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.

Beautiful location! This place is remote, surrounded by farm fields and mountains. Night was pitch-black (cloudy), with the only lights coming from a few sparse houses in the distance. Bring all your food with you, because there's no pizza delivery nearby! The owners were very friendly and the farmhouse itself was clean and well cared-for. My only regret is that I didn't stay a second night.

Friendly, comfortable and quiet, good starting point to check out Snæfellsnes, watch seals and northern lights. Only requirement: You NEED a car (it is very secluded) which I didn't have because I was hitchhiking. I guess I should have noticed that before going there, but it was very nice regardless. Bring your own groceries, next supermarket is more than 10km away.
