We stayed here almost 1 year ago now, and we still dream about our wonderful stay on Lake Myvatn! We were given a very spacious corner room which brought in a lot of light with beautiful Lake views. Our meal in the restaurant was a very memorable experience, romantic, delicious, with a stunning view overlooking the lake. It really was... More

My family group comprised 11, ranging from 4 to 50. We were looked after so well and made to feel very comfortable as if the hotel was our home. Excellent food, fantastic environment and enough of local interest to do during the day. At night of course, we were there to see the lights, which we did by driving a... More

This hotel seems to have been recently renovated but still retains a few of its older features which spoil the finish somewhat. However the rooms were large and clean with good views. If arriving off season and wanting dinner ensure you email the hotel well in advance. Admittedly I did not notice this on the website but was still shocked... More

Probably more of a 2 star hotel. Friendly staff and good quality food if you are happy to have either lamb or Artic Char for dinner. Rooms are adequate if you don't mind no TV or bedside table. Views of lake make up for it though if you are on that side.

As opposed to some of the other reviews, I had no problems whatsoever with the reservation, perhaps because of my approach. I decided first to call the hotel, reserve by phone, and request and email confirmation. I called and spoke to the owner who then gave me his email address. I wrote and email confirming our phone conversation and asked... More

I can sympathise with the reviewers who thought they had confirmed bookings.This is the only thing about the Hotel of which I could complain. I tried to book 10 months in advance by E mail,and I had to resend the E mail atleast 3 times before they replied. Also I E mailed to reconfirm a couple of days in advance... More

We were to stay here and upon checking in were told that there was a mistake and they had overbooked, so the woman in charge sent us to another Sel Hotel, which was horrible. We were stuck as thongs were booked up. It put a damper on our stay in the beautiful area. We ended up paying the same high... More

I reserved Hotel Reykjahlid through email since they had no booking site. I received a confirmation stating that my room was booked (I had provided my credit card #). However, upon arrival I was told that there had been a problem and that there was no room for my stay. Boy was I glad to have my email! I was... More

The hotel is situated at the most romantic place of the lake Myvatn! We had a room with lake view, it was absolutely fantastic! One of the owners, Peter speaks Greek because he was working at Haklidiki some years ago! What a surprise! Ha ha ha! Food was excellent and very well presented, although a bit pricey (but don' t...

Upon arriving in the area we decided we could do all we wanted to do without having to stay two nights. Myvatn isn't too pretty - but it's interesting. The town of Reykjahlid is definitely a good base for all the geothermal activity - and there is a ton - as well as a lovely, laid-back rival to the uber... More
