8/10 Very good

Good value 2 star property and on a convenient location for shops and a bus ride from the airport. However, it good do with more than just one shared shower.
Jeremy, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was clean and spacious enough for my 3 friends and I to be comfortable. Everyone I spoke to were friendly. It was easy to walk from there to almost anywhere we went for those few days. I’d definitely recommend this hostel.
Justin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Affordable, safe, comfortable stay
It was comfortable and the woman in reception was super helpful in steering us toward the best places to see northern lights, which natural areas to visit, etc. It wasn’t really walkable to anything, so I think in the future I’d stay somewhere more central. Compared to other hostels, the bathrooms weren’t as convenient on the 1st floor, but the kitchen was spacious and clean and overall a good experience

Great stay
We had a good stay at the hostel. It is a family (father and daughter) run hostel. Both were super friendly and had great tips and recommendations. They helped us to decide on best day and time for a whale watching tour and also arranged the booking for us. Kitchen was big and very clean. Just one information: only salt and sugar was available (no oil, pepper, etc) because they pay very big attention to keeping the kitchen clean and that no groceries from leaving people are still there. Room size was good for 2 people with 2 pcs of big luggage. Sufficient showers and toilets available.

Zugangscode nicht eingetroffen
Die angekündigte Email mit dem Code für den Hauptzugang ist nie eingetroffen. Auch auf meine Anfrage 1 Tag vor der Anreise gab es überhaupt keine Reaktion. So stand ich um 2 Uhr morgens vor der Tür und musste über ausgehängte Tel-nr. meinen Code und die Zimmernr. abfragen.
