Guesthouse Borg

Grindavik

I stayed for 5 days in late Jan 2016, the ingenuity and professionalism of both the gentlemen and lady was exceptional. The gentleman kindly offered rides to the Blue Lagoon coach stop for me to get on the fab service to Reykjavik every morning. In addition, he also voluntarily took me around the harbour where his family’s fishing boat was parked along with a million others [ there was a national strike from the fishermen’s union at that time] and shared several details of the fishing sector of Iceland. A big thanks also goes to his lovely elderly sister who shared a lot of interesting history and information about Icelandic horses.
The breakfast and room amenities also offered good value for money.

A home from home when it goes sub-zero in Grindavík

We have spent 2 fantastic nights at Grindavik Guesthouse, the first and the last of our amazing journey around Iceland! We couldn't ask for a better place! Dagmar, who speaks very fluently italian, has welcomed us as old friends and so we have left, as friends!
The guesthouse is close to the airport (20 min), to the Blue Lagoon (10 min) and to Grindavik Volcano. Rooms are spacious, there is a beautiful common area and we have loved the abundant breakfast included that you can enjoy in the common kitchen! Congrats guys for the passion you put in what you do. we can't wait to come back there to you. Well done

Wonderful place

It's true, the guesthouse is like a home from home but when we were there the upstairs shower room was out of action being refurbished, meaning everyone using the downstairs shower room. Unfortunately, this wasn't all. The downstairs bathroom had its light switch hanging off the wall, with wires exposed. And the mirror on the inside of the cabinet door was smashed. Our standard room was also too narrow to place a beside table on each side of the double bed.  We had booked two nights but snow threatened to close the road to the airport on our second morning. Se we decided to move nearer to the airport. We agreed we were liable to pay for both nights, including a breakfast we would not be eating. No refund or consideration was offered for any of the above. Quite the opposite, in fact. We discovered that Booking.com had been informed (by someone....) that we had left without paying. Technically, this was correct, even though we paid as soon as we could after reaching our alternative accommodation. And in practice, it meant we paid for our two nights (even though we only stayed for one) well before our booking period had ended. Our bill was also confusing, referring to us having had a "family room" when we very much had not had a family room (I think this was just an immaterial mistake) but currency conversions meant we actually ended up paying more than we believed we had initially booked for. I hate leaving negative reviews, but we did have a stressful experience here. We enjoyed the company of one of our hosts, but we never set eyes on the woman who dealt with the bookings. It is also true that the house has a nice, homely feel. But, sadly, our impression was spoilt by the poor state of some of the facilities and the attitude after we left.

An unfortunate visit

We stayed here when we got stranded in a storm as Police had closed only road back to Reykjavík after our visit to the Blue Lagoon. Snow was so deep and biting wind, owner was so  kind and helpful showing us where to park (our hire car) safely. Room was warm and cosy with heated blanket. Told us places to eat but everywhere closed due to snow we ended up at petrol station which has a fast food diner. Certainly an adventurous start to our first night, almost glad we got stranded though to have stayed here and experience a bit of the real Iceland. Breakfast was help yourself cereal, cold meats, cheese, toast etc. Just lovely 😊

Oasis in the storm

Excellent location for the first night in Iceland, even more when you are planning to enjoy Blue Lagoon.
We also got good recommendations from the host for the dinner and the surrounding activities.
Finally, the breakfast was really good.


Good place to stay for the night

Bjork kindly showed us round her house - my wife and I stayed for one night before and Blue lagoon and flight home. Cute place, loads of room and comfortable. Great stay, don’t judge it on the area or outside - the place is an amazingly comfortable stay and great location - GREAT VALUE

Lovely place (like a home stay)

We stayed one night in a room for 4. The primary reason was the proximity to the Blue Lagoon and Keflavik airport.

The Guesthouse did not disappoint. Our hostess greeted us and gave us a tour and a lot of useful info about the city and the area. The room was very spacious and the shared spaces clean and tidy. The living room has enough to occupy you in the days of torrential rain and the kitchen is more than well equipped for self catering but also for the breakfast provided by the house. We were able to park right in the front yard.

All in all, highly recommended for Grindavik and a Blue Lagoon visit.

Very pleasant overnight stay

Location isn't the best for young couples with a budget, although guesthouse borg is great value for money! The man who runs it was so helpful and made the trip much more satisfying! Top bloke thank you

Good value for money

Everything was clean! I was by myself yet the room had Two Single beds. There's a radiator too! The couple was very welcoming and there's parking on site too! Paid 47 euros per night! It wasn't that hard to find the place. It's a quiet area!

Excellent stay and wonderful couple

My friend and I were in Iceland for 5 days and loved every minute of it except for our stay here. 
We selected this hotel bc it was close to the blue lagoon and we had a night time reservation. We did not want to travel far late at night. 
We arrived at the Borg guesthouse around 9:45 pm and were greeted with a VERY UNFRIENDLY welcome by the woman of the house. She shushed and insulted us for no reason at all. She was very unpleasant and set an uncomfortable tone. 
She immediately began explaining all of her rules. We did not experience this anywhere else during our travels. All of the guest homes were super friendly and easy going. 
When we walked through the house and entered our room we were extremely upset. The home is filthy. There is mold and mildew all along the shower which looks like it hasn't been scrubbed in ages. The bathroom floor had urine on it and the kitchen was gross. We couldn't wait to get the heck out of there. 
The location itself doesn't have much to offer either. You can skip this for sure. Stay away!!! Def better guest houses.
