I found this place as I was looking for a central location not too far from Husavik or Myvatn after spending a night in Akureyri. We spent 2 nights at this farm house and absolutely loved it. The host family was unbelievably sweet and have maintained the property in perfect shape. We saw the northern lights from the open air hot tub. Great breakfasy, spacious acco and close to all the sightseeing nearby. Definitely 5 stars!

Hotel Laxa is not only beautiful (kudos to the designer who make you feel like you are part of the volcanic landscape), its location serves as a great jumping off point for a day of taking in the sights around Myvatn. We arrived from Eglissadir, after stopping at the Mytvan Nature Baths on our way into town. After a fantastic breakfast of eggs, bacon, waffles and a buffet of fresh fruits and vegetables, we spent the next 6 hours taking in all that Myvatn had to offer. I would definitely return...

Beautiful views! Brand new hotel in akureyi. Very large rooms. With a private bathroom. Nicest hotel I stayed at while in Iceland. Very clean! Wonderful breakfast. The owner was superb! The views from every window of the hotel were amazing.

5 star review, but... It turns out that this hotel is still being built. When we got there, the hotel was not built yet, only the walls. The manager came out to greet us right away and apologized. He said that the hotel was supposed to be built but they had an issue with the contractors. As compensation for the inconvenience, the hotel manager automatically booked us in a 5-star hotel right next door, offered us free tickets to the bath springs next door, and also paid for our din we at the...

Absolutely adorable accommodations. Very efficient use of space and you're right on the lake. There's a grocery store about 7 minutes away if you need anything as well as a wine/beer store. Checkin was easy and everyone we interacted with from the staff was very kind and helpful. Awesome views and peaceful place to rest

Our stay was excellent. The house was immaculate upon arrival, check-in was simple, and the kitchen had salt, pepper, oil, and two bottles of wine. Instructions are provided to guide you through usage of the hot pool and radiant floor heating. We were in house 2, which had a fire pit as well. For those who want to grill, we noticed a propane grill in the utility room on our last day. This was an exceptional stay with a great view and very responsive host. If we can come back, we will.
