Guest reviews for Áfangi
"There are not many locations in this area of Iceland since it's in the highlands, but this filled our needs perfectly and exceeded those expectations. Going in, I was expecting this to be more barebones, but the facilities were well above anything you could achieve with camping and was well worth it for our journeys. We got lucky that the place wasn't full, so we got to have a room for just the 2 of us when normally it would be max 4 people. The common areas are big and comfortable since the place holds a lot of people at max capacity. It was cool to learn that the place only hosts guests for ~2 months and then is used as a lodge for the local sheep herders to gather their livestock up for the winter."
"Didn't realize the bedding cost extra to rent for the night, since the beds are designed for you to be using a sleeping bag. Not a huge deal, got 2 sets and they were plenty comfortable."
"One of the best mountain cabins I´ve ever been – mind that it’s a Icelandic cabin (almost hostel) and not a hotel, so you must adjust your expectations accordingly. It has a spacious dining room, a well-equipped kitchen, 2 showers, 3 toilets and all was super clean thanks to the great staff (I hope Karolina repeats next year). It can of course get busy when it’s full, but much better than the ones I stayed around. A nice plus that you can rent bedding if you don’t have a sleeping bag."

"Ostello autentico, nel bel mezzo del nulla, perfetto per una sosta percorrendo la fantastica strada 35. Ottimi servizi: una cucina super attrezzata, un piccolo bar, la vasca d'acqua bollente e quella d'acqua gelida a disposizione degli ospiti, servizi igienici puliti e funzionali, lavatrice ed asciugatrice. Le camerate son piccole, ma perfettamente aderenti alla descrizione. L'oste, una giovane ragazza islandese, è stata davvero molto carina e gentile, ed è stato un vero piacere chiacchierare con lei. Il paesaggio circostante è eccezionale. Andateci!"
"Nulla. Tutto perfetto."
"Tolle Unterkunft für das Ende eines Hochlandtrips über die 35. Einsam gelegen. Ein Whirlpool ist außerhalb der Unterkunft verfügbar aus dem man bei klarer Sicht auch gut Nordlichter beobachten kann. Personal ist sehr freundlich und der Gemeinschaftsbereich und die Küche schön und gut ausgestattet."

"Rifugio in mezzo al nulla ma con cucina ben attrezzata e piccolo bar."
"Cameretta un po' piccola."
"La ubicación es buena, en la carretera F35, ideal para hacer noche durante la visita a las tierras altas. Tiene una cocina amplia y funcional, buen salón comedor y, en general, es un albergue cómodo. La tarta casera está muy rica, la recomiendo. Tuvimos un pequeño imprevisto con nuestro equipaje y la chica de recepción nos ayudó a resolverlo de forma rápida y eficaz. En definitiva, nos pareció una muy buena opción para esta parte del viaje."
"Las habitaciones son un poco pequeñas, lo justo y necesario para pasar una o dos noches durante el viaje por las tierras altas."
"Zeer aardig personeel en sfeer. Alles erg praktisch en functioneel. Heel goed geslapen ook."
"Aucun."
"Einfach ausgestattete Unterkunft mit 4-Bett-Zimmern, Gemeinschaftsraum, Gemeinschaftsküche, Wirlpool und Waschmaschine/Trockner. Alles da, was man bei der Hochlandüberquerung braucht."

"Nice spacious flat with excellent view. Nice furniture. Crossfit equipment there as it used to be a gym studio."

"Inside nice had everything we needed. Outside not so much"
Karen Dream Guesthouse
"The pod was actually delightful with air conditioning and charging ports along with a tv. It also had storage lockers for me so I can have as much space as possible. The hostess was genuine and kind. She helped me out through the entire process and even recommended several spots to visit. It was smooth and comfortable."
"Adorable little apartment right in the heart of town. Well equipped and easy to find, with plenty of street parking. Host was very helpful and friendly."

"The location was perfect - just a short walk from the ferry. The bedroom and common room were clean and comfortable. The small kitchen with supplies was a bonus!"
