good opportunity to stay for one (or a few) nights, with as well a kitchen for self preparing meals at disposal it is impressive how well it seems to work sharing the common amenities such as kitchen and bathrooms with people from everywhere, having the only commonality to stay shortly in this hostel

6/10 Good

Okay. Place was very clean, amenities were good to great, location is nice. But dear Lord the doors. All the room doors have door closers that are set to slam the living daylights out of the door in the last 6 inches of the swing, so when people enter or exit their rooms (which happens about 5 times a minute) there is the equivalent of a sonic boom that reverberates through the entire hostel. It actually got so bad it became comical. I don’t know if it’s an oversight or some form of passive aggression to ensure guests leave smartly, but in the context of a place where the chief activity is sleep, one wonders how this could have been overlooked.

6/10 Good

An okay automated check-in/check out hostel near Skogafoss. Compared to other guesthouses and hostels it feels quite a bit pricey and doesn't mean a lot in terms of location as both Selfoss and other nearby regions serve as good hotspots. The room was good in terms of cleaning, however, there were no sockets at all for electricity apart from a USB-A + C combo. This is quite bad for several reasons as it restricts devices any travelers may use, and also medical equipment. There was also a big issue with the sounds of the place, specifically the doors, were despite a mechanism being in place it slams every single door, of every tenant, hard against the walls echoing across the entire level you sleep on. Multiply this with the amount of guests and it is absolutely bonkers, as there is a huge slam every other minute, this is the biggest complaint I have, and by far the worst noise generator across Iceland stays, and severly affects the experience both during day time, but especially during nights/sleep. Breakfeast is not included. And can be bought for an extra cost, which we skipped due to the already higher price of stay. There is also a kitchen at the bottom floor were tenants can cook which seemed to have what's required. Showers were shared in closed cabins and were good, there was also toilets enough for the tenants.

I've never stayed in hostels before but I really enjoyed our stay here. The facilities were great, very nice kitchen area, nice shared bathroom and good room and bed. No complaints. We had supper watching the falls.

I have never stayed in a Hostel before. I had to adjust my mind to a unisex shower room. But this place was very very clean and comfortable.

It is clean. But no staff is on site and we did not receive the code to open the doors. Some local kids/travelers helped us
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We booked a room mistakenly one day late than we needed. When I found it out one day before our check in time, we were not able to make the change because it passed the free cancellation deadline. So we booked another room. Upon our arrival, the staff found our situation and agreed to give full refund for the mistakenly booked room without our asking. He was super nice and helpful. The room and bathroom are very clean. We appreciated it truly.
