Cassandra
This hostel is nicely set up with curtains on each bunk for privacy, your own light and plug in. The staff were exceptional. The sauna and hot tub were a really nice bonus. I’d recommend staying here.
Shiblee
The property is very clean and has all the amenities you can think of you might need in there. The best of all is the shoe dryer.
David
We weren’t sure what to expect, but we truly enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We took advantage of the laundry facilities and enjoyed one of the best dinners we had in Iceland in the hotel restaurant. I would highly recommend Midgard Base Camp to anyone visiting this area.
Heather
Clean and comfortable rooms. Great places to relax outside of your room. The outdoor space was awesome- great landscapes, horses and views. Staff was really helpful. Food was great! This was our first night stay after arriving in Iceland and I truly enjoyed the experience this place created.
Deborah
Friendly and helpful staff. Clean rooms.
Micah
What a lovely experience. Beautiful area. The staff are all kind and helpful.
Catherine
What an amazing stay! The food was fresh and delicious, the room clean and comfortable. What a view! So family friendly. We would recommend this place to anyone, and would stay here again!
Crystal
Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. The restrooms and showers are plentiful and clean/modern.
Andrey
Wonderful place to rest after a full day of exploring. Highly recommend!
Hanna
I was thoroughly impressed by this facility! I was in a 6-bed room (only 4 in use at the time). I want to highlight this bed was very spacious and comfortable, even for me as someone who is quite tall! The amenities (lounge area, small kitchen space with fridge, microwave, kettle, bathrooms/showers, drying area) were well designed and very accessible. Yes, it was a bit loud at times at night being a shared space (snoring, doors opening) but I felt very safe throughout the stay. I also enjoyed the access to purchase breakfast/dinner during the stay.
CHIARA
Super friendly staff!
Heather
We stayed here for one night in April 2026. Though we did not partake in any outdoor adventures with the company, they all looked exciting. We did eat dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and were very happy with the quality of the food. What makes Midgard Base Camp stand out for lodging is the lobby area with its different seating areas and seating choices. There is a laundry facility (reasonably priced) which was super helpful, and they offer drying systems for shoes, coats, and bathing suits. The rooftop hot tub is pretty cool! There is also a small kitchen if you prefer to cook your own meals. Our room was quite spacious. We chose a room with a private bathroom, and it was very quiet. We overlooked a horse farm and a mountain range. All staff members were helpful and friendly. What a cool place!
Jason
Sauna and hot tub were great. Room was basic but very comfortable and clean. Staff was very friendly and the restaurant had very good food! If we are fortunate enough to visit Iceland again we will definitely be staying here!
kelly
Loved our stay here! Very friendly staff, lovely lobby/bar area and ideal kitchen area. Room very basic but was all we needed. Loved the hot tub! Small touches like the boot dryer and the swings in the lobby were great. Would highly recommended!
Micky
What a great staff! So helpful and welcoming.
The kitchen was well equipped with an area to sit. The lobby was very cool.
We had dinner at the restaurant and it was really good, but also very expensive.

Clean room and amenities
Sherri
This was a great hotel as long as you know what to expect. The room was small and there is no TV. I knew this in advance, so not rating down for that. The beds are VERY firm, so if this is an issue, this might not be the hotel for you. We only had one night here so it was tolerable. Staff was very friendly and there were some amenities like the sauna that we didn't try out so can't speak for those.
Martin
Room was spotless, they placed a nice fan in the room for me before we arrived, beds separated. Great staff, and a very fun atmosphere. I was able to see the Northern Lights for the very first time upon my departure this morning!
Brandon
Bunk beds were comfortable and loved that they supplied ear plugs. Loved the hot tub and meeting other guests. Great experience
Hemalatha
Excellent place for price .. only problem was it was bit noisy
Mary
Parking was available at the hostel. I would definitely stay here again as it was very clean, quiet and adequate accommodations of showers and common space to easily move around. The privacy of my bunk was great and ability to have an outlet and light inside the bunk, and a locked drawer was absolutely appreciated. Lived this place!
Katherine
Delicious meals; top quality chef; staff extremely helpful and friendly
Wendy
We had a room for four adults with a private bathroom. The room and bathroom were very clean. Beds were a bit hard but not a huge issue. The breakfast in the morning was great and very convenient. Would definitely recommend this property for your stay.
Kaitlin
Property was great, very clean, staff were friendly and super helpful, perfect location! Added on the highlands tour through Midgard and it was incredible, highlight of my time in Iceland!
James
The place is nice. Restaurant has a really nice atmosphere. Not much around it and in a bit of an industrial area

