• T78 (10/5): Lieu exceptionnel - Le Midgar Base Camp est un lieu exceptionnel que je recommande fortement. Le personnel est adorable et extrêmement bienveillant. La chambre est très bien équipée, la salle de bain aussi. Nous avons adoré le bar, la restauration et le SPA.
• Nicolas (10/5): - El sauna y hot tub. El espíritu del Hostel en general y las buenas instalaciones
• Kathryn (9/5): We love Midgard Base Camp! The staff are exceptional. - Staff is awesome and were so warm, welcoming, and kind- especially in the face of terrible weather! Location is a bit out there.
• Samuel (9/5): Bonne adresse , sympa et moderne - Convivialité et concept moderne, bonne emplacement, resto sympa , hot spot et sauna Chambres un peu sommaires pour le prix
• Loris (9/5): -
• Lucia (7/5): pensavo meglio - il bagno in comune molto pulito la sauna la colazione buona la camera troppo basic, non sono presenti armadi, comodini o mensole per appoggiare i vestiti. Solo un puff. la vasca idromassaggio non faceva idromassaggio e inoltre l'acqua non era affatto calda
• Kristína (9/5): -
• BA (8/5): Pleasant and cosy stay - They maintain the place very well and like their unlimited hot tea, coffee and hot chocolate service. Food is a bit expensive for a sole traveler (especially for a student). But there is a conveniene store nearby that you can buy whatever you want.
• Callum (9/5): -
• Raffael (10/5): - Perfekt. Tolles Restaurant, bequeme Betten und sogar noch Sauna und Whirlpool auf dem Dach. Zusätzlich auch sehr viel Stauraum unter dem Bett.
• Ashley (10/5): The best place to stay with helpful staff and the best coffee! - This was our favourite place we stayed on our trip. The staff were friendly and helpful. The complimentary coffee and tea was also a highlight. They had lots of showers and bathrooms which were clean. The sauna and hot tub were unreal with the amazing views of the mountains which definitely made this a highlight of our trip. We ate dinner at their restaurant and had a delicious burger. They had a comfortable common room and a wall full of sticky notes of other travellers. The 6 bedroom dorm room dorm room was very comfortable with a curtain pulled across and storage for our luggage. Absolutely nothing!
• Ornella (10/5): -
• ilCarlo (9/5): - The great value for the price. The common rooms have 6 beds, well separated and comfortable. In the common area they provide you anything you could need and a hot tub and a sauna too Nothing

• damenma (9/5): Auroras espectaculares desde el jacuzzi - Lo q más nos gustó fue poder ver la aurora desde el jacuzzi 😎. Cómo puntos a favor también la buena ubicación. Cerca hay un supermercado, una tienda de alcohol y gasolinera. Las habitaciones son bastante básicas.
• Francesca (8/5): - La pulizia, l'accoglienza La cucina era poco attrezzata e non c'erano abbastanza appoggi, sia in camera che nei bagni
• Michael (9/5): -
• yilun (7/5): -
• Lars (10/5): -
• Juan Manuel (8/5): - Cenamos allí y estaba todo muy bueno. Vimos auroras desde la terraza gracias a que tienen una aplicación con cámara en tiempo real muy buena. Tienen cocina con todo lo necesario para calentar comida o preparar algo sencillo Nada

• Öztürk (10/5): -
• Marie-France (10/5): - L'accueil est extraordinaire: merci à Gina pour sa bonne humeur et son sourire. Le dîner était fameux et la chambre propre,tout comme les douches et les toilettes (et le savon sent bon!). La literie est de très bonne qualité. Le jacuzzi à l'extérieur est une vraie surprise😊 l'espace détente avec des sièges balançoires est aussi très très sympathique. On peut disposer d'une cuisine équipée pour préparer un repas. Cet endroit est à recommander chaudement à tous, voyageurs solos, couples, familles. Encore merci à Gina et à toute son équipe 🥰 Nous reviendrons vous voir😊

• Graziano (10/5): - Ottimo in tutto come sempre. Posizione eccellente per visitare il centro sud dell'Islanda. Alla reception grande competenza nel consigliarmi bei percorsi da trek invernale, degni dei nostri rifugi alpini. I letti pur essendo in camera comune hanno privacy grazie al sistema di tendine. Posizione poco di charme in un'area di periferia industriale. In compenso non c'è traffico, c'è un enorme parcheggio gratuito si sta tranquillissimi. Hvolsvollur è quasi impossibile da pronunciare 😀

• Letizia (9/5): -
• Fabienne (9/5): -
• Rachel (9/5): Séjour à Midgard - La propreté, la décoration et l'originalité du lieu, les équipements de ne pas savoir qu'il y avait une cuisine, les bruits de pas au-dessus de la chambre
• jenovefa (8/5): - L’espace partagé est très chaleureux et agréable, le dîner excellent. Chambres simples mais efficaces!
• Paraskevi (10/5): - Τόσο ευγενική η Gina!! Μας περίμενε, μας τακτοποίησε, τόσο ευχάριστη!! Κ ο χώρος πολύ όμορφος, καθαρός και περιποιημένος!! Το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα!!
• Jessica (9/5): the people there have such good energy! - We got stranded at basecamp due to the weather alarm/storm in early april. We where lucky we did. Especially the people working there made our stay very, very, very pleasant. Great food in the restaurant as well, nice breakfast. We recommend staying in this place.

