Only the bathrooms on 2nd floor had some issues. One shower doesn’t drain, and the other had a water temperature issue (went from scorching hot to cold off and on). But overall the facilities were still very clean

We arrived in the evening and stayed overnight. It’s so close to one of the most popular black sand beach in Iceland and a 8 min drive into the town of Vik. The check in was simple and easy. We had one of the private rooms which was cozy and comfortable. The view from the windows are beautiful or the mountain. And the kitchen had everything you could need. The room was also pretty good sound proof (we could only hear the hallway door close at times). They also have a bar in lobby area. Thanks for a lovely stay

My wife and I shared a room with 4 bunks. We headed to bed around 11pm and were the only ones in the room. About 30 min after we went to bed we had roommates that showed up. Even though I think they were trying to be quiet they kept us up until midnight with their unpacking and such. I guess that is to be expected sometimes when you stay in a Hostel.

The facilities were excellent! The entire building was well kept and beautifully decorated. Nice lounge area with seating for dining or just hanging out. Clean bathrooms and showers that were in excellent condition.

I only could get bunk beds. They were enough for what I needed for the night but could be better. I guess next time I'll go for a cabin or something.

The place is very nicely located, just next to Reynisfjara beach. Has a GREAT view of the ocean from afar. Warm and very comfy resting places next to a bar. great parking space.

Kitchen and dining area gets a bit crowded.

We had a great stay at The Barn, it is very convenienty close to the ring road and to the black beach. The double bunk bed was comfortable. Staff very nice. I appreciated beer on tap. Only thing is that the shared kitchen was a bit crowded in the peak times.

The location of the hotel was superb. It’s only short distance to Vik and the black sand beach. The central kitchen was spacious and equipped with every equipment I required for cooking. However, it was very crowded in the evening. The room was good, but it took me some time to lock the door due to unfamiliar locking method. One major drawback was that the heater in the room could not provide enough power to heat the entire room, including the bathroom, so it’s very cold during showering, especially when the ventilation fas was turned on. The sink was also too small, compared to the bathroom size.

Felt just like a hotel! Rooms with a private bathroom are really just like a hotel! The room was spacious comfortable and modern with a fridge and walk in shower. The main building has a great vibe and plenty kitchen space! It's 5 min drive from the black beaches and 10 mins from Vik. Would definitely recommend!

-The shared kit was probably the highlight. A large area, with 4 stoves and multiple burners; 4 (mini) refrigerators and multiple sinks, and several tables. It allows for a cozy gathering, cooking and sharing experience. -Overall the hostel is very clean (rooms, showers, toilets, reception, kitchen). -We took private rooms and the beds were extremely comfortable, a reward after a long day of activity.

Nothing. Maybe the kitchen was too small for that many people. We had to wait for a chance to cook and for a table

Loved the property. Staff were kind. Was well equipped. Was a little expensive for an 8 person dorm but I think Iceland is generally expensive. We got to see the northern lights. The staff let us know when we were in the dining hall. That was nice of them

Everything was fine

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in! Great value for money, comfortable beds with good linens, very warm and clean. The kitchen in well-equipped, and there are delicious complimentary drinks at the reception. Excellent location. Highly recommend!

Really clean and modern facilities.

The hallways of the rooms in the second floor are too noisy when people opens or closes the doors.

The location was incredible, and the hostel was really nice.

The only thing I would improve is the lugagge space in the shared rooms. There is not much, and that is a bit uncomfortable if it is full.

Everything was perfect. If your lucky, great spot to experience northen lights.

Stayed in March 2025

the literal ONLY downside was not being able to control the heat. it was sooooo hot to sleep in, but that’s not really a problem haha

location was absolutely perfect and amazing for seeing the northern lights!!! the room was super modern and clean

We booked the double bed dorm room which it was our first time. Just not get use to it really.

I like all the facilities the bathrooms are clean and sufficient. The fully equipped kitchen is incredible. The location is great we managed to see aurora from the parking lot. Recommend

Cleanliness, comfort, kindness of staff, beautiful place and location. New clean towels everyday. Showers were amazing! Good spot, beautiful views, close to the black beach and isolated enough to spot the northern lights! Kitchen was spacious and fully equipped. Lively yet quiet place! And they also offer some flavoured water for guests to enjoy :) Good value for money, Favourite place!
