    There are not many bathrooms for all the guests and if you didn't have a shower at time there might be a long queue.

    The breakfast was excellent and the place was very beautiful. You can play with the dogs they have outside! And the staff is also very kind.

    I hope that the middle bathroom will be done with renovation soon. It would help since there are many rooms sharing bathrooms. But the one on our floor and downstairs were working well. :)

    The breakfast was fantastic! So many choices for the price we paid. I have to commend Barbara who was so generous in giving my new discovery- cowberry milk! Yum!

    The staff wasn’t there at all. i asked for a bottom bunk and didn’t get that. the people in my room snored loudly so I didn’t get much sleep at all. that isn’t the property’s fault of course. bring earplugs, though. there were not enough showers and bathrooms and they didn’t feel that clean. there were geese outside making noise during the night. i wish there was a bigger, warmer living room type area for travelers to gather in. all power went out at once. one person staying there did call the staff and they got it running again quickly but didn’t apologize or check on us at all. not having any staff there just doesn’t feel very welcoming.

    The house is very cute and cozy. It’s in a good location. The breakfast was included (this is rare) and really delicious! plenty of vegetarian options!

    The bedding while clean looked like it was well worn and in need of replacing.

    Had a nice, bed & breakfast feel to the place. I had one of the upstairs rooms. It was small but cozy. Slept very well and the included breakfast was good.

    The internal walls are a bit thin and you can hear other people move around so if you're a light sleeper, you could bring some ear plugs - but that's a minor part of the stay and my only bit I didn't enjoy!

    Great hostel, in a perfect spot for driving the Circle route/along the south coast. Food was fab, and they do waffles and homemade jams!

    It's a standard hostel, very loud and you probably won't get much sleep in the shared room, and you'll have to wait to use the bathrooms because there is only one on each floor.

    Breakfast was easily the highlight of the place. It was homemade and fantastic, with many specialty Icelandic foods. Staff were friendly and there are lots of animals around the hostel that give it a country feel. The hostel is easy enough to find, but you do have to go on a gravel road.

    Did not enjoy sharing one bathroom with 10+ people (the other was being renovated) and wasn’t provided with any towels. Also upon arrival, the only usable toilet was dirty and I cleaned it myself. Otherwise was very pleased!!!

    Loved the location! Loved the breakfast, was the absolute best breakfast on the trip. So glad to have tried so many homemade things:) The house was cute, staff was friendly and woke up to the sound of ducks quacking. It was nice.

    Breakfast might be the battle :-) Amount of places is smaller than amount of people in the hostel, so be prepared for queues especially if you want to try the waffles. In the room not so much power sockets, some spiders with flyings creatures and missing soundproofing. Only one bathroom available for all the rooms.

    Locations is great and the view that you can see out of the windows is awesome. Really good kitchen, great staff, three dogs that asking you to play and really tasty waffles :-) "Shoes off" policy, easy check-in.
