The double bed rooms were a little bit small and we couldn’t open comfortably our suitcases.

The common spaces were nice and friendly to socialise. The kitchen was fully equipped. The beds were comfortable.

The kitchen was very busy at meal times. Just be prepared to plan simple meals that don't take much time to prepare. Or aim to prepare them outside of the main rush.

The bunks are very comfortable and the showers are excellent. There is a nice dining area and breakout spaces for you to relax with friends and eat meals. The place was quite at nighttime as the rooms were seperate from the kitchen and dining area.

Our food got stolen continuously for two days, we were not able to investigate further as there’s no CCTV in the kitchen, therefore the thieves were very daring to steal. Otherwise I’ve gotten my laundry done in the hostel but my puffer jacket got washed and not drying up completely, I couldn’t wear it for few days and all our clothes that washed were smelly and we need to hand wash again after.

The location is really nice and we managed to see northern light right in front of the hostel. A lot of parking lots available. Design of the hostel is very fashionable and comfortable. Towel was changed daily as well as the shampoo and conditioner are smelling so good!

The kitchen seemed big at first, but taking the number of guests in the hostel into account it was difficult at times to find a table to eat.

Modern hostel, nice bar

The dorm room is very small. We stayed in 8 person dorm room. I dont have a problem with staying with other people but there is not any space in the room besides beds. Did not even have the space to open up my luggage in the room and it was veri hard to manage my stuff during stay. Also the dorm room doors does not have locks which is weird. You can just barge into any room. I did not feel unsafe but locked doors would have been better.

Location is great general atmosphere is good as well

A HELL PLACE! 1. Super tiny bunk bed, especially they give you the upper bed, you will hit your head easily and it is fu*king dangerous to climb. Like you sleep in the jail. 2. Unfriendly and inpatient reception people. My room’s light is so dark, and i fell down from the upper deck. They didn’t provide any help at all. 3. Poor location. In the middle of nowhere.

Zero love

We used the Booking filtering system, we need: - minimum one or two rooms!!!! - a bathroom in the room. This where basic!! The Barn has NO ROOM! This is a Hostel. I think very expencive for 4 bed more than 200 EUR. 4 beds and the room we should have to share with strangers. No place for the packagings, even the shoes. We just realized this when we arrived, and no chance for refound! So I hand to pay even we did not slept there. Very unpolite business politics. Need to have more finetuning the application filtering system do not let to pop up this kind of acomodation if Someone would like to find separate room!

I was a late booking for me so I got the worst room on the property. Room 37 with a nice view of the road and parking lot

- someone was sleeping in my assigned bed when I checked in. I was moved to a different room with two more beds (4 bed room to 6 bed room) - there was a person snoring very loudly so I could not sleep all night. While I understand shared dorms have that issue, I had booked a 4-bed room to minimise it and I got a 6-bed. - the knives in the kitchen were dull

- the kitchen was open 24/7 and it was well stocked in terms of pots, pans, cutlery, utensils - the bed was comfortable - the employees were helpful and moved us to a different bed because ours was being used by someone else

The kitchen is big and well-equipped with two sinks, two microwaves, two stoves, a kettle, a coffee dripper, etc., but it was full house and overcrowded when we were trying to heat up our dinner. Luckily the next morning, the tour group left and we enjoyed the cozy kitchen by ourselves.

Very close to the Reynisfjara Beach, good for our second attempt the next morning because first attempt failed due to strong wind and waves in the evening. Staffs are very friendly and they have a bar inside. Double bed in the 6-bed dormitory is comfortable with a wall light, a plug and a little space to keep your stuffs. Each guest in the dormitory has their own rack to put luggage as well. Hair shampoo, hair conditioner, towel are provided.

2 showers with combined toilet was a bit little for the amount of guests. The bar was not inviting, especially for a solo traveler

Really clean room, comfortable bed and nice location

Stayed in February 2025

Not very comfortable: the kitchen was too small for all the guest who were cooking, the bedrooms are small and too crowded, the bathrooms and showers are too close to the entrance

The building is very new, nice and modern. It’s very close to Reynasfjara and Dirholaey.

Cleanliness and the heater being too strong. For the price they charged per night, I’d expect a much better service.

Comfortable and accommodating staff

It was annoying to have to go through the lobby to get to the showers.

Location was great, we loved the bar and atmosphere which was great for getting to know other travellers

Not enough space in the room to place your bags/laggage, we slept in a dormitory of 8 pax

Stayed in November 2024

Nothing on barn but dorm rooms were just not very comfortable. Lights were out at 9 when we entered and we struggled just to get ready for bed. We left as soon as we could in the morning.

Only cheap option available. Checkin was smooth

Stayed in September 2024

Shared room with very little room to put our bags/clothes as everyone was with their own winter gear which takes space. Bed curtain also kept opening rather annoyingly.

Great facilities and large common kitchen. Showers are great and clean.

Stayed in November 2024

Staffs were rude when we check in and also check out. It is a popular hostel/hotel due to its design and location which make the staffs less friendly and welcoming. The barn was very crowded during our stay. Washroom and the sink area were very dirty, shower rooms don’t have a curtain to separate the dry and wet area. They should have staffs to clean the washroom and sink every few hours due to its business but they didn’t. Kitchen were crowded around 5-8 as that’s when everyone started heading back to their hotel/hostel. The sink was clogged and some people don’t clean up after themselves. They do not have staffs to clean them until very late night around 1 am. I have stayed five other hostels that weren’t as stylish as the barn’s interior design but the quality of the stay were much much much better. So if you want to stay near black sand beach and experience staying in nice black interior design hotel/hostel, the barn is good. If you’re looking for clean, hygienic , less crowded hostel/hotel, friendly staff, good facilities , look somewhere else.

The barn is very close to black sand beach and very stylish.

Our room was next to the bathroom, which had no soundproofing (you can hear every single thing in there). Could have done with a desk/dresser for somewhere to put your things.

Great location, lovely social areas. The kitchen was well stocked and there were lots of games etc downstairs.

Rooms are too crowded and narrow. They should allow less people in the same room

It has many showers and toilets
