Thanks for giving the little house instead of the hotel room for free. All was new and comfortable. Netflix provided as well. What a view from the living room. Best place I have been Iceland.
BelgiumAbsolutely the best place we stayed in Iceland and the best hostel we have ever stayed in the world! To be honest, not sure how it can be considered as a "hostel". It has EVERYTHING you need for a really good price. We even came back for one more night. 11/10
LithuaniaClose to famous Icelandic beaches and other beautiful places
UkraineEverything is perfect, the most decent hostel I have ever stay.
BelgiumNice private room. The window was amazing and great view of the mountain and the Aurora, we noticed the northern lights there at 11pm and took photos before going outside to the parking lot. There are two bathrooms to share and they were very nice and we had no problem sharing with the rest of the hall mates.

United States of AmericaClose to the beach, this hotel/hostel was really nice. With modern design, big kitchen, and many shower rooms and toilets. The extra sinks on the hallway were useful too. Lemon water in the hallway :)

AustraliaEVERYTHING. Nicest hostel I have ever been in. Plus I saw the northern lights from my bunk. BOOK IT
