A nice family run hotel. Clean and comfortable room. Dinner was great as was breakfast the following morning. Would be a great spot to see puffins. They were gone when we arrived at the beginning of September. Definitely would recommend if you are in the area.

The hotel is clean, and the room is spacious. The bed and pillows are comfortable. The breakfast was great, similar to other hotels'. I saw an amazing sunset here. There is a restaurant within the hotel, making it convenient for dinner or lunch.

We stayed there just one night with a tour and wish we had stayed there two nights. This was one of the best stops on our tour around the ring road of Iceland. This gave us the best experiences of local flavor of Iceland. The owner was very welcoming, staff was great, food was very good, we had Icelandic songs before dinner, tour of the town, Puffin watching experiences, and northern lights.

My room in the main building was very spartan -- king bed and not much else (no TV, no A/C, no safe, no fridge, no artwork) but it did have free internet. Others in the group had nicer, renovated rooms but no internet. We were only here for 1 night so not the end of the world. Staff made up for it with exceptional service and good food. We had a nice dinner buffet and the food was very good. Nice simple breakfast buffet -- focused more on European items like meat, bread & cheese and omitted American items like bacon, scrambled eggs and pastries. After dinner, the owner entertained us with some Icelandic folk songs and will be our tour guide tomorrow when we go to the nearby Puffin Rookery -- which is the main reason we're here in the first place. Seeing the puffins close up will make everything worthwhile.

The guest house dormitory was extremely noisy as everything echoed in it. You could hear everything through the walls. It was clean and the beds were comfy for twin beds. Towels were softer than most. We stayed here two nights and the hostess/owner wasn’t overly friendly or talkative like most. However the young lady with red hair in the dining room was exceptional. friendly and ready with a smile. The breakfast was adequate like most of Iceland. The big log and rocks you had to climb over to get to the boardwalk connecting the buildings was a little cumbersome with luggage. We had dinner here and most thought the meal was fine of soup, fish, salad and potatoes and couscous. Pricing was inconsistent with meal and drinks. Some seemed to overpay and other underpaid. Soup bread and water was 2500 isk while full meal and 3 beers was 4200 and others were charged 4400 for just meal no drink. No one knew if drinks were included or not. One night is sufficient here.

Having been a tour guide on and off in Iceland for 20 years I can say that the reception in Álfheimar is the kind of reception that makes me proud to be an Icelander. A part of me wishes that this hidden nature pearl to stay hidden forever. But another part of me wishes this place to get all the good clients they deserve. The owner and staff in Álheimar have been extremely helpful giving tips on the best hikes around. Borgarfjörður Eystri is hands down one of my favorite places in Iceland. And God knows there are many places to choose from.

A friendly and cozy family run hotel. Clean room and bed sheet and clean towels. Very delicious dinner, we stayed two nights, every dinner we got very fresh cat fish buffet. It has been a good memory for our family! We will visit again in the future!
