Everything was much cleaner than I expected for a hostel. Private bathrooms were great. Also a kitchen with many stoves but might have to wait for wash your dishes.

We had booked 1 bed in a 4-bed dorm but they gave us 1 bed in an 8-bed dorm due to some "technical error". However the staff was very accommodating and helpful. They gave us free dinner and breakfast along with partial-refund for this error. The rooms & bathrooms were very clean. Would love to go back.

I was pleasantly surprised. The bed was comfortable, plenty of individual showers and WC. Our room was quiet, but I can see how other experiences might vary. We personally loved all the energy of the place. It was fun to hear multiple languages and meet people from all walks of life. Restaurant was a social hub. Location was close to lots of places.

Amazing place for a one night stay. Quiet, clean, excellent amenities and kitchen. And the best part is that all shoes, jackets are kept out of hallways and rooms and there are lockers to store bags outside of rooms, keeping areas clean and uncluttered. Excellent kitchen for self-sufficient travellers.

Not bad for what it was. Saw a lot of reviews that said the beds were super comfortable and soft but I felt like they weren’t the best. The rooms can get very hot overnight. If you plan to shower, make sure you get in before others because if not the bathrooms get a little gross. Besides that everything was clean. Good full use kitchen upstairs.

The Fox Hostel is a very clean, clear and relaxing space. You should be aware there are many guests in one room but that being said, the spaces are well shared between all people and we can get some intimicy without any issue.

This is a family-run hostel located near Vatnajökull National Park. The layout of the hostel is very well planned out, with many private bathrooms, showers, and beds that allow for a very comfortable stay. My husband and I were especially impressed with the quality of the kitchen and dining space, because it allowed for multiple groups to cook at the same time in their own space, and the kitchen was very well equipped with all the items that one would need to cook a proper meal.

I absolutely loved my stay at Fox Hostel. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Everything was clean and well cared for, and the beds were super comfortable - exactly what you need after a full day of exploring. The kitchen was amazing and fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals and connect with other travelers. I also met some truly wonderful people during my stay, which made the experience even more special. One of the most magical parts of my time here was the Northern Lights. Just a short walk behind the hostel in the evening, I had the most incredible aurora experience - it truly felt surreal. If the skies are clear and the conditions align, this is such a beautiful and accessible spot to witness them. I would highly recommend Fox Hostel to anyone traveling in the Vík area. It’s more than just a place to stay...it’s an experience. I would absolutely come back!! ✨
