perfect location for watching northern lights and exploring an awesome area of the country, beautiful hotel, great food, friendly and super kind and helpful staff

Great location, fantastic design of hotel, comfy room

The northern lights wake up service. We were very lucky the night we stayed!

good location, good amenities, great views, good staff.

The hotel is beautiful and sports amazing views. It offers several sitting areas throughout the hotel to enjoy the natural setting. The breakfast was good and the staff was lovely. I appreciated the Northern Lights wake up call too! Such a beautiful hotel!

The room was very nice and clean, and dinner onsite was great. Breakfast options were pretty standard.

Location is great - convenient for visiting scenic spots around Lake Myvatn. Food is good (both breakfast and dinner). Service is consistently professional and warm. Hotel is modern and clean.

The hotel is modern and seems pretty new/well kept. Our family of 4 had 2 rooms toward the end of the hallway. The size of the rooms were good and everything was clean and tidy. I liked the sitting area by the window and the hot water kettle/tea in the room. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good with juice, fresh fruit, eggs, breads. We had dinner in the restaurant once- limited choices but we were happy with the fresh fish and tacos that we had. Overall we had a nice stay and I would definitely recommend Laxa if you're in the Myvatn area.

Breakfast was delicious.The view and setting were striking. It’s a lovely hotel.

Good location, extensive breakfast buffet. Staff was super friendly.
