Guest Reviews
- PALOMA (5/5): Trop cher pour la qualité de la prestation - Plusieurs camping car on pu venir utiliser les cuisines et la salle à manger. Ils ont pris toute la place, ils ont pris toute la vaisselle, ils sont restés très longtemps à tables en étant très bruyant et nous ont empêché l’accès aux cuisines assez longtemps.
- Danielle (10/5): -
- Manuela (1/5): - Sto ancora aspettando una risposta per la mia richiesta di cancellazione, non ho potuto godere del soggiorno.
- yuta (8/5): -
- Isabelle (9/5): Dortoir bien placé - Dortoir propre et bien conçu.
L’endroit est propre et fonctionnel. Bien placé pour certains spots.
Personnel sympathique et agréable Store non occultant qui laisse passer la lumière si vous aimez dormir dans le noir.
- Saku (9/5): Great for a night’s sleep - Good basic place to stay. Nothing to complain about.
- Athyna (9/5): -
- Gisela (9/5): Bon hotel però molt curt de serveis - Personal amable Has de pagar a part pels llençols, tovallola, manta i coixí.

- Halldór (5/5): - Staðsetning er alveg ágæt, allt virkaði snyrtilegt en er orðið ansi lúið. Stólar í matsal orðnir tæpir og lélegir sumir.
Dýnur í rúmum ansi þunnar og lélegar,
- Annalisa (8/5): - Camera piccola ma pulita, docce ok, cucina e area comune spaziosa e pulita! Bagni così così
- Rhiannon (8/5): Great share kitchen, functional otherwise and pretty expensive for what you get - The location was lovely (close to everything) and the kitchen has super well stocked (commercial kitchen) with a big shared eating area that was filled with people hanging out, playing cards, etc. the staff was friendly and helpful. Expensive for what you get for sure.

- Kristýna (7/5): - Umístění hostelu bylo klíčové pro nadcházející výlety. / The location was crucial for our next trips. Pokoj byl pro 4 poměrně malý. / The room was quiet small for 4 people.
- mathias (10/5): - Bon emplacement, j'étais le seul au dortoir (car on est en hiver) donc on m'a proposé gratuitement de prendre une chambre d'hôtel à la place.
La literie était très confortable
- Alizée (10/5): Très bien - Je suis venue au Hild hostel en hiver. Quasi personne. J'étais la seule personne dans mon dortoir.
Lieu spacieux
Équipements propres et fonctionnels. Literie confortable. Pas de couverts. Il a fallu attendre 48h00 avant que le personnel n'en ramène....
Drap non fournis
- Henklt01 (9/5): A cozy, quiet stay. - This place made for a nice stay in Myvatn right next to everything. Clean facilities and a well-equipped kitchen. I saw the northern lights, though the KP was low. I should have read the booking more closely. I had to pay extra for linens. Still a great deal!

- MªCarmen (5/5): Camas cómodas pero servicios mejorables - Las camas son muy cómodas. La cocina y cuartos de baño estaban limpios. Las habitaciones para 4 se quedan totalmente minúsculas para llevar equipaje. Las duchas de los hombres estaban con las puertas rotas. En el baño de mujeres el agua olía y sabía a azufre (imposible lavarse los dientes). En nuestro caso por alquilar una habitación familiar estaba incluido, pero avisamos de que para dormir con almohada y un nórdico tendréis que pagar un extra.
Al igual que en toda Islandia, aunque yo lo sigo dejando como algo negativo, el check in es demasiado tarde.
