This hostel is located on Berunes farm by the Ring Road and is 45 km from the village of Djúpivogur. Guests have access to a fully equipped kitchen, and lounges. Free WiFi is available.

Activities in the area include hiking, sailing and bird watching. The nearest airport is Egilsstaðir Airport, 116 km from Berunes HI Hostel. Breiðdalsvík is 23 km away. One of the best places we stayed in all Iceland. It’s right on the fjord with scenic views around and the accommodation itself is great! Very cosy and comfortable, with attention to detail, every room or house was special in its own way and provided everything you might need. We came for one night, but stayed for two as we didn’t want to leave. You can enjoy food from the restaurant on site or cook it in a shared kitchen. The staff and especially the owner very super nice, responsive and attentive. Highly recommend!

Húsey Hostel & Horsefarm features accommodation 55 km from Egilsstadir. The hostel has family rooms.

At the hostel the rooms include a shared bathroom with a shower.

Guests at Húsey Hostel & Horsefarm will be able to enjoy activities in and around Húsey, like hiking. Just an extraordinary experience - beautiful house to stay in and full of charm. Being on the farm was blissful with all the animals and so many birds. The setting on the estuary is magical. The horses were calm and unflappable, and the instruction was absolutely great. My son had his first riding experience here and it was the highlight of his holiday. We only stayed for one night but wished it could have been longer

Some rooms at Hafaldan HI hostel, old hospital building feature private bathrooms, while others have an in-room wash basin and access to shared bathroom facilities. Access to a fully equipped guest kitchen, lounge and BBQ area is also offered. Laundry facilities are available. it was nice and clean, easy check-in and checkout with their honor system since we arrived super late and I was very nervous about making sure we were able to checkchecking, but it was super easy and fast with their booling message and their log in book. there was also a very nice communal area with a full kitchen and boxes for the tenants. There was even a laundry area and Sauna which we didn't use but definitely can see the usefulness if we had stayed more than one night.
