De hottub en sauna na een lange dag fietsen van Reykjavik hierheen.
AlexandraItalyAMAZING
The staff was really nice, the common area was extra chill and full of games to play with friends. The sauna and the hot tube was an amazing surprise and the kitchen well furnished. Extra point for the laundry, the shoes…
AudreyUnited StatesI would stay here again in a heartbeat. I am a 50 year old women and I felt very comfortable.
This is a hostel but it felt like a hotel other than shared facilities. It had such a great vibe and there were guests of all ages. The bar made excellent drinks!
It is a hostel so you had to share facilities but that…
FredericCHSuperbement placé et confortable
Hotel très bien situé et propose de de nombreuses excursions sur les glaciers environnants. L'acceuil et le service au restaurant est exceptionnel.
Les chambres correspondent à la description, sont minimalistes mais…
DavidUnited KingdomPerfect as a ‘basecamp’ for our trip into the Fjallabak region.
Very helpful staff, relaxed yet professional set up.
Bedrooms can get quite warm at night.

What we’d check for you here
- How many rooms they will hold at once, for how long, and on what terms.
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Midgard Base Camp
What time is check-in and check-out at Midgard Base Camp?
Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Midgard Base Camp allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Midgard Base Camp?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Midgard Base Camp have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Midgard Base Camp?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Midgard Base Camp have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Midgard Base Camp?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
