    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

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

    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 ❤️

    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.

    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.

    The guesthouse was located at a perfect location, relatively near akureyri but it felt remote enough, surrounded by mountains, with a small waterfall and farm animals around the area. The host is very accommodating and friendly and made us feel directly at home. The room itself was quite spacious and felt modern, while the kitchen was very well equipped and cosy!
