The hotel is situated in a beautiful surrounding. Very good combination with the golden circle. You can use all the board games, the hot tub, walk around in the beautiful area, sit in the garden, pet the dogs:) In the garden there is a little "pray house" for silent time and meditation, welcome and open to all religions When you enter it feels like coming home in a beautiful house. All vintage stile, antique with a colourful twist. The team is very warm and welcoming "you can sit at the bonfire with us in the evening if you like". Icelandic people, who are open to tell you about their country and culture. The food is outstanding! All biological, local, fresh and home made. Prepared with so much taste and dedication. We where happy that we could stay there for an other night. We can highly recommend this hotel to all travellers who like a warm connected place. The photos that are on the website are from the old situation. It is so much more beautiful now.

First things first, do not miss the dinner. You don't get much detail on what will be served and then they start bringing out this incredible buffet spread - beautiful salads, breads, meat, fish, potatoes, etc. And you sit in this dining area with all kinds of antiques and eclectic décor. The rooms are small but very comfortable and clean. We met the owner, who just bought the place and she was lovely and very accessible. Oh, and the breakfast that's included is also delicious. This place is quirky and fun and definitely worth it. Did I mention how good the dinner was?

Excellent stay with very friendly and helpful staff who were willing to talk about their country and their customs. Plenty of options for breakfast to get the day started. The dinner they served every night was some of the best food I've ever eaten and there was and abundance of variety. The location is beautiful and a great place to be immersed in Iceland's countryside. Would highly recommend staying at this wonderful hotel!

We had a lovely stay here. I think it has a little more of an Airbnb vibe than a traditional hotel. The main building is decorated with a more eclectic artsy style. And the room we stayed in was a little more homey than we were expecting. It was so quiet, we never heard any other guests at night and they had fantastic blackout curtains which are quite necessary in Iceland. The furniture in our room was a little beat up with scratches and such and the pillows could use an upgrade. Just fyi there were some dogs in the main building when we checked in, but they were very sweet and friendly. We didn’t get a chance to eat here, but breakfast was included.

We had a wonderful stay here. Our room was very comfortable, and even a bit trendy with unpolished concrete floors. We had dinner (a buffet of Icelandic specialities) and breakfast in the hotel restaurant and enjoyed them very much. Our hosts were extremely friendly and could not have been more welcoming and friendly. Excellent location in the Golden Circle; close to everything. Would definitely return.

What a charming experience! The new owners have just started doing some changes, but it already is a nice place to stay. Nice environment, warm welcome, excellent kitchen with freshly prepared local food and... a hot tub😉

We stayed 2 days at the redecorated Borealis with a family of 4 in April 2023. The Staff made us feel at home the moment we walked in. The Farm-to-table dinners were exquisite, breakfast was abundant and fresh and dipping into the hot tub on a cold evening was the sweet icing on the cake. Don’t forget to try out some of the very original and fun board games available in the lobby!

It was rainy...it was windy....and we found this oasis at the Borealis Hotel! The room was pleasant , quiet and comfortable but the food in the restaurant was outstanding!! Worth a special trip. The dinner was absolutely delicious, Swedish meatballs, fish pie, salads, and a lemon curd dessert that was to die for!
