History
The establishment has been a mainstay in Qaqortoq since it opened, and has been the destination of choice for the majority of younger tourists heading for southern Greenland. The hostel is also first choice for domestic tourists.
Until 2007, the establishment had only three rooms; two double rooms, and one room for 3 people. The 2007 expansion brought the total number of rooms to 10. Four bed rooms and two double rooms were added. With the add-ons, the hostel is de facto one of the largest accommodations in the entire municipality.

The inn lists no additional services, though Greenlandic cuisine is available to groups upon request. Siniffik Inn is a non-smoking establishment. The hostel only accepts Danish credit cards.
