Very friendly staff. Optional (not included) breakfast on site. Great view from the hotel. Quaint hotel. Upper floor has slanted ceilings - my tall husband banged his head a time or two, but I was fine. Small, cozy rooms. Fine for a night. Not sure I’d want to stay here long-term.
This hotel offers relaxing outdoor hot tubs, an 18-hole golf course and activities such as whale watching and snowmobile safaris. Reykjavik and Snæfellsnes National Park are a 1-hour drive away.
This property is 4.3 mi from central Borgarnes and 30 minutes’ drive from Akranes. It provides accommodations with kitchen facilities and free WiFi in public areas.

Perfect house and rooms. Amazing glass room with cute candles.
I love the kitchen most! It provides all I need, such as a bottle of oil, spices, and special hand-made sauce. It's really nice with spaghetti.

Very remote location. The cabin was cozy and had beautiful views from all the windows in the living/kitchen area. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and dishes. Overall we had a wonderful experience!

The house was super cute and cozy. The bedrooms allowed our family of 4 to comfortably spread out for a few days. Easy 10 minute drive to and from Borgarnes for groceries/ restaurants.

The local pool was lovely - we went in the evening, so it was dark (I really like this).
There was a local cafe/bar that served some great value meals - the lamb chops were sublime.
There is a lovely friendly vibe in Borganes, and I would highly recommend putting it on your trip.

It is a bit run down but it is quiet and the beds are comfortable. Like most of Iceland in our experience, the pillows could be better. Hot pot, coffee, tea, cream and sugar are provided, which was nice. There is free parking, however I can imagine at times it may be hard to find a spot as the lot supports the restaurant as well. We had dinner at the restaurant, food was good and the portion was large.
In a nutshell, this is a decent budget accommodation, with a restaurant on site which makes it convenient. If you plan to eat at the restaurant, make a reservation before 5pm. They were able to squeezed us in without one but there were many who were not as lucky.

Borgarnes is underrated as it doesn't have any bucket-list...
Borgarnes is underrated as it doesn't have any bucket-list sights. It's a mid-size small town by Iceland standards, but it's got a lot to recommend it - it's a very typical Icelandic place, and one with a variety of landscapes and bay views.
The Settlement Museum is overpriced (as most Icelandic museums are), but even without a visit there, Borgarnes is a good place for walking. It also has some decent to excellent eateries (the Bara bar and restaurant in the heart of the town is outstanding, and even the N1 station cooks up some of Iceland's best meat soup.)

Beautiful views. Lots to do and see.
Beautiful views. Lots to do and see. An area with a lot of history. A good for both people who like to do independent activities and people who prefer guided tours. It is the place of viking settlements and the sagas. There is a Settlement museum to learn about it. Waterfalls and a la a tube cave you can take a tour of.

We had a few hours here on the way to the Basalt Hotel. Car parking was free. There was a pathed route to walk around the coast. We had coffee and lunch at a wonderful place called Blómasetríð - Kaffi Kyrrð. We sat outside in a beautiful courtyard/garden. The food was excellent and the staff were polite and kind.

