Welcome to our hostel

Böðvarsholt Country Hostel is in the middle of the south side of Snæfellsnes Peninsula. It is a good place to stay when travelling around Snæfellsnes; the hostel is located near Snæfellsjökull National Park with all its wonders and unique nature. Enjoy all the area has to offer, such as horse riding, hiking, theatre, nature pools, and so much more only a short distance away from the hostel. Magnificent views over beautiful nature: glacier, mountains, lava, and the ocean right from our doorstep!

Our hostel is in a old classic Icelandic farmhouse with five bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms. Enjoy the evening sun on the deck or hike around the area - the opportunities are endless.

The lady at this hostel was very welcoming. She told us about the orcas which had swam into the bay near Grindafjordur and we drove back to see them that evening. If it wasn't for her telling us about this and inviting us in to her home to watch the news we would have missed the opportunity to go and see them. This hostel is very spacious, clean and cosy. Would definitely recommend to other travellers.
