It was great shelter from the storm outside. We are really grateful, we could have stayed in such a nice and cozy place.

It’s a cool looking creative place so I was looking forward to my stay. I am aware that for these prices you don’t have to expect chocolates on your pillow. But the minimum is that it’s clean and it wasn’t, especially the shower area. Also a lot of things were broken, the bedlight, the watertap, etc. And the wifi didn’t work. I was supposed to stay two nights but left after one because it was so uncomfortable.

This was one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at, very clean and cozy with very nice staff. We immediately felt at home and would come again anytime!

Coffee and tea are paid!! The toilet and shower are in one room, and there are only two for the whole hostel and it's not very clean!! So you have to wait and not be in a hurry if someone is taking a shower! The beds are not very comfortable. There is music that is way too loud until late at night. The kitchen could also be cleaner.

Only 2 bathroom cum showers that I could spot across the place so it could get tricky in busy times. However, it was never a problem for me and managed well.

I liked that it was one of the cheapest stays in Iceland. It was very accessible to places I wanted to cover in the Snaefellness peninsula. It was just 25mins from Kirkufell to hike and also just 30mins to the Snæfellsjökull national park too. The staff were very friendly, they've created a very communal atmosphere, they encouraged me to sing in the Karaoke nights.

The whole set up is like a flea market, or maybe I cannot appreciate the “art” vibe. The kitchen is too small for all the guests, the pots, pans, cutlery, plates, mugs are all mixed and match. Beside the kitchen are the cramped mixed dormitory. We went to the big hall to have dinner because we didn’t fit in the kitchen, and when somebody started to sing, they dimmed the lights on us. Not only that, they called out all other people there except us Asians and from South America. Never again will I set foot here!

Free Parking, nice small town, nice greetings upon arrival.

The owner, playing live music almost every night for the guests, is a real genius. Bob Dylan has a grandson in Iceland 🤩

Lack of a complimentary towel for a booked room, excessive price for a morning tea or coffee, excessive price for a 30 minute laundry wash (1500 Isk) and Clothes dryer 30 minutes (1500Isk)

The vibes, the friendly hosts, the welcome

Dirty floors in room. Noise, kitchen going, and music until 1:30am. Broken glass in the morning on my way to restroom. Beds ok.

Interesting

It is extremely overprized, and the beds are not confortables, we woke up with our back hurt.

I booked this through Booking.com, and it came up as having a private bathroom ... though upon arrival discovered that wasn't true. Upon arrival it took a long time to find someone that worked there, and when I did, he was sitting on a couch playing guitar, not paying any attention to the many people wandering in/ out. There was a lot of chaos and traffic, and then I learned there would be karaoke at 8:30. We were traveling with three generations, driving some long distances. Our group often tries to go to bed by 9, and then we are up again really early. We quickly determined that the thin walls, shared bathroom, kitchen, living areas, the traffic, lack of care for people coming and going, and karaoke was not going to allow a good nights rest for any of us. We ended up in search of a last-minute alternative accommodations, and paying for this as well.

One of a kind hostel. You won't regret it!

Coffee machine was broken. Cooking facilities very sparse for the amount of people staying at this place. Table tennis rackets broken.

The community room was lovely.

Réception cold. Yet q just a smile is enough

An incredible and atypical place, if you like art and the underground. calm and clean. we loved the atmosphere and the decoration. Some evenings with live music. Find out beforehand so as not to miss out.

I could not use the stay I paid for because I had a mini fog with me, so we just drove the whole Sbæfellsnes in one day which was okay because the weather sucked too!

Stayed in July 2024

The accomodation itself is a little basic, yet perfect for the given price

Would love to visit this little gem again once. Run by friendly locals. Can recommend to everyone who wants to get in contact with the culture and other open-minded travellers. Live music entertainment gave us an evening we will never forget.

The beds are hard, and I woke up in pain every day The people were rude and left the luggage open and all over the floor, so in the night it was very hard going to the toilet. And I couldn't sleep because of loud snoring, two nights out of three People also left the outdoors open through the night In the mornings, people didn't close the bedroom doors when leaving the room, so I couldn't sleep, I had to sleep after they left during the day Plus, people were so loud when going up in the morning, banging the cups and pans and dishes like they were paid for it, and because they didn't close the bedroom doors, they kept people, who didn't have to be up, awake, so rude

I liked the staff The kitchen was ok, but all the tables were made out of steel, so the noise in the kitchen was unbearable 💔 especially when people were drunk 🥴

Supermarkets/convenience stores are either in Olafsvik or Hellisandur, and weekend closing times are "tough". there's nothing else to go to in Rif, but the FREEZER takes care of it.

From the outside -a warehouse. From the inside: a great, funky, alternative place to go to, hang out, chill, play games and LISTEN TO MUSIC every night. Spent one night only there, but had the chance to meet, mix and migle with locals. If I ever come back to this area, a definite repeat! Food (snacks) and drinks available, too if you arrive late.

Nobody was working and no live music (problem with not enough employees and the singer was sick). Of course it can happen.

The place was very nice and clean. It was self-service experience because nobody was at check in or at the bar but they were able to help me to go in on the phone. Also I found the frozen pizza. I was so hungry!
