The hotel is in a beautiful setting and the room was adequate for our one night stay. It had everything we needed. There was a hot tub and sauna available to guests and a large lounge and dining area with microwave, kettle and everything you need to make food.
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 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.

Great remote location. Also a perfect base to explore western iceland and/or Reykholt area.

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...
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!
After a very long flight and drive straight from Keflavik airport, arriving at Basalt Hotel was exactly what we needed. We were greeted warmly, the shower was hot, our dinner of roast lamb fillet was excellent and the bed we collapsed into was very comfy. The hotels location is very pretty and while it feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere it’s not hard to find. We put the GPS coordinates into the hire cars nav system and drove straight there. Breakfast next morning was a self serve buffet and also very good.
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.
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.
We booked this location on the road because our travel plans changed. The bungalo was awesome. We didn't expect such an adorable stay. The bed was comfortable and our place was away from the main hotel which we loved. The view was fantastic of the moutains and the bay. The kitchenette was put to use for a home cook meal.
The breakfast was continental, as described, fresh and on time. Our dinner was quite good as well. Hosts were very friendly and took time to advise us on our itinerary and directions. The siting of the hotel is simply amazing! Owners have plans for more expansion and amenities. Would love to return.
our hosts were friendly and warm, welcoming us to their home. Our accommodations were impeccable, they even prepared the hot tub for us when we arrived back late from a day trip. Breakfast delicious…authentically Icelandic, down to the home-caught smoked trout and homemade blueberry jam!
Cozy room. The room was quite warm through the night. There is a kettle and coffee/tea. Beds are comfortable enough. There is a restaurant downstairs and a small parking lot outside. Close to a few restaurants and a small cafe. Borgarnes is a very pretty and cute little town.
The location was perfect. The room and bathroom comfortable and clean. Breakfast was alright, could have been better. Parking outside the hotel was alright, and two very nice restaurants with a walking distance. We didn't try the restaurant at the hotel.
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.
Mila was a delightful and friendly host. The view was ridiculously good and the place was spotless! Very much appreciated the morning coffee and bread to start the day. I would definitely choose this over a hotel on any return trip!
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.
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.
