This place was beautiful and perfect for our family of 4 with 2 teenagers. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen well-stocked with everything you need to cook your own meals, and the bathrooms were very private and well-kept. The views are AMAZING! 100% recommend this place!

Was here in Sept 2023.
Cozy place and despite strong storm and cold weather, we feel so warm inside. Kitchen clean and abundance of toilet.
Meet good Denmark old couple and have good chat.. There is farm and nice waterfall just behind the place

Only 4 stars, as the description of the property varies wildly between sites. The name is either Havarí Hostel or Bráz Hostel, they might or might not have breakfast included (we didn't find any), and they might or might not have laundry services (we also couldn't find this). Rooms, bedding, and bathrooms were clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was well-organized.

Simple and clean with a great view.

Great place if you are heading to East Iceland and the fjords. The owners are very nice and the hostel only has 6 rooms so it's very comfortable and not overcrowded. Kitchen is complete and shared refrigerator big enough for each room to have their own shelf.

Amazing palce to stay with amazing views. Very clean, very good facilities, good communication with the owners, good location. It looks like brand new facility, with all kitchen supplies that you need. I would definitely stay there for longer than one night. The value for price is great, I would definitely recommend it to others.

We stopped here for a quick bite and were delighted to be served by May and her family. The cappuccino and cake we ordered were delicious and we had a wonderful conversation with May before we continued our drive. We hope to stop here again soon. We highly recommend the experience!

This place was a lifesaver. We were almost blown away from our camp site with very high winds and decided to find a room inside. Great kitchen facilities, the most comfortable bed I've slept on in weeks and a lovely cafe behind the hostel. Highly recommend.
