Breakfast was great and the location topped it off. Waterfall right behind the hostel. The people were very kind.

Zain

Staff are very nice, welcome cookie (they made a cookie to welcome the guests), amazing view to a waterfall, clean place and bathroom, also possibility to wash and dry my clothes

Ellen

Staff is the best !!! They make you feel home away from home. Lucia and Davide are the greatest hosts I've ever met. Mouthwatering chocolate cookies, simple but nice dinner, a lot of shower rooms, waterfall view is amazing.

Elena

This was the only hostel we stayed in and I was very impressed. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was large and the bed very comfortable. There was a large sitting area with free coffee and home-made biscuits when we arrived. The shared bathroom facilities were clean and not a problem. Breakfast was included in the very reasonable nightly rate and was excellent.

Peter

Australia

Breakfast was decent for the price. I stayed in the mixed gender dormitory and people were very respectful. Clean and comfortable bed and facilities. Less than 5 minutes drive to Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Highlight of my stay here was the staff who was so enthusiastic and helpful when I checked in late after 10 PM. He showed me where things are in the guesthouse and showed me to the dorm where he had reserved the lower bunk bed as I requested weeks prior. I would return in the winter and highly recommend this place as a base to explore.

Only some noisy guests in the room.
The location close to the waterfalls. Nice and quiet courtyard and good facilities. The breakfast was even better than I expected, the freshest croissants, coffee machine, different cheeses, ham, eggs, etc. I would like to stay there again at my way back to Reykjavik! :)

Everything was perfect. Thank you.
This was the most expensive accommodation in all of our 11-day trip and it was worth every penny. The place is well organized, very clean and has everything you might need if you're the organic Iceland explorer type. Great social spaces inside. Breakfast is phenomenal!! The best one ever in my pretty long worldwide travel career. I fell in love with Lucia but don't tell her. <3 Girls at home don't work with a dedication like that and keep a smile on while doing it. Awesome job, guys, keep it up.

To access the shower rooms you have to go through the breakfast serving area what is little strange and uncomfortable, but this does not change the fact, that this is a very good and nice place to stay.
Very good breakfast, comfortable bed, very helpful and friendly staff, everything was clean and tidy. I recommend.
