Amazing place for a one night stay. Quiet, clean, excellent amenities and kitchen. And the best part is that all shoes, jackets are kept out of hallways and rooms and there are lockers to store bags outside of rooms, keeping areas clean and uncluttered. Excellent kitchen for self-sufficient travellers.

I absolutely loved my stay at Fox Hostel. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Everything was clean and well cared for, and the beds were super comfortable - exactly what you need after a full day of exploring. The kitchen was amazing and fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals and connect with other travelers. I also met some truly wonderful people during my stay, which made the experience even more special.
One of the most magical parts of my time here was the Northern Lights. Just a short walk behind the hostel in the evening, I had the most incredible aurora experience - it truly felt surreal. If the skies are clear and the conditions align, this is such a beautiful and accessible spot to witness them.
I would highly recommend Fox Hostel to anyone traveling in the Vík area. It’s more than just a place to stay...it’s an experience. I would absolutely come back!! ✨

The rooms were clean and cozy. Very comfortable beds, and the way the bunks are designed it feels like you’re in your own private pod! Unfortunately, I did not catch the name of the owner, but he gave our group a warm welcome, telling stories of the property’s history and giving recommendations of things to do in the area. The kitchen was large with multiple cooking stations and plenty of seating (also very clean and up to date with all the necessary appliances, pots, pans, dishes etc.). Bathrooms were clean and modern. The whole property was gorgeous, very new building, peaceful, it was a truly restful atmosphere. The view from our window was beautiful and we saw northern lights from the property. About 30-40 min it es outside Vik it was a good midpoint spot for seeing more of the southwest and not go too far from Reykjavík. Would absolutely stay there again next time we’re in Iceland. One of the best hostels I have ever stayed in!

The staff were friendly, and the bed was comfortable and cozy. There were plenty of restrooms and showers, so it was very convenient to use. Everything was well maintained, clean, and both the hot and cold water pressure in the showers were excellent.
The kitchen on the second floor was also well equipped with enough appliances and utensils, so even when there were many people, it didn’t feel inconvenient. However, since many guests were grilling meat, the ventilation felt a bit weak at times.
The storage lockers seemed a bit limited, but it wasn’t a big issue since we kept larger items in our car. The location was perfect, the surroundings were beautiful, and I would love to stay here again.
