The cabin and showers were fine for the price, but there was only 1 stove and sink for all the guests to use, which meant long waits and jostling for the facilities to make meals. It was like the hunger games trying to use the stove to make dinner at night. Really need another stove and sink for a place that size.

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.

Not worth of money, cottage with no insulation

We lived in the cottage, the door is in a poor condition and can hardly be locked. The room has no insulation, even we stayed in summer, it was very cold with the electric heater on. You need to go to another building for shower and for the communal kitchen. Would not recommend, particularly in winter, not cheap as well for this standard

Unfortunately, the stay was not good for me. I was put in a room with roommates that made me uncomfortable and with their outdoor equipment taking over the whole room. So I reached out to the property management. They couldn't so much about it so I hung out at the living room couch and left early morning.

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

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 was your typical hostel. The private room was cozy and included with towels and sheets. There are only two bathrooms, which was challenging in the morning and many people were getting ready for their days. The showers are also communal and pretty basic. If you are looking for a more private stay, I would recommend the guesthouse. Overall, this worked out well for us as we only needed a place to sleep. The scenery outside the hostel was absolutely beautiful, and if we’d had more time, we would have explored.

Disappointing

The location is convenient, just off Route 1. We were staying in the main building. The room was tiny and the walls were very thin, although this is not uncommon in hostels/guesthouses in Iceland as far as we could see. The kitchen was simply terrible, lacking even the most basic supplies such as dish soap, let alone salt/pepper. The decor and fabric of the building were dated and it was clear that it had not been refurbished in a long time.

We stayed in small cottage. Be aware of the following: you have very small bedroom and very small entrance room, and the toilet with sink with cold water, without towels. The shower is in the main building. It is opened, no privacy at all. We did not find the mentioned "Rainfall showerhead". There is no wi-fi in the cottage (but stated in the amenities). Bottom line, we did not fill comfortable, but we would define this property as likely ok.
