Guest Reviews
- Ron (8/5): - Clean, new cabin near the water. Bedding was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and functional, and the small equipped kitchenette was nice. The breakfast was good but not great.
- Matt (10/5): - I stayed for two nights in a modern cabin close to the beach, which I think they refer to as a "luxury cottage". Friendly staff, clean & comfortable room with kitchenette including a microwave and mini fridge. A simple but filling breakfast each morning at the main building was included in the price. Brilliant! I would stay here again.
- Norman (8/5): - Very nice staff. Room was small, but recently redecorated. Great location with water view from dining room and close to Borgarnes with all of its restaurants. Free coffee and tea in the dining room.
- Vicky (10/5): - Handy hotel, not much around it, but a good stop on our ring road trip.
- Frantz (10/5): - clean
- Dorit (10/5): - First I would like to mention that we stayed in the cottage, so my review is about it. Easy check in. The property is 5 minutes from town on a beach area, so there nothing around. We loved it. The cottage was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable EXCEPT the pillows which were triable- flat and old- NEED NEW Pillows!! Also recommend to have a mat by the front door and kitchen towel. We enjoyed our stay for one night and definitely will recommend this glance. Breakfast was good as well. There a hot tub, dry sauna and small relaxation room. We used it and enjoyed it!
- John (8/5): - We stayed in one of the cabins which was well set up and was comfortable. There is a beautiful mountain view from the front windows, but the ambiance of the cabins could be improved with a bit of landscaping.
- Ehsan (10/5): - We stayed for one night. Our room was renovated and the bed was comfy. The hotel has a sauna and a hot tub whose water is geothermal from the nearby mountain. The beach is in walking distance and the town is a few minutes drive across the bridge. Overall, a nice and relaxing stay!
- zhengwu (4/5): - It is a roof room and more than half space can not stand. The wash room is very small.
- marjon (10/5): - The cottages were lovely. Enjoyed the beach being so close and quiet. The breakfast room looked a little dated when it was empty but during breakfast time it had a very friendly, peaceful vibe.
- marjon (10/5): - I loved the beach being so close and the privacy of the cottages. Staff was friendly- more so than any other place we stayed or ate at
- Carrie (10/5): - Friendly staff. Breakfast was very good with plenty of continental options. Room was comfortable although not great for tall people due to the sloped ceiling. Nice hot tub and good location to see the northern lights.
- Christine (10/5): - The cottages on the lake were very cute modern and clean. An excellent stay!
- Vincent (10/5): - La chambre que nous avions etais tres petite ...parcontre les petits tres confortable. Tres propre. Pas de tele...mais pas grave. L emplacement est superbe, le maitre d hotel super gentil. Le dejeuner style buffet.....Excellant!!!! Tres belle endroit
- Parash (10/5): - About 4 kms outside Borgarnes … so no business near by, that’s a minus if you need to buy anything, but also a plus because it has dining and you cannot get the view from elsewhere
- eric (8/5): - Nice location just outside of town and close to hiking trails
- Shara (10/5): Great location - Hotel was very cute. Exactly as we expected. Our bathroom door was VERY loud but other than that the whole experience was amazing. The staff was wonderful and very very helpful. Location was beautiful right on the water. Would stay again.
- daniele (8/5): - Buona scelta se ci si trova in zona per pernottare
- therese (10/5): - THE VIEW!!!@
- derek (10/5): - Beautiful views
- Angela (10/5): Location, location!! - Basic motel style accommodation with an amazing view. Clean and older property. Limited breakfast options. 1 hour from Reykjavík.
- Alyssa (10/5): - The hottub and sauna were a perfect way to end the evening. Since we were leaving early and missed breakfast, they packed us a to go bag. Was very kind! Made our first night in Iceland a great experience.
- Nigel (8/5): - Old property but nice room and good breakfast.
- Susan (10/5): - Nice breakfast. Friendly staff. Good location.
- William (8/5): - Staffs are great, checkin was smooth, and it also included breakfast. The building is bit old so you can hear other rooms easily. In addition, the second floor has very low ceiling, so you can even bump to it when sit up on the bed. Hot water has a extremely strong sulphur smells. Considering the price, I would give it 3*.
- Angela (8/5): - Loved the sauna and hot tub, was really cool to view the mountains while relaxing away.
- Cathy (4/5): - Too many lights on outside. The room was rundown and gross.
- scott (10/5): -
- Julie (8/5): With a nice view - Roomy space for three beds. There was Netflix on tv so that was a plus! Unfortunately we weren’t able to get cold drinking water from the tap and had to go down to the bar to get it.
- Sharon (2/5): - The hotel Hafnarfjall was just terrible. The condition of both rooms (Rooms 4 & 5) was not clean, the bedding was worn, and the bathroom needed a major cleaning and upgrade. This hotel was the worst hotel on our 17-day trip to Iceland. I woke up with many bite marks on my body staying in Room 4 near the twin bed by the window which I have documented, most likely from this hotel. In the morning, coffee was instant coffee and not made fresh.
