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!

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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.
