It was a bit odd sharing the hostel with the family who ran it, since it gave us the feeling of disturbing their privacy. There was a common (?) living room, but since they had visitors that day, we didn't feel we could use it. All in all a strange and not very pleasant experience...

Very homely hostel with friendly hosts and a family like atmosphere. The hoste is an old farm house, so it cannot be compared to modern buildings designed to be a guesthouse. There's two gravel roads leading to the farm, the one closer to Isarfjördur is today (Aug 2011) in a worse shape.
