Hotels on the Lake in Laugarvatn from $92

"Excellent hotel. Quite limited in terms of menu options in the restaurant, and it is eyewateringly expensive even by Icelandic standards but the location is stunning and the rooms are very nice. The Northern Lights “bar” was a great place to watch the view (and Northern Lignts). We travelled in March and whilst the roads around the hotel were fine and largely cleared of ice the 36 was very tricky to drive. Worth checking the travel news and maybe getting a 4x4 if snow is likely. "

"We booked a room specifically advertised as having a private bathroom and a bathtub. Upon arrival, we were informed that the photos on Expedia were “incorrect” and that only one room in the entire property actually had a tub — and it was already occupied. This was not a minor detail. The bathtub was the reason we selected and paid for this room type. We were offered “free breakfast” as compensation, which was confusing since breakfast is already advertised as complimentary in the lobby. Because the room we contracted for was not available, we declined the stay and were clearly told we would be refunded. The entire check-in interaction was recorded. As of this review, no refund has been issued. Travelers should be aware that the room type advertised may not match what is actually available upon arrival. We are now disputing the charge through our credit card company due to services not rendered. We would have preferred a straightforward resolution, but unfortunately that has not happened."
