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 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!
Set on a farm next to Lake Mývatn, this guest house offers self-catering rooms and cottages with free WiFi and nature views. The geothermally heated Mývatn Nature Baths are a 10-minute drive away.

Easy and friendly check-in , clean room, good facilities, nice view
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 hotel was nice and everything was first class, with a great restaurant. They also had a coffee machine in the lobby which had every possible coffee (latte, mocha, etc) and this was free and available at all times. The location fronted the Pseudocraters and Lake Myvatn which are amazing. It is also within driving distance of a number of attractions. The staff are very helpful, and also offer a wake up call at night if Northern Lights are visible. Hotel price also included a good breakfast buffet.
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.
Comfortable, well equipped lodge with 4 guest rooms and communal kitchen, dining, living area. Host helpful and provides good range of food to make your own breakfast. Very nice, well equipped kitchen, including washer / dryer which was very useful, and well used by guests whilst we were there. Good location not far from main road and very close to Lake Myvatn and its attractions. Supermarket not far away in Reykjahlio where there is also very good fish and chip take away.
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.
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.
Location is nice, around what's important in Myvatn.
Room is comfy
People are very respectful, since the building is a bungalow it could have been a way worse experience if people were not.
Overall we had a nice stay but compared to all other hotels we had we think it's a bit too expensive for the service offered.
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.
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!
Very nice hotel in very good location to explore the area around lake Myvatn. The room was very clean and the beds very comfortable. The breakfast buffet offered a very good variety of food. We can recommend this hotel!
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.
Location is great - convenient for visiting scenic spots around Lake Myvatn. Food is good (both breakfast and dinner). Service is consistently professional and warm. Hotel is modern and clean.
Hotel location perfect for hiking nearby trails. Great views. Breakfast was amazing and perfect for days we hiked. Room spacious for three adults. Clean and comfprtable. Breakfast the BEST!!!
The view over the lake from the restaurant and from the sauna is amazing! The hotel is comfy, clean and the staff is excellent. Breakfast is really good. Very nice place to stay at lake Myvatn.
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.
This is where we saw the northern lights for the first time. Friendly staff and a short drive over to the Mývatn bath. Cute little cottage. Good lake view.
