    This is a cosy country home. The interior is truly remarkable with the colorful interior, wooden floor and original furniture. And everywhere are books and magazines for guests to take a moment to flick through and read. We also enjoyed the restaurant and the friendly staff. They know exactly when to be your friend chatting about the best of Iceland when to take orders or help with bags, and when to leave guests alone. This makes the stay very relaxing.

    The hostel is a little far from the next town, but is very serene, located in the Berunes farm. You wake up to a beautiful and relaxing view of the mountain and a cove of water. The hostel is clean, the room is small but cozy, the beds are comfortable with clean white linens and comforter. The kitchen is also clean, organized and well equipped.

    Nothing at all

    The view over the fjord from our cabin was simply extraordinary. The cabin was cosy, clean and well equipped, with comfortable beds. Staff was great. We had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. Both were very good. The dinner menu was limited to 3 starters, 3 main courses and 2 desserts, which we understand because everything was home made and fresh.

    One of the nicest places we have visited during our Iceland trip. The view from our little room was amazing, a really wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend to enjoy a dinner here, too. It has been the best food we had during our trip. The hosts are very sweet and welcoming and our experience at this hostel has been excellent.

    We were a little shocked when we walked into our place with a small and outdated kitchen but learned of a much nicer kitchen we were able to use in a different facility a short walk away! we ended up cooking both dinner and breakfast there and they had just about everything you could need! there were sheep not to far away and great scenery.

    The bathroom is very small and there was hardly any room on the tiolet, at least in the room we stayed in. Slightly unpleasant smell in the room.

    You are directly in the nature, very nice location. The breakfast buffet is small but delicious. Nice helpful staff.

    Gorgeous scenery at the end of the fjord, very peaceful and quiet. Great comfortable space for sleeping and cooking. Family run staff absolutely great too, very responsive when a problem came up.
