We were there off the season and there weren't many guests, for some it can be quite scary, so if you don't like things like this, I don't recommend booking. Some guests checked in really late, and there was a lot of noise between 10 - 11:30 so I didn't sleep very well. Dinner was nice, I had cod and my partner lamb, however even for Iceland, it was pricey. For this type of hotel I would expect better breakfast, there weren't so many options, coffee wasn't very good, they had two types of ham/salami however it had very interesting colour and it seemed like one of the cheaper ones you can buy. I had celears, fruit and juice and enjoyed that.,

It's a hotel in the middle of nowhere, there is gravel road to it. The view from the hot tub is lovely and we really enjoyed our time there. The person at the reception was very helpful and they provided us with bath robes for the hot tub. Maybe these could be already in the room to make it a bit easier, we had to ask. There was a hairdryer in the bathroom and a small bottle of shampoo/body wash. The floor was heated. The room was quite spacious, TV with a few channels and also Amazon Prime, which was a nice touch and we spent out evening watching a film.

Absolutely LOVED everything about this hotel. It was classy and modern, but didn't scream 'luxury' in your face. Super quiet, secluded and enwrapped in nature. Fantastic hot tub. Food, staff, vibe, music - everything was just perfect. We would come here to stay for a week to completely unwind. The hike to the waterfalls (ask the staff) was so worth it - so many waterfalls up the hill, one after another! Location is truly far from everything, but it wasn't a problem for us. We enjoyed the road 52 in itself.

No soundproofing so you could hear doors opening and closing all throughout the night.

The property is beautiful and surrounded by nature. The hot tub is perfect! We loved our dishes at the restaurant and watching the sunset during dinner. Incredibly peaceful and serene!

Discreet but a wonderful hotel with a hot tub overlooking the valley. Modern, nice size rooms, comfortable beds, nice shower room, everything tastefully decorated. Great views through the big windows from the dining room. The staff are very nice. We strongly recommend a stay.

Amazing hotel, we've been to 9 of different hotels in Iceland. 4 star hotels can't compare to Basalt!

We liked everything

Absolutely everything. Stayed there for 2 nights on the arrival, loved it so much we ditched our last hotel in Iceland and came back for another night. The rooms are clean and it's a relatively new hotel, beds are comfortable. Staff are super friendly, the Internet is good, can watch Netflix. They have boardgames and books in reception lobby. Bar and dining has great views, the food is tasty and fresh. We saw the northern lights on the first night and took a dip in the hot spring tub with amazing views. The hotel provides robes and sliders. You can also hike up the hill to see the sunset if you wish to and there is a small waterfall as well. The breakfast was basic (like everywhere else) but enough, the brown bread was super nice. Note from my bf: really good professional tiling in bathrooms (stayed in 2 different rooms) 😊