- Yuet Thoe (8/5): I personally like the bedroom facilities and highly recommended for other people. - It’s a quiet place and near to the lagoon. Actually all good but not understanding we need to bring our bed cover from our country from few thousand miles away. :(
- 柏瑄 (8/5): - 他的廚房空間超讚 走路聲很明顯
- Xuan (10/5): - It’s beyond our expectation
- Yanina Caroline (8/5): -
- Luigi (10/5): Ottimo soggiorno - Posto molto bello e in posizione strategica, ottimo per avvistare l’autore boreale, spazi comuni puliti e bagni puliti. Struttura molto calda e accogliente, prezzi in linea con la costosa Islanda. Ho avuto la fortuna di aver prenotato l’ostello e di essere capitato da solo in stanza.
- Charline (8/5): -
- Marek (8/5): We lacked out and two of us had no company in four bed room for all four nights in mid September. - Helpful staff. Tiny for the size of the crowd, but very well equipped kitchen. It shows that no one want to invest too much on the recent lava field.
- Michele (9/5): - Hlid Hostel è collocato in una posizione strategicamente perfetta ed è davvero ben organizzato Usare acqua geotermale per la doccia può anche andar bene ma doverla usare anche per lavare piatti e stoviglie (a meno che non si voglia utilizzare acqua fredda) non mi sembra un punto a favore.
- Valentinas (8/5): -
- Stefanie (8/5): - Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und auch gut ausgestattet. Es ist alles wie beschrieben, man kann mit einem Schlafsack dort gut schlafen. Die Küche ist ebenfalls gut ausgestattet und es gibt einen schönen Aufenthaltsraum, der nicht direkt neben dem Zimmer liegt. Die Lage ist natürlich top :) Leider war am Tag meiner Übernachtung der gesamte linke Flur mit Italienern gebucht, die nachts spät ins Bett gingen und morgen früh aufstanden. Sie unterhielten sich dabei aber so, als hätten sie die Unterkunft für sich gemietet und sangen, scherzte und lachten in den Fluren und Zimmern. 5 1/2 Stunden Schlaf sind mir einfach zu wenig 😴 es wäre schön, wenn jemand da wäre, der die Ruhezeiten ab 22 Uhr kurz abprüft.
- TAKAYUKI (8/5): いいよここ - 口コミで酷い書かれようでしたが
要は布団とタオルが別料金というのが気に食わないんでしょう
設備もスタッフも良かったですよ
あとは夜中まで食堂で騒いでた人たちはホステルに文句を言うべきではないかな
- Rainer (7/5): Eine saubere Unterkunft mit guter Koch und Aufenthaltsgelegenheit - Die Unterkunft war gut, es gibt eine gut ausgestattete Küche, saubere Bäder/WC.
Mein vierer Zimmer war zum Glück nur 50% belegt. Ein klareren Hinweis dass die Rezeption nicht am Haus sondern am campground ist (vielleicht habe ich es übersehen)

- FREDERIC (9/5): - Dormi en dortoir , 4 places, mais nous étions 2 amis et un dortoir pour nous seul...
Superbe cuisine, il y a tout ce qu'il faut.
Espace dîner grand et spacieux
Tout près du lac Mytvan, facile d'accès Rien
- Tobias (4/5): - Guter Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen Zimmer extrem klein und in die Jahre gekommen. Nur 4 Toiletten für mehr als 40 Leute.
Für das was diese Unterkunft kostet absolut unterirdisch.
Nicht zu empfehlen.
- Shinyi (9/5): -
- Luis Guillermo (10/5): - Bien en general
- graf (7/5): - Lage ist super, Küche gut ausgestattet, Zimmer funktional Zimmer mit wenig Platz, Sauberkeit der Toiletten okay
- Stefanie (7/5): -
- Barak (3/5): - For a camping site the facilities are nice. It's not a bad place, and if you are looking for camping style accommodation it is even quite nice. But the value for money is the worst we have encountered not only in Iceland but anywhere in the world!
You get a bare-bones room that is not much bigger than a closet, with 2 bunk beds, and for that, you pay over 300 USD a night!!
