Ideally located to visit the area. The room was warm, comfortable and the view over the craters really lovely. The bathroom was spotless but the water pressure was a bit of a issue. Plenty of choice at breakfast, many cuts of fish available! The hot dishes instead were already cold at start of service.
This hotel is quietly situated 2 km from Lake Mývatn and 30 minutes’ drive from the Godafoss Waterfall and Krafla Crater. It offers free Wi-Fi and rooms with modern furnishings.

Location good for attractions but will need a car. The kitchen is good for tea coffee but there is no access to a fridge. Breakfast was fine. Loved the pancakes. Tip ... go to the Jardbodin spa and eat there. Lovely way to end day.
The family-run Vogafjos Guesthouse is set in a unique natural environment on the eastern shore of Lake Myvatn. It offers rooms with a patio and free Wi-Fi.

This is my favorite place in Iceland. A working farm with a lovely hotel and fabulous restaurant. The cows are friendly, the staff is excellent, and the rooms are comfortable and well-appointed. It's right in the middle of the Myvatn area, close to everything (lake, lava fields, hiking, etc.)
Located within 2.6 km of Myvatn Nature Baths, Birkilauf in Myvatn has a number of amenities, including lake and mountain views.

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.
Eldá Guesthouse is located in Reykjahlíð, just a few minutes on foot from Lake Myvatn. There is a golf course 750 metres from the property. Each room includes a work desk, a wash basin and free WiFi.

The room was average and unfortunately was not the room we booked (was meant to have a desk in it). The guesthouse had an unusual smell but overall it was clean. Great location and the receptionist was lovely.
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!
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!
The location is superb: it's in the south of the lake and there are no obstacles around so it's the perfect place for watching northern lights. The hotel is newly built so everything is modern and comfortable. The rooms are spacious and have big windows facing the sky, meaning you can watch the starry sky or even spot the northern lights in the comfort of your room. The breakfast is also very nice. In all, it's definitely worth the price.
Good modern hotel close to Myvatn. With some quirky decorative features to differentiate from blander, samey modern hotels. Queen room bit smaller than expected but not a major issue. Some good sustainable ideas like a voucher valid for money off food drink bill in hotel if staying more than one day and choose not to have room cleaned, towels changed etc.
Had hot tubs too but didn't get chance to use.
The room is really spacious. There is a pool table and dart in the lobby. The tea and coffee in the restaurant are self-service, even including a bottle of honey and milk, so you can have them as much as you like. There are even two hot wooden tubs and a sauna outside, though we didn't use them. The breakfast has a wide variety of foods. The hotel is right beside a walking trail around 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 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.
The triple room was spacious and nicely decorated. The little balcony was a nice touch that we were not expecting. The hotel has beautiful surroundings, it was still beautiful even though we didn’t pick a room with lake view, it would have been nicer with a lake view though. The breakfast was really nice.
This was a great place to stay while we explored the area around Lake Myvtan. It was clean and had amazing views! Our room was spacious and the heated towel bar was a nice addition - helped us dry out our gear from the nature baths. Our first stay at a FossHotel - very impressed!
Aside from the great location in Myvatn and the friendly owner and staff - the breakfast buffet is spectacular with home grown and local food products. Easily one of the best breakfasts I have while traveling.
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.
The location is perfect. Just in front of Lake Myvatn. The staff at dining time was awesome, engaging with us and giving us good tips for the rest of our travel. Hospitality at its best.
Excellent location. We ended our night with a visit to the Myvatn Nature Bath and started the next day with a yummy breakfast next the Myvatn lake. What more to ask.
The property was super clean and conveniently located on the lake.
Easy drives to Lake Myvatn, Godafoss, Dettifoss, Namafjall geothermal area, Husavik.
the location and views can’t be beat! it was a great base for exploring the Lake Myvatn area. staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great!
