A peaceful cabin in the middle of a "wood", the host decorated with detail and so passionate that I can feel it. You have everything that you need. Certainly if I comeback to Iceland I will book this cabin. Only one caveat, make sure when you come still have daylight to find the cabin.

It is considered the best place to observe the aurora. I booked for 2 days and stayed for only one day as the road was controlled, but it was worth the cost. This is because we were able to see the aurora for the first time here, which we had not seen for six days.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at the Reykjavik Marina Berjaya Hotel! The location is perfect—right in the marina and close to the heart of the city, making it incredibly convenient to explore Reykjavik’s top attractions. The hotel itself is modern, comfortable, and offers fantastic value for money. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is their exceptional service. I had to checkout really early in the morning to catch a flight to Greenland and accidentally left my tablet in my room. To my positive surprise, the staff went above and beyond to assist me. They promptly located it and arranged to send it back to me, which was a huge relief! This wouldn’t have happened in many other places and I hope the staff knows that, when doing that, they’re actually giving guests a very premium service. Reykjavik Marina Berlanja Hotel combines comfort, convenience, and outstanding hospitality. I can’t recommend it enough—definitely 5 stars!

Akranes is a pleasant community within east driving distance...

Akranes is a pleasant community within east driving distance to Reykjavik. Accommodations there are less expensive compared to the surrounding are but also are not as updated. There was one good sit-down restaurant in the town. The public swimming pool was nice and there a public geothermal baths on the beach there. When the fish factory opens, whole portions of the town stink of fish. If you are looking for more affordable accommodation for a one night stop, this town is a good option, but there is not much to see and do in the town itself.

Akranes is one of our favorite day trips from Reykjavík.

Akranes is one of our favorite day trips from Reykjavík. We usually take the bus out and back, although I could see it being a great longer stop for non-locals too. It is much quieter with far less tourist traffic than other towns around Iceland. The lighthouse is a delight. It is open to the public most days and has amazing acoustics. The lighthouse keeper invites folks to sing or play instruments and will happily accommodate musicians who want to record there! There are also wonderful beaches and a public pool by the ocean. The museum is also lovely. We walk the town for the trip, but I could see a car being useful as well.

very nice and comfortable house. in a beautiful place. friendly and helpful owners. The house is small but we didn't need more space to have a perfect stay. there is a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. It is very hot inside (you can make it less hot if you want). Location is good for a start/end of a trip in the west Iceland, and in the evening you can go for a nice walk to a mountain or beach or city of Akranes. PS. it was extremely windy during our stay but you cannot predict the weather in Iceland 🙂

Overall, the place is nice to stay for a short vacation. It has heating, hot and cold water, bathroom, shower, fridge, TV. It is in quite a remote area, so it is a very quite place. Two towns, Akranes and Borgarness are reasonably close. Also, there are many attractions around Hvalfjord and Borgarfjord. Reykjavik is around 1 hour drive away.

It basically feels like living in a local Icelandic house rather than "guesthouse". Super lovely couple running the place makes the stay extra pleasant! Sulfur smelling hot water is probably not a desired thing for locals, but made us feel like in a thermal facility :) Laundry room was very convenient.

I loved the location, front-sea with wide green fields behind. Less than 10 mins by car from Akranes, not that far from Reykjavik. The guesthouse is elegant and clean, I appreciated the abundant disposable of towels for the guests. The kitchen's fully equipped. Mornings on the terrace are awesome!
