Hotel Varmaland

Enjoyable stay

Reviewed By winnielaa

Beautifully renovated hotel. It’s a drive (15-20 min) from Borgarnes but I liked that it’s quiet and a very nice hotel. Room was small but quite functional and clean. Only minor complaint is the design of the shower, you have to actively try not to get water out. There is a restaurant on the top floor but we had dinner before coming. Simple breakfast buffet is provided with all the basics. Also the server will make you eggs and bacon, nice to have some warm food. Overall, I would recommend this hotel if you’re in the area for the night. Good to have breakfast included.

Best vegetarian dinner and outdoor hangout area and great hospitality

Reviewed By W9735JPtaras

This guesthouse was not on our original itinerary for driving around the country and last minute find but I appreciate this place quite a lot. The staff are so sweet and hospitable. Had a friendly greeting upon arrival. As a vegetarian I asked if they can make anything for dinner and it was so so good. I was really impressed. Cute living room area with cards and an outdoor deck with beautiful view. We woke up too late for breakfast but they brought it back out so we could have something. That's super sweet and appreciated. Clean room and thank you for that. Would definitely recommend this stay. Would have paid more than I did to stay there. Thank you for your kindness.

El grupo con el que fuimos ocupamos la casa principal y una cabaña independiente. Espectaculares ambas, con cocinas completas, 2 dormitorios (en la cabaña), amplia sala de estar, un baño con lavadora para lavar la ropa. En perfecto estado de conservación y de limpieza. El mejor alojamiento que tuvimos en todo el viaje.

Laekjarkot Rooms and Cottages with Kitchen

Very Good but don't count on WiFi

Reviewed By vrkung

The cabin like Cottage is of good size with a double room and a twin room. The Rooms are small but the Lounge area is pretty comfortable and bright. Very clean. The kitchen is very well equipped. We arrived after 7pm. The Reception was unattended but with our Cottage information displayed. We checked in ourselves without much problem. The whole Cottage was already warm with heaters on. However, the beds are quite worn, particularly the double bed. The WiFi did not work well for most of the time. It is located five minutes from the Town Centre where grocery stores open until 1900 or 2000. I found this quite convenient.

Lava Water Accommodation

The Lava Water Accommodation The Lava Water accommodation is located on two places: At the farm Miðhraun 2 and at Lynghagi, both located in west Iceland, on the southern part of the Snæfellsnes peninsula. The farm Miðhraun is located right on the edge of a 3-4000 years old basalt lava landscape from the volcano Rauðakúla, which stands above the farm along a vast line of other scenic mountains making the farm a beautiful sight. The farm is an organic sheep farm, which also has horses and Icelandic chickens, contributing to the farm’s colorful atmosphere. Here you can relax and surround yourself with the sight and sound of the beautiful Icelandic countryside or take a trip around the Snæfellsnes peninsula with all its magical sights and experiences, such as the Snæfellsnes glacier, the Vatnshellir lava cave, the Lóndrangar basalt cliffs and the list goes on.

Great space for a family of 4!

Reviewed By Danielle B

We only stayed one night and wished we could have stayed longer! We were in one of the houses - it looked brand new, was super clean and cute, and had a lounge, kitchen, two bedrooms (one with double and one with 2 twins) and a bath with shower and washing machine. Pretty, pastoral location (easy drive to the sites on the peninsula) - privacy - comfy beds - good water pressure in shower. Wished we had picked up groceries for breakfast as the kitchen was fully stocked with all equipment you’d need.

Big Suite Room and Comfortable Stay in a Quaint Town

Reviewed By HBPLPP

We stayed for one night in a suite, Saturday-Sunday. Staff were hospitable and easygoing in their conversation. The room was spacious, on the top floor overlooking the water. The balcony was a nice perk to have in the room, as it was very comfortable at the end of May to enjoy the views from it, or to dry clothes. We had a nice dinner at the hotel. It was a fun atmosphere that evening we ate because of the football championship being on. Even with a few large tour groups staying at the hotel, we barely realized they were there. The gym and spa were well worth having available too. We got a full fitness and health experience using both. The only things we needed to address were the temperature in the room (rather hot when we got in), and the fridge not being cool. Both issues were resolved as quickly as could be. Outside of the hotel, it was convenient to have a Netto across the street, the info center within a block away, and several sites to visit all withing no more than a mile's distance. If you are into birdwatching, you will have plenty to see in Borgarnes as well. If we come back to Borgarnes, we will definitely consider the B59 Hotel.

Rated 4 for terrific views and fact that it has a golf course - hotel itself 3.0

Reviewed By JoeNathan9249

Came here as part of 10 day tour of Iceland. We learned earlier in the day that the hotel had a golf course so 2 of us decided to play after dinner (this being late May, it being light until very late). We rented clubs which were old and women's clubs. If you're going to play here, bring your own clubs! Views from golf course and hotel are spectacular in clear weather (please see below) Golf course is not particularly interesting - it's pretty short with typical holes. Fairway is quite "bumpy" perhaps because of lava underneath? We were glad to have the chance to play 9 holes - by 9:30 when we finished it was kinda cold. The hotel itself is average for this kind of place. Rooms on the mountain side have pretty views (please ask for one) Rooms on the other side look at the parking lot. Breakfast was ok. Same with dinner.

Really nice hotel

Reviewed By David L

Hotel Rjukandi is a tiny spot, but our travel company put us up here. I’m glad they did. Very nice, clean, comfortable, up to date rooms. The restaurant is special. Creative menu and really good food. A good value spot too. They have a cool little coffee shop up front with interesting baked pastries and cakes. The people who run this place were so nice. When we arrived they gave us a map of the area with hand written notes and directions to interesting sites in the area.

We had a view of the waterfall from our room and played with their record collection!

Reviewed By Alison B

We loved staying here. The view from our room was sensational and we got to see the Northern Lights. The rooms are simple but clean and cosy. The best part was having dinner and being able to play records from the 3000+ record collection. What a treat! The food was yummy too and reasonably priced. The staff were all friendly. I would highly recommend staying here. It's a great base to explore the natural wonders nearby.

Nice stay in Rock Apartment

We were 5 adults and got the Rock Apartment who was a separate building 10 meters from Egil’s Guesthouse. The apartment had everything we needed for our stay, including a washing machine. The apartment is located central in Borgarnes and easy parking.
