Guesthouse Básar’s simple rooms have shared bathrooms. Guest can have tea or coffee in the communal kitchen or relax on the terrace. Laundry facilities are also available.

Bird watching, sailing and sea angling are popular area activities. A fishing licence is included during a stay at Básar Guesthouse. A public swimming pool and 3-hole golf course are also found on the island.

Is there a way to make of an already wonderful place as Grimsey an unforgettable paradise? The answer is yes. At Básar Guesthouse. The hotel is at the airport facility. If you come by boat it takes some minutes by walk, but the owner Gagga came to pick us by car. She is a professional and attentive host, always available in case of need. Breakfast is majestic. What you need to spend the day making excursions and hiking around the island. Rooms and beds are super comfortable, warm and welcoming. Even if as an Italian prices in Iceland are quite high for me, I found the price very fair and the service outstanding. Don’t miss your chance to stay at the Básar Guesthouse while on the island. A diamond inside a larger diamond that is Grimsey.

    Guesthouse Basar is charming and cozy, perfect for exploring Grimsey! The room was tidily nestled under the eaves. Breakfast each morning filled me up for the day, and I really appreciated the ample hot beverage supplies available in the kitchen when I returned from hiking around the island. I was the only guest during my stay, it was a very peaceful trip.

    The host gave us a truly exceptional stay at Grimsey! Felt at home right from the start and the breakfast was great as well. Would definitely return! Not just for the beautiful island itself but also for this guesthouse. :)

    Clean, spacious, very well equipped guesthouse. The hosts are amazing. + The decoration (old photos, local bird egg) and books about Grímsey are a great addition for stormy days. :)

    Awesome place to be. Great host, recently renovated, neat and clean. Nice room and good breakfast. Got picked up from the ship by the host and the property is at the airport so no problems in travelling there. Love this place and will be back.

    It is beautiful, comfortable and within walking distance to town and the Arctic Circle's Orbis et Globus. The host made a delicious breakfast and is very kind and helpful! She lets you leave your bags at guesthouse until ferry arrives.