- Todd (4/5): - Great location, but seems that our cabin was disappointing. Cabin needs upkeep.
- JENNY (8/5): - Staff are friendly and accommodating. No boiling water for drinking in the room
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Vlean lines, nice and open space, private.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great room, clean, spacious, and ample parking right in front of the door.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - good location on the ring road but not much around to do.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good service.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A great experience in a private cabin, access to hot tub, with wonderful views, close to amenities, restaurants, etc. It was pretty windy when we stayed at Hafnarfjall so we stayed in but heard others rave about the shoreline walk, too.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We loved staying in the cottage! The views cannot be beat. We were not a fan of the two twins beds.
- Samantha (8/5): Great Place, Great Breakfast! - Our room had just been updated, it was small but very nice. The staff was excellent, and the breakfast that was included was wonderful.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice view off the mountain out the front window. Close to town with the Settlement Center there, and a couple of real nice restaurants. Hot tub, nice touch. Excellent, diverse options for breakfast, and most accomodating staff.
- Jian (4/5): - Unless the room in main building, otherwise , I stay in a cabin , not good, have to drive through unpave road for 3mins, there is no curtain in the room, others can see us sleeping, wifi is not as good as main building, but when I booked this place, I wasn’t told I would not stay main building.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It’s in a fantastic location, right on the beach. Very private, attentive staff, great breakfast, cozy cottage. It couldn’t be better!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We found this hotel to be exactly what we needed for a day spent touring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. The beds were comfortable, the breakfast set us up for the day, and there was a hot tub.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - You have the best of both worlds at this hotel. One side you have a view of the ocean and can walk to the beach. On the other side you have majestic mountain views. It was quiet and very cozy. A continental breakfast was included and provided a nice start to each day. The staff was always friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel.
- Rachel (10/5): Great location - Room was great as long as you don’t mind bumping your head. The room we had had a severely sloped roof. My friend had to pull the bed over to make sure she wouldn’t bonk her head in the middle of the night. But you did get great views of the mountain that way. My friend did also get a bed that rocked a bit. It was weird. But the location is great and the atmosphere of the building was super nice.
- John (10/5): - The only thing that would’ve made it better would be American phone charger adapters
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We stayed in the cottages. Fantastic views, facilities and staff. Great place to stay.
- Mark (10/5): - Super friendly staff! This was a great place to see the northern lights, close to town but far enough to not have to worry about light pollution, able to see them directly over the water! Highly recommend!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff was excellent and they gave us a free room upgrade. Would definitely stay again.
- Boogs (8/5): - The staff are really helpful and friendly. Peaceful and quiet, just about 45 mins away from the city.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - The photos on the site were extremely misleading, as the rooms there look exceptional and clean, whereas the room we were given (private bathroom) was more like a Motel 6 room, with carpeted floors. Nothing like what we expected based on the advertisement.
- Ryan (10/5): Amazing private cottages with stunning views - This place is great, go for one of the pod style cottages. They are down by the water with views of the mountains.. the owner is cool. I would go back for sure
- c (6/5): OK hotel - Not an exciting hotel but OK. No dinner to be had but I knew that in advance so no problem.
- MP (8/5): - Good quality for the price. The breakfast was really good and lots of restaurants nearby.
- Grace (10/5): - We stayed at one of the cabins by the lake. They are super small, but they have everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. The bathroom sink is very small, and not practical. But, overall, this was one of our favorite places to stay in Iceland.
- PETER (6/5): Booked Shared Bathroom. by Mistake....Check your B - I made the mistake of booking a shared bathroom. check carefully if you prefer an ensuite. the room was small roof at a sharp angle and could only stand in 1/2 the room. It was clean. Owner friendly. Hotel is over the bridge out of town
- Marilyn (8/5): - Found the room too warm and limited ability to open windows.
- Lizzie (6/5): - The location of this property is picturesque with lovely water views. The beds are very comfortable and the room and bathroom were very clean. The property is dated and could use some sprucing up. The hot water is from hot springs and smells quite strongly of sulfur. Those with respiratory disorders should avoid!
- Sue (10/5): A PARADISE!!!! - The most AMAZING place we have ever stayed!!!!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Ok...worst room we stayed in during the 8 day trip - Adequate. Breakfast was great but room was old and in need of a facelift. According to online pictures there were updated rooms but I wasn't in one. Common area was nice and the owner let us stay up and play cards after typical closing. Our room smelled a bit (stale) and water has a "distinct" sulfur small. There was an outdoor tub but it was small and crowded when we were there. There is not much in the near area, but towns close by.
