Stevenage Labour council leader, Sharon Taylor, said: "We were hoping we'd hold the seats... but to gain two as well is a great result for us.
"We've had a great campaign here, superbly organised... but also, people are telling us, on the doorstep, they are really fed up with the cost of living crisis and wanted to send a message back to Boris Johnson and the Tories."
Conservative group leader, Phil Bibby, said: "We're certainly disappointed losing a couple of seats but bearing in mind that last year we got up to 11, and the year before we were only seven, and when I started as a councillor we were only about three or four, I still think we've got a decent upward trend to take heart from."
Analysis
By Andy Holmes, BBC Three Counties Radio political reporter
No surprises really in the two Hertfordshire councils that declared overnight.
Broxbourne Council prides itself on being among the first to announce results and is also one of the safest Tory authorities in the country, being held by the party since it was formed in 1973.
They managed to hold on to all nine of the seats they were defending, so still have 26 of the 30 seats on the council.
Labour held on to the other to remain the official opposition, albeit with just three councillors.
Meanwhile, Stevenage has always been Labour-led, but four gains in 2021 might have given Conservatives some hope of threatening that status this year.
In the end though, 2022 saw the town turn an even darker shade of red, with Labour winning nine of the 13 seats, including taking back two wards from the Conservatives.
In Broxbourne, where a third of the seats were being contested, the Tories could not have lost control even if they had been defeated in each one.
The remaining seat was successfully defended by Labour.
A third of seats were being contested at Watford Borough Council, with the Liberal Democrats winning 10, gaining two from an independent and one from Labour, who retained two seats.
The Lib Dems are the biggest party with 27 seats overall, while Labour have nine.
In Watford, Liberal Democrat Peter Taylor has been re-elected as mayor, and said he was grateful to those who "put their trust in me".
