We navigated through the valley, from paved road to dirt road, as Google maps told us that we were getting closer and closer to the Basalt Hotel. Finally we were one minute away. But where was it? There were hardly any buildings, let alone a hotel—just a beautiful landscape. Then we saw something, a small building on a hillside. Could that be it?! It looked too small, but appearances were deceiving: the hotel, with a dozen or so rooms and a dining room, was perched on the side of a mountain, its size concealed by its distance from the road. It turned out to be an elegant oasis that was my favorite lodging of this trip to Iceland. Everything was simply but very elegantly designed, the neutral grays and warm wood tones complementing the rocky, grass-covered hills. The rooms were very clean, with wonderful views. The service was professional and friendly. The outdoor hotpot located thirty seconds from the hotel was a pleasure to relax in, while watching the sun set (eventually) and the moon and stars rise, and taking in the beautiful views over the valley. My only suggestion is to provide better guidance on the walking trails nearby. Overall we loved it here and want to return for a more extended stay.

I’m fortunate to be able to travel to Iceland twice in a short period, and Basalt Hotel is the only place outside of Reykjavik we returned to on the second trip. Location: Nestled in a valley about 30 minutes east of Borgarnes, the drive features stunning landscapes and quaint sheep and horse farms, not to mention the mountains, rivers, and small waterfalls you can see from the road. The last few KM to the hotel are on a well-kept unpaved road. Facilities: Basalt is split into two halves, the guest rooms and the common area with restaurant, connected by an enclosed breezeway. It was all built in the last 5-10 years, with some ongoing projects evident (excited to see how the property evolves). There’s only about a dozen guest rooms, so even at the busiest of times, it is never crowded. The restaurant area features a panoramic view of the valley. They have an outdoor hot spring-fed hot tub with the same view, and they provide sandals and robes as needed. The rooms are modest yet well furnished and comfortable. Restaurant: A small menu with appealing options for all- red meat, fish, and vegetarian options, all lovingly prepared and delicious. Breakfast is tasty, fresh, and buffet style. Staff: Icelandic hospitality at its finest. The hotel is run by one family with some seasonal help. You will want for nothing if it’s in their ability to provide it. They are the real reason we’ve returned, and hope to return again. It feels like home away from home.

You might ask yourself “Why build a hotel here?” Why not is the answer, especially if it’s as good as this one, and it’s a great stopping point between Snaefellness and Thingvellir National Park. Everything was great, my only slight criticism the amount of noise transferred between rooms but perhaps we were just a little unlucky to have such active and vocal neighbours!

Basalt hotel is a family run little hotel. Located quite remotely but on a good gravel road. So reaching usually is no issue. Rooms are quite spacious and equipped with everything needed. They also run a restaurant with great local food. The view from the window is stunning and if you are lucky, it would be a perfect place for northern lights. Breakfast is fine, nothing luxurious, but nicely presented and well made. Can highly recommend.

This is a perfect hotel if you want to spend a night in a place where you can catch the northern lights. The rooms are spacious and very well maintained. The staff is very polite and helpful. The only drawback is the road to/from the hotel is not good and its not a comfortable ride.

Auf unserer Island-Rundreise wählten wir das Basalt als sechstes Hotel aus dem Weg in die Hauptstadt aus. Das Hotel liegt recht abgelegen, eingebettet in einer wundervollen Landschaft leicht auf einer Anhöhe mit tollem Weitblick. Hinweis die Straße zum Hotel ist nicht asphaltiert und das über mehrere Kilometer. Die Straße ist das recht gut befahrbar. Wir haben ein Zimmer mit Ausblick bekommen und waren sehr überrascht sowohl die Größe als auch der Ausblick waren perfekt. Die Sauberkeit war wirklich 1a und auch der Zustand der Möbel etc. wirkte noch sehr neu. Einzig war es etwas hellhörig wenn jemand auf dem Flur war, was aber nicht sonderlich gestört hat.Es gab auch einen Wasserkocher im Zimmer, keinen Kühlschrank. Das Restaurant Bietet auch eine sehr kleine a la Cart Karte an. Wir haben davon den Bürger und das Lamm probiert und es war wirklich sehr schmackhaft und liebevoll angerichtet, zudem ein tolles Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Auch die Preise für Getränke waren sehr human auch was das Thema alkoholische Getränke angeht, im vergleich zu anderen Hotels und Bar. Das Frühstück war klein aber fein, dafür sehr liebevoll angerichtet und stetig nachgelegt. Für Veganer allerdings gab es keine besonderen Dinge. Hier wäre ggf. schon eine Milchalternative hilfreich um auch das Angebot an Cerialien nutzen zu können. Zusammenfassend haben wir uns im Hotel sehr wohl gefühlt in der einen Nacht. Wir haben ausgesprochen gut geschlafen. Es entsteht wohl noch eine Terrasse und ein Pool in den Sommermonaten, ich denke dann steigt der Wohlfühlfaktor nochmals an. Der Ausblick, die Ausstattung, der Service und die Sauberkeit waren tadellos und eine Klare Empfehlung für das Basalt...
