The bed was very comfortable and private with the curtains. The upstairs kitchen/common area is a good touch to step away from the bar area. Also got to see the auroras just outside the front door! Overall it was cozy and I was very pleased and would stay here again.

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 :)

Beautiful exterior of the building as well as interior. Nice having the bar there for any finger foods or drinks you may want. Showers were clean and large. My only complaint would be that the room was very small with very limited luggage storage for 4 double beds (8 people)

The room is nice and modern. The only thing is that the heater is not sufficient for the room. Bathroom has no heater so is too cold too.

First time staying in a hostel, super clean and tidy. Everything is well kept, nicer than a lot of hotels we stayed in in Iceland. Felt save and other visitors were considerate in our shared room. The only complaint was the heat. The shared bunks have a curtain you pull to keep light out ( lights in the room are always on) but it makes the bunk insufferably hot. Great environment but wouldn’t stay there again based on that alone, woke up sweating throughout the night. A fan in each cubby would make a world of difference (the heat was completely off 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!

The property is in a great location. Very short drive to Vik, and the black sand beach, which also has a restaurant. It is also away from lights and we were able to see and get great pictures of the northern lights!! The design is modern and trendy. The bar has great drinks and snacks. Breakfast was delicious. I loved the feel like I was at a friends house hanging out. There are games, cards, books, etc available for use. There is a projection tv that had a soccer game on when we arrived. Lots of places to sit and hang out in the lobby. Room was very comfortable and quiet.
