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 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!
The property was off the beaten path with a charming room. The host welcomed us with champagne, shrimp and cavier. The bed was very comfortable and the facilities were modern and updated. There is also a hot tub to enjoy and breakfast in the morning with a wonderful view. The breakfast was better than any restaurant we’ve been to here. By FAR one of the nicest ladies we’ve met in Iceland; she was welcoming, informative and gracious. This place does not disappoint.
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.
The room was surprisingly large. We are a family of three and required three single beds. The room was absolutely spacious and thoroughly clean. Great last night in Iceland after 10 days on the road. Conveniently located off route one but very quiet. Several good dining options nearby. Free parking. Hardy breakfast that included eggs which is unusual for an Icelandic hotel breakfast.
This hotel is a gem! Centrally located and easy in and out access to the peninsula as well as other attractions. The rooms are HUGE and the staff was amazing! It has a lovely bar for an afternoon drink. An in house pizza place and a wonderful breakfast. Fresh bakery bed and pastries as well as anything else you could want. I would highly recommend this place!
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.
Rooms are fairly basic but comfortable and clean. The hotel is in a quiet spot on the other side of the bridge from Borgarnes (only 5mn away by car). The staff was responsive and helpful. The price was very good value for Iceland.
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!
Somehow I thought it is going to be cute boutique hotel, but this is just a hostel in an old building.
Couldn’t stay there, so we left. It was my fault I didn’t read description good enough, so I can’t rate them too bad
This cabin was my favorite out of all of the places we stayed on our 10 day trip to Iceland. It was very comfortable and extremely well equipped. I wish we would have stayed here for several nights. Everything is new!
Spacious room and equipped kitchen with small fridge. Near Route 1. Nice bathroom and clean. Good communication with hotel. Arrived late no issues. Parking in front. Good value for money. Scenery area.
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 😊
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.
Modern, clean hotel with helpful staff. Good location in Borgarnes with easy parking. Great buffet breakfast. Spa/hot tub in the basement was very relaxing after our early flight and drive!
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.
The view out behind the guest house was beautiful as was the town. The spirit of the town is one of the things we really liked about Iceland. Very childhood supportive.
Wonderful hotel. Yes , it is a bit remote, but that adds the charm. Beds are extremely comfortable. Staff is very pleasant and helpful. Great experience!
