The staffs were beyond amazing! We were caught in a snow storm prior to our arrival and thank goodness we managed to reach the hotel and the staffs were so helpful. We had our delicious dinner in the hotel and their breakfast selection was good as well. Bed was comfortable. The hotel offers Aurora wake up call too for those who needed it.
This hotel is quietly located 1.2 mi 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 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!
Breakfast was fantastic. The overall feeling about the Hotel is that it's caring for the environment, and we humans are part of the environment. The linens are cleaned without scented detergent. This is the first time in all of our travels that my husband hasn't been allergic to the room. The buffet breakfast is likewise varied and healthy. I felt very safe and comfortable with the COVID precautions taken by the hotel. It's also in the perfect location for visiting both the Myvatn Nature Baths and Husavik.
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.
This is our third stay with Sel Hotel in Mývatn. It is the location, comfort and hospitality making us coming back and again. Rooms are spacious and if you've been given a room facing the front road, you could see the lake and northern light from your window. Breakfast with lots of choices and staffs are always friendly. We had several dinners at the hotel and each time no disappointment! I love staying with Sel Hotel and would recommend it to anyone going to Mývatn.
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.
We stayed in a two bedroom cottage and it was absolutely perfect to explore the Myvatn Lake area. The place is well equipped and quite spacious.
Be sure not to miss the breakfast if you are staying there - they have a small buffet of local/homemade products and it was delicious. Would stay there again only for the breakfast ! They also sell some of their farm products on site which was great.
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.
A great hotel. Friendly and helpful staff and a wonderful location, with views out over the lake. Our room was spacious and comfortable and we had a pleasant meal in the restaurant that evening. Breakfast the next morning was a generous spread. I didn't think the pictures did it justice, and I would recommend staying here if in the Mývatn area.
Central location at lake Myvatn. Proper rooms with bath and comfortable bed. We were here in August, so there were thousands of flies and mosquitos which dont bite, so its just a little bit stressful when they invade your head. :) Nothing to do with the guesthouse, just consider this at that time of the year.
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!
This hotel is convenient to exploring the whole Myvatn area. Rooms are clean and comfortable, if a bit dated. The included breakfast was pretty good with lots of options (including make your own waffles), and the on-site restaurant was a good place to grab dinner.
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 room was very good and clean, and the breakfast was one of the best we had in Iceland.
There is an option if you wish to be notified in case of Aurora.
Also the location is very good, at Myvatn lake, a nice place to visit.
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.
This is a luxury hotel. The location is out on a point all by itself. It has a postcard view from all sides. The restaurant is some of the best fine dining I have had.
