Welcome to our hostel

Iceland is all about fascinating geography and Árbót Hostel is a great base to start exploring from. The hostel is surrounded by diverse bird life and beautiful nature, and is located on a farm where horses and cattle are bred giving guests a unique opportunity to experience real Icelandic farm life.

The facilities at the hostel are basic but you will not be spending your time indoors. Some of the attractions to visit include the beautiful Lake Myvatn area which harbours volcanic activity - the region is covered in lava and interesting geological phenomena like canyons, pseudo craters, hot mud and steam springs.

Bath in nature’s own hot tubs in Jarðböðin with temperatures reaching 38-40 degrees. A 10 minute drive away and you will find the nearest town, Husavik, where you can book a great chance to whale watch on fantastic tour boats.

It's a nice hostel but a little bit outlying.

The location of the hostel itself was amazing, but it was a little hard to find from the main road. The hostel guidebook should acknowledge that it's quite a ways from the main road.

This hostel is a bit off the beaten track: it's actually located in a farm near Husavik, and you might miss the turn to the right road if you aren't careful. The fact that it's far from the main road also give it a unique atmosphere and is an excellent place to relax.
