FURU Hostel & Café

The volunteers and guests were all so kind! I had such a great time. And the hostel is pretty new so clean and very well organized. Of course the scenery is incredible as well.

Personnels accueillant, espace commun sympa, des activités organisées.

De l’eau avec odeur bizarre.

Able to socialise with guest from other countries.

The toilet is dirty when we check in.

Buenas instalaciones, buena limpieza y buena zona. Muy recomendable por el precio.

A pesar de no tener baño privado, había varios baños compartidos que estaba genial y limpios. Además de que en la habitación tienes un lavabo para lavarte los dientes, manos cara, que la verdad que hacen un gran apaño. Así que no es una queja en realidad.

Full disclosure - I was here in very low season and was the only guest for the majority of my stay. The hostel is lovely, and the coziness was even more welcome in the dark winter days. Everything was clean and well organised, and the beds are comfortable. Bathrooms are large (could do with a small shelf in the shower to put your soap/shampoo/etc on when you're in there). Location is gorgeous, the sauna and icy cold plunge were perfect, and if the aurora borealis is up and the sky is clear the view is outstanding. The staff and volunteers are super friendly. This time of year it was a perfect spot to relax and do some of the short walks close by in the limited daylight hours.

I can see that it could get crowded and noisy in peak season, but this definitely wasn't a problem for me! The bus connections in winter are not great (heads up if travelling by bus) so just be aware of that.

L'atmosfera dell'ostello è accogliente e casereccia. Spazi comuni per ogni necessità, curati nei minimi dettagli. Guri, la proprietaria super disponibile a consigliare passeggiate e attività nell'isola, molto improntata sulle attività outdoor. Pulitissimo, anche nei bagni, confortevole girare scalzi per tutta la struttura. Location ottima anche per vedere l'aurora boreale (vicino al lago è buio). Torneremo.
