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

Nice little cabins and very clean and new eating area. Just what we needed for a night. Bring your own pillow if you don’t like old and lumpy.

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.

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.

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