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!
This accommodation is a real Aurora restaurant. I watched the Aurora in front of the accommodation for two days without stopping~^^
The heating was good and it was warm.
It's in front of Lake Myvatn, so the view is good. If you open the window at the back, you can see the Volcano's Caldera. I stayed there for 2 days, and the old man at the reception was very friendly. ^^
The two dogs were very friendly..
had a comfortable stay. Next time I visit, I want to stay here again.
Comfortable, well equipped lodge with 4 guest rooms and communal kitchen, dining, living area. Host helpful and provides good range of food to make your own breakfast. Very nice, well equipped kitchen, including washer / dryer which was very useful, and well used by guests whilst we were there. Good location not far from main road and very close to Lake Myvatn and its attractions. Supermarket not far away in Reykjahlio where there is also very good fish and chip take away.
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.
Location is nice, around what's important in Myvatn.
Room is comfy
People are very respectful, since the building is a bungalow it could have been a way worse experience if people were not.
Overall we had a nice stay but compared to all other hotels we had we think it's a bit too expensive for the service offered.
The breakfast room location with a view of Lake Myvatn was fantastic. The breakfast offerings, including several local products, was very nice, though the only hot option was self-made waffles. The front deck on the cabins was a nice touch, The best part was the staff -- very warm and friendly.
This was a great place to stay while we explored the area around Lake Myvtan. It was clean and had amazing views! Our room was spacious and the heated towel bar was a nice addition - helped us dry out our gear from the nature baths. Our first stay at a FossHotel - very impressed!
The hotel decor may be a little dated, but this is a very comfortable, homey place to stay. Our room was huge with a view of craters along the lakeshore. Excellent varied menu at hotel restaurant. Lots of eating options at breakfast buffet. Slept like a dream here. Sorry to leave.
Aside from the great location in Myvatn and the friendly owner and staff - the breakfast buffet is spectacular with home grown and local food products. Easily one of the best breakfasts I have while traveling.
Small room in a cottage, clean and pleasantly warm, no breakfast, helpful staff, quiet place, near Lake Myvatn and Myvatn Nature Bath (like Blue Lagoon but not to much people) and not far from Dettifos,
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.
Hotel Laxa is one of my favourite destinations in the world. It is cool, comfortable and friendly. any trip to beautiful Myvatn would not be complete without us staying there.
This is a luxury hotel. The location is out on a point all by itself. It has a postcard view from all sides. The restaurant is some of the best fine dining I have had.
Classy hotel on lake MyVatn. Comfy modern room. Nice decor in building. Upscale bar and restaurant. Wonderful breakfast. Close to many attractions around the lake.
Good location, a nice start to visit the Myvatn. The hotel has a billiards for all guest and receiption is nice and helpful. The breakfast is also good.
