Our take
I recommend Húsey Hostel & Horsefarm to budget-conscious travellers and families who want an outdoor stay centred on hiking and horse riding. Family rooms, a picnic area and free private parking make it practical for anyone with a car, but bathrooms are shared and it sits 55 km from Egilsstaðir, so it is remote. Anyone wanting private facilities or a lively setting should look elsewhere. With 446 reviews behind a 9.0 rating, I would choose it for a farm-style stay.
