Selfoss B&B (listed as "Selfoss Hostel" here) is B&B in name only, it's primarily a youth hostel, although one with relatively good facilities. Unfortunately when we stayed there was a large school group staying which, assuming we were staying at a B&B, was an unwelcome surprise. It was extremely noisy and no one had tried to clear up the shoes... More

We were so disappointed to discover that this 'B&B' is actually an international hostel. Very expensive for a hostel. They don't serve breakfast in winter because 'there are not enough people' despite calling themselves a 'B&B'. They told us to walk to a bakery opposite the road and buy ourselves breakfast. We were not impressed with this especially when we... More

This hostel was fantastic inside and definitely exceeded our expectations. The beds were comfortable and the pillows were good. The bathrooms were fantastic and worthy of a five star hotel. The kitchen was well equipped although may have seemed small when hostel was busy. The hostel was the warmest of the three hostels we stayed in this time. Staff were... More

This was the nicest hostel we stayed at in Iceland. The room was basic (it's a hostel) but there was a cozy sitting area down the hall and the bathrooms were clean and plentiful. The front desk woman was very friendly and took the time to help us plan our route around the Golden Circle the next day and also... More

We drove straight from the Airport at Keflavik to this hostel in Selfoss, which took us about 2 hours. The hostel is right in the middle of town, and is located near one of the best/largest supermarkets in the country. The hostel had lots of facilities, a really nice breakfast with fresh waffles, and very friendly staff. Our room was... More

I was surprised by this place. We had a pleasant stay. The room was basic but the bathrooms, though shared, were very nice. The hot tub outside was a nice stay and I really enjoyed the vibe at this place. The price was pretty good considering it's Iceland (which is so expensive). My only complaint was the snarky front desk... More

Hostel on the main busy street in Selfoss. The service is attentive and the hostel is very clean and nicely decorated. Wifi is free, but it does not work everywhere, and sometimes breaks down. The kitchen is large, well-equipped and very clean. However, due to the large number of guests you can easily prepare a meal and eat it. The... More

Nice,clean and comfortable rooms. Friendly staff in a beautiful community. Really felt at home here and would highly recommend this hostel (also called bed and breakfast) as a reasonably priced place to stay just 40 minutes outside of Reykjavik. Community pool very close by and nice restaurants/cafe as well.

We stayed in Selfoss for 3 nights, making some horse riding trips and a day trip to Landamannalaugar. The rooms and the kitchen are clean and "green" (I've never seen so many Aloe Veras in one house). Everytime the hostels staff helped us in finding bus routes, horse riding offers or whatever, everytime friendly and helpful! In the evening you... More
