Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place was very clean, and it was easy to check-in. The kitchen was big and well furnished, but got a bit disappointed seeing there wasn’t cooking oil, salt or pepper. The bunk beds were comfortable enough, but the lack of privacy curtains was a bit off putting. I got to sleep in my room alone, so it’s not too bad, but I wouldn’t like having strangers come and go and just see me sleep. Finally, I feel like the blanket fee is a bit deceiving. While it is mentioned on Expedia, it’s like 1500 ISK, in person they charged me 3500 ISK (could’ve been 3000 ISK if I messaged them in advance..). Overall, I don’t think a fee make sense, just include the bedsheets in the price, it’s an hostel..

Rooms are very tiny and hard to even open large bags. Kitchen area was fine but there were just too many people using it at the same time. Pricing is higher compared to what they provide.

Pleasant stay.
Check in was smooth and the room and bed were comfortable. Cost to rent linens is much higher than listed on Hotels.com. It was approximately $18 for the linens.

This was a great location for where I was, but keep in mind that there isn't much around. My room was quiet, but the building was loud. The common areas were relatively clean. The staff friendly.

We emailed in advance and I was told that the hours of their reception was different than the hours posted on their door which was also different than on hotels.com. We moved our entire day around to arrive to find a notice posted on the door that said they were open 2 hours later than in the email I received from an employee. We stayed in a cabin that had nothing but beds but access to the hostel/ camping bathrooms/kitchen. In the first five minutes on the cabin, there were 2 large spiders- on my shoulder and on our bed. In nature, so spiders are reasonably understandable and the cabin was clean. We only used the hostel to brush our teeth before we left in the morning but it was overwhelming busy—- too small for the number of guests, and the bathrooms were filthy.

We had a cottage at the campsite, and our experience was not the best. Our cottage was quite far from the facilities and down a hill, which is probably fine under most conditions, but not pleasant when it's pouring rain and extremely windy. The heating was good, but there was some exposed wiring that gave my dad a very nasty electrical shock when he was trying to adjust it at night. The WiFI was only available at reception, and the reception building is tiny---basically a single room with maybe 8 seats. People were crowded inside and standing around, which also made the check-in process a bit off-putting with so many people hanging over your shoulder.

The room with two bunk-beds was very small for four people. It was hot, stuffy and poorly soundproofed. We spent three nights there and EVERY night there was quite a big fat spider on the ceiling. First night - spider has rappelled on the head of our son. He awoke, saw the spider above his face and awoke all of us. Second night - daughter saw spider rappelled from the ceiling on the side around 4am, awoke us and asked us to remove it; third night- we saw the spider around 10 pm and removed it. In summer time is it not getting dark, thus you can see everything everywhere. Our kids are not little, nevertheless they felt uncomfortable. It seems that the construction is poorly „sealed“ and has a lot of holes.

Ostello che necessiterebbe di una bella ristrutturazione. Struttura un po' lasciata andare. Ampia cucina, con disponibili numerosi utensili e due frigoriferi. Stanza piccola. Bagni in comune un po' datati e minimali. La zona purtroppo non offre molto altro, a prezzi ragionevoli.

Loved to sleep at the end of a 300 years old lava bed, my bed was comfy (I rented duvet set) and staff was friendly and very helpful. Not much privacy in the bathroom but for few nights is fine. Great cheap option for exploring the wonderful surroundings
