This place is a hiker's paradise. The facilities are exactly what you need after a few days in the mountains in the wind and rain. Really enjoyed hanging out at the main building (which is a reception, restaurant and pub in one) with fellow hikers. Food was also great, even some vegan options available (pls add more).

Cathelijn Netherlands

It was alright.. I met great people along the way while staying at the hut.. The only thing is that it’s really difficult to find the place.

Michael Iceland

Great location for hiking, getting there is already an experience. Super friendly staff. The glamping tents were just perfect.

Ondrej Czech Republic

We loved this place and we loved hiking in the vicinity. Staff was very helpful and food better than expected.

Louise Sweden

Excellent place, super beautiful and nice staff. Really recommend to go here.

Moa Sweden

Only reachable by offroad bus or real offroad vehicle (an SUV is not enough, there are several rivers to cross) it is a great starting point for hikes in Þórsmörk. Very friendly and helpful staff who really know the area and can give good advice on hiking paths. Good food in the restaurant. Private room was clean and had a comfortable bed.

M4tthias Germany

It's a refuge in the Thorsmork national park. Cabins are well equipped but not very big (we were 4 adults). The location is great and right next to a lot of hiking paths. Breakfast and dinner were good after a long day of hiking.
