Reviews of Guesthouse Baegisa

Now this was the best stay we had in all of our Iceland trip and Elisabeth was the nicest, most welcoming person we met. The guesthouse has everything you could need and it is incredibly clean. I also recommend to have a walk above the farm - there is a nice gorge with a great view of the entire valley, with many a sheep along the way. And the jars of homemade cookies in the kitchen area and homemade jam for breakfast really sealed the deal for me. 11/10

Cosy and clean The staff knows when to hold 'em, knows when to fold 'em. Good for her! Thanks for everything.

Location was beautiful. Elizabeth was a wonderful host. Her meals were the best.

Superb B&B ! Very friendly and helpfull host. Excellent breakfast ! The best place in Iceland to stay

First thing to mention is the host Elisabeth who is the nicest person and makes everyone a wonderful breakfast. As for the room, it is spacious enough and spotless clean. The view is spectacular and the bed is comfortable. Very good experience. Thank you Elisabeth!

Great breakfast, So welcoming, comfy space for a night or two.

Nothing - this is a 15/10 not a 10/10

We traveled around Iceland as a family (my husband, our daughter, and I) and spent one of the coziest, most memorable nights of our trip at Guesthouse Baegisa. 🏡 This is not just a guesthouse — it's a true family home with a separate cottage for guests, surrounded by a landscape that reminded us of the Alps. Everything is clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully arranged. The host is an incredibly kind and warm-hearted woman, and it was a pleasure to talk to her. In the morning, we were served a delicious homemade breakfast, made with care — a welcome break from standard hotel buffets. 🐑 The highlight for our daughter was a nearby farm where she was allowed to bottle-feed baby lambs. She squealed with joy — and so did we. One of the most heartwarming moments of our entire trip. 🚘 Great location, especially if you're traveling through the north. Parking is right by the house. If you're looking to experience authentic Icelandic hospitality, surrounded by silence, nature, and warmth — this is the place. No exaggeration — the best stay we had in Iceland. 🧦 And the selection of warm wool socks available for guests was the cutest thing I've ever seen in a hotel ❤️

Too bad we only had one night — we would’ve loved to stay longer.

The host was very friendly and accomodating. Nice touches in decor and additional treats. Full dinner option and included cold breakfast with lots of delicious options. Host is very accomodating and helpful. Private bathrooms are very spacious and clean.

No negatives

The location was beautiful. We loved all the animals around. Breakfast was delicious and opt to have her cook you dinner. You will not be disappointed.

Bucolic location, Elizabeth was very welcoming

Homey, in country with beautiful views, 25 minutes to a village. Owner was so sweet and fun to talk to. We were able to use dryer to dry our wet clothes (rained all day). She showed us the barns with sheep, cute lambs, cows. She even had a little cabinet with her handmade socks, hats, art, jam, etc. Clean room, comfy beds and coverings.

The owner was really kind. Breakfast was really Icelandic and homemade as well as the dinner and very good. The place is beautiful and not too far from Akureyri. Highly suggested.

Nice farm location. Room was simple, but clean. Host was charming and the food was very good. I would recommend having them cook your dinner. Tasty and reasonably priced for Iceland.

Guesthouse Baegisa is an idyllic location a few miles outside of Akureyri. Just a gorgeous location in the countryside. The hosts at Guesthouse Baegisa were charming and helpful. The breakfasts there were wonderful. We loved the peaceful surroundings and wished we had a few more days to stay there. We highly recommend this place.

The guesthouse is on a sheep farm so it is very quiet. Yet it is conveniently located not far from a main road but away from the city nearby. The proprietress, Elisabeth, came out of her house to welcome us as we drove up the driveway and guided us to our room. It was a very warm reception. Our room (twin room) was on the small side but workable. It was clean and warm even though the wind was howling outside. The dinner we ordered turned out to be a typical Icelandic dish, and it was delicious. The main course was surpassed by the dessert. Breakfast was excellent; it included eggs cooked to order. We had a most enjoyable stay.

Guesthouse Baegisa is an absolutely beautiful property! The hosts were lovely and most helpful. The breakfasts were wonderful. It is located in some spectacular countryside. We would highly, highly recommend this location for those looking for a quiet, peaceful location but close enough to Akureyi to enjoy what the town has to offer

everything - elisabeth was so friendly and helpful; place was cosy, peaceful and quiet yet close to town; breakfast was superb (amazing homemade granola and granola bar); homemade cookies were delicious! only regret is that we didn't manage to try dinner as we could not book it in time, and that we couldn't stay any longer 11/10 would absolutely recommend to anyone, thank you again elisabeth!

The property is very beautiful with a Mountain View. You wake up next to cows, sheep, and dogs. The sheep came right up to the fence then we witnessed their dog going to work to herd the sheep away from us. Very neat experience. Elisabeth was a great host. Her son was right next door and was also very accommodating when we needed help late. The beds were the most comfortable beds we slept in our entire trip.

Liked everything

Everything! Elisabeth and her family were so welcoming Home made goodies for breakfast. Elisabeth always had time for all her guests. This was by far our best accommodation in Iceland. loved it! Highly recommend.

Warm atmosphere, kind Lady from the Guesthouse and breakfast full of good things to eat. The best one in our Icelandic trip so far!