• Marat K. (9/5): - Потрясающий хостел, с уютной и просторной зоной отдыха, бесплатной сауной и купелью на крыше. Персонал очень отзывчивый - помогли справиться с мокрой одеждой и всё просушили. Всё продуманно для комфортного проживания, спасибо 🤗 Ощущался небольшой запах в номере, что предсказуемо для хостела. Нет плиты на кухне
• Elyse P. (10/5): Loved our stay - Everything! Friendly staff, cool vibe, clean amenities, comfortable bunks. Nothing. It was all great.
• Lilith (10/5): -
• K.Anka (8/5): Dobry hostel - Mieszkaliśmy w pokojach czteroosobowych. Było w nich przestrzennie i wygodnie. Oceniając nie należy zapominać, że to hostel, więc trzeba mieć trochę inne podejście niż do hoteli. Obsługa bardzo miła, swobodnie można się porozumieć po polsku, bo spora część zespołu to nasi :-). Można zjeść na miejscu niezłą kolację. Śniadania też w porządku.
• Shaz (10/5): Perfect location, comfy beds, great atmosphere - We were a big group of 17 over excited adults but the hospitality was fantastic! The whole place is cosy with a great menu selection. The staff were friendly with a great sense of humour too Nothing it was exceptional
• Hirokazu (9/5): アイスランド初日にぴったり！ - 簡易サウナに入れてよかった。朝食も美味しい。スタッフも気持ちの良い挨拶だった！
• mixo (10/5): - Supper nice hosts and nice location
• Els (10/5): - Fabulous to stay with teenagers. Great public pool with fitnesd, open air pool, jaccuzi and sauna. Was great after a long day. Staff was so nice in getting some way to stream the Irish soccer match. Lovrly bubbly staff. Coffee and tea all day for everyone. Great base to discover the south. Breakfast nothing special for what you pay but handy option for our mixed group and fed our hungry teenagers.
• paola (9/5): - Personale molto disponibile, camera familiare molto accogliente, fornito di tanti servizi (asciugascarpe, lavanderia). Bellissima la vasca calda sul tetto! Cucina comune un po' piccola e dotata solo di microonde.
• Spin (10/5): - Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt im Midgard Base Camp. Trotz eines schweren Schneesturms hat alles super geklappt. Das Personal war außergewöhnlich freundlich, hilfsbereit und hat uns in der Wetterlage toll unterstützt. Die Ausstattung ist modern, durchdacht und sehr gemütlich – man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Die Matratzen hätten weicher und dicker sein können.
• Murray (9/5): Recommended hostel - Brilliant value for money. Staff are friendly and helpful. Has much much more to offer than a typical hostel. Dormitories and shared showers but place was very clean and tidy. Bar, hot tub, communal kitchen and/or restaurant. Microwaves, utensils, sink, fridges etc in the communal kitchen - but only thing possibly missing, a hot plate for cooking???
• Tanja (7/5): Schönes Hostel mit kleiner Küche - Unterkunft war gut und sauber mit nettem Personal
• Carmen (10/5): Lugar mágico. - Es un alojamiento excepcional que nos hace estar como en casa. Gina es genial, excepcional y la mejor. Te queremos.

• Cartaya (10/5): Mágico - El alojamiento estaba bastante bien, estaba muy limpio todo, y las camas eran cómodas, tenías cajones con las mantas de tu cama y ahí mismo podías guardar tu mochila y poner un candado, pudimos disfrutar del jacuzzi, totalmente gratuito con horario hasta las 22:00, el agua estaba bastante bien y las vistas eran un espectáculo, nuestra segunda noche en Islandia y aquí fue donde vimos las auroras, y se veían perfectas, recordaremos siempre este lugar. Faltaba cocinilla, pero bueno habían 3 microondas al menos.
• Mirjam (9/5): - Erg vriendelijk personeel, superschoon, hottub op het dak en sauna zijn bijkomstigheid. Relaxte sfeer. Restaurant aanwezig, maar ook ee kleine keuken (zonder gaspitje) om zelf wat eten/ontbijten. Iets gehorig.
• Nicole (9/5): - Staff were very friendly and there was free coffee and tea for guests. We had bad weather, and they told us we could check out of our rooms but hang out in the common area to wait for the weather to pass. The common are was very cozy and inviting. The hot tub on the roof was quite nice. The kitchen was rather small and didn't have a stove- there were microwaves and a refrigerator, however.
• 熊貓闖天下 (8/5): 我們於 2026 年 2 月 21 日至 2 月 22 日入住 Midgard 酒店。飯店的停車空間相當寬敞，抵達時櫃檯人員也非常親切，詳細介紹各樓層設施的使用方式。 房間整體溫暖舒適，雖然空間稍微 - 停車空間寬敞，抵達時櫃檯人員親切且詳細介紹各樓層設施。房間溫暖舒適，雖然稍微偏小，但過夜完全足夠。sauna 與熱水池體驗不錯，熱水池旁有玻璃帷幕可以擋風，還能欣賞星空甚至極光，整體氛圍很加分。 廚房空間較小，容易在尖峰時段出現擁擠情況。雖然有三台微波爐與充足餐具，但沒有電磁爐可以使用。另在極冷天氣下，熱水池的水溫感受上不算特別熱。

• Vanessa (10/5): Super stop avc bain chaud! Je recommandes!! - Coup de cœur jusqu’a présent! Le personnel est super sympa, petit bar cosy et un bon resto. Le plus du lieu est clairement le bain chaud et sauna sur le rooftop. Tout est fait pour accomoder un maximum de personnes. Une cuisine est à dispo si on veut se faire à maison, il ya de quoi sécher nos vêtements humides, enfin bref vraiment top!!
• Maria Grazia (9/5): - Super gentili e disponibili Siamo arrivati tardi e partiti presto ma lo staff ci ha fatto vedere sauna e bagno turco Decisamente accogliente
