This hotel was in a beautiful area! Lots of opportunities for hiking and sight seeing. The room was the biggest room we had in all of Iceland - which was a perfect recharge. They even had 1 or 2 board games in the lobby to play at the end of the day! Only complaint would be the breakfast was very minimal - it was the smallest/worst breakfast option we had on our trip. Otherwise, great hotel!

This is a beautiful property in a beautiful location. The dinner and breakfast were great, the rooms are a nice size and the property has a heated tub where you can look out at the valley. When we booked this hotel I read the reviews and noticed that several mentioned you have to take a dirt road to get here. Prior to the trip I did not think this was a big concern - note that this hotel is 30km off of the ring road coming from the counter clock wise direction. This was a one night stop for us and while the hotel was lovely it was very much out of the way. The only thing there is the hotel. If you want dinner, you will need to eat it at the hotel or bring something. (The dinner is great). I don't think this is a great overnight stop based on how out of the way it is - if you are looking to relax in nature for a few nights it is a lovely stop.

Perfect hospitality and serenity. Off the beaten path, but charming and absolutely worth a visit. The Basalt Hotel is in a convenient location centrally located to see the sights in Iceland.

Nice place
Relatively new facility, very clean and modern. However, no room safe, breakfast was a bit too continental (cereals and skýr with a tiny bit of meat and cheese), and no luggage racks. It's on a gravel road with little around it and 30 minutes from Borgarnes. If the sky is clear in aurora season, it could be great for viewing.

Is a quaint little motel way out in what seems the middle of nowhere. The roads to get there are rough gravel for much of it. But once there, was very nice. Rooms comfortable, staff helpful and friendly. Had a great hot tub out back. Only drawback is they don’t serve breakfast until 8:00 so being so far out, you get a late start to your day. But on the whole, was great!
