Very friendly people, lovely coffee shop and tidy apartment.
Pros:

Very friendly people, clean apartment, perfect for an overnight visit. Creative and funny coffee shop as well with great cake.

Cons:

The parking spots off the cars were pretty close to the window so not ideal for privacy, but other than that nothing to complain.

Appartamento grazioso
Pros:

Una camera graziosa e pulita, situata in un piccolo paesino , proprietari molto disponibili.

Cons:

Unica nota negativa sono le tende che non oscurano del tutto durante la notte che nel periodo in cui siamo stati ossia maggio giugno non è mai buia.

Pros:

From outside didn't look so nice but when we opened the door we were surprised to see such a lovely room with a little kitchen space - very pretty! Comfy beds.

Cons:

Was a bit too much (kitsch) deco a bit everywhere, ie. plastic plants, lots of deco pillows (which normally end on the floor) otherwise nice place - would recommend if someone planned to stop in Borgarnes.

Heel goed
Pros:

Leuk studiootje met alles dat je nodig hebt. Mooi uitzicht (als het weer goed genoeg is) en wij vonden het een comfortabel bed. Erg stil ‘s nachts (met raam open).

Cons:

Ik wist het van tevoren en het hoort erbij, maar de geur van de zwavel in het warme water is wel echt..doordringend.
