The bathrooms are clean but too simple

The facility of the shared bathroom is too simple, no facility to put our stuff- like new dry cloth. Then guests have to only cover a tower to the bathroom.

It is clean. But no staff is on site and we did not receive the code to open the doors. Some local kids/travelers helped us

I have never stayed in a Hostel before. I had to adjust my mind to a unisex shower room. But this place was very very clean and comfortable.

We booked a room mistakenly one day late than we needed. When I found it out one day before our check in time, we were not able to make the change because it passed the free cancellation deadline. So we booked another room. Upon our arrival, the staff found our situation and agreed to give full refund for the mistakenly booked room without our asking. He was super nice and helpful. The room and bathroom are very clean. We appreciated it truly.

Stayed here for three nights as a base to explore south Iceland. Big place with many rooms (50ish?). Kitchen was excellent: huge space, four separate induction cooking surfaces, two fridge/freezers, nice coffee maker. Never felt crowded to be in kitchen given it's size. Plenty of separate WCs and showers: rarely had to wait for either. Rooms were very dorm like. Quiet hours mostly followed; quiet enough to sleep even though many people/full capacity. Although "hostel", most people there were 25+. Not a rowdy place as some hostels can be. Our biggest issue was that our room was v moldy and smelt like wet socks. Probably due to fact it was next to showers. We kept the windows open most of the time there and that helped a bit. This was really our only complaint about this location but it did mean we didn't want to spend any time in our room other than sleeping. Finally, we did find Skogar to be a good base for exploration: much more laid back and not overcrowded compared to Vik but not that far from it in a car (25m). Can easily walk to Skogafoss (30m), Kvernufoss (25m), and museum (5-10m). We would probably stay here again but ask to be located further from the showers in case that was the issue with our room.

Das Hostel ist eigentlich vollkommen okay. Tolle große Gemeinschaftsküche, sauber, warm, ordentlich und gute Lage. Was überhaupt gar nicht und auf keinen Fall klar geht, ist die Lautstärke der Türen. Bei jedem Öffnen eines der Zimmertüren im Gang hört man deutlich bis in das eigene Zimmer hinein das viermalige Piepen der Türcodezahlen und anschließend kann man sich schon auf das Knallen der Zimmertür einstellen. Das passiert je nach Auslastung alle paar Minuten, nämlich immer dann, wenn jemand entweder das Zimmer verlässt (Rums!) oder das Zimmer betritt (piep,piep,piep,piep....Rums!). Das geht so bis spät in die Nacht hinein. Geht für einen Ort an dem man übernachten will so überhaupt gar nicht klar! Hier sollten die Inhaber unbedingt zeitnah in lautlose Codeschlösser, zumindest aber in dicke Tür-Gummidichtungen investieren. Ständig knallende Türen sind ein 100%iges NO GO.

Bon rapport qualité prix

Basé à côté du site de la cascade, au calme et à proximité de la route 1, établissement rénové, chambre petite mais avec le nécessaire, sanitaire propre.

We enjoyed Skogar hostel! We arrived late after a hike and left early before a long commute to another glacier hike. The staff member checking us in was very friendly, the beds were more comfortable than we anticipated, and the kitchen was well equipped. There was an issue with one of the showers not properly functioning (no hot water and the faucet was wonky), but the other two of us showered fine. It is noteworthy that guests must strip their own linen in the morning and put them into laundry bins - which we were fine with. Overall, a good stay for 3 women travelling who booked a room with a bunk bed and single bed. Not certain it the price was aligned with value, but we are only three nights into our adventure.
