Overall Ratings & Reviews Brú Country Estate

Lovely tranquil and quaint place to stay. Adored sitting in the outdoor hot tub watching the stars. Our host was very friendly and enjoyed his company at breakfast.

My fiancé and I stayed at this charming hotel during our trip to Iceland, and it truly felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect—close enough to the Golden Circle and southern Iceland's top attractions, making it easy to explore. The breakfast was delicious, and the chef was exceptionally kind, always making us feel welcome. The atmosphere was so cozy and inviting. Every night, we felt like we were returning to a peaceful retreat. One of the highlights was definitely seeing the Northern Lights from the backyard—such an unforgettable experience! And the pets! The hotel had both dogs and cats, but surprisingly, there was no pet smell at all. There was also adorable Icelandic horses that love pets in a short walking distance. It was incredibly clean, so you'd never know there were animals around, except for the adorable Mia, the best cat receptionist, who always greeted us with a warm and welcoming presence. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to experience Iceland in comfort and warmth!

Beautiful property with great dark skies that can be viewed from a hot tub. Excellent breakfast buffet.

Such a beautiful hotel out in the countryside. The dinner was fantastic, the hot tub was one of the best I have been in. Very quiet, very quaint. Would recommend to everyone looking to stay out of the main villages!

The property is a typical, warm and friendly country inn, nestled on the outskirts of Thingvellir National Park. It is an easy drive to many amazing natural landmarks including Thingvellir, Silfra Fissure, Geysir, Gullfoss waterfall, Secret Lagoon thermal springs, and much more. The included breakfast was excellent, as was the buffet dinner they offered in their restaurant. We stayed two nights and saw the aurora from the parking lot both nights. The rooms were clean, quiet and comfortable. I would definitely recommend staying here.

perfect location for touring- hot tub added extra

Super convenient check-in and checkout.

A wonderful spot. We saw the Northern Lights from the driveway- perfect viewing! The rooms were basic and clean. The reception area was lovely and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious. A lovely place to stop over.

Room was very small. I personally don’t like wet bathrooms where the shower soaks the entire bathroom.

Beautiful hotel and excellent costumer service and delicious food, un love with this place

Nice hotel, my room was spacious with nice comfortable furnishings and a nice patio overlooking the lake. Didn’t get a chance to try the food there but there are dining options weighing driving distance. Hot tubs were a bit tricky to get to and I got strange and somewhat unfriendly vibes from the staff that checked me in that I found concerning as a solo female traveler, therefore would avoid returning here.

We met the owners of the property. We were invited to a bon-fire during an aurora event. Overall, a wonderful experience.

We arrived late and still had not eaten dinner. We were able to eat dinner, but the price was quite high. The meal was buffet style with nice options. The lodge was a pleasant surprise with it's sitting area with lots of games to help past the time.

Loved this quaint gem. Super friendly, Room was spacious for 3 and clean.

Very nice decor of common areas with antiques and interesting accessories. Room was basic but comfortable. We enjoyed buffet dinner and breakfast. Staff was friendly and welcoming.

We had a fantastic stay at Bru. If you have the chance to do so, we highly recommend booking a dinner reservation. The food was amazing. Staff is friendly and welcoming.

Serene and tucked away, Selfoss is still accessible as is the national Park. The staff was wonderful and engaging!! The facilities were eclectic and intimate yet comfortable and clean!!

The hotel have an unique decorations however was lack of service. If you don't buy the dinner you can't use the room because is for the guest who buy the dinner. We already dinner before check in and ask for coffee and hot chocolate and the staff tell us they can't sale us coffee or hot chocolate. The room need an renovation also the hall floor cracking like crazy and you feel like was inside your room. The breakfast offer is really limited. I think they can do it better.

Beautiful countryside hotel in the Golden Circle area, common spaces finely decorated, helpful staff for breakfast buffet. Need to drive a while from Reykjavik, but you’ll find yourself in a very quiet and relaxing place, close to the Geysir geothermal area. The only negative note was the bathroom, sink was too small with an unnecessary big wooden counter which would spill water on the shelves below…

We really enjoyed this accommodation. It had a fun, warm and inviting atmosphere. Staff was lovely and helpful. Dinner buffet was delicious. Would definitely return.
