This hotel is not very inclusive of people with food allergies or suitable for children.
We stayed at the hotel in June 2024 during a severe weather warning when we were restricted / couldn’t travel anywhere.
Our 7 year old daughter has a dairy and egg allergy. There was no dairy free milk or dairy free butter at breakfast which significantly limited our daughter’s breakfast options. In addition to this there was no sausage or bacon. It was all cheese, yoghurt, cold meats, cereal, none of which a child would eat / could eat.
I mentioned this to the staff and all they could suggest was she eat fruit. There was no offer to try and accommodate her allergies. This was very stressful given the fact we were stranded at this hotel (roads closed due to snow). They didn’t even have a kids menu for lunch/evening.
I think this hotel is more geared to couples, not families and certainly not people who have allergies.
As a result every night, we risked driving 4 minutes up the road in bad weather so my daughter could eat at the restaurant next to another hotel.
In summary I would also advise not staying in Lake Myvatn, but in Akuyeri.
Lake Myvatn is in the middle of nowhere and if you get snow (in June!!!) you will be stranded. Nobody clears the road between Akureyi and Lake Myvatn.

This property is a treat as they have a farm, restaurant and the inn. We enjoyed everything except the wind and rain - lol! The owner/manager was super helpful with Road.IS as a big storm was on our heels and many roads were closed. I would highly recommend this property!

The room is quiet and a bit far from the restaurant, but the food was delicious and you could even see the cows being milked on site.

Absolutely amazing! One of our favorite stays, rooms were simple but exactly what we needed. Don’t skip a visit to the cows and the restaurant was absolutely fantastic.

Pictures on the website do not do justice. Our room was modern and impeccable. Restaurant was good. Internet service was poor when we stayed.

Unfortunately we could hear our neighbors talking all night, and they were not talking loudly.

The room was big and well decorated.

Centrally located to visit Myvatn region. Very clean, spacious and convenient rooms who do not really have an interesting outside view though. But who cares, you don't come to this region to stay in your room. The view from the main building is much more open to the countryside on one side and looking directly into the stables on the other side. The restaurant/bar is very nicely decorated, staff is very friendly and helpful and food served is really good. For us this was our favorite guesthouse on our 11 days roundtrip of Iceland!

This guesthouse is in prime location but is extremely expensive for the quality. It is maybe 2 star accomodation. A clean room with a comfortable bed- zero amenities in the room, more like a cabin with running water but the cost of a 4 star hotel elsewhere. The restaurant and service were good but I would rather pay slightly more for something nicer. So far my least favorite spot of 6 nights of our trip.

Nice, clean place to stay in convenient location. No real restaurants though. There are towns 30 minutes away that offer food and lodging.

I enjoyed seeing the cows on the property. Both dinner and the breakfast provided was excellent. It was a pity that I did not get to see the Northern Lights while I was here, one of the main reasons I decided to stay at this town but the stay at this hotel ended up being one of the main highlights of this stay.

I enjoyed my trip to Myvatn with a stay at Vogafjos Guesthouse.The restaurant served an excellent hamburger. The facilities were nice. My only complaint is that the shower was somewhat small and the bath gel was empty which I didn't find out until my shower was underway. There weren't many people in the cabins, but all of the guests were placed in adjoining rooms, so I would have preferred a little more isolation.

Loved our stay - the staff was fantastic and bent over backwards to ensure we were fed well!

Incredibly good value for money. Our room was cosy and spacious. Parking was super close so easy to get luggage in and out. Very quiet location. Restaurant and shop over the road was lovely especially seeing the milking cows. Beautiful scenery and we saw the northern lights!! Highly recommend.

I loved staying at this location and getting to go in and pet the cows. The room was nice and the staff was kind. I would definitely stay here again!

This was our favorite place that we stayed during our trip around the ring road. We were supposed to stay two nights, but we're unable to arrive until our second night due to road conditions further north. They were so understanding and accommodating. We will definitely stay again.

This working farm was such a delightful stay on our trip around the Ring Road. Their farm-to-table restaurant is fantastic. 5 stars!!
5.0
Nice accommodations, Guesthouse is like a beautiful rustic wood cabin on inside. We liked our room very much. Room was very quiet and peaceful.
Restaurant is a short walk across road (not a busy road). Restaurant has has a nice menu, good food. Adjacent cow barn and milking room can be viewed through window of restaurant. Very interesting to watch which is encouraged by staff. Staff is cross-trained to do all restaurant/guesthouse/farm functions and is most informative and friendly. They all are English fluent and likely speak other languages too other than Icelandic which is common throughout Iceland. This was our favorite place to stay of all the properties we stayed at around the island including top tier hotel chains and a few similar places. Highly recommend Vogafoss Guesthouse and its restaurant. Would be good for couples and families with children. (Can pet friendly cows in cow barn).

The stay is a basic cabin style. Breakfast didn’t offer any alternative for vegan, restaurant limited choices and expensive. Overall feel that the place is overpriced and overrated.
5.0
Wonderful. I stayed at Fosshotels the entire trip and I enjoyed this place the most. You are at a real farm (and can see the cows being milked).
Americans: bring bar soap for all hotels unless you like foam or cream soap with your hands.
All countries: the walls here are a tad thin so keep the (ahem snuggle) activities a tad quieter or for old guys like me, don’t slam the bathroom door for that 3 am bathroom visit.
Lovely area. Truly lovely.
Breakfast: traditional European—6 breads, 10 cheese and meats, yogurt w every mix in but the “pour” type of yogurt. Sourced locally.
5.0
Great rural setting. Cow shed is briliant - one half houses the cows and the other is a great restaurant and relaxing bar area.

What a charming and memorable place. The room was clean and inviting, the restaurant had excellent food and service. The staff took great pride in their farm and really made our experience special. Highly recommended.

A quite expensive hotel 130€ for a couple with breakfast). The rooms are located in a wooden building and you can hear easily your neighbors shower, door and even when they pee. No TV in rooms and not a big bed but 2 separate beds only. The very good part is the restaurant that is really help you to spend good times. Breakfast is also good.
5.0
The room was a very cute mountain cabin style.
The bed was very comfortable, shower was nice, room was clean, breakfast was so delicious.
The restaurant was amazing. Everything was tasty, view was stunning . And fun to see the farm cows too.
The only small problem we had was to find our room. The front lady explained to us, but still took little while to find our room. If there are some signage in front of the building and on the street, it would be helpful. But we figured out.
Would like to come back again!

We truly enjoyed our (2) night stay at Vogafjos Guesthouse! Dinner is a most as we both enjoyed the burger and Arctic char! Breakfast is included and we advise trying their fresh squeezed milk from their own cows (which can be seen while eating your meals through a glass window on site). The log cabins are simple but they are comfortable, warm and picturesque. The staff was also really hospitable and great to interact with.

This is my 2nd time staying here and I still highly recommend it. The rooms are warm and comfortable (pillows are ok, I prefer thicker ones). The meals from their restaurant are fantastic and the staff is so welcoming. Can't wait for my 3rd visit.

The guesthouses were these really cute wooden cabins. We felt very close to the nature around us! We loved the food in the restaurant (had both breakfast and dinner). All the products are really fresh as is is a farm and they taste amazing!
