Fludir
Located in Fludir, 25 km from Geysir, Efra Sel Hostel provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and free WiFi. Efra Sel was the nicest surprise of our trip when it comes to accommodation, and probably my favourite accommodation we stayed at in Iceland. The room was spacious and clean, and this was the only room where we had a sofa as part of a "living room corner" too. There was a sink and mirror in the room. The bathrooms are nice and there are 2 bathrooms for 6 rooms I think, which is a good ratio. We did not see other people, so it barely felt like a shared hostel bathroom. The kitchen is also well equipped with a large table facing large windows with a nice view outside. The price was also pretty affordable. We were sorry we booked only 1 night, and would definitely come back!
Selfoss
The rooms in the hostel are fitted with a coffee machine. Featuring a shared bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at The Coffee House also boast free WiFi. The units will provide guests with a fridge. We stayed at this guesthouse for just one night. We met the host, and she turned out to be a very welcoming and friendly woman. It was a real pleasure to chat with her and learn some nice little details about staying in Iceland.

Hali
Set a 10-minute drive from Jökulsárlón Glacier, this farm Guesthouse offers rooms with free Wi-Fi and mountain views. Iceland’s Ring Road is right next to the property.
Guest rooms at Skyrhusid Guesthouse have an in-room wash basin. All have access to shared bathroom facilities. Bed linen and towels are included.
Location was just great! Just off the ring road and so near to the Jokulsarlon lagoon and the surrounding activities which we booked (eg Glacier Adventure). So it is really a great base although it was pricey due to its location. But no regrets as it saved us travelling time and more resting time!
We had 2 rooms that were next to each other. The whole hostel is very clean (we see the staff hard at work and the place smelling great) and the kitchen has excellent amenities for simple cooking. Enjoyed the coffee on the house and the excellent Icelandic happy marriage cake.
Overall a very comfortable stay for 2 nights for 5 of us!
Laugarvatn
Set in a 1920s former school building, Héradsskolinn offers both private rooms and dorms. All rooms feature bright décor, lake- or mountain views and access to a pool table and TV lounge. Guests can choose between rooms with private or shared bathrooms. The building is beautiful both inside and out, with a unique charm thanks to its history as an old school. The atmosphere has a very cool, distinctive vibe. Our room was on the smaller side, but it was comfortable and cozy. The shared bathrooms were decent and served their purpose. We also opted for breakfast, which featured a wide variety of options—and everything we tried was delicious.

I was third time in this hostel - it is the best hostel in Iceland. The vicinity is wonderful with small lake and birds, you feel you are at the end of the world. You have clean rooms, large common room to eat something with well-equiped three kitchens. You can wash and dry your clothes (each 900 ISK). The hostel has got a big parking, many showers, good wifi. I love this place.
Fantastic quiet location short drive from Vik, Dyrholaey and Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. I would give this hostel 5 stars! It doesn't look like a hostel at all. Beds in dormitory are big and comfortable, each with a curtain for privacy and blocking light. Nice kitchen, maybe could do with more cooking stoves. Showers and toilets are very modern and exceptionally clean!
Clean, well equipped, nice big room, excellent breakast selection, nice staff, great location - this was easily the best value and despite being cheaper the actual best hotel we stayed in our 4 night pre cruise road trip round southern Iceland
Good value/money. It was the cheapest option in that area Spacious parking, big dining area, 3 well equipped kitchens, 2 massive fridges. The room is small with a bunk bed, but for 2 people is just enough. There is a small table and 2 chairs. Sink (very big plus), towels and a hairdryer. A lot of bathrooms in a good shape.
Location on the Golden Circle was perfect and we loved our view of the lake. The rooms are small and basic but clean and comfortable. I realized that I stayed here (in the same room!) 10 years ago when it was a youth hostel. There is a nice common area with a view of the lake, coffee and tea and a bar. The breakfast was nice (not included) and there is a lovely bistro a short walk away and a basic grocery next door. The bird life along and on the lake is wonderful - we heard lions calling in the evening. Fontana spa is nearby.
I like the price! The cheapest room we booked in Iceland. The girl that greeted us was very friendly. It's like a mix of guest house and hostel. If you don't have much expectations you will be fine ☺️ Very nice beautiful farm location to have a short night rest. It has a kitchen, 2 shared bathrooms with hand soap, shower and big parking space outside. Easy access, check in. Room was warm. Clean sheets and towels. For a short budget friendly stay in a warm place, close to points of interest I do recommend it!
The hostel is in a great location. The coffee lounge area was good and we ate at the picnic benches outside as the weather was glorious. It’s cheap for Iceland and the place is basic. there were some lovely dogs and homemade Icelandic jumpers.
Best hostel I stayed in Iceland. Clean, friendly staff, great location, good amenities and comfy beds. Would recommend
Everything that you can need in hostel is there, plus it looks like it's brand new. It even smells nicely. The staff was very helpful and informative. That was the best hostel I stayed in Iceland and almost the cheapest one.