Drove by car from Keflavik at 10 AM - visited Akranes lighthouse and nice museum - had great vegetarian buffet lunch in Borgarness - at a vikkingmuseum.
Drove to our hotel and then to the KRAUMA spa and we had dinner there.
Next day we drove to the waterfalls Barnafoss, then to visit the lavagrotto and took over the highland on the road 550 back towards Reykjavik. Great tour!
The hostess, Kristen and her husband, were very gracious and accommodating. I loved all the fine tuned details…real candles, hot rocks in the shower, sanitary napkins for the ladies, wine glasses, chocolate, fresh picked tea leaves!!!lots of towels!, bathing suits, flip flops, light weights, etc…breakfast was gorgeous. Welcome drink and appetizer in the main house, exquisite! This is a home and you can feel it. This was our last night in Iceland and we were beyond pleased ❤️
Beautiful Hotel / Hostel! The staff is so awesome and friendly and welcoming; I cannot express that enough! Especially as a solo traveler a lot of times you're not sure what to expect next. Breakfast was soooo good; I loved it! It wasn't really what I was expecting, definitely more of a luxury hotel type experience, but hey - it was awesome! AND it's one of THE cheapest hostels in Iceland. (I know bc I checked the entire island lol.)
Fjola and Jon were outstanding hosts. Our apartment on their farm was a haven for our stay near Borgarnes. Views of the surrounding fields were great, and such a nice change from city hotels. The apartment had everything we needed, including a filter coffee maker. The weather turned overnight, and roads were closed the next morning. Fjola kindly informed us of this and offered that we could stay longer, which was very generous.
the property was absolutely perfect. from the aesthetics of the hotel to the staff and the owner. it was just so beautiful and so happy we were able to stay there for one night. the dinner and breakfast was excellent as well. Lucas was great front of the house staff and was lovely to talk to. the owner and chef were so friendly and inviting for great conversation. the hot tub was the perfect t end to your long day.
The room was surprisingly large. We are a family of three and required three single beds. The room was absolutely spacious and thoroughly clean. Great last night in Iceland after 10 days on the road. Conveniently located off route one but very quiet. Several good dining options nearby. Free parking. Hardy breakfast that included eggs which is unusual for an Icelandic hotel breakfast.
beautiful hotel.beautiful decoration. great location with amazing view of the mountains. the grounds were clean and well landscaped. spa and sauna were available. close to bogarnes but far enough it was quiet. breakfast buffet was delicious with a great view in the dining room. even though there was a bus tour there, the hotel room was very quiet. we rested well
Very good value - we had a 22h layover in Iceland, and we were able to rent a car and whole trailer cottage for cheaper than staying at a hotel closer to airport. It was an easy drive with nice views. Great place to sleep before next days flight - we also drove a little more to look at views in the evening. Cozy and functional, with a view to mountain tops.
Clean, new hotel with very good amenities in the spacious and comfortable room.
Check-in / check-out took just a few seconds.
Breakfast was good, although there could have been a wider selection (more types of cheese and bread, several warm options like bacon, etc.) for a hotel of this size and price range.
Solid hotel for a suitable stay in Borgarnes area. We got well assisted by Natacha and when I imagined that I finally found a true sympathetic Icelander, she turned out to be Slovenian (another beautiful country). The breakfast was also very good.
We spent 7 days at 6 different hotels in Iceland. This was one of the best! We absolutely loved it! Best part was seeing the northern lights just outside the hotel. Lovely little town with the nicest people! Would go back!
Somehow I thought it is going to be cute boutique hotel, but this is just a hostel in an old building.
Couldn’t stay there, so we left. It was my fault I didn’t read description good enough, so I can’t rate them too bad
Everything!
The movie themed room was awesome. It was like a little home versus a small hotel room. Maja (owner) was very sweet and accommodating. We booked last minute after leave a different hotel down the street.
Very easy and flexible check-in and check-out. The cabin was clean and well equipped. The biggest advantage of this place is an opportunity to walk outside the farm and pet sheep or Icelandic horses.
On site hot tub perfect for watching the sunset and warm comfortable rooms. We got very lucky our night and saw the northern lights from just outside the main building of the hotel. It was amazing!
Very helpfull staff. The hostelroom is located in a fancy hotel. Very beautiful interior. For that price... Best price-quality I booked in all Iceland. Good beds, nice food at the restaurant.
Really friendly host in a beautiful location. Borgarnes is a great base to get out and discover this part of Iceland. The accommodation is a real home from home place to stay.
Location is secluded enough for us to catch the northern light in August. New hotel and it is clean with good and friendly service. The best place we have stayed in Iceland.
The view out behind the guest house was beautiful as was the town. The spirit of the town is one of the things we really liked about Iceland. Very childhood supportive.
