I thought I was booking at a place that served breakfast. There was not breakfast. Nothing. I had to get in the rented car and drive to a neighbouring town to eat.
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.

The bed was comfortable and the room seemed clean. There was a young lad at reception at 1am who was lovely and managed to resolve a noise issue that we were previously told wasn't fixable.

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!
We can't love this hotel anymore than our initial expectations! The food is absolutely amazing, world-class food! The views of the fjords are breathtaking! The spa tubs and sauna are a really nice extra luxury that comes with your room fee. The location is great for exploring West Iceland. The best part was see saw the Northern Lights, not one night but both nights of our stay. It was pure magic, and we would definitely stay there again!
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.
This was by far the best place we stayed during our trip around Iceland. The room was comfortable with so many luxurious surprises, beautiful art, and a warm energy. Our hosts, Kristen and her husband , were delightful and accommodating. Breakfast was absolutely perfect and lovingly prepared right in the host's kitchen. If you can book this place... you are in for a special treat!
We reached the hotel quite late but easy checkin with friendly staff. Cosy room with a wide bathroom. We loved the hot bath available in the evening and we had the chance to spot our first Aurora 🤩.
The breakfast was great, wide choice of food and very nice setting around the hotel.
As well very well located from the North towards Reykjavík and to visit Reykholt areas.
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.
Very nicely decorated,spacious,clean and well organized kitchen.
Nice views from the veranda,friendly staff.We were two couples and shared the upper floor apartment.The hotel is one kilometer before the town of Borgarnes,overlooking it.Highly recomended.
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.
The Hotel lays on the main street to town, nice view to sea and mountains, the room was nice and very clean but the shower needs maintenance, the breakfast is a little bit too expensive (more than 20EUR)
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.
This lovely hotel was clean, quiet, beautiful situated. The hostess was so kind and warm. Breakfast was such a yummy spread of good options. The option to pre-reserve dinner was very nice.
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.
