    The hostel had a multilingual receptionist, clear instructions, and a beautiful old property. The kitchen was well-equipped and there was a good restaurant nearby. The location was walking distance to the beach and there were plenty of nearby walking trails.

    Felt really good, no reason to complain.

    The location of the hotel was absolutely ideal, right in the center of town. It was convenient for exploring the surrounding areas and attractions.

    It would have been helpful if there were more signs or information about the facilities, especially the location of the toilets. We had to ask around to figure out where everything was.

    The hostel is located in a charming town, close to the beautiful black beach and hiking trails. It offers a cozy bed and a very clean environment. The kitchen is well-equipped, perfect for preparing meals. The dining area provides a pleasant spot for enjoying dinner.

    The noise level in the hostel can be quite disruptive due to the thin walls and lack of staff on-site.

    The hostel had a great location, making it easy to explore the south coast and major attractions. The beds were comfortable and the shower and bathroom facilities were clean. The shared kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to cook meals. One reviewer mentioned that the dining room was spacious and comfortable.

    A few guests mentioned that the walls were thin and the noise levels were high. It would be advisable to bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

    The beds were very comfortable and everyone respected the silence after 11pm rule. The kitchen facilities were clean and well-stocked, and the showers and toilets were also clean. The staff were helpful and showed us where the breaker panel was in case of any electrical issues. The hostel is located in a beautiful area, close to a long sandy volcanic black beach.

    Felt like treated like royalty, no complaint.

    We had a great time exploring the south coast of Iceland and found Puffin Hostel to be the perfect base. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, helping us dry our wet clothes after a rainy day. The kitchen was well-equipped and the common area was pleasant. The location was ideal, just a short walk from the beach. we loved the cozy and homey atmosphere of the hostel.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    The location of the hostel was incredibly convenient, with many attractions within walking distance. The Lava Center and other popular destinations were just a short stroll away. The staff was friendly and the facilities were always clean and well-maintained. The spacious bathroom and dining area added to the overall comfort of the stay. Additionally, the hostel offered a fully equipped kitchen, making it easy to prepare meals.

    I got great value for my money at Puffin Hostel in Vik. The room, although small, was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet street next to the mountainside. The staff treated me warmly and were very helpful in answering my questions.

    The breakfast items could have been improved with a wider variety of options.
