Efra Sel Hostel
Fludir
Located in Fludir, 25 km from Geysir, Efra Sel Hostel provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and free WiFi. Efra Sel was the nicest surprise of our trip when it comes to accommodation, and probably my favourite accommodation we stayed at in Iceland. The room was spacious and clean, and this was the only room where we had a sofa as part of a "living room corner" too. There was a sink and mirror in the room. The bathrooms are nice and there are 2 bathrooms for 6 rooms I think, which is a good ratio. We did not see other people, so it barely felt like a shared hostel bathroom. The kitchen is also well equipped with a large table facing large windows with a nice view outside. The price was also pretty affordable. We were sorry we booked only 1 night, and would definitely come back!
Geysir Hestar
Haukadalur
This Icelandic horse farm provides accommodation in Haukadalur Valley, 90 minutes’ drive from Reykjavik. Overlooking Geysir, it offers a guest lounge, garden and horse riding tours.
Some of Geysir Hestar’s accommodation options feature a kitchen and a seating area with sofa. Toilets and showers are either private or shared.
Pretty much everything! Amazing location surrounded by greenery on all sides, spacious room, sufficient cooking facilities and ample parking space.

Comfortable room with its own bath and toilet. Great location close to many tourist spots. Close to restaurants and shopping. Comfy bed. The bathroom had a warm towel dryer, which was great as all my clothes got wet from hiking in the rain. Fridge in room. Water cooker and coffee and mugs in the room. Overall a good budget choice if you don't plan to spend time there during the day.

A convenient hostel very close to the sights of the Golden Circle – Thingvellir National Park and Geysir. A comfortable stay here with our family. The room was quiet and the breakfast was generous.

We have a room with two single beds, and two bunk beds. The beds are comfortable. It’s quite roomy and warm. The breakfast was quite nice with quite many choice of food from 7-10am. Few of the accommodations of similar price range include breakfast.

Location on the Golden Circle was perfect and we loved our view of the lake. The rooms are small and basic but clean and comfortable. I realized that I stayed here (in the same room!) 10 years ago when it was a youth hostel. There is a nice common area with a view of the lake, coffee and tea and a bar. The breakfast was nice (not included) and there is a lovely bistro a short walk away and a basic grocery next door. The bird life along and on the lake is wonderful - we heard lions calling in the evening. Fontana spa is nearby.

Fantastic hostel-like b&b in a great location on the Golden Circle! The room is small, but the common areas are very comfortable and have everything you could possibly need. Very friendly host as well! To top everything off, we saw the Northern lights from our bedroom window!! (see photo)

The hostel is in a great location. The coffee lounge area was good and we ate at the picnic benches outside as the weather was glorious. It’s cheap for Iceland and the place is basic. there were some lovely dogs and homemade Icelandic jumpers.
