Went in the winter/february. Great value, very nice bit remote location but close to all the sites and nature bath. Really great stay. Very nice staff.
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.

Check in was quick, staff was friendly, rooms are nice, location is beautiful (great for northern lights), and the meal was surprisingly the best we had on our entire trip!

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.

This was the best choice of our trip in Iceland to stay at Vogar Travel Service since Northern light came beautifully at around midnight. A kind couple from England who shared the accommodation with us knocked on our door telling us to see the Northern light, very impressed to see how it moved in the sky. It was the first time of my life.
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!
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 really liked the location, close to Lake Myvatn and all the incredible geological attractions in the area. The rooms were rustic in character, like being in cabins, but comfortable on the whole. We liked that there was a small patio area in front, so we could dry our towels and swim suits and leave our muddy boots outside. The restaurant was a lovely space, as was the sitting area in the lobby. The restaurant provides views of the farm (including the cows) and the lake.
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 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!
The guesthouse provided sufficient privacy and room for our group of 4 in the cabins. The breakfast served in the communal space was impressive, and we talked about it for days after. As a bonus, the host was even able to provide a discount to the nearby Lake Myvatn baths in which we took advantage. On-site dogs are extremely friendly.
Nice location very close to lake Myvatn. Very friendly receptionist, who took her time to explain everything we needed to know. We booked a suite, which was nice and spacious with a bedroom and a sitting room. We had dinner in the garden of Gamli Baerinn, the tavern next door that belongs to the hotel. Nice food and friendly waiters.
The location was right across from the lake and there were a couple of hiking trailheads there. Driving to the sights and other hikes were close also. One night we were going to go to a farm restaurant but couldn't get in. We ended up eating in the hotel restaurant and it was excellent.
They offer different options for dinner in the hotel. The hotel is located in a beautiful and quiet place in the proximity to Myvatn lake and pseudocraters just across the road. Good location for an exploration of various natural wonders in the surrounding area.
Absolutely superb hotel. We had a room on the top floor with superb views over Lake Myvatn. Excellent restaurant. Friendly efficient staff.
I could not fault this hotel, the best hotel I have stayed in in Iceland.
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 corner room is wonderful to feel warm and comfortable and enjoy the outdoor winter view. The staff was pleasant and helpful, We really enjoyed this hotel in middle of the volcanic area of Myvatn.
Clean! Rich and fresh breakfast. VERY professional staff. Staff is friendly and warn you about paid tunnel ahead. One of best hotels I've been in Iceland!
