    The communal kitchen was well equipped and spacious. However, the beds in the dorm creaked and were uncomfortable.

    creaky beds
    sulfur smell

    the supposedly beautiful location was made unbearable by the stench of sulfur in the water. and, the bunk beds creaked like they were from a haunted house! i expected a warm welcome or complimentary snacks, but no such luck, just me and my sad room. almost gave a good review but just couldn't, absolutely absurd.

    vibrant atmosphere
    cramped room

    Unexpected charm by the lake

    The vibrant atmosphere at breakfast brought together fellow travelers, creating an instant camaraderie. With laundry available and a clear view of the surrounding beauty, I felt at home.

    However, I found the need to pay extra for bedding frustrating, and the cramped room left little space for comforts. It was a tight fit, especially for sharing.

    clean room
    large kitchen
    good internet
    cramped room

    We enjoyed the very clean rooms and the big kitchen. There were plenty of activities to explore nearby, like hiking and cave exploring. The internet was good for our needs, making it easy to relax after a busy day. We stayed with our kid.

    My wife says that the room was a bit cramped for our family. It could use more storage for bags and gear.

    great location
    spacious kitchen
    missing kitchen items
    cramped room
    pricey laundry

    The location is fantastic, nestled within a stunning lava field and surrounded by natural beauty, making outdoor exploration easy with bike rentals and nearby hiking trails. The communal kitchen was spacious and well-equipped, perfect for cooking meals. However, the room felt cramped, and it was frustrating to find essential kitchen items like can openers and spatulas missing. The bedding comes at an extra cost, which adds to the overall price, and laundry services are on the pricey side as well.

    family room
    beautiful views
    limited storage

    The family room was cozy and the large kitchen made cooking easy. With beautiful views around, we enjoyed biking and hiking nearby. The shared space was clean and well-equipped for families. The kids loved the communal area to play.

    My kids wished for more storage space for our gear.

    well-equipped kitchen

    Family with children recommend it for northern lights sightings

    The shared kitchen was well equipped, having at least two of everything, so cooking was easy and we ended up making some good meals together, you know, as a family. There was a beautiful big glass dining room where we got to enjoy our meals with a view of the lava rocks, which felt almost surreal under the night sky.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but still acceptable given the amenities.

    friendly staff
    spacious kitchen
    cramped room

    We had a great time with friends. The location is fantastic, making it easy to enjoy biking and hiking nearby. The shared kitchen was spacious and clean. Plus, the internet worked well, which was a plus for us. Best part was the friendly staff, always willing to help!

    One downside was the cramped room. it felt tight with all of us staying together. Also, some kitchen items were missing, making cooking a bit tricky.

    will definitely visit place next time.

    Awesome place! Room had feather pillows and a seating area. Shared bathroom was clean, and there were handy adapters at each bed. Heating worked great. Loved the trash cans and the hardwood floors. Good hand sanitizer around too. Spa facilities were a nice touch. Perfect for relaxing after exploring.

    I had a delightful stay at Hlid Hostel. The large communal kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to cook while enjoying views of the stunning lava field and the lake.

    cozy atmosphere
    stuffy room

    We loved the cozy atmosphere with smaller rooms that reduced noise. It's perfectly located close to the lake and various attractions, making it easy to explore the stunning nature around us.

    The room felt hot and stuffy, and it lacked proper soundproofing.

    friendly staff
    crowded bathrooms

    Great spot slightly elevated, giving amazing views of the surroundings! Loved the big kitchen area for cooking and the super clean common spaces. Staff were super friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home.

    Could use a bit more soundproofing in the rooms, and the shared bathrooms occasionally got crowded during peak times.
