We have sleeped in one of the small boxes with a curved roof that only seeing them is worth the price, they look like the Lord of the Rings. The family ”cassette” has a main environment and a micro-site, where only one bed (maybe not suitable for claustrophobic people) comes into, in practice, like being in a tent, but with roof and wooden walls. There is also a beautiful chair with a mini-fridge (in my opinion, unusual), and the price is very low for the average Icelandic prices. The basic price should be added to the rental of covered beds and towels (if you don't have them on your own), and I also think we were about 100 euros. The camping offers all the services you can want, the bathrooms are very clean (although they are few for the potential affluence - I never really expected to go to the bathroom) and there are two areas with kitchen and dining room. I recommend the excellent restaurant with a magnificent glass with views of cascades and nature. The Troll Garden is also very nice, perfect for a walk, whether you have children or without. It was also the first place where we saw the Aurora: if you climb into the hill where the Troll Garden is, you have no light disturbances and You can enjoy the splendour of the lights of the North ... There are also water-massing baths with heated water. We didn't use them because they were always full. But there are other thermal areas I recommend, such as Krauma, near the campsite. We had the luck of good weather and mite temperatures, but certainly if you have to go to the night's bathroom in the cold maybe the experience may not be fantastic (but it is obviously part of the camping life). There are also private bathrooms, but the price is rising.
In order to go to Caoma Mountain, I have to stay here. The hotel is quite new, the room is not big, the bathroom is smaller. There are several large buckets in the yard that can be used in hot springs. Did not eat at the hotel, I don't know the price.
A hotel where you can easily see the Northern Lights. Thank you for upgrading the Superior Room. The hotel has notice to watch the Aurora. I was so happy to see the wonderful Aurora that night!

We were so looking forward to our stay here. We were in Iceland on our honeymoon and thought that this place sounded very romantic. Sadly, when we checked in, there was no one at all working there. We had received an email about where to find our key to our room when we arrived, but that was it. We had assumed that perhaps the owner had just thought that they might be off on a horse ride or in town shopping and would be back soon. We had really wanted to go horseback riding and were looking forward to the hot tub. Sadly we missed out on both which was very disappointing. We had also hoped to get some questions answered about some places we wanted to visit in the area and of course, had no chance to do that. The next morning, we hoped we'd finally get to meet the owners, but there was just a young girl working there who was very lovely, and who had prepared a nice breakfast buffet, but she wasn't from the area, and was unable to answer any of our questions. Also, the shower in our room did not drain properly and we ended up with water all over the floor which meant we had to use our bath towels to mop up the mess. That left us with no towels to dry off with, and no one around to get us new ones. We rarely complain, and we typically camp and are used to roughing it, and I will say that the bed was comfortable and we had a good night's sleep. We were just disappointed that the owners didn't make any effort to be there to book riding times with guests or to recommend restaurants or answer questions about Iceland horses, or to do a simple task like getting us towels when we desperately needed them.
We spent two nights in Borgarnes at this comfortable, well-equipped cabin. We took advantage of the kitchen for most of our meals, and enjoyed the spacious living room area. Much better than a hotel room, especially for a family! The cabins are several kilometers outside of town, so a car is necessary, but the gorgeous views and privacy were well worth it! Highly recommended!
