The horsefarm is literally located in the middle of nowhere and it’s an amazing experience driving through the herd of horses which are super curious and nice. The house is well-equipped and the host is super helpful and friendly. When we were there, there were only ours and one more room taken and we had plenty of space, I’m not sure what it’s like when all the rooms are occupied, but for us it was perfect.

I've been here 10 years ago and happily came back - it is still a very special place, which is definitely worth the little detour from the main road. Go horse riding there, it is simply magical :)

The path from the ring road to the property is an ill maintained gravel path. To drive almost 50 km ( in and out) is challenging

It was quite an adventure to stay there. It is an old Icelandic house with nothing in a 20 km radius.

No complaints

The room was very nice and clean. I meet some very nice people in the shared kitchen. The horse ride was really nice. In particular I appreciated the owner. She was very willing to help and share information to make my stay even nicer.

Wonderful farmstead with beautiful shared spaces (kitchen, garden, veranda etc) Nicely isolated location but close to Egillstadir, wich is a quite big town in eastern iceland Loved the horses, sheeps and dogs. Hosts were kind and helped us solving a problem with our car!

Beautiful farm in a remote part of Iceland. We stayed at the hostel and went on a 2 hour horse ride. You can see seals from the beach. Our guide was super patient with me, a beginner rider, and it was one of the best tours we did in Iceland. The host was very welcoming when we arrived, as was her adorable dog Aska. We had the top part of the house to ourselves. Very lovely place.

It is a long bumpy ride, be prepared!

The remote location in the middle of nature and a colony of arctic terns, the horses and the riding session, the story of this house and this place....

It is a wonderful old farm! It feels like staying in an Icelandic family house, with beautiful viewings, seals on the way, and authentic horseback riding. Magical!

location is remote but all is very well communicated before. so we were prepared. I highly recommend

what a great place. a nice old house in the middle of nowhere. a family friendly hostel with travelers from all over the world. there are horses and sheep on the farm and the kids had a great time playing with them. the way to the hostel is beautiful and we saw a bunch of seals. nice well equipped kitchen. nice eating area with a view of the farm. we really loved it and the kids voted it the best place we stayed at in Iceland haha

such a lovely place! yes, you need a 50 kms ride from Egillsstadir and 25 are on a gravel road, but when you arrive there you just forget about it! A farm literally lost in the middle of nowhere, where the only noises you will hear are from the birds or other animals. We also got a warm and almost sunny weather, along with the midnight sun (or twilight) so the atmosphere was just perfect. The hostel itself is lovely too, the rooms are really nice , everything is quite functional (kitchen WC showers etc) . One of the best hostels I have ever been. If you have a chance (we had not, unfortunately) to stay more than a night, you can enjoy some activities there . So don't miss this unique place

I had a large family in the room next to me and they were very loud and the walls are paper thin.

When they say it’s remote, they are not kidding. there is absolutely nothing within an hours distance. it was so charming. the staff feels like family, they are so welcoming and kind. the horse back ride is wonderful. the horses are so well cared for. the place was homey and comfortable.

While I love the remote location, we were getting warning lights on our vehicle so we were concerned about having trouble on the road.

Very fair price, very friendly hosts. Love the remoteness, just wish the weather had been a little nicer (very high wind).

Very nice place in the middle of nowhere. The owner is very friendly and nice. Had a great time.

This was the most wonderful place to stay. The hostel is a hundred year old home maintained to its true character. The farm is in the most beautiful, isolated area. More than horses, it offers nature walks. I was only sorry I didn't stay longer. Very unique experience and loved it.
