Summary of traveller reviews

The Freezer in Snaefellsbaer offers a tranquil escape with lovely, friendly staff. Guests appreciate the great location away from crowds and the clean facilities. It's a place many wish to return to, though some found it a bit pricey and noted a lack of lockers.

Loved this hostel! One of my favorites I have ever stayed in. The owner is super friendly and even played live music on his guitar for the hostel goers!

Everything was good with the facility, except that the listing said there would be storage lockers, and there were not. It’s a safe area, but I prefer to have a locker in a hostel.
