I think the Borealis Hotel is a gem. It has a very nice sitting area in the main house; the restaurant was good, and the room we had was clean and comfortable. The staff was good and the service excellent. I also enjoyed the fact that the hotel had a bar. I highly recommend this hotel. WBW

The hotel did not match the photos posted on the internet. The Superiorzimmer so small that one could hardly move. The same goes for the bathroom. It is absolutely impossible for dogs to run around in the dining room.

Landelijk gelegen hotel

Landelijk en centraal binnen Golden Circle gelegen hotel. Kamer zeer klein (zeker geen Superior). Geen schoonmaak gedurende 3 dagen tijdens ons verblijf. geen drie sterren waard.

A warm welcome and ideal location

We had a wonderful stay at the Borealis. Our hosts could not have made us feel more welcome. The room was clean, cozy and comfortable. The location of the hotel within the Golden Circle is ideal--just 10 minutes from Kerid crater and 15 min or so from Thingvellir National Park. We also enjoyed a very nice buffet dinner in the dining room and a great breakfast in the morning. An extremely convenient place to stay and a great experience with wonderful hosts!

This place is so cute. I loved the dogs on the property. They had dinner which was a life saver since there’s no dining nearby. The room was nice and quiet. Bring your own toiletries as there’s nothing provided. You’ll also need a mask for sleeping since the curtains are not blackout. Overall I’d stay again!
