Location, facilities, staff and the food was outstanding! Our dinner was delicious and our breakfast was prepared to go and to our surprise we had two yummy sandwiches and juice boxes.. very sweet as we had to check out at 7am for planned activities… Service from Ale was wonderful! The property is really in the middle of nowhere…. Making it the perfect location for the northern lights…. and we couldn’t say enough about the outside hot tub… one of the most incredible experiences ever! We were blown away truly!

the only thing that bothered me just a slight bit was that our room smelled a little bit of mildew.... it went real bothersome however I noticed it eery time we came into our room

excellent breakfast and we loved the location although a little tricky getting there due to their first snowfall. so relaxing and loved the soothing music in the lobby and especially the hot tub outside under the sky

Had to drive on gravel roads to reach, including driveway and parking lot of hotel.

Nice little stay out in the country with a cool geothermal spa hot tub in the back. Complimentary breakfast was a great offering.

Secluded and beautiful area. Staff was very friendly and helped us a lot with planning hikes and activities for the next day. Room was clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this place especially if you are tired of hustle and bustle of the city.

Even though the location is out in the country, that is also it's charm. Just walk outside to a very dark night for excellent viewing of the northern lights. Many things to explore from their location.

Everything! Location, staff, food and room were amazing!

The location is a bit remote, and it's a bit scary to drive there at night, as you have to walk about ten kilometers on a small road; the room is large, neat and clean; the view outside the window is particularly beautiful; the breakfast is relatively simple but very delicious.

The hot tub might be a little better shelterd.

The location is fine. In a beautiful valley close to the mountains. Friendly staff and the dinner was very good.

Nothing--we loved it!

This hotel is special. The location, the secluded serene setting, the hot pot that overlooks the expansive open field. We loved everything about it. Dinner was really good. My husband said it was the best lamb gravy he'd ever had--and he's tasted a lot of it. :) The staff was great and the owners put a lot of love into providing a nice experience. If it wasn't cloudy the night we were there it would have been the ultimate place to see the Northern Lights. We had no problems finding the place and check-in was a breeze.

There was nothing to dislike. The Basalt hotel exceeded all expectations.

The breakfast was very tasty. Cleanliness was off the charts in both the hallways, rooms, and bathrooms. The location is far from most other things but it is 100% worth it. Absolutely stunning location.

I couldn't get outside after hours to see if Lights were happening.

Food is excellent here! Loved the natural hot springs/tub! Horse riding nearby at Oddsstadir was amazing! Needed that soak!

The window only opened a couple of inches making it difficult to get air in the room.

Loved the piano music playing in the lobby. The location is isolated which makes it very quiet and dark there. The breakfast was good. They have a hot pot that you can soak in which is so peaceful and hot! Nice restaurant and small bar.

It was quite a ways from main roads and there was no signage until there.

Rooms were new and comfortable with a great view down the valley. The free breakfast was a good offering.
