There's not much in Borgarnes to choose from, the room was very basic, it was literally just a bed for the night. The on-site hot tub was really, really hot! Small but luckily there didn't seem to be any other guests around at the time we were there. The room had a very sloped ceiling which wasn't a problem for me (I'm short or so I'm told!) but we both managed to bump our heads at least once or twice! We saw the Aurora in this location!
This hotel offers relaxing outdoor hot tubs, an 18-hole golf course and activities such as whale watching and snowmobile safaris. Reykjavik and Snæfellsnes National Park are a 1-hour drive away.
This property is 7 km from central Borgarnes and 30 minutes’ drive from Akranes. It provides accommodation with kitchen facilities and free WiFi in public areas.

We really enjoyed our stay, but I wouldn't stay here for more than a few days here for the reasons below.

Great location, 15 minutes away from Borganes .
The house is perfect, it has everything you need for the perfect stay. The kitchen allows you to cook with ease, with the addition of the outside covered barbecue for cooking steaks/ lamb etc without setting off any fire alarms. All the essentials salt, pepper, spices, coffee, kitchen roll , sugar, etc etc were provided, with toilet roll, conditioner, shampoo, hand wash , body wash, etc which was a lovely surprise!
The bedrooms are very comfortable and the whole house is decorated to a high standard.
The hot tub is a jet spa which we used daily after a long day out. It’s perfect.
Having a cabin with bedroom and separate shower /wc means it’s also perfect for larger groups, as we were a party of 2 we had plenty of room.
The house has great facilities for washing/ drying and has a large TV if you feel compelled on stormy nights to watch a bit of television.
The icing on the cake is the location for northern lights, having a great 360 view without interruption means you’ve got the best chances. Out of 12 nights we luckily managed to see 10 nights/ mornings despite some very challenging weather in November. We didn’t need to drive out, we just happily sat wrapped up under the covered deck and waited for Aurora to appear. There is a main deck which has a sheltered covered area which is perfect, then a lower deck for the cabin, a base deck in the garden and to the side a grass garden area. Very nice garden furniture and a picnic table for warmer days!
The road to the house is a little pitted in winter but nothing crazy just drive carefully. We tend to have 4X4 or AWD car in November as the roads to tend to wear in winter.
The location is perfect for driving up the west coast and north. The host was lovely and very accommodating. I would not hesitate to stay at Lundur again and the other properties on the portfolio.
Featuring a spa bath, Klettur is located in Borgarnes. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The holiday home has a picnic area and a hot tub.

The location was quite remote, with pleasant views and it was quiet. The property was well-equipped and had a hot tub with a lovely view. The living area was nice, and the beds were comfortable.
A good place to stay- friendly, clean, quiet, etc.
A good place to stay- friendly, clean, quiet, etc. The jacuzzi and sauna were a nice touch and enjoyed after a day of trekking and driving. Borgarnes is nearby for food and such. The Conti breakfast was great - lots of healthy and tasty choices, and the coffee was good. All in all, thumbs up!

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 !

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.)

See reviews by guests who stayed at hotels in Borgarnes
We had booked at the waterfront property, hoping for the promised views, but were moved to the 'Old City Hall', which was still in the process of renovation into hotel rooms and on the main road into and out of town. The room itself was very large and had a private bathroom. There was a large kitchen, dining and lounge area which were shared with other guests and, it seemed - hotel staff. The location was very good for our self-drive tour around Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
A very nice, clean and spacious room, with a beautiful view - overlooking a lake/sea. All rooms could use a private Jacuzzi and a small sauna room that was at the back yard of the hotel! The hotel is just outside Borgarnes with lot of space for parking. The breakfast was exceptional and the staff very friendly - I regret not having time to enjoy more the room!
Food was brilliant both in the restaurant and at breakfast. The facilities were really good. There were a golf holes around the hotel so if you play may suit you well. Never used it myself
