Gamla Frystihusid, 720 Borgarfjörður Eystri, Iceland –

Lock in a great price for Blabjorg Guesthouse – rated 9.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

Traveling to the guesthouse was a little disconcerting, due to work being completed on the roads, but the guesthouse was worth the effort! We were upgraded to the large apartment, which was divine! We saw puffins at the bird colony and we saw the Northern Lights. Great place to stay! Quaint town.

Donna, United States of America

The breakfast was amazing, as was the location! The jacuzzi was a great amenity but it had limited hours.

Macfarland, United States of America

Spa is fantastic, owner is brilliant, village is really nice. Wonderfull hotel, best I have been in in Iceland! Breakfast is wonderfull and the view on the harbor fantastic.

Eva, Netherlands

Location amazing. Dorm kitchen overlooked fjord and well equipped. Included breakfast very good.

Barrett, Romania

Great breakfast and dinner was exceptional. Staff was very accessible and helpful with info on local hiking trails.

Karl, United States of America

Everything about our stay at Blabjorg was excellent. They upgraded our room to a sea view! Their breakfast was delicious with homemade breads, jams, and skyr (and they included the recipes to make them yourself). The restaurant was good, with local beers and the spa was the perfect end to our long day of hiking to storuđ.

Kelly, France

Great outdoor tub, Jacuzzi and Sauna. Good breakfast and nice room. Fully kitchenette.

Srisumarn, Thailand

This place was a dream come true! Loved the family apartment, and the peaceful beauty of the setting. We also loved the hot tubs and sauna. And the restaurant. Thanks for everything!

Janet, Canada

This is the best place we stayed during our eight days trip in Iceland.

Wenyue, United States of America

This is one of my favorite places in the world. The studio facing the ocean is one of the most comfortable and best rooms I’ve stayed at in 87 countries. They even a wellness spa for soaking in hot and cold waters and a sauna in a barrel. The staff was wonderful and you MUST take the time to come here if in Iceland. The drive here at dusk was incredible and they have a puffin colony. I actually had tears in my eyes it was so beautiful and I saw the northern lights here!

An Inside Look at Blabjorg Guesthouse

The location of the building was the first thing we noticed when we first came to Borgarfjordur in the year 2005. So close to the sea and so close to the birds. And an ideal location for hot tubs and sauna. So we went ahead, bought this old fishfactory and started our project. 6 years later we opened the guesthouse but we are still working on the building. Always doing something more and adding some nice features.

The only downside was that you have to drive a gravel road over the mountains to get here. It’s a bit full on in normal conditions but we had to drive over in a 2WD in the snow! Thankfully the conditions had improved by the time we left! Plan ahead and get a 4WD hire car and the journey will be fine!
Clean rooms and shared kitchen with friendly staff. Great location on the bay and a short drive to see the puffins! Enjoyed the hot tub too! Would recommend! My partner loved it so much here that he didn’t want to leave!

The jacuzzi was not working properly and it seemed like nobody was really interested in fixing it.
Great place! Beautifully decorated. Everything’s new and clean. Delicious breakfast in the morning. There were also two saunas and 3 different hot tubs for the use for the guests which was amazing as you could enjoy the views of the fjords while being in the tub.

We went as two couples, and the studio apt doesn’t give too much privacy as such, but for a night it was not that disturbing yet.
Hidden gem, absolutely in love! the studio apartment was wonderful, the inside/outside spa facilities are amazing, and you can enjoy the northern lights from your terrace or even from the jacuzzi. The host lady was also incredibly nice, and the breakfast is amazing too. We just wished we could stay a few days longer!