- Bettina (10/5): - Das Hostel liegt direkt am See Myvatn und ist perfekt für einen Tagestrip um den See und die direkt in der Umgebung liegenden Sehenwürdigkeiten (z.B. Krafla, Hverir etc.). Gemeinschafts und Küchenräüme sind gut ausgestattet.
- Luca (10/5): -
- Nathalie (8/5): Très bien pour un hébergement d'étape - Même en étant simple c'est fonctionnel et propre et surtout conforme au descriptif donc pas de surprise
- Nicole (7/5): Convenient and comfortable enough. - Great location right next to a lava field. Decent kitchen and dining area. Hard to find reception. The directions should be to the reception not the actual building you stay in. We weren’t the only ones confused as to where to get the key. Rooms were hot. Ours right next to the kitchen was quite noisy.
- Shu Fen (8/5): -
- davixyz (7/5): - La ubicació. La cuina i el menjador. Habitacions massa petites. Si vas de pas, ok, però més d'una nit, potser no és còmode. Pocs lavabos per a tantes habitacions.
- Gaia (8/5): -
- Michaela (6/5): Rather basic experience - Dinning room view in lava fields was cozy Poor kitchen equipment. No small cereal bowls, no sponges to wash up, only 2 kitchen towels for everybody, thus no possibility to clean the kitchen. Very small family room.
- Elise (10/5): - Accueil efficace, propre et cuisine collective bien équipée
- Martina (6/5): - Posizione piuttosto buona.
Cucina ben attrezzata. Camere piccine, in 4 si sta stretti.
Bagni e docce sporche.
- SM95 (9/5): -
- Johana (9/5): -
- Martina (7/5): - Gut ausgerüstete Gemeinschaftsküche mit schönem Essbereich, saubere Duschen, sehr freundliche Rezeptions-Mitarbeiterinnen, bequeme Matratzen. Günstig, schön gelegen so nah am Mývatn-See.
Einfach ausgestattete Zimmer mit Regalen, Kleiderhaken und Hockern. Es war sehr hellhörig und zugig im Haus. Der Wind hat immer an den Zimmertüren gerüttelt, was so klang als wolle jemand ins Zimmer einbrechen. Bis ich das dem Wind zugeordnet habe, war ich etwas in Sorge. Das hat mich dann leider auch öfters geweckt.
Die Toiletten könnten mal ein Update vertragen. Waren sauber und in Ordnung aber etwas "ältlich" 😊
- LidiaGara (9/5): Mejor de lo que esperaba - La cocina, las vistas para desayunar, las instalaciones y la limpieza. Deberían mejorar la señalización de la recepción en lo que es el albergue porque nos costó encontrarla. La calefacción debería poder regularse, llegamos tarde y estaba apagada.
- Ana (8/5): - Excelente localização e com uma cozinha partilhada excelente

- valeria (3/5): - Mi è piaciuta la posizione e la gentilezza dello staff. Pessimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. La stanza era fredda, non riscaldata. La pulizia dei bagni non era buona.
- Cristini (6/5): - Cucina top, bagni e docce ci stavano Pareti di carta, si sentiva tutto, nessun controllo dell'area comune dove hanno fatto un casino allucinante fino a tarda notte italiani e spagnoli. L'area comune è messa a metà tra le camerate quindi ovunque fossimo si sentiva tutto
- Sherry (5/5): -
- Katarina (8/5): I recommend - The kitchen is really big and good equipped. Location is good, near Myvatn lake. Rooms are really small. We paid for 5 people but got only 4 linens - if we wanted one more we would need to pay 3500ISK and i don’t really understand why.
- Elena Capetti (8/5): - Camera quadrupla con letti a castello molto pulita e confortevole. Zona comune ampia con grandi tavoli e con una bella vista sui campi di lava. Cucina grande e ben attrezzata.
