I booked a room with several other people sharing bunks in the same room. A few other people were noisy until 11 PM.

It is clean and comfortable. I like the privacy curtains around each bunk. Decor is fresh and modern.

With the double rooms their are only two showers for the entire floor and it’s a waiting game They get bus loads of tour groups that take over the kitchen for hours

Kitchen was awful. Far to busy and impractical. Did not like how the showers and toilets were location right by the reception. Lounge area was strange - more like a hotel lobby. Felt like the hostel was trying to be like a hotel which did not work in my opinion.

Location was nice and onsite bar with happy hour a good perk

No lockers in rooms or locks on doors as a result had my shoes stolen

Good location

The room we received already had 4 people living and they had their stuff all around the room and left us without having any place to put our stuff, so I think it needs more organizing like if you have this bed, your place for luggages are here and etc

The location, cleanliness, big shared kitchen

Stayed in November 2023

The layout and design of the common area for those in the dorms is poorly thought out. The sinks where people brush their teeth and all other hygiene has all tiny sinks with nowhere to place anything, so the fact they don’t have hooks to hang a towel or your toiletry bag is super inconvenient and makes actually tending to yourself hard has you place things on the floor or between your legs. The dorm rooms have essentially no storage- none. And the walk way between isn’t big enough to keep a bag without tripping someone. The beds were comfortable and once I was settled I got a good nights sleep. The lobby where people sit was nicely decorated. I opted out of not taking a shower because every common area was pure chaos with people just trying to find a space to be.

Lack of places to lounge. Upstairs could be more inviting

One of the cleanest and most comfortable hostels I’ve been too. We also felt safe with our belongings

Stayed in December 2023

Too many people together for the facilities. King size bunk beds not such a good idea

The atmosphere and the attention to detail and decoration

Stayed in December 2023

The walls are very thin -- I could hear every word the neighbors were saying even though they were talking in a normal to quiet voice. I felt like they were in the same room with us and that was terribly annoying. Also there are two shared bathrooms for the entire hallway of guests but only one of the bathrooms was facilitated during our stay and the other was closed (don't know why). So it was inconvenient to wait to use the toilet and the shower. I booked a room with a view with hopes of seeing the aurora borealis but it was overlooking the parking lot with lots of cars pulling in and out with their headlights on so it wasn't what I expected.

I liked the simplicity, the rustic vibe. I liked the ample kitchen space and the cleanliness of everything. Staff was very nice. I liked the different prepared waters they offered to guests and the hang out area.

DO NOT BOOK AT THIS HOTEL. UNETHICAL HOTEL STAFF AND SERVICES. There is nothing booking.com can do for you if you get a room that does not meet bare minimum hygiene standards. What should have been a simple check in process took longer than expected at the front desk even though it was quiet ( we were only ones waiting at front desk). They gave us a room at the furthest end of the property and repeatedly they stated I had the very last room available and that there was absolutely nothing else available. On getting into the room we noticed straight away that there was heavy mold in the ventilation system (which is an issue for anyone who has respiratory issues) and the toilet was dirty. Pictures taken of both and reported to booking.com. Since the hotel had told us that there were no rooms available already we were forced to find other emergency accommodation late in the evening and had to split up what was a 3 day stay at one hotel across two hotels instead at a higher cost. The hotel then offers us an alternative HOURS later when a full refund was demanded from this hotel due to breach in service terms of substandard hotel room given. We were told that miraculously a room has -now- been made available due to a "last minute cancellation" and we would even be "upgraded" for free. Completely ethical behavior when they were unsympathetic to being left out in the cold and rain with no other option but to rebook elsewhere in first place. We had already scrambled to find alternative so couldn't now cancel that. We should have been offered this in first place. Hotel's conduct on this entire debacle is unprofessional and highly suspect. Quality provided is well below what would be expected for a private hotel room with a private bath which was the "highest grade available" at this hotel with total price being over $500. They offered us a 50% discount in writing and yet only refunded one night out the three when NONE were used.

Not far from center of Vik town center.

When we came the hostel was very busy, the kitchen is too small compared to the number of rooms/people there are at the hostel. The water in the shower was cold.

The hostel looked very modern.

Somethings need a little improvement. For example we were in a room with 6 double beds (so 12 people) that only had holders for 6 bags, and had limited hooks. The shower was also cold, although they are big there is no heating.

The barn was very busy while we were there - it had a beautiful view and a well equipped and labeled kitchen.

They only had four toilets for the entire 1st floor of hostel (I’m guessing 30+ people). These were the only private spaces for people to change in, so these toilet rooms were always full. Also, while the kitchen had lots of counter space, overall it was quite small for so many people to be using it. The dining area didn’t have enough seats. Thankfully everyone was very friendly and respectful. These were the bigger issues, but I will also say that the bed was hard, pillow was lumpy, and the rooms did not have great storage for people to put their belongings.

The hostel was very modern and clean. It was very close to a famous beach, and only a 5 minute drive into the main town. There were lots of showers and sinks.

It's on the main drag, so I'd guess potentially noisy at weekends, but was fine when I was there (Wednesday)

Well located hostel. Can't say more really as only stayed a few hours before getting up for an early flight and my main memory is the snorer in my room (which obviously isn't the hostel's fault!)

Stayed in October 2023

The shared kitchen could be way hectic during peak hours although this is expected in the nature of a hostel with many guests

As a hostel that lodges many people, this place is good for value, well organized, with good a decent bed. If you don’t pack or prefer cooking, there is also food and bar service available.

lack of temperature control in the room and not hood shades against outside lighting

Maybe I missed some stuff online, but I thought I booked a 4bed dorm. Turns out its double beds so there were double the number of people in a pretty small dormitory. There was not much room to place your stuff, so I just grabbed the necessities out of my car and left the rest in the trunk. My bad luck for having roomies that for sure haven't learned proper hostel etiquette. Slept very little because of it. The kitchen, however large and well equipped it was, it was still very crowded for the number of people staying at the place. Same for toilets and bathrooms.

The vibe is very chic and having stayed in hostels many times, I can honestly say this one was beyond beautiful. Did not feel like your stereotype hostel. Located pretty much next to the black beach and a 10 min drive from vik. The bar is nice.

The showers were bad-- if more than one or two people were showering at the same time, the water pressure was awful and the temperature would fluctuate, staying mostly freezing cold but periodically leaping to boiling, I assume when someone else turned off their shower. The rainshower style shower heads are pretty, but the low pressure and gentle drips were not much help getting sand grit out of hair and anywhere else it got caked in. It's also weird you have to walk through the lobby to get to and from the showers, strange layout. Our door to our room was not able to fully close. The kitchen has empty drawers that should be filled with more plates, bowls, cups and cutlery, we were waiting on folks washing their dishes so we could get spoons

The staff were very helpful. The kitchen was clean and has a nice view and everything worked. I liked the curtains around the beds, and being right up the road from the famous black sand beach was nice. We enjoyed playing board games in the lobby. There was loads of parking. Way more affordable than anywhere else near Vík we could find.
