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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