Mary
This place was the best!!! Loved it.
Allison
The property was colorful and fun. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The food at the restaurant was great. My only gripe was that you can hear the other room doors open and close throughout the night
Breanna
Amazing and beautiful property with wonderfully accommodating staff. Love the hot tub/sauna at the end of a long day. Beds were clean and comfortable with adequate privacy. Would definitely recommend!!
vanessa
This was an excellent place to stay. Quiet but with lots to do. Bunks were comfortable and private. Can’t wait to go back
Carol
Wonderful stay here! Friendly staff, lovely hotel, spacious rooms. Highly recommended.
William
Midgard was the best! The staff were super friendly and so incredibly helpful. Our private room was so quiet snd comfortable after our long trip. But most of all the view of the horses grazing out our window was amazing.
Alexander
Spacious bunk with a privacy curtains. Clean washrooms and shower rooms.
Jean
Quirky but excellent
Quirky hotel in odd location but room was very large, anc clean. Restaurant was very good
Marina
The location was beautiful - you can sit in the hot tub and watch the horses grazing in the field behind you.
Marlon
Awesome place! Love the hot sauna overlooking the fields and mountain.
adam
Awesome hot tub on the roof with excellent views! No elevator to get to the rooms but otherwise everything was well done. Great and helpful staff!
Annia
First time in a hostel, didnt know what to expect but i was pleasantly surprised. It was quiet and the rooms were clean. The showers were not very clean and the breakfast had very few options so im glad i didnt pay for it.
Carl W
This was a great value and a great place to start our Iceland adventure. The friendly staff greeted us with lots of information and a smile. We arrived early (late morning) after a red eye flight and the staff helped us find a place to eat and worked on getting us into our room as soon as possible. Room was basic but clean and in great condition. We had private bath and everything worked well. The area in front of hotel is a little industrial but there is an adorable horse farm behind the property and this is what you see from the room and from the hotel restaurant and terrace. The on site restaurant and bar had great food and service and made our first day very easy. They also have a nice breakfast buffet in the morning for a charge. If you have time to shop, there is a grocery store walking distance and communal kitchen facilities (at least for storage of food). Not sure about cooking. We had a car and did our own thing but it also appeared possible to book tours and activities through the hotel.
Min
옥상에 hot tub 아주 좋습니다. 식당도 무지 비싸긴 하지만 맛은 괜찮습니다. 바로 근처에 마트랑 주유소같은 곳이 있어 위치도 좋습니다. 다만 방이 너무 작고 통풍도 잘 안되서 많이 답답하다고 느꼈습니다. 가성비가 좋다고는 말할수 없네요. 별 3개 하려다 hot tub 이 좋아서 4개 드립니다
Elaine

Rebecca
Place was great.
Lisa
Great little
Great place to stay if you want to have a base near the south coast to go exploring.
This is particularly good for those on a budget as the place has a guest kitchen which meant we didn’t have to spend loads of eating out. The whole place has a very chilled out vibe. Nice lounge and bar area.

We truly had a wonderful stay at Midgard basecamp! The staff were fantastic, the room was comfortable, the amenities were amazing(special shoutout to the shoe drying station) and the restaurant was delicious. We will gladly return next time we are in the area.
Ps: we also booked a guided tour with them and it was a truly fantastic experience and a highlight of our trip, we can't recommend it enough!

Absolutely wonderful stay at Midgard. The check in was seamless, the hot tub and sauna were lovely, and we appreciated the kitchen area to use. Very cute and good for families, friends and couples. Loved the restaurant. The k
Theodore
A wonderfully cozy hostel. Staff showed me all amenities and walked me to my room at check-in. Bed curtains allow you to draw them shut and keep working under your own light, even if your roommates are asleep and want darkness. Wish I'd have given this place more time!

A great stay. Kitchen facilities were minimal, and a bit disappointing - other than that, it was perfect.
Talon
Awesome first shared room experience. Extremely friendly staff.
Maria
Excellent basic accommodations. Perfect location when booking a tour!
RONALD
Nice shared bathrooms, small kitchen. Sleeping pods in shared room nice with storage, light, curtains and convenient power outlet.
Window was only ventilation for the room. CO2 levels unacceptable with three people in room (3000ppm) after roommate closed window when wind outside caused door to rattle.

The staff here are so friendly and helpful! The space has such a cozy feel to it and they make you feel at home. I felt very safe here.
Alyssa
Midgaurd Base Camp was the perfect location after a long day of travel, between the Golden Circle and the rest of southern Iceland. Parking was easy, delicious dinner and breakfast, comfortable beds. I stayed for one night and have no complaints, great value for money
Maxime
Great stay at Midgard
This was an amazing hotel. It is perfect for persons going on excursion/trip. The rooms are simple but the beds are comfortable. They have a hot tub outside, which was more than welcome. The staff is very nice and accomodating.
Erica
Great Little find however rooms have no temperature control and we barely slept because we boiled, dried up and are writing this from the after life
But staff are very sweet, property super clean and unique….

