to Keflavik Airport, transfer to Reykjavik (50km, about 45 minutes), then follow the domestic route.
The most convenient airport for both domestic and international travellers is Akureyri Airport, due to its proximity and regular flights. It's approximately 100km from Myvatn, a journey of around 1 hour and 15 minutes by car.
Myvatn, Iceland, lacks public transport. The best options are hiring a car or cycling. Car rental services are available in nearby Akureyri and Reykjahlíð. Cycling is feasible during summer months, with bike rentals available locally. Walking is also an option, but distances between attractions can be considerable. Always check local weather conditions before setting out.
Reykjahlíð is the best area to stay in Mývatn, Iceland. It's conveniently located near the lake, natural baths, and volcanic features. It offers a variety of accommodations, dining options, and is a hub for local tours.
Myvatn, Iceland experiences a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters and cool, short summers. Average temperatures range from -10°C in winter (December to February) to 12°C in summer (June to August). There's no distinct dry or wet season, but precipitation is relatively low, with the wettest month being October. The region is not prone to monsoons or hurricanes.

It's a beautiful lava field and lake system.
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 great, just across from the visitor center and the lake Myvatn. The breakfast is wonderful. The milk is fresh and organic, coming from their own cows. The eggs are from the raised chickens. They have home made ice cream made from the fresh cows milking. I had opportunity to watch the cows’ milking process. We stayed for 3 nights to visit all the attractions nearby. We had the Myvatn nature baths after long days’ volcano hike not far away. The staff and owners are very friendly.
We really enjoyed our stay at the farm guesthouse. Everything was perfectly clean, the beds were comfy, the kitchen is very well equipped and the bathroom is practical and very clean as well. The high note of our stay was of course the breakfast buffet, which was amazing. Homemade products, savory and sweet food, there’s everything you can hope for. We even were able to purchase homemade ice-creams when we arrived, and they were delicious! It’s also perfectly located close to lake Mývatn.
An excellent place to stay next to Lake Myvatn. Located close to Hverir geothermal area and Myvatn Nature Baths (well worth a visit). The restaurant here is superb and the buffet breakfast the best we had in Iceland with meats and cheeses etc. from the farm (there is a very strong farm to plate ethic going on here). The room itself was well sized but cozy and warm (it was minus 13 in the morning so this was important!). Plus you can go and pet the cows and calves!
we had rooms 22 and 23 and they were so comfortable. Beds were comfortable, nice amenities and really liked having the shower with sink and another room for toilet and sink. The setting is perfect and loved convenience for sights around Myvatn. if you stay here, you are guaranteed a reservation at the excellent restaurant which was helpful as so busy. Enjoyed eating watching the cows and the view of the lake.
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 did a tour around Iceland and we stayed one night at Aska Modern Cabin. The cabin is situated in a perfect location near Myvatn lake. The reception is nearby and the crew is helpful and friendly. The cabin has all the facilities you need, even a small kitchen if you want do do your own cooking. And we could park the car really nearby.
The location was perfect after my family enjoyed bath in Myvatn Nature Baths till late evening. The interior design of the hotel was very unique and creative. The bed and linen was so comfy that we could have a good rest. The breakfast was delicious and we could try islandic food. The setting of food was really neat and hygenic.
This is the best stay of our road trip, you can see the Aurora with Myvatn just by lying on your beds in the room and enjoy the heater, their room is near by the lake and the bed is facing the perfect scene with Aurora. We didnt sleep as we enjoy the Aurora and the lake view in our beds for whole night.
The hotel is ideally located right on Lake Myvatn, right across the Pseudo-craters of Skutustagagigarto. There are several other hikes nearby. The hotel is modern and the rooms spacious and very comfortable. The hotel has a Happy hour between 4-6 pm with some delicious cocktails that you shouldn't miss!
The restaurant is really worth a stop even if you are not staying, the white chocolate desert mixed with Skyr was one of the best desert I’ve ever had! Perfect position for the northern lights as there is not light pollution. A little paradise in the middle of Myvatn. Just amazing!
The location on the Myvatn lake was really nice, with a room view of the lake, sunset and sunrise. The included breakfast was plenty and very nice. The host also helped us getting our dinner by phoning nearby restaurants. We love the stay, though it's a little pricy.
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.
beautiful modern new building. we got a corner room with view of the lake which was lovely. about 10 minutes to all the lake myvatn sights we wanted to see, location amazing
Fantastic view and great location in Mývatn.
Room is both beautiful and functional. The deco is modern and very Icelandic. Would love to stay at this hotel again.
