Guest Reviews
- Roberto (2/5): Chiuso! - Arriviamo non senza difficolta' perche' la struttura e' in un posto... diciamo inusuale. Si tratta di una frazioncina isolata di campagna a 20 minuti dalla strada principale.
Arriviamo ed e' tutto chiuso. Ovviamente siamo un po' perplessi, ricontrolliamo la prenotazione e sembra tutto in regola. Nessun cartello, nessun avviso, nessun numero di telefono. Provo quello che si trova su internet e non risponde nessuno, una voce in islandese dice qualcosa di incomprensibile e la chiamata si chiude.
Ora, non sappiamo il motivo per cui la struttura fosse chiusa, Covid o scarsa clientela non importa, se il proprietario sa di dover tenere chiuso per un determinato periodo, non dovrebbe essere permesso fare le prenotazioni online! Soprattutto se si arriva in certi orari e poi si hanno poche possibilita' di trovare qualcos'altro di disponibile in zona! Voto: ZERO!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Mooie ruime en schone accomodatie. Check in was snel en probleemloos. Schone slaapzalen
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staf was really nice, attentive and always asking if everything was ok, I recommend.
- Beatrice (10/5): Clean and cozy hostel - The hostel is located in a small village near the coast, not far from the Ring Road (about 20 minutes by car). There are both private rooms and mixed dorms. As common areas there are a living room, a well-stocked kitchen and many bathrooms (all very clean!!). In all areas of the structure the rules to be respected are clearly and gently indicated and this helps to make simpler and more pleasant the coexistence. The guys who run the hostel are also kind and helpful, a really highly recommended place!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Kind staff, kids friendly environment, clean room, well euipped kitchen. All good! Highly recommended hostel!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - It was very clean. Checking in went well even though we were arriving late.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Property was very clean and comfortable. The staff are on site and were very helpful and courteous. The kitchen is fully stocked and there was plenty of room in the fridges for our food.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place with a big kitchen with all commodities, great rest area with games and books. Quiet place and perfect fir staying a couple of days.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - zeer nette accomodatie en goed bruikbare keuken.
Iets verder weg van de doorgaande weg. heerlijk rustig. maar in het plaatsje zelf kun je weinig/niets ondernemen.
Tip: neem eigen boodschappen mee ivm geen winkeltje in de buurt.
- Randall (10/5): - Everything was top notch... Aside from the pillows. The pillows were awful. Kids loved the place and the bunk beds. Kitchen was spotless. Kids playground was a bit in disrepair, but it wasnt a reason we booked here.
- Birgit (10/5): Wunderbares Hostel mit allen Annehmlichkeiten - Hier würde ich jederzeit wieder übernachten! Ruhige Lage, moderne Ausstattung, gute Betten, gut ausgestattete Küche, nette „Lounge“ mit chilliger Musik - alles bestens,
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Sparkling clean, spacious rooms, very comfortable beds and bedding. We even borrowed a needle and thread!
- chao (10/5): - Way better standard for hostel. Nice staff, rooms are quite new and clean, kitchen with all needed.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - L’ostello è molto semplice e un po fuori mano ma è un posto perfetto per fare una tappa lungo la strada 1 in Islanda.
- Sarah (10/5): - Just a great spot to get some sleep and see more of the country. Recommend. Great price. Decent location
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place, nice and clean. Would visit again. Away from the main road, quiet and fresh air.
- Anna (10/5): Прекрасный хостел - Супер-классный хостел с панорамной крышей! При удачной погоде можно отлично наблюдать северное сияние. Кухня огромная с новой мебелью и приборами, комнаты еще больше:) Много душевых. Очень приятное и уютное место.
- Yulia (10/5): Outstanding - Loved everything about this place maybe because we were the only ones there. it is located 15 mins from the main road route 1, nice bakery in the morning close by. Spacious room, tons of bathrooms and showers; the host was friendly and helped us plan our itinerary for next day. He gave us some great advice as far as what places to see and what places to skip. My favorite part of our stay were the duvets, so comfy and warm.
- Joy (10/5): - 員工可愛又熱情!廁所淋浴很多間且令人驚艷地乾淨!廚房很大,有兩座四爐火可以同時供兩組人馬煮飯!公共區域超級乾淨溫馨!相當令人驚艷的一間住宿!雖然必須從大馬路繞進來一小段路!但路好走且非常值得多花這13分鐘車程!
- Hendrik (10/5): - Sehr modernes und sauberes Hostel. Etwas abgelegen von der Ringstraße aber trotzdem empfehlenswert.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - A little of the track, but nice and clean.

- Haley (10/5): - Beautiful, clean, cozy, with a great location and fantastic/friendly staff. We loved the kitchen and the relaxing common area. The Bathrooms were really clean and private and had great waterfall showers. There was a nice Hotel a 10 min walk away with an amazing full dinner and breakfast buffet if you don’t want to cook in the hostel. Will definitely return!

- Verified traveler (10/5): All the basics with a friendly owner - Quiet spot in a small village a little off the main road. Very friendly owner and all the basic amenities. Just spent one night but were greeted and received a tour on arrival and got a few tips on departure. Hard to stay more than one night when so much more to see on route 1.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Esta muy bien y moderno, con cocina equipada
- Amanda (10/5): A quiet hostel off the beaten path - Located in a small town near the coast, the staff at this hostel were incredibly friendly and showed us around before leaving us to relax. The kitchen is quite large, making it easy to accommodate lots of travelers. Very clean, comfortable beds, good block out shades. Thank you so much!
- Sarah (8/5): Solo female traveller - This was a clean and quiet place to stay. The man at the front desk was very friendly and lent me a hair dryer. My only complaint is it is 15 minutes from the main road but worth the drive for the price.
- Steve (10/5): - Had a four night stay here and have to say was very impressed. The hostel was exceptionally clean the staff, Aurther and Oola was extremely accomodating and made our stay very comfortable. The beds was also very comfortable with great duvets.

- Bünyamin (10/5): Comfort top - Abgelegene gegend.
Super gastgeber
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect staying - Everything was perfect, very good staff, i recommend it.
- Janghee (10/5): 두번째 숙박!!!! - 아 너무 좋아서 또왔어요. 짱입니다.
- Janghee (10/5): 매우 적극 완전 추천!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 모든것이 완벽한 이곳 - 아. 기본적으로 공용욕실 공용주방.. 이런것들 싫어했는데. 하지만 여기는 완벽합니다.
정말 매우 좋아요. 정말 깨끗하고 구석구석 먼지가 없어요. 공용주방도 넓고 요리하기 편하고
김치도 담궈먹었는데 주방기구가 종류별로 참 많습니다. 배추도 절이고 양념도 뭍히고 불편함이 없었어요.
뜨거운물 정말 콸콸 잘나오고 난방이 잘되서 따뜻하게 잘잤어요
침대도 푹신하고 이불도 깨끗하고 참 좋습니다.
그리고 직원 올라!!!! 리셉셔니스트 올라 너무 친절해요 정말 또가고싶은 이유를 꼽으라면 올라를 꼽겠어요.
진짜 짱입니다. 후회없어요. 와이파이 빵빵 빠릅니다.
조금 그래도 단점을 적어보자면... 위치 정도? 처음에 약간 불안해 하면서 논밭을 가로질러갔었는데
메인도로에서 10분만 가면되서 그것도 별거아니에요.
참 이런표현 많이 안쓰는데 그냥 짱 좋아요.