Great place to meet people!!! Great staff as well.
Arthur
Felt really modern. It was clean and fully featured.
The shared bedroom was nice, with dedicated drawers to put our stuff (could be locked if you bring your own). There was bed curtains to block light and get some privacy.
The hottub looked enticing, but it was fairly small fitting maybe like 6 people. I decided to skip because it was full with another group.
They also had a tiny “kitchen” that isn’t mentioned anywhere which was convenient. However, note that it’s mainly just microwaves, and a kettle, with plates and other cookware. No stovetop or oven.

All good. Comfortable and clean but room too hot. No air circulation
Misty
Great food! Had a washer and dryer which was great to have . Owners have two cute labradors walking in and out of the lobby giving it a very relaxed feel and I would stay there again.
Caden
Liked the private dorms
Rafael
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.
Jessica
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!
Eva
Family of four
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.
David
Fun atmosphere and very nice rooms
Marc
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.
Daria
Great staff!
Harald
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.
Oliver

They have a public kitchen where you can cook your own meal. People are friendly and courteous!
Janice

Emma
HIGHLY recommend, this place a hidden gem where they make you feel a part of the family. I could not recommend this place more just so friendly and love their story
Natasha
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.

Exactly what we were looking for! Super clean, efficient, great food, happily surprised with a efficiency kitchen for guest to use! Will definitely need that!
Adam
The property has a great view of Eyjafjallajökull on a clear day and is within walking distance of the local grocery store: Krónan. Parking can be a challenge and is often full during the evening. I would recommend creating dedicated parking for guests who are spending the night there.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!
This location was our FAVORITE of the 4 different locations we stayed during our recent trip to Iceland. We were a family of 5 and I was nervous about the bunk arrangement but it was PERFECT! The bathroom facilities provided privacy as well. But the BEST part of the location was the STAFF who were amazing! They were so friendly and clearly enjoy working together. The atmosphere is relaxing - we spend the evening playing cards in the main room and had a blast. The food was FABULOUS and FRESH. We even spent time speaking with the Chef. I would stay here again without hesitation and would highly recommend to anyone.

This was a great and welcoming experience. Something for everyone. Very relaxing.

It does look like a \"camp\" with lots of backpackers. The room conditions are basic but sufficient.

We stayed one night with our teenage son while touring the southern coast. It was great! The rooftop sauna and hot tub were a nice bonus, fun decor and very clean s quiet. I would have booked a hiking tour out of this hostel but didn’t consider it before we arrived.

Great place to stay! This is by far the nicest hostel I stayed in while in Iceland. The rooms are great- I love that they have privacy curtains on all the beds and huge lockers. The hot tub and sauna are a massive bonus, especially if you’re doing Fimmvorduhals and Landmannalaugar while you’re in the area. Showers and WCs are great, tons of them and roomy. Plus a small kitchen that gets the job done! Staff are also amazing, I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

GIVE YOURSELF A TREAT HERE
Midgard is a very welcoming place. The rooms are comfortable and the hot tub with a view of the mountains is spectacular. The restaurant serves up tasty meals. What’s not to like?

Wonderful place to stay with a chill, friendly atmosphere. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. We were given a tour of the place upon check-in. Excellent amenities and restaurant. The hot tub and sauna were wonderful bonuses. Also recommend their Superjeep tour - epic day!

Midgard was a great base for us as a stop off after some adventures a long the south coast, and off again to explore again the next day. We'd highly recommend this hotel for anyone either looking for someone to stop off, or even for a longer stay to base yourself for a few days. It is ideally located to easily reach all along the South Coast.
We have a private room which was nicely decorated with good amenities, we ate at the hotel restaurant which we really recommend as the food was fantastic quality for the price (for Iceland prices). Finally the staff made us feel really welcome and the did everything they did to make us feel at home. The place has a really nice feel about it, and you can tell everyone enjoys being there. Oh.. and don't forget the roof top hot tub and steam room. A welcome retreat at the end of a long day.

Amazing! Modern rooms great facilities
Friendly staff! Booked room with private bathroom and the room was spacious and modern. Great facilities including a shared kitchen , hot tub sauna and laundry. For the kids there is a tv and foosball table in the lobby with a ps4 to entertain the kids. On site restaurant and bar as well. Family owned business with super friendly staff.
Great location to get picked up by the bus at the nearby gas station to Thorsmork. Also a great resting stop as you drive along the southern coast.
When we return to Iceland we will definitely return!

I especially liked the cleanliness of the property and the privacy of the toilet stalls and showers. The view of the horses and farm land was a plus! Overall, a lovely place to stay that was very eco-friendly and great staff.
