It was a decent stay. We liked how clean the room was and the other guests were also quiet and respectful. The hostel is a little run-down but overall clean and safe.

The room was clean but very thin walls and we could hear the conversation from the room next to ours. Overall was a good one night stay on our road trip.

This hostel was good. Beds were comfy but the room was a bit small. The kitchen/dining area was nice but we could only find one bowl. Overally it was a good place to crash for the night with some nice views in the area

Stunning little hostel surrounded by beautiful nature. I booked almost 2 months before and got a great deal. Service was good, rooms were small but also great. One of the best place I stayed at during my entire trip through the Ring Road. The room felt comfy, clean, and had a built-in cushion bench next to the HUGE window in the room.

A great spot for a night. Our cottage was comfortable for 4 adults. No blackout curtains meant that I had to create my own. Towels are also not included in the price. Otherwise a stunning setting, which we enjoyed with a clear blue sky.

This was a great guesthouse right off the main Ring Road, with gorgeous views as with most of Iceland. We had a great room with 2 bunk beds to ourselves and there were nice showers, bathrooms, and a great kitchen and dining area. Our room even had its own sink and mirror which was nice. The Wi-Fi wasn’t great in our room but worked fine in the kitchen and dining area. Would definitely recommend this place!

Very close walk to the beach and Hvitserkur! They had no cooking salt or oil, which was a bit inconvenient. Decently clean as well.

James

Liked: Staff & service
The cabin and showers were fine for the price, but there was only 1 stove and sink for all the guests to use, which meant long waits and jostling for the facilities to make meals. It was like the hunger games trying to use the stove to make dinner at night. Really need another stove and sink for a place that size.

Pros - good wifi - close to attraction - clear check-in instructions - clean kitchen & big dining area - big living room with games - kitchen supplies (forks, bowls, plates, pots) - big shared fridge - nice view - comfortable beds Cons - no towel for showering - only two toilets for 20 people - no power in the morning and host didn't come and fix it - no power = no breakfast, no coffee, no hot water, can't charge any devices
