The view from the room was incredible and all the property is very clean and nice, the bathrooms are very well equipped and super clean we didn’t had to wait to use them, we were lucky to see the northern lights from our room window, it’s very close to Reynisfjara and Vik, the food they sell is also very good.

It was a great experience. Place was clean and all amenities were there. Guests that we were sharing our dorm room were nice and it was amazing sharing the full working kitchen with people preparing different cuisines. It was a unique experience. It was pretty hot inside the hostel so we had to open the window.

First time staying at a hostel and it was a great experience! The Barn is very clean, modern, and has convenient amenities like daily refresh of towels, slippers during your stay, a bar on site, plenty of seating to relax, and they offer bar snacks up until midnight. The bed was also super comfy. We enjoyed opening the window and having the fresh Icelandic air come in. I would stay here again!

Beautiful property near waterfalls, root cellars and the town of Vik. Close to multiple black sand beaches. Restaurant and bar onsite seems good, no gluten free options, so bring your own food.

Nicest hostel I ever stayed, really top class. Great kitchen (everything you need to cook and clean) and common areas. Shared bathroom felt luxurious and clean. Not very far from Vik if you have a car. Lovely quiet surroundings. A gem!!!

Stayed in 4 bed double bed dormitory. Hostel itself was good just be aware of other people might not be respecting the quiet hours. People check in at mid-night and unpacking, keep moving luggage and open the light. Alarms and message notifications keep ring from 4am. Only barely got few hours sleep on and off.
