Osar Hostel - Tjorn

The view from this hostel was absolutely breathtaking, with stunning sights of the ocean, mountains, and a well-known rock formation. The welcoming was warm and personal, with the landlord being extremely knowledgeable about the area and country. A major advantage was the opportunity to visit a nearby private property with thermal pools, where guests could relax and take in the incredible views.

The number of stairs in the hostel, which might be an issue for some guests. Additionally, there were reports of noisy neighbors who showed a lack of respect for others by being loud early in the morning.

As a nature lover, I stayed at Osar for 3 nights to explore the beautiful surroundings. The friendly staff made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The wooden rooms in the house, along with the shared kitchen and bathrooms, added a cozy touch to my stay. I appreciated the option to order food, even late at night. Although the walls were thin, the stunning view of the lake and the nearby beach where I spotted seals made up for it all.

Would definitely recommend this hotel.

The location was very nice, just a short walk from the beach with the famous rock formation. The views of the ocean and mountains were amazing. The wooden cottage we stayed in wasnice and neat with everything we needed. The owner was friendly and cute, even providing us with helpful information about the area. I highly recommend this hotel for nature lovers seeking a beautiful and peaceful getaway.

Our stay at Osar was definitely worth the money. The cabins were clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with a fantastic view of the landscape. The location was perfect, with a path leading down to the water where we saw seals. The staff, particularly the friendly and helpful man who checked us in, made our stay more fun. Highly recommend!

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

Nothing, all was good.

This charming guesthouse, once a milk farm, exceeded expectations. The maze-like spaces and hidden relics added to its allure. The spacious wooden room showcased a delightful sea view. Clean and welcoming, with a kind owner who shared valuable tips for spotting seals. A romantic and unique stay.

The fine bay view, charming wooden house, helpful and kind host, peaceful and quiet atmosphere, convenient parking, easy access to a seal colony and a famous rock formation.

Nothing for me.

We got great value for our money with a beautiful room, fine ocean and mountain views, and a warm welcome from the knowledgeable landlord. The location was perfect for nature lovers, and we even found a spot with private thermal pools nearby.

The only thing that could have made the morning meal better was if there had been more variety in the breakfast options.

Very nice view with ocean, mountains, and Hvitserkur rock. Warm welcome and knowledgeable landlord. Gravel road but manageable with a 4x4. Nearby private thermal pools. Perfect country for nature lovers. Owner were great. Beautiful cabin and meeting other guests. Cozy and clean with a home-like spirit. Romantic and spacious with a sea view.

Nothing, it is perfect.

Amazing location right above the beach with stunning sunsets/sunrises. Short 10-minute walk to famous rock formation. Easy access to watch seals and birds. Well-equipped kitchen. Friendly staff.

Felt so much at home, no complaints whatsoever.

We had a wonderful stay at a charming wooden house with stunning views. Our friendly host was accommodating and allowed us to arrive late. The location was perfect, with a beautiful seal colony and famous rock formation just a short walk away. The house was peaceful and clean, and the no-shoe policy was a nice touch. We enjoyed the self-catering aspect and had ample seating to eat. I highly recommend this location for backpackers looking for a remote getaway with a well-equipped kitchen.

The location of the hostel was amazing, surrounded by beautiful nature and close to historical sites. It was a great place to enjoy the Christmas holidays. The hostel offered stunning views of the surrounding area, including a lovely beach and rock formation. Additionally, the host was very friendly and accommodating, allowing us to have a late arrival.

There were a few negative aspects that affected our stay. the cleanliness of the facilities was not up to par.

osar was absolutely amazing! knutur went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, even though the hostel is normally closed this time of year. he made us delicious pizzas and provided breakfast essentials. the location is breathtakingly beautiful and secluded, with no other food options nearby. the wooden cottage we stayed in overlooked hunafjordur bay and the hostel is close to hvitserkur rock.

Basement kitchen was cold and not well furnished.

Mind-blowing ocean view cottage, seals at beach, stunning rock formation, friendly host, clean & peaceful atmosphere.
