Hostels in Rangárvallasýsla

"We booked this accommodation due to limited alternatives. It’s extremely expensive, even by Icelandic standards. The biggest surprise came via email after booking, advising us to take a bus. The listing mentioned a shuttle and that the place was only accessible by 4x4 or a scheduled bus with a surcharge—but it never stated the actual cost: €64 per person, one way. For four people, that would have added €512 on top of the €360 already paid—completely out of proportion. Had this been clearly stated upfront, we wouldn’t have booked. We ended up driving ourselves along a 25 km gravel road in a Dacia Duster, crossed five rivers, then called the hotel. Mikko—friendly and helpful—picked us up in a Defender to cross three more deep rivers, for which we paid an extra fee. The location is stunning, but the accommodation is very basic. Dinner was OK. Breakfast was good. I’m surprised more reviewers don’t mention this. Most guests seemed to arrive by bus—likely unaware of the full cost until after booking."

"Zeer gastvrije ontvangst, super locatie en mooie en unieke kamer"

"De kamers waren erg klein en de prijs was zeer hoog. Ook was er geen keuken beschikbaar om zelf iets te bereiden terwijl optioneel ontbijt en optioneel diner erg duur waren. "

"De kamer was prima en we hadden mooi uitzicht. Het ontbijt was eenvoudig maar OK. Het diner was daarentegen erg matig, weinig smaakvol en deels koud."

"Rustig en afgelegen hotel. Bij aankomst is er niemand, maar geen probleem er ligt een papier met jouw naam op klaar. Zo kan je makkelijk jouw kammer binnen. De kamer niet veel op aan te merken, buiten dat je veel hoort van alles wat op de gang gaande is. Het ontbijt is oke, maar pober. "

"We did not receive an email with check inn details. Staf could not be reached, not by phone and no answer on email. The cottage is outdated and too cold inside. You can feel the wind inside! Good location but ridiculously overpriced and non-exisiting communication. No wifi available. Avoid this place!"
