We stayed in a small cottage and had our own private, 2 bedroom unit to ourselves, with private bathroom and kitchen facilities. Great value for the price!

Lovely location with easy check-in via a lock box. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The cottage was quite spacious with 4 bedrooms. The horseback riding looked fun but we weren't quite sure how to book so we skipped it.

The guesthouse is a hidden gem along the coast in a very pleasant little town. From here you can walk along the seaside to enjoy the midnightsun when the sky is blue. The adjacent restaurant has a very friendly and welcoming staff and a range of excellent food as well as an enjoyable seafood buffet with several choices of fresh fish. And don't forget to try their lamb !

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.
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.
While this hotel is on the other side of the bridge at Borgarnes it is a lovely location and well worth the stop off. The rooms are quite small but clean and as you are only sleeping after a long day driving size is immaterial. It is very cosy and a real bonus is the hot tub and sauna access for guests. Breakfast is included and is a nice selection on cereals and cold foods with warm drinks available all day,
The breakfast was very good and so was the dinner. Very good. The view from the hotel was so beautiful and the weather was so good. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Everything was done to make the stay good.
