One of the worst hostels to book with and a I’ve been with many. It’s a shame that these people are the ones that give you a bad impression of Icelandic people but I know they don’t represent everyone in the island. Would NOT recommend booking with them and am surprised they are welcome on the Mister BNB app. NOT allies, that’s for sure.

Standard Hotels offered through misterb&b

Because we foster the largest community of gay travelers, we need to ensure all are welcome anywhere they go. Of course you may search for a private room or a full apartment from our gay and gay-friendly hosts. But sometimes, you would rather search for a hotel in a particular location or with certain amenities.

To help in your search we have selected a few standard hotels that we believe are a good fit for LGBTQ+ travelers.

Why did we select these hotels?
Because of their location, services, amenities, rates, and overall good reputation, we believe these hotels can appeal to LGBTQ+ travelers. At this point though, we haven’t been able to vet their welcoming attitude and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community.
We also help ensure hotels with a history of homophobic behavior, or whose owners are homophobic, are not listed on misterb&b.

When booking with misterb&b, you help support organizations fighting for LGBTQ+ rights around the world.

Supporting the community is not just about survival, it's also about thriving, empowering and making a difference.
