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.

Room was perfect--cozy and cabin-like. (Geothermal heat, so VERY warm!) We loved waking up early to watch the cows being milked--the farm staff were friendly and happy to talk through the process, and I loved being able to pet the cows! Included breakfast was good value. Highly recommend making the short trip to the Myvatn Thermal Pools--it was our favorite lagoon experience of the trip.

Quietly located 3.1 mi from Iceland's Ring Road and 8.1 mi from Lake Mývatn, this family-run guest house offers views over Sandfell Mountain.

Location was amazing, remote but not hard to reach. The conditions were right and the clouds cleared up for some amazing views of the northern lights! The breakfast was beyond amazing and the best we had at a hotel/hostel/airbnb on our entire 2 week trip. Would definitely stay here again if were ever back in the area!

    Great breakfast included in our stay, rooms were clean and comfortable. It feels more like a hostel instead of a guesthouse, but we definitely recommend this place.

    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.

    The host was very friendly, the house was a dream and the breakfast was delicious. Also, the views were breathtaking. You can tell they care and they are proud of their guesthouse and farm. It was a pleasure being there!

    We absolutely loved staying here. The guesthouse is lovely, the kitchen is huge and room was basic but still felt very cosy. We saw the northern lights perfectly, what a great location! There was also 2 farm dogs running around, who were so friendly and cute! The free breakfast in the morning was amazing as well. This is probably our favourite guest stay in Iceland! Highly recommend!

    Lovely Hotel. Would stay here for the buffet alone! But also - wonderful picture windows if you are lucky enough to see the northern lights, great location with views of natural craters and lots of birdlife. Perfect spot for walking and taking in the view. Staff were very helpful. Free tea and coffee whenever you need it. Great breakfast and dinner buffet options and all in all a very charming hotel with lots of personality.  Elevator was a bonus as we were travelling with my elderly mother.

    Great location at the Myvatn Lake side but still quiet at night, very comfortable beds and bedsheets, great breakfast selection. Free coffee in the lobby, pool table, hot tub and sauna outside. Heating very strong and immediate warmth in the room after switching on. Bus groups hotel stopover for the night, but not disturbing.

    great location at the lake Myvatn, very comfy and quiet rooms with floor heating, great restaurant with delicious dishes (dill cured arctic char, beef burger, lamb shank) and nice beer/alcohol selection, cow farm where you can pet the cows and see the farmers milking them through the windows.
