The place was very clean, and it was easy to check-in. The kitchen was big and well furnished, but got a bit disappointed seeing there wasn’t cooking oil, salt or pepper. The bunk beds were comfortable enough, but the lack of privacy curtains was a bit off putting. I got to sleep in my room alone, so it’s not too bad, but I wouldn’t like having strangers come and go and just see me sleep. Finally, I feel like the blanket fee is a bit deceiving. While it is mentioned on Expedia, it’s like 1500 ISK, in person they charged me 3500 ISK (could’ve been 3000 ISK if I messaged them in advance..). Overall, I don’t think a fee make sense, just include the bedsheets in the price, it’s an hostel..

We emailed in advance and I was told that the hours of their reception was different than the hours posted on their door which was also different than on hotels.com. We moved our entire day around to arrive to find a notice posted on the door that said they were open 2 hours later than in the email I received from an employee. We stayed in a cabin that had nothing but beds but access to the hostel/ camping bathrooms/kitchen. In the first five minutes on the cabin, there were 2 large spiders- on my shoulder and on our bed. In nature, so spiders are reasonably understandable and the cabin was clean. We only used the hostel to brush our teeth before we left in the morning but it was overwhelming busy—- too small for the number of guests, and the bathrooms were filthy.

We had a cottage at the campsite, and our experience was not the best. Our cottage was quite far from the facilities and down a hill, which is probably fine under most conditions, but not pleasant when it's pouring rain and extremely windy. The heating was good, but there was some exposed wiring that gave my dad a very nasty electrical shock when he was trying to adjust it at night. The WiFI was only available at reception, and the reception building is tiny---basically a single room with maybe 8 seats. People were crowded inside and standing around, which also made the check-in process a bit off-putting with so many people hanging over your shoulder.

Das Hotel hat uns die Übernachtung 2x verrechnet. Ausser ein "oups" und "sorry" ist nichts passiert. Nachdem sie sich entschuldigt haben, werden Mails ignoriert. Von meinem Geld das sie unrechtmässig zurückbehalten, habe ich noch nichts gesehen obschon sie alle Angaben von mir erhalten haben.

The room with two bunk-beds was very small for four people. It was hot, stuffy and poorly soundproofed. We spent three nights there and EVERY night there was quite a big fat spider on the ceiling. First night - spider has rappelled on the head of our son. He awoke, saw the spider above his face and awoke all of us. Second night - daughter saw spider rappelled from the ceiling on the side around 4am, awoke us and asked us to remove it; third night- we saw the spider around 10 pm and removed it. In summer time is it not getting dark, thus you can see everything everywhere. Our kids are not little, nevertheless they felt uncomfortable. It seems that the construction is poorly „sealed“ and has a lot of holes.
