Blabjorg Resort - Bakkagerði

Wir haben auf unserer Islandrundreise 2 Nächte in einem Deluxe-Zimmer verbracht und waren absolut begeistert.
Die Zimmer sind liebevoll gestaltet & sehr einladend. Das Frühstück ist im direkt angeschlossenen Restaurant und sehr zu empfehlen. Auch das Abendessen ist im Restaurant sehr lecker und preislich (für Island) absolut angemessen.
Das Hotel hat einen Spa, den man gegen Gebühr benutzen kann, er verfügt über 3 warme Pools & einen kalten „Tub“ sowie 3 Saunen - wir waren fast immer alleine dort und konnten super entspannen.
Das Hotel liegt schön abgelegen in eine kleinen Fischerdorf, Polarlichter könnte man also gut sehen.

Absolutely amazing! The food at their restaurant is delicious(I am a very picky eater)! Dinners are great and breakfast even better. The rooms are clean and nice in a Scandinavian style. One of the best hikes in Iceland is located 15 minutes from the resort location. Unfortunately, Puffins are a seasonal thing so I didn’t get to see them but this place is worth visiting even if Puffins already migrated. There’s also a local brewery next to the resort restaurant that is absolutely delicious, highly recommend. I wish to this place a lot of customers and more business to keep developing the town and the area. They’re doing a great job and their staff is very friendly and kind.

My husband and I spent one night at Blabjorg Resort during our Ring Road trip and it was really great! The rooms were small but cozy and the bed was so comfy, especially after a long day exploring. The view was super neat and we were able to see the Northern lights from our window! If I stayed here during puffin season, the location would definitely get 5 stars but because we were here in September, it was a bit out of the way. Beautiful drive, but can get icy in the snow. Would definitely recommend this place!

Ich durfte 2 Nächte in diesem absolut tollen Resort verbringen. Ich hatte ein Deluxe Zimmer mit eigenem Eingang und kleinem Balkon mit Blick auf den Fjord. Es gibt einen Spa Bereich mit Finnischer Sauna, Dampfbad, Infrarot Sauna, 2 Pools (unterschiedliche Temperaturen), ein Cold Plunge und ein Hot Tub (dieser war leider nicht befüllt). Da nicht viel los war, durfte ich auch länger als 1,5h bleiben. Handtücher und Swimsuits kann man sich ausleihen. Gäste bekommen einen Rabatt. Am 2. Tag kostet die Nutzung sogar nur noch 2500 kronen(50% off auf den bereits reduzierten Preis). An den Pools wird man bedient und kann sich Drinks bestellen.
Einen Abend konnte man sogar vom Pool aus die Nordlichter gucken.
Außerdem gibt es im Resort ein Restaurant zu den üblichen isländischen Preisen.
Das Frühstück könnte etwas vielfältiger sein, aber es ist trotzdem für jeden etwas dabei. Es gibt viel hausgemachte Cookies und leckere Marmelade.
Im angrenzenden Guesthouse befindet sich eine super ausgestattet Küche, die man mitnutzen kann.
Ich würde jederzeit wieder kommen!
Achtung im Winter: der Weg dorthin führt über zahlreiche Serpentinen und kann bei glatten und vereisten Straßen etwas schwierig zu fahren sein

Clean, comfortable apartments equipped with laundry (washer only) and kitchenette. This is an amazing place to stay on the east coast with a beautiful drive in over the mountain pass. The restaurant / distillery alone is worth a visit. We stayed one night in late September and spotted the aurora when the clouds cleared up; would return to this location for puffin season in the future! The staff was also very kind and helped look for an item I thought I had left behind after checking out.

The hotel, spa, and restaurant staff were all amazing. Very helpful and pleasant. The views from the resort are beautiful. Multiple hot tubs and saunas. The restaurant was also very good.

We stayed in Room 112 - a beautifully furnished apartment with ocean views and comfy beds. The apartment was very spacious and clean. There was a washer, but no dryer. 2-in-1 shampoo and shower gel was provided. Shower screen was too small so a floor squeegee was provided to swipe water back into the bath area after shower. Breakfast spread and quality was excellent including some homemade cakes, breads and cookies. Location was just a 10min drive from the puffins. Our best stay in Iceland and highly recommended

Terrible Experience: Unsafe Advice and Refusal to Refund
I was unable to reach the hotel due to dangerous road conditions; I did not have a proper vehicle (snow chains, 4x4) to drive safely on the mountain pass, which was completely iced over.
The hotel failed on multiple fronts:
• Lack of Warning: They provided no adequate warning that the journey requires crossing a mountain road that may be impassable without specialized equipment, especially if it has snowed. This information is critical for guests.
• Insensitive and Unsafe Suggestion: When I explained my predicament, they refused to offer any practical solutions other than insisting I put my safety at risk by attempting the drive anyway. A customer's life should not be jeopardized for a reservation.
• Refusal to Offer Alternatives: Instead of just demanding I come, they could have offered a constructive solution, such as arranging to pick me up or meet me at a safer, more accessible location, as it was not a significant distance.
• Focus on Profit Over Safety: Their response to my request for a complimentary cancellation was dismissive—they refused to reimburse the charge, citing "they can’t control the weather!" and clearly prioritizing the money. Consequently, I was forced to scramble and find last-minute alternative accommodation nearby.
To make matters worse, be aware that the hotel will ask for an additional, unmentioned fee upon arrival, even after you have already paid for your booking.
Overall: This establishment demonstrates a complete disregard for guest safety and customer service. I strongly advise booking elsewhere.

Answering the hotel:
I’ve cancelled my booking during my call and in that same call the hotel said I wouldn’t be reimburse. If others went they have their reasons or car conditions , I was alone and without a proper car for snow or ice. I can see clearly you don’t have empathy but the one lacking transparency is you.
There’s others complaints like mine in booking and Google , I wasn’t the only one. You should really tell people where they are driving to.
The extra fee is written in the text you sent after the booking . Another municipal tax I had already paid when pre-paying the booking.
