The sauna and hot tub are excellent, the rest of the facilities are excellent especially knowing that it's in the nowhere, I would for sure recommend to anyone and everyone.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when staying here but this place was above every expectation. It’s so clean, accommodating, the shared living space was so cute and comfortable. The food at the restaurant was so fresh and delicious. I will be back!

Very clean and simple design. Plenty of space to keep our things. Comfortable mattresses and good choices of food. The kids, 6 and 8 loved the rooftop jacuzzi. Beautiful surroundings and friendly staff.

The first to say is that Midgard Base Camp does not feel like the stereotypical hostel that one imagines. This starts with the lobby area that has a fun and cozy setup and the restaurant and bar area. Also, the room options are more than just a shared room with bunk beds and community bathrooms. Those do exist but we stayed in a private family room with a private bathroom. There is a hot tub and sauna that we also used. Gina, the hostess, is very fun and provided us with good information. The location fit our needs for our tour of the South of Iceland. There isn’t much else around this area to stay and Midgard offered a good option and is also close to various food options. We would definitely return.

Cool place, great staff, good food in the restaurant. Loved the hot tub & sauna. It’s the base for the company adventure trips, but you can stay there without having booked a trip with them.

Lovely place, hostel makes it a bit loud
Gina at the front desk was absolutely wonderful, she was so friendly and happy, it just made us feel so welcome! Dinner was excellent and very very quick.
We stayed in a private room which was a bit small, the worst part was the stomping that we heard consistently above us from 7pm through 1am. This was very frustrating as we are light sleepers. We did not get the rest we needed. I understand its a hostel but I am just unsure how there was so much constant activity until after midnight. Not sure we would stay again.