- Tony (1/5): DO NOT PAY FOR LAUNDRY SERVICE!! clothes will come back damp and we even have clothes get stained!! - N/a Laundry service
Pay for linens
- Claudio (1/5): Notte disastrosa a Hild Hostel - L’unica nota positiva è il luogo, il lago Mývatn è un bel posto La struttura si presenta da un punto di vista estetico piuttosto decadente, ma dal mio punto di vista le problematiche più gravi sono state:
1) la camera era letteralmente un forno, nonostante la finestra aperta a vasistas per tutta la notte, è stato quasi impossibile dormire
2) la struttura dispone di 2 WC uomini + 2 WC donne. La struttura ospitava circa circa 40 persone, per cui 1 WC ogni 10 persone se uomini e donne in uguale numero. Al mattino nell’ora di punta è stato necessario fare la fila per utilizzare il bagno per i necessari bisogni fisiologici, col serio rischio di dover andare all’aria aperta.
avevo prenotato 2 notti, ma dopo la prima notte così negativa, ho deciso di disdire la seconda, chiedendo rimborso su Booking e prenotando contestualmente un’altra struttura in altra località. Mi reco alla reception per consegnare le chiavi, spiegando la situazione alla giovane impiegata che mi dice che sono cose di cui si occupa il suo capo.
Scrivo una mail, riepilogando i fatti, e la risposta del responsabile è stata letteralmente:
“I’m really sorry to hear this, of course this kind of accommodation don't fit for everybody”
Chiaramente nessun rimborso, ma il problema non ovviamente nella cifra economica di poco conto, ma più che altro nella completa mancanza di rispetto verso le esigenze di un cliente insoddisfatto, liquidato con una frase molto discutibile come quella riportata qua sopra. È ovvio che prenotando tale struttura non mi ricercassi una soluzione stellata, ma almeno di poter dormire ed avere accesso ai servizi di prima necessità.
- Elodie (6/5): - L’emplacement au cœur de Myvatan, avec la salle de restauration sur le champ de lave.
Permet d’être tot sur place sur les lieux de visites avant les foules. Les groupes qui font la fête jusqu'à 1h du matin dans la salle de restauration et empêchent les autres de dormir même avec des boulles quies. Très mal insonorisé. On n’entend les pas dans le couloir.
Cher pour la prestation
- Markéta (8/5): -
- Andrés (5/5): un horror por lo que pagamos - Lo único que me gusto fue la ubicación, esta muy bien situado para hacer la route one, ademas tiene bastantes atracciones a su alrededor Teníamos una habitación familiar para cuatro personas, el espacio era justo no entraban las maletas y no te podias mover. Nuestra habitación se encontraba al lado de la cocina y habia gente hasta altas horas de la noche cocinando, de sobremesa o jugando a juegos de mesa... al dia siguiente te despertaban los que madrugaban mucho. un horror....
- Séverine (6/5): - Extrêmement bruyant.
Si quelqu'un marche dans le couloir, toute la chambre tremble...
- jaronworm (9/5): -
- Dmitry (8/5): Good option espetially if you are traveling alone and without car. Location is reachable about 20 mins walk from 56 bus - Price-value ratio, very welcoming and pleasant staff at reception Check in time
- Lisa (9/5): - Letti comodi. Ampia e fornita la cucina.
- Sofia (8/5): Ottima tappa per la ring road! - La cucina super attrezzata e la zona dei tavoli dove mangiare molto grande. Da curare meglio la pulizia dei bagni
- DianaS (7/5): Ci si adatta - Camera quadrupla con letti a castello, nella norma per un ostello. Cucina grande e ben attrezzata. Zona comune con grandi tavolate per mangiare. Solo due bagni in tutta la struttura, letti non comodissimi. Ma essendo un ostello ci si può adattare
- Martin (9/5): - Super
- Lisa (9/5): - Cucina ben attrezzata. Letti comodi.
- Jaromir (9/5): -
- Philippe (8/5): - L'emplacement et l’atmosphère Avoir dans notre dortoir quelqu'un qui ne faisait pas partie de notre groupe
