Our March stay was nice. The double room with shared bathroom was comfortable. It was quiet during the quiet hours. The flavoured water at the front was a nice touch. Check in was easy. Plenty of parking available. The downstairs lounge had comfy seats to lounge and hang out in. More guests should use the bath mats provided to keep the shower floors dry. The kitchen area and bathrooms are cleaned daily by staff.

Great location to explore Vik and its gorgeous surroundings. A premium hostel, very clean with friendly staff. The kitchen, lobby, and bar are also very spacious and great to meet other travellers. Only minus was the out of order dishwasher in the kitchen. Otherwise, a great accomodation even for travellers looking to have their own private bedroom like us.

It is a great place to visit Vík y Myrdal and its landscape.
I think there could be a little bit more done in terms of entertainment but besides that I think all was good.
Great kitchen with all things you need. They could replace some parts of the shower one of them didnt look too nice, but it wasn't that bad either.
I am not a fan of shared bathrooms normally but this was perfectly fine.

Very cosy and nice but rooms were too small for 8 people (we didn’t even have space for the luggages) and it got really hot as way too many people in the room
Kitchen was nice but not big enough for all the guests
Bathrooms iften without paper and not enough
Also while booking it wasn’t clear how many people would fit in the room

This is a hostel but feels like a Scandinavian Lodge and is just gorgeous. Thoughtful design and very user friendly… easy access to black sand beach and just lovely vistas!

Highly recommend!
Amazing stay at The Barn! The hostel was very new and clean. There was a full kitchen for guests to use, lots of chairs to lounge and relax. Great location and incredible views from the hostel. Was able to see the Northern Lights from the parking lot :)

Excellent location for a hostel. Didn't stay in the dorms, but the rooms punch way above their weight and exceeded expectations.
Love the proximity to Vik & Reynisfjara beach.
