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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!
