Upgraded to the private cabins (same owner) and was not disappointed. Beautiful small town and the host was very kind. ##### Jacob Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ricky Jul 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place is new, clean. But it is better to provide free towel for customer ##### Ricky Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alyssa Jul 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This was such a cute little hostel! The kitchen was very cosy and had everything that someone might need. There were lots of washrooms so never had to wait. The rooms were really cozy and everything was very clean. Will be coming back here on our next trip! ##### Alyssa Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Robert Apr 11, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Stay away! Black mold all over window frames. Beds are cheap children's bunk beds that i was afraid would collapse. Mattress worn and uncomfortable. Bathrooms smelled of feces. In the kitchen only one outlet works so the refrigerator (which froze our milk) must be unplugged to use anything that requires power. ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael May 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Basically self service. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheila Jun 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Don’t let the outside of the building scare you away. The inside is clean, plenty or WC, kitchen is small but adequate. Hostel is a self check in. Only downside was I had to call and message for room and code. Other than that, it was great. ##### Sheila Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Nina von Jul 29, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It seem, they build a prison and are now booking the cells as rooms. The only difference is, the windows could be opened. Bed is so loud, as soon as one moves just a slightest bit, all in the room are awake. It was one of the worst nights I had in a very long time, and I'm travelling since 2 months. In the morning, we woke by some stranger standing in our room, although we did lock the door!! The cleaning staff checked between 8:30 and 11:30 several times, if we had checked out already, although check out is 12 o'clock. Did felt very pushed! I'm used to hostels and Airbnb and camping,so do not have that high standards, if I pay that price for a bed and a room, I definitely expect a bit more or a price at least half of it. Recommendation: even if other rooms in other hostels or hotels or whatever are more expensive, it is worth every cent/krona!!! ##### Nina von Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Christian Aug 7, 2025 ##### Christian Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ruben Jun 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Bien para ruta por Islandia ##### Ruben Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ruth Jun 11, 2025 ##### Ruth Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Teresa Apr 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Experiencia única y solitaria Fue una experiencia extraña porque estuvimos solos en un sitio con 26habitaciones. Las camas son un poco incómodas y en la habitación el espacio es justo. La sala de estar es acogedora pero la cocina es ínfima para albergar a esas habitaciones cuando esté lleno. Es imposible cocinar habiendo solo una placa. Los baños están bien y en el primero hay una lavadora y secadora. Están muy nuevas solo te tienes que llevar tu jabón. La limpieza cuando fuimos estaba bien ##### Teresa Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Diana Jul 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities El lugar en si es bueno para pasar una noche. Se veía todo limpio. Accesible y check in fácil. Tienes varios baños lo cual es bueno. Las cortinas de los baños huelen mal. Huelen como a sudor. Deben cambiarlas y lavarlas con frecuencia. Realmente fue asqueante. A las huéspedes… sean mas empáticos. Si saben que todo se escucha sean más ordenados y silenciosos. No tienen q ser tan ordinarios. Bajen la voz y no den tantos cantazos. ##### Diana Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Jul 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Très médiocre J'ai dû écrire 2 fois jusqu'au dernier jour pour recevoir enfin les infos de check in (code de la boite à clefs). Les lits superposés sont très bruyants (lorsque la personne du haut bouge, l'autre est réveillé par le mouvement et le bruit). Les sanitaires (communs) sont mal entretenus. Seules 5-6 chambres étaient occupées lors de notre séjour, mais je n'ose imaginer ce que cela donne lorsque les 30 chambres le sont !!! Je devais payer sur place, mais n'ayant croisé personne du staff, j'ai été débité sans autre forme de procès quelques jours après la fin de mon séjour. Cela renforce l'impression de laisser-aller général de cet établissement. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynn-marie Jul 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was very easy to check in, I arrived really late and I loved the self check-in! ##### Lynn-marie Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### annie May 31, 2024 ##### annie Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### roger Aug 23, 2023 ##### roger Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Francesca Aug 20, 2023 ##### Francesca Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### LUCA Jul 25, 2023 Posto buono per una notte, pochi bagni per le stanze a disposizione. ##### LUCA Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cody Jun 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Cody Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Leif Aug 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort Køje senge og fællesbad.
