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.
Located within 1.6 mi of Myvatn Nature Baths, Birkilauf in Myvatn has a number of amenities, including lake and mountain views.

New building. Spacious common area and large sparkling modern kitchen. Including washer/ drier so you can do laundry while preparing a meal. Ready for a large group. Large bedroom and bathroom with shower. The bedroom opens to a deck.
There may be a view. All we saw was snow and fog/ cloud. Iceland was having a late winter to mid-April.
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!
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.
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.
This hotel was very modern and stylish and was in a great location for visiting the Lake Myvatn sites. We loved the free parking, hot tubs in the courtyard, and the beautiful shower in the room with the heated towel bar (perfect for drying bathing suits quickly too!). We ate dinner at the restaurant right next door (Gammi Baerinn) and thought it was really good.
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.
The hotel's location could not be better next to the Mývatn lake and a nice trail that goes through the volcanic area. The facilities were very nice, the room very spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was just amazing and the traditional lamb soup of the hotel's cafeteria was the best one we had in our entire trip!
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.
They do have "jet toilets", which is a bit weird at first.
The hotel itself is very clean and nice. The hot tub at the back is cozy for a hot bath after a day out in the snow. The restaurant is absolutely delicious, but a bit pricy.
Near the hotel is the myvatn bath which is also recommended.
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!
Lovely cottages with all necessary amenities, perfect location and very clean and comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer! The breakfast was excellent and staff very friendly and helpful. Views of Lake Myvatn couldn't be beat! Incredible sunset at midnight.
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.
Great location for sightseeing with beautiful views of Lake Myvatn and surrounding volcanoes. Very comfortable and clean. Staff was very helpful. Public spaces were nice and the food was great. Breakfast buffet was delicious with wonderful bread.
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.
