This was a cute little cottage. It is a bit older so the bathroom was not as modern as we would have liked, but very functional. The farm has a fantastic restaurant and provides an amazing breakfast. The area (Myvatn) was not our favourite, but thankful we stayed at the farm which helped our stay.
Located within 2.6 km of Myvatn Nature Baths, Birkilauf in Myvatn has a number of amenities, including lake and mountain views.

The drive over through the mountains (if you decide not to take the toll road via Akureyri) is already a treat before you arrive at a unique location in a natural park located in the northern part of Iceland. Our bedroom had an en suite bathroom, and was clean. Waking up to see a fresh (thin) layer of snow covered the outside area was a big bonus. The common space has enough room to not bump into the occupants of the other rooms, and the kitchen is well stocked.
Situated in Myvatn and only 6.5 km from Myvatn Nature Baths, Slow Travel Mývatn - Þúfa - Private Homestay features accommodation with lake views, free WiFi and free private parking.

Lovely location with a view across to a volcano. Very comfortable apartment that was perfect for us travelling with adult children. Hosts were friendly and helpful.

The Guesthouse is cozy. The rooms and common areas are clean and well organized.
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!
The location is great, just across from the visitor center and the lake Myvatn. The breakfast is wonderful. The milk is fresh and organic, coming from their own cows. The eggs are from the raised chickens. They have home made ice cream made from the fresh cows milking. I had opportunity to watch the cows’ milking process. We stayed for 3 nights to visit all the attractions nearby. We had the Myvatn nature baths after long days’ volcano hike not far away. The staff and owners are very friendly.
An excellent place to stay next to Lake Myvatn. Located close to Hverir geothermal area and Myvatn Nature Baths (well worth a visit). The restaurant here is superb and the buffet breakfast the best we had in Iceland with meats and cheeses etc. from the farm (there is a very strong farm to plate ethic going on here). The room itself was well sized but cozy and warm (it was minus 13 in the morning so this was important!). Plus you can go and pet the cows and calves!
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!
Loved this place.
Breakfast was standard hotel affair, but still very good. You could make your own waffles.
We saw the northern lights here and I think being on the opposite side of the lake helped a lot with the light pollution. Stayed in late September and didn't see a single bug in the town.
Place was clean, quiet, and comfortable.
The hotel is wonderfully located on Lake Myvatin right across from the pseudo craters. It is clean and comfortable with a terrific staff always willing to do anything for you including a wake-up call for the Northern Lights which are glorious. The breakfast is unbelievable with everything anyone could want. Highly recommended.
This is the best stay of our road trip, you can see the Aurora with Myvatn just by lying on your beds in the room and enjoy the heater, their room is near by the lake and the bed is facing the perfect scene with Aurora. We didnt sleep as we enjoy the Aurora and the lake view in our beds for whole night.
I LOVE the Hotel Laxa. It has such a cool laid back vibe and is in the perfect location on the banks of Lake Myvatn. The rooms are cosy and modern, the breakfast is good, the staff are friendly. I can’t praise it enough. We even got to see the Northern Lights from the car park🇮🇸💚
Great location, easy to find, close to lake and Myvatn geothermal baths. Cottages have well equipped common kitchen, room is warm and cozy. Owners are very nice and welcoming, and we loved the 2 extremely friendly dogs on-site
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 view over the lake from the restaurant and from the sauna is amazing! The hotel is comfy, clean and the staff is excellent. Breakfast is really good. Very nice place to stay at lake Myvatn.
Great location near all the must visit sites in the Myvatn area. Great breakfast and cordial staff. Relatively very clean hotel. We even saw the northern lights in our first night!
beautiful modern new building. we got a corner room with view of the lake which was lovely. about 10 minutes to all the lake myvatn sights we wanted to see, location amazing
The property was super clean and conveniently located on the lake.
Easy drives to Lake Myvatn, Godafoss, Dettifoss, Namafjall geothermal area, Husavik.
