This hostel is located on Berunes farm by the Ring Road and is 45 km from the village of Djúpivogur. Guests have access to a fully equipped kitchen, and lounges. Free WiFi is available.

Activities in the area include hiking, sailing and bird watching. The nearest airport is Egilsstaðir Airport, 116 km from Berunes HI Hostel. Breiðdalsvík is 23 km away. The property was absolutely stunning, and the staff made the accommodations and restaurant feel like a homely roadside inn. The food, from the Icelandic rye bread to the entrees to the local beer and lemoncello, the best prepared dishes we had on our entire ring road trip. When we return to Iceland, Berunes will be on our itinerary.

Access to a fully equipped guest kitchen, lounge and BBQ area is also offered. Laundry facilities are available. I liked how welcoming the staff were. The moment we came in, they gave us a tour of the place and it was obvious how passionate they were. The kitchen was wide and spacious and had everything needed to make a splendid meal.
