Such a nice place !! We checked in late and had to leave early the next morning. We were only there for one night but wished we could’ve stayed longer. The rooms are beautiful, with privâtes bathroom and parking spots. Quiet area and it had everything we needed. The reception and restaurant looked beautiful too, really wished we could’ve stayed !!!

Vogahraun 4, a property with a garden, is located in Myvatn, 5.8 km from Myvatn Nature Baths.

The room was comfy, warm and perfectly located. It's next to Dimmuborgir and 7 minutes away from the Myvatn Nature Baths, so I didn't use the shower in the room. It was self-checking - easy peasy! It's Icelandic tradition to leave your shoes outside so a show rack and show horn are provided outside each room :)

Quietly located 5 km from Iceland's Ring Road and 13 km from Lake Mývatn, this family-run guest house offers views over Sandfell Mountain.

Location was great and the hot tub was an added bonus! The restaurant was lovely too and we loved having the complimentary breakfast each day. Rooms were really spacious too.

Set in Laugar in the North Iceland region, Laugar Guesthouse features a balcony. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are available at the guest house free of charge.

One of the best accommodations in Iceland, which I would recommend to everyone if they find themselves in this area. You have everything you need - a well-equipped kitchen, cleand bathroom, bedroom and living area. Mr. Baldur was a wonderful host and we had a nice conversation. His wife made very tasty homemade cakes.

    When I visited Myvatn, Sel Hotel is always my first choice of accommodation. Its home stay like for me and it never fails me in anyway. All staffs are friendly and its food was always at high standard. Bonus is its location! Apart from staying here during summer, each time I managed to see the aurora! This trip I literally saw it in bed through the window. If you are staying in a room facing front, sunrise or sunset, Lake Myvatn even aurora are all just outside your window.

    This is a great location. Hotel is next to walking trails around pseudo craters. There is a small ice cream shop next to the property with friendly staff, which made for a fun visit with locals. The dinner buffer offered many local specialties which was fun to try.
