The first is its stunning position.... from the kitchen we enjoyed a fantastic sunset over the icy bay. memorable. Then the apartment: clean, beautiful and comfortable, the furnishings are really particular and gives a cozy atmosphere. Car parking is just outside the door.

We really enjoyed our stay, but I wouldn't stay here for more than a few days here for the reasons below.

Wonderfully secluded cottage in the middle of the countryside. Well situated for trips to Snaefellsnes. Very friendly and nice hosts living on with their farm next door. Possibility to book a guided horse ride with one of their icelandic horses, which was a magical experience!
The cottage was well equipped, clean and absolutely cozy. We really enjoyed our stay here and can fully recommend!

Room is clean. Full of essentials that we required. Quite neighborhood.
Busy little town, with various amenities. Has several museums in the area. A coastal path runs round the west side of the town giving good views of the area. There a number of food outlets along with a Netto supermarket. For refuelling purposes, there a three separate garages for fuel, next to route 1.

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 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.
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.
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.)
I cannot recommend this place enough. We stayed at a number of hotels as we ventured around Iceland, and this was a true highlight. The location and the views are incredible, the bedroom and bathroom (huge shower!) are amazingly comfortable, but the highlight was the incredible hospitality. We will definitely be back to visit Iceland, and will be staying here again next time we’re back.
Borgarnes is a nice place to stay, right next to the sea. The hotel itself is next to a great bakery with the best view a bakery can probably have. The gym is cool !
The staff wasn't very welcoming at first, but on the last day two new Polish or Ukrainian speaking persons were smiling, which is I admit one of the small things you expect to get as a guest. Thanks !
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.
Absolutely brilliant hotel and golf course. Beautiful receptionists welcoming me here. Pick up on request from Borganes was a plus. (No taxi). Room with a view over the golf course and mountains. Balcony to enjoy the views. Didn't use the sauna or hot pool. Meals in restaurant were delicious, particularly the beer battered fish and chips.
This was our second time booking the same large room upstairs with a balcony. So nice and with everything you needed.
The balcony allows you to try to catch the Northern lights from all sides of the hotel. Every thing was perfect. Not far accross the water is Borgarnes where you can have many choices for restaurant.
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!
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.
Large room and bathroom. Large TV in the room. Very delicious dinner 🤩 good breakfast with Nutella, Skyr and Eggs. Good location for a roadtrip. Hot pot at the hotel. Very quiet place and rooms 😊
Everything was great. Friendly helpful staff. Good food. Liked the breakfast. Had dinner one night and it was excellent. The hotel was generally quiet, even with small children in other rooms.
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.