- Designer55 (8/5): - Very comfortable,only draw back down the hall for bathrooms and showers.nice breakfast👍
- Robert (8/5): - This property is located on the other side of the water from Borgarnes, important to know since, for some unknown reason, it does not show up on a GPS system for the area. Approaching from the south on Rte 1, there is very clear signage directing guests to a turn off on the left side, immediately before crossing the bridge into the town. The building looks to be an older facility that has probably seen a better day – – sort of the Motel 6 of Borgarnes. The rooms appear to be a bit dated and tired looking, but clean enough and comfortable enough to choose the place for an overnight. Check in and check out went very quickly and efficiently. A restaurant is on site but only serves breakfast in the dining room. The room was on the small but adequate side, with no equipment by way of TV, mini fridge, or microwave. The hot water had a slight smell of sulfur to it, which was a bit of a surprise (an unpleasant one for my wife). The area was very quiet, with great views over the water from the rear. Breakfast was more than adequate, iffering cereals, and a variety of meats and cheeses, as well as the usual beverages.. Would we stay here again if we were in the area? Yes.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice modern cabin - Luxury cabin are not luxury but modern and clean. Friendly staff and an excellent location, only few minutes away from Borgarnes.
- Jong-Jin (10/5): Brautiful sea and mountains! - Location, location, location! By the water, the sunset through my bedroom window was amazing. Staff were kind. Breakfast was yammy! The room was tight but no complain. I would book this hotel whenever I come near Borganes.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Comfy and convenient - Cabins idyllic by the sea. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great take off location for Snæfellsbær
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We stayed in a luxury cottage. The room was small, but more than spacious enough for our needs, and was clean and modern. Staff made us feel very welcome and were very kind to our five year old daughter. Highly recommended.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great location-needs some updating - Great location, the facility is a little old and needs some upgrading. Would stay again for another night. The hot water is sourced br geothermal and has a sulfur smell.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent Luxury Cottage - Brand new and clean Luxury Cottage. Excellent for a 1 night stay, it had all we needed also to cook dinner and breakfast.
- Leila (10/5): - Great cottage, kitchen, cozy, beautiful coastal and mountainside location.
- Nancy (8/5): - Good breakfast. Good location for heading into the peninsula.
- Allie (10/5): - Nice hotel on the beach. Staff was great. Loved our luxury cabin.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice, clean place. Located across bridge from Borgarnes.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel with good views - This is an older property. While there was coffee and sugar in the room, there was no creamer. No TV in the room. There was a TV in the common hall. The view of Hafnarfjall was great. Proximity to Borgarnes is also helpful.
- Raj (10/5): - Nice quaint hotel besides the highway and On the waterfront.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great quiet location with view of the mountains and the sea
- Verified traveler (8/5): Solid hotel - Good hotel nothing fancy but clean and straightforward
- Laura (10/5): Cabin Feel!! - The hotel was very nice and quaint. The food we had for dinner was great! Free Breakfast was nice and much appreciated as dining options are limited in most areas on the island.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Loved the cottage with the kitchen.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Beautiful view from hotel. The room is old and small.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Beautiful View - This hotel was a little dated but the friendliness of the owners and their great hospitality were worth the stay.
- Eileen (8/5): Beautiful location - Lovely peaceful hotel. Rooms very clean and comfortable although rather small. We stayed for 6 nights which we realised was unusual for this hotel as there were no facilities for hanging or storing clothes. Perfect for a 1 or 2 night stay when you don't mind living from the suitcase. No tea or coffee making facilities in room but is readily available in hotel reception. We were upgraded to one of the cabins for our last 3 nights which was like a mini apartment. It had a hob, microvave, fridge, kettle, crockery and utensils however still no storage space. There is a small hot tub on site but it could have done with having a path or decking leading to it to save walking in the mud. Nice cold buffet breakfast. Gilvey and his staff were extremely helpful giving advice on weather and road conditions. There is no wake up call for the northern lights though which was disappointing as we missed them one morning outside the hotel however we were lucky enough to catch them 2 nights during our trip whilst out and about in the evenings despite the full moon.
- Lily (10/5): Great location and nice view - We loved our stay in this hotel, our room had the mountain view that was amazing and breakfast was awesome, we saved a lot of money since breakfast in Iceland can easily add up. Great and friendly staff. Very comfy bed.
- LeeCH (8/5): Good price and location - Located just a stone throw's away from Bogarnes, the large town nearby. Just secluded enough to be clear of light pollution. And surrounded by the sea and mountain ranges. Room was cosy though a little small. Bathroom was clean and maintained well. Breakfast spread was the usual on par with many establishments. Ample parking around.
- Clara (6/5): Good location - Only one hour drive from Reykjavík and much cheaper than any hotel or guesthouse in Reykjavik and around. Overall ok but we could hear people from other room. Good breakfast.
- Nate (10/5): - The hotel staff here were extremely friendly, the breakfast really great, and the location next to the sea very nice!
- Verified traveler (10/5): In the middle of nowhere, perfect for Auroras hunt - Basic room but nice in general.
