Overall Ratings & Reviews Skogar Hostel

We enjoyed Skogar hostel! We arrived late after a hike and left early before a long commute to another glacier hike. The staff member checking us in was very friendly, the beds were more comfortable than we anticipated, and the kitchen was well equipped. There was an issue with one of the showers not properly functioning (no hot water and the faucet was wonky), but the other two of us showered fine. It is noteworthy that guests must strip their own linen in the morning and put them into laundry bins - which we were fine with. Overall, a good stay for 3 women travelling who booked a room with a bunk bed and single bed. Not certain it the price was aligned with value, but we are only three nights into our adventure.

Clean room, perfect location and well-equipped kitchen, I enjoyed the stay at the hostel.

The hostel room a bit to small for 3 pax.

Location is amazing. Just in front of waterfall. Also good location to see Aurora. Would definitely recommend.

Great location, next to tourist waterfall and start of long-distance hiking trail. Hotel, restaurant and hostel all in the same complex. Helpful staff at check-in. Good facilities in hostel - bathrooms, kitchen and dining areas. There's not really a proper lounge despite that being suggested in the property description - just a couple of armchairs in a corridor with a TV fixed to the wall. Unfortunately the washing machine was broken during my stay. No location facilities in the village, like a grocery shop; the nearest is more than 20km away.

Location is amazing! I would’ve liked a small mirror in the shower stall

Room was very dirty like brown streaks underneath the mattress. The sheets were not really that clean and the floors were super sticky in places. The cost was not so expensive so it’s alright if you need a cheap place to stay.

Great lication and big kitchen. The only problem is that they do not provide towels.

The bed was comfortable and location was good. We didn’t like the noise, especially from the slamming kitchen door or temperature of the room. Very hot, no screens on windows.

Loved the location - right beside the falls, restaurant on site, and fully equipped kitchen, 4 showers, and laundry facilities. The rooms themselves were small and the bedding not terribly comfy, but happy there was a sink. I'd recommend adding some hooks/shelving so people can change up/store a few things to give them more space in the room. Night Lights would also be helpful as the hallway between corridors got quite dark and made the journey to the bathroom in the middle of the night quite spooky.

Great place to stay before doing the fimmvörðuháls hike. Nice kitchen and shower. They have a decent breakfast too, but it is kind of expensive.

We went to this hostel and were unable to stay the night we originally booked. We talked to the owner who said he would refund the amount after hotels.com contacted. However, when hotels.com contacted the owner they refused to provide a refund even though we were told the day before they would.

Great location, very clean and excellent kitchen. Nice walks from here

It is a neat place for a hostel and the price. It has a full shared kitchen that allow guests to cook food.

Clean and comfortable room as advertised. As far as we could tell, only one toilet for all people staying in the hostel portion of the building, so there was a bit of a wait to use it.

Great hostel. Beautiful facilities, fantastic location, everything you need. Would stay again.

the water is clean, but smells like sulfur. not a big deal though!

Amazing location! Extremely clean. We had an incredible experience and I highly recommend.

Only 2 Toiletts for the whole Hostel, in the morning you will always wait... Kitchen has not very basic stuff like salt for free... In my 2 bed room was an insect... Good is the location. Closest possible location to Skogafalls. But would not be critical to find some other place in this area, because next to the waterfall is a large parking place. Good is also the big kitchen and except salt etc. rest is available. Also around 6 showers available, not critical

Auberge de jeunesse viellotte par rapport au reste de l'Islande. Chambre exigue. Restauration au restaurant de plus faible qualité de tout notre séjour en Islande.
