The kitchen was not so clean, there were not enough forks and spoons. There was no oven. In the bathroom the water cannot evacuate the space easily. And last but not least: in barrel 6 it was very cold. The window was not well protected and we tried to compact it with socks. This techniques partially works, but better repair it ;)

It was clean in the barrels, the bathrooms and toilets

We purchased foods that would cook in the microwave that was on site, only to find that such microwave would be broken. There was no signage to state this so we had to trash the food.

Cosy little barrel that is perfect for a weekend away. Beautiful location and friendly staff.

Code then key to open the bathroom doors was a pain, particularly in the middle of the night. One key was not in the lockbox, although the toilet wasn't in use...

Superb camping pods, perfect size, warm and dry after a very wet day.

Very narrow barrel, suitable only for a sleep. There is a table but the whole place is very-very small. WC is 20 m away but they were clean. Beds were not very comfortable.

It was quite good for a night's sleep only

Staff could have provided better explanations how to access the bathroom/shower with codes and keys as it is not so straightforward. Though once understood from the neighbours, it was ok.

Despite the cold and rainy weather, the barril was heated and super comfortable and cozy. The bathroom and shower are outside but very clean and also heated. Just behind a beautiful hill with view to climb. Possibility of very good breakfast in the hotel near by. A super experience.

Bed blanket + towel is a bit expensive I think, and there could be 1 extra shower ( there is only 2). But overall everything is great

Everything was great, the staff is really friendly, the place is beautiful and the barrels are cozy and warm. We had pizza on the restaurant and it was amazing. Easy check in and check out

WiFi didn't work Shower curtain would be nice and something to wipe the floor with, now the floor was flooting. There was also a smell of urine in the shower room.

The barrel was nice and quiet, we slept very well. There was enough room for two of us

Barrels are much more spacious then you anticipate

Poorly equipped quite dirty kitchen. One of the barrel heating didn’t work

Barrels are very cute and cosy. Bathrooms nice and clean but the system with keys is quite irritating.

The key system for the shared facilities is a bit annoying

Good (and expensive) breakfast, quiet, good location

Pillows are below average. Heat didn’t work too well but could be due to the fact we stayed during a very bad wind storm. During high winds and high gusts, wind was leaking through the walls and we could feel it.

We stayed last minute during a very bad wind and rain storm that closed roads for almost 2 days. The barrels provided a safe and dry place for us to sleep. The shared bathrooms were spotless and modern.

Stayed in June 2024

having to go outside in a storm to the bathroom is not the most fun, especially if all the keys in the lockers are mixed up!

It was a booking because all lodging in Hofn area were full (except the overpriced ones). So this was a little out of the way, the barrels are actually very comfortable, and I booked it again for the next night! The people at the desk were very friendly in making sure I could keep the same barrel.

The door locking system for the bathrooms.

Very cute and cozy!

Some more home appliances in the kitchen would make the difference.

Nice wooden barrels with shared bathroom and shared kitchen. There is even a small electric radiator if it is a cold night.

The cabin was a little cramped for three people, and though we got blankets/duvets that smelled very clean, there was no top sheet or duvet cover. We were told at check-in at the Hotel Framtid that linens were available for rent, but we had our own towels and didn't want to drive back to get a top sheet. In order to access the toilet or shower, you had to enter a code to access a keybox and grab the key, then return the key to the keybox each time, so this was not terribly convenient.

The cabin was clean, a decent value for money, and located in a nice little village. Since it was a separated cabin, it felt kind of private. It was also a a little novelty to stay in a barrel cabin.

Most of the cooking pots in the kitchen did not work on the induction burner and caused some confusion for us and other guests. There was also little information on using the washer and dryer. The sign noted payment needed, but not the type of coin. It turned out we needed a token instead of a coin and we were expected to have clothes pins for line drying, but that’s certainly not something we packed for international travel.

We enjoyed the unique type of stay and the beds were very comfortable. The separate bathrooms for the barrels was also a nice touch since it was chilly the nights we were there.

Closed to restaurants and lake

An exceptional and special accommodation for those looking for something different. The barrels are very spacious, clean, and tidy; they contain the basic linen, but you should either bring a sleeping bag or rent proper sheets from the hotel that manages the campsite. There are also showers and toilets (very clean and warm) for barrel campers only (separate showers are for the rest of the camp) which was much appreciated. The kitchen, however, is rather small (I suppose the campers hang out there in case of bad weather) and is shared with everyone.

The shared kitchen got very cramped in the morning

A fun and different experience in the barrels. Surprisingly roomy and comfortable. The bathrooms were only a few steps away and nice and clean

Camping in the USA where we are from is a quiet, peaceful activity. Unfortunately, there were some guests near us who kept walking back and forth on the gravel which was loud, and speaking/shouting loudly with and at each other. This of course, is not the fault of the property, but more a matter of courtesy of the guests.

The camping barrel was warm, cozy, and unique. The location was set aside from the city so it was quiet. The window shades darkened the barrel just enough that the extended daylight hours were not an issue.
