Ásdis is a sunny host at this this small, homely guesthouse with lava-field views. There are
just three rooms and one bathroom, but they're bright, spotless and tastefully decorated.

A range of decent options here, 2.5km south of Reykjahlíð: camping, sleeping-bag accom-
modation in utilitarian prefab huts, and a newer block of compact guesthouse rooms, with
and without bathroom. Sleeping bags reduce the price, as does staying a second night.

Fresh scents of pine and cedar fill the air in these log-cabin rooms (cosy with underfloor
heating), set in a lava field 2.5km south of Reykjahlíð and a few minutes' walk from the
Cowshed restaurant, where breakfast is served. Most rooms sleep two, with family rooms
also available.

The grand dame of Mývatn hotels is a smartly dressed 40-room hotel. The superior rooms
aren't a noticeable upgrade; they only have slightly better views, plus a little more space.
Also here is a restaurant, plus lounge-bar and sauna. We like the nine rooms at its cosier
annexe, the pretty, lakeside Hótel Reykjahlíð (same prices).
