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!

    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.
