    There was a problem with the hot water in the shower the whole evening.

    The room was very cozy, comfortable and spacious. Big kitchen.

    I slept in a mixed dorm and it was comfortable and cozy. The curtains were definitely a plus and gives you more privacy

    The kitchen is spacious but the eating area is quite small considering the number of people in the hostel. More ventilation is needed. The water in the shower was cold. It took more than 3 hours to get the boiler fixed and have some warm (but not hot) water. I don't know if this was an incident or something recurring. Bunk beds with double beds are not very functional especially if you are not a couple. Would have been better to have just single beds as bunk beds.

    Nice hostel and atmosphere. Furniture and facilities are new and well maintained. Given there is little light pollution outside, you can get good shots of the northern lights.

    The place was beautiful. I have seen many hotels that look less aesthetically pleasing. The beds were comfortable and the rooms cosy. The view from outside the building is breathtaking.

    Our room was a bit stuffy and humid. Other than that everything was perfect.

    The facilities were designed and set up very nice and fashionably. The kitchen was very well stocked and easy to use. The bar was great and the common rooms were very enjoyable. The location is fabulous for exploring the south coast.

    Nothing.

    Everything! Quality/price ratio is really worth it, one of the best structures I've ever stayed in. Furniture was new and the structure's design was very cool, kitchen was big clean and had all the tools you need, rooms were warm and clean, showers and baths were new and clean too. Couldn't ask for more. Really recommended if you need to stop to visit Reynisfjara black sand beach (which is like 5 min away by car) and Vik.

    The only thing I could suggest is to provide a small shelf on the wall next to each bed. It would be nice to have a place to put phones, water bottles, passports, etc. while sleeping.

    The entire place was so clean and fresh smelling! Guests were polite and on their best behavior - very little noise! We shared a room with 3 other couples who all had full beds with curtains across them. Showers were extremely clean and private; same with the bathrooms. There was a nice area with hair dryers to borrow and style your hair in front of a large mirror. The eating area was small for the amount of people staying a the Barn, but most people rotated out pretty quickly at breakfast. The beach, Vik, and the lighthouse were all conveniently located to the Barn. Staying here was such a great experience!
