The Guðlaug hot tub on the beach is a 'must-visit'.
The Guðlaug hot tub on the beach is a 'must-visit'. If the outdoor location is a bit wild for you, it is also situated right next to the sports centre which has a heated pool.
Also; whilst I drove through the tunnel to get to Akranes, I recommend using the scenic route to get back. It does add a bit of time to your journey, but the landscape and scenery is fantastic.

Very nice small town, in 40 min from Reykjavik and near to many attractions in Snaefellsnes Peninsula in Iceland, so it's perfect location to visit many interesting places around.
The place to be in Akranes, for sure is a Lighthouse, since 1944, unique in Iceland which is possible to visit inside, climbing to the top. From the top you can see a beautiful panorama of 360° , this wonderful and romantic place offer some exhibitions and local music concerts.
Climbe the Lighthouse!
After climbing Lighthouse, may be you will be a little bit hungry, so have a nice lucnh or a dinner in Gamla Kaupfélagið can be very good idea. Very nice ambience, good local foog and local beer.
Enjoy Akranes in every season!

Akranes is some distance from Reykjavik, maybe an hours drive through a 6 km underground tunnel or 2 hours around the coast road. Don’t be put off though - the coast road leads through stunning views, there’s no delays or queues, its well maintained and passable in extreme weather- it’s a fantastic journey in itself. I wouldn’t say that public transport is particularly good though. There are no trains and buses are infrequent
Akranes itself is a quiet residential area with an interesting fishing history. There are a few grocery stores, at least one open till late and the local pool is decent, maybe not to the standard of some of the other local spas and pools nearer the capital, but certainly better than Council facilities where I live.

Quaint little seaside town with some interesting history.
Quaint little seaside town with some interesting history. There are limited dining opportunities but
Gamla Kaupfélagið is quite good with fresh local caught seafood dishes that will surely please. Drive the tunnel under the bay but don't miss the drive around bay on Hwy 47.

Lovely town and great base to explore the beautiful Western Region of Iceland. Also easy access to Reykjavík. Good cinema (Biohollin), lovely new restaurant (Gamla Kaupfélagiðand) and a documentary film festival (IceDocs) in mid-July. A trip to the hot pool by the football stadium and the lighthouse are highly recommended.
We had a nice stay.
The rooms and radiators were a little bit cold, which was surprising giving all Iceland geothermal energy.
The kitchen was fine.
Nice public shared living area.
Quick and good information from the owner via the booking app.
About 5 km. away is a nice public hot swimming pool.
Beds OK.
Cleanness OK
Very good and free parking facilities.
All in all good value for money. We liked it.
Really nice structure, for us it was a perfect one night stay on our way back to Reykjavik!
Kitchen and dining area were big clean and provided with all the tools you need (only colander was missing but we noticed that it is a common fact in Iceland's structures ahah).
Rooms were big and clean, the same for the bathrooms.
Quality/price ratio was super, couldn't ask for more.
Everything about this Cabin and location was just perfect. I have been to Iceland many times and it can be hard to find a property like this. If you want to get away from it all to relax and explore Iceland's West and South West then this is the perfect location.
The hosts were amazing to deal with as well. I would definitely book this property again.
Coffee and tea all day in the kitchen. Big kitchen, too, and a large sitting room. Self checkin was super easy, and the location was great. Excellent value for Iceland, one of the best I found in the entire country. I would definitely recommend a stay here if you need a place to crash within a few hours of Reykjavik.
We deliberately stayed at the Icelandic Lake House for the second time because we feel very comfortable there. The house is in a quiet location and incredibly cosy. You feel right at home. There is simply nothing missing. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfortable, a hot tub invites you to relax.
it central to Akranes and compared to most other accommodation, it had breakfast included but the one thing that added to the value of the property was the hospitality we received from the host. this was absolutely phenomenal and we highly recommend this to anyone visiting Iceland / Akranes
Definitely one of our favorit nights in Iceland! A very nice room/flat with a lot of space, a cozy livingroom, a kitchen with everything you need and a lovely garden. Also our 5-year-old loves it because of the many child friendly details. Thanks a lot, we really enjoyed it!
Our favorite stay in iceland! The house is cute, cozy and very well-furnished. The kitchen is well-equipped.
Everything was true to the pictures. Overall, We had a wonderful night here and would definitely come back if we visited Iceland again!
A lovely place to stay on our last night in Iceland. Nice layout of the living spaces with interesting books about the local area. A great evening spent with my family. I would have loved to have spent more time there.
such a cute house, and very very friendly owners. No complaints about anything. Everything about the home was very accommodating, and easy. Very clean and laid out well, one of the best stays we have had in Iceland!
it was a nice place to have as a “home base” while exploring Iceland. The kitchen was great as we were able to have breakfast before going out and snacks after coming back in.
This was the best property we stayed in Iceland. The hosts couldn’t of been nicer. They have free laundry, bicycles and a huge accommodation. If you’re in the area stay here!
Perfect escape! Super helpful and kind hosting. Equally good location for family or adults, off the beaten track but near enough for exploring the west of Iceland.
Friendly dogs and chickens on the property. Very pretty spot close to Akranes town. The bunk bed was comfortable and the sofa bed worked out fine to fit 4 of us.
basic guesthouse stay - no breakfast, but as I was leaving early for the aiport that didn't matter. Very confortable room in a nice location outside Akranes
Nice comfortable cabin. (All beds in Iceland are hard in my opinion, but otherwise comfortable) Very modern little cabin with everything you could need
