Wonderful property!
David
Room was very hot as was rhe common areas. Was unable to sleep despite rhe window wide open. Temperature was not hot outside.
David
Spectacular property with spacious rooms and an extremely friendly and accommodating staff. We truly enjoyed our stay!
Inger
The location was by far the most unique experience we’ve ever had!! And that is what makes it so special. Truly ‘out in nowhere’ and super relaxing! The hot tub felt great after a full day of exploring! Loved it and definitely recommend using it. Everyone we came in contact with were exceedingly kind, helpful and accommodating. It’s a one of a kind type of hotel experience!! Go & enjoy!!
Angelia
Nice quiet location with panoramic window views in the dining hall.
Julie
This property is a gem! It’s a small country hotel with spectacular valley views! There is a beautiful outdoor soaker tub and the rooms are new and clean. It’s a bit off the ring road but well worth getting away from the city lights for a chance to see the Aurora which we did! Great value for money!
julia
Hotel was beautiful and most of staff was very friendly. The one girl in restaurant seemed to not know her much about wines etc. Asked her what a delicious wine was and she said just some Iceland wine. Asked her in the morning about some delicious wafers and she seemed put off and she didn’t know. The place is down a pretty rough road is come from the national park. If coming from Bogarnes not bad. Highly recommend!
Lois
The hot tub was perfect after a day or exploring the region. View from the room was incredible.
Jennifer
Excellent stay with clean quiet room, great view, dining in hotel. Well stay here again.
Wendy
This small hotel is picturesque and perfect for a quiet stay on a driving itinerary in Iceland. The view from hot tub is spectacular and the rooms new and well appointed
Shannon
Gorgeous relaxing retreat
This is a gem of a hotel! The views were absolutely spectacular. It was so relaxing to check in, unpack and have a lovely dinner right there. The hot tub experience is unparalleled!!! You have to see it to believe it. The complementary breakfast was delicious and the staff friendly. I would definitely return here if in the area!!
Hana
Amazing stay. Perfect place to relax after a day of outdoor activities or riding in the car.
Erin
Helpful staff, beautiful setting,excellent restaurant
Nikolas
One. Of. The. Best. Hotels. In. Iceland. You MUST stay here. A bit of a drive off the ring road, but it is well worth it. The staff are outstanding. The food is delicious. The rooms are spacious. And the outdoor hot pool and view is out of a magazine. I will tell everyone I know who is going to Iceland to stay here.
Verified traveler
Great place to stay
Great place to stay. Stunning location, nicely appointed hotel and really friendly staff.
Anna
Beautiful off the beaten path stay!
We loved our stay! Recommend staying here to experience Iceland off the beaten path. You can have dinner here. Breakfast is included. Enjoy the tub outside! Very stunning views.
Sebastian
Clean and nice. Recommended. Great sleep.
Diana
beautiful hotel, hidden away. If you want to relax and just get away. Breakfast was great as well!
Lisa
Unique great room with beautiful view
Julie
Great hotel. Everything was very modern and well kept. Service and food was also great. We enjoyed our dinner there. Breakfast buffet had enough choices to keep us full.
Anthony
Great little hotel with a real nice warm thermal tub. Great staff and modern design. Best hotel I've stayed in Iceland
Kate
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!
Megan
It was a a very beautiful stay. Restaurant was very romantic and food was great. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to travel to somewhere a little more remote.
Julie
Atmospheric and isolated. Elegant and very comfortable.
Kim
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Dinner and breakfast was delicious and the hot tub was wonderful. The peaceful surroundings was just what we needed.
David
The geothermal hot tub was very nice the room was nice size with smart TV the first one and the only one we had traveling two weeks through Iceland! Out in the middle and nowhere but we really like that!
Jeffrey
Fantastic place to stay- clean, so quiet, and great layout. The outdoor hot spring tub is a must and breakfast was perfect! Highly recommend.
Sahin
It was an amazing experience highly recommended
Nicole
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.
Sean
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.
Maja
Great staff and property.
Richard
Ok, let's just acknowledge right upfront this hotel is a little bit off the beaten path! But the htel is new (opened 2022, I believe), clean, well appointed, comfortable. and quiet And the staff is wonderful.
minchen
breakfast is simple, hot tub is great
Rebecca
The property is situated in a very quiet. Scenic area. We enjoyed the hot tub under the stars. The staff very very friendly and helpful
Krystal
Muy recomendado este hotel ! Nos encantó el lugar, perfecto para mirar Auroras. El hot tub Que tiene afuera fue perfecto para relajarse después de un día lleno de actividades. Me volvería a hospedar en este hotel sin pensarlo !
Michael
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.
Alex
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!
mama
Very beautiful and peaceful location. Room was excellent, the breakfast very good and plentiful. Staff were friendly and helpful. It may be off the beaten path, but it is well worth it!
Cyndi
What an incredible property, lovely rooms and incredible staff.
Halah
Lovely hotel in a beautiful setting. Hotel room was clean, comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. Quality breakfast with breathtaking views!
Catherine
Truly away from it all although a very rough 15 k gravel road to access.
Julia
1. The view is stunning. That in itself made this place on of our favorite places to stay while in Iceland
2. The room is very nice with a TV that you can log onto any streaming service. Free wifi! No microwave or fridge, but there is a electric kettle.
3. Dinner was available onsite in a beautiful eating area. Bit on the expensive side, but good nonetheless. You likely need to make a reservation (we did ours upon checkin).
4. Breakfast included!
Overall, lovely place. Would highly recommend if visiting the west peninsula and then the golden circle. FYI gravel roads to and from the hotel for several kilometers, so be prepared.

Hidden gem
Let me say first, when driving to this hotel, you will feel like you're lost. It's located on a remote, gravel road. However, your GPS has not steered you wrong and it will pop up right where it should.
When you get there, this hotel is amazing. The staff was friendly and the room was so comfortable. There were lovely photos on the wall and the beds and pillows were soft and fluffy. The bathroom had a great shower and heated towel rack. Our favorite feature was the natural hot spring behind the hotel. The staff gave us robes and offered crocs to wear out (we had our own water shoes). The hot springs was in a great stone pool with amazing views of the surrounding landscape.
We loved this hotel and would absolutely return.

Would go again
The hotel was great. Though it was a little drive to the interior of Iceland or so it felt. Maybe 5ish miles. Farms very spaced apart. Had it not been storming we may have seen the northern lights, but weather had different ideas. Would like to see the countryside in better weather. Couldn't notice any winds blowing from inside and it was howling out.
jan
Very nice and exactly as advertised!
Eddy
Secluded location, nice hotel, food is good.
James
We made a last-minute reservation and ended up with two twin beds. The beds were very narrow (even for twins) and neither of us got good quality sleep that night. It's a pity because the hotel is top-notch on all other counts.
Deborah
This is a great place!!
Helen
I liked that it basically was in the middle of nowhere and had lots of countryside around it and it was peaceful.
