Honestly, this place blew my mind. I didn't rent a room here, I rented a freaking suite! It was ginourmous! The only place during my trip around Iceland that had a private bathroom. And it was actually a relatively cheap place, compared with other places I rented. Jesus, I felt like I was some kind of burguoisie lord.

We were very happy with our stay in Akureyri. It was close to a small grocery store and easy to find on the map. The room was very comfortable with good heating and hot water. The kitchen had everything you needed with nice coffee, utensils and appliances.

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 ❤️

    This lovely guesthouse is a gem. The rooms are clean, warm and cosy. But the best part of the stay is the lovely host Elisabeth. She offered to prepare us dinner, because the stay is away from any other restaurants. She allowed us access to the washer and drier, so we could clean and dry our bathing suits and towels. All the little handmade details, the selected decorations and dishes give this place a special soul. The breakfast was delicious also, with everything you could want. Would really recommend this stay.
