Frequently asked questions about hostels in Iceland

  • What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit?

    For budget-conscious travellers, Iceland offers plenty! Hiking is free and incredibly rewarding; explore the many trails around Reykjavik, like those in Þingvellir National Park, or venture further afield to Laugavegur Trail (though you'll need to factor in transport costs). Many waterfalls are easily accessible and free to visit, such as Gullfoss and Seljalandsfoss. Exploring Reykjavik itself is relatively inexpensive, with free walking tours and many affordable museums like the National Museum of Iceland. Look for free activities like swimming in geothermal pools (some are free, others have a small fee) and exploring the city's parks.

    Among the hostels in Iceland, Geysir Hestar, Midgard Base Camp and Havarí Hostel are the most popular ones.

  • Which airports handle most of the traffic to and from Iceland?

  • How easy is it to navigate the roads in Iceland?

    Driving in Iceland can be challenging, especially outside of urban areas. The Ring Road (Route 1) is mostly well-maintained, but many F-roads (highland roads) are only accessible with a 4x4 vehicle and require experience in driving on gravel and potentially challenging terrain. Conditions can change rapidly, so checking road.is for updates before setting off is essential. Remember that driving in winter requires specific precautions, including winter tyres.
  • What are the best hostels for families and kids in Iceland?

    The best hostels for families and kids in Iceland are Geysir Hestar, Midgard Base Camp and Havarí Hostel.

  • How can travellers best respect local customs while visiting Iceland?

    Respect for nature is paramount in Iceland. Stick to marked paths when hiking, leave no trace behind, and avoid disturbing wildlife. Showing consideration for the environment is crucial. In towns and cities, be mindful of noise levels, especially during evenings. Learning a few basic Icelandic phrases is always appreciated, and respecting personal space is generally valued.
  • What are the best pet friendly hostels in Iceland?

    The best pet friendly hostels in Iceland are Loft - Hi Eco Hostel, Bakki Apartments & Hostel and Berunes Hi Hostel.

  • Which traditional festivals define the spirit of Iceland?

    Þjóðhátíð (National Day) on 17 June is a significant celebration of Icelandic independence and national identity. Other festivals are often more local, but Yule (Jólin) during Christmas is a widely celebrated time, with unique Icelandic traditions.
  • What are the best hostels with parking in Iceland?

    Geysir Hestar, Midgard Base Camp and Havarí Hostel are the best hostels with parking in Iceland.

  • What are the key emergency contacts for medical or safety concerns in Iceland?

    For medical emergencies, dial 112. This number connects to the emergency services, including police, ambulance, and fire services. For non-emergencies, you can contact the local police or relevant authorities.
  • What are the best areas to spend a week in Iceland?

    A week allows for a good exploration of the south coast, encompassing iconic sites like Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, waterfalls such as Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss, and the black sand beaches of Reynisfjara. Alternatively, a focus on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula offers diverse landscapes in a more compact area, or you could explore the Westfjords for a more remote experience.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Iceland?

    A weekend in Reykjavik allows for a good taste of city life, with museums, art galleries, and delicious restaurants. Alternatively, a short trip to the Golden Circle (Þingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal area, and Gullfoss waterfall) is easily doable in a weekend, offering a classic Icelandic experience.
  • Are there specific regions in Iceland known for great weather?

    Iceland's weather is notoriously unpredictable. While no region guarantees consistently good weather, the south coast tends to experience slightly milder temperatures and less frequent rainfall compared to the highlands or northern regions. However, it's always best to be prepared for changeable conditions regardless of location and check forecasts regularly.
