Berunes is a farm, ideally situated at an amazing seafront under eastern mountains. The Hostel is a charming farmhouse, built at the beginning of last century and yet offers needed facilities and small double and family rooms. There are also 3 self-catering cottages, each of them can take up to 6 people and then more 5 single/double/family rooms all with shared facilities in a newer building. The Hostel is well located for those who are travelling between north and south; between Skaftafell National Park and the Myvatn area. You find a small international library, books selected and given by our guests through the past 30 years that this has been a hostel. You can get the renown Pancake Breakfast and simple meals typical of Icelandic cuisine in Gestastofan; a home resturant next to the Hostel. The East Fjord mountains, valleys and coastline are excellent for hiking. There is a path leading up between the peaks above the Hostel and down into a valley. Next Hostels: Höfn, 140 km - Seyðisfjörður, 105 km.
Here you can enjoy peace and Icelandic farm live in a magnificent environment.

| The host, Olaf, was very nice and welcoming. Felt like we were staying on a farm rather than a hostel. Highly recommended. But very isolated. | ||
