Really enjoyed our nights at the Barn, for a hostel the conditions were amazing and it was great having such a good kitchen and dining space to use. Also handy for Vik town and standing out looking for Northern Lights.

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.

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.

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 great place to stay if you’re looking to stay by Reynisfjara Beach or Vic. The kitchen is very large with plenty of seatings and the beds very comfortable although I wish the top bunk wasn’t slanted because I kept hitting my head on it. Showers are clean, however are oddly located where you have to go past the lobby with all your belongings. Watch out for rocks on the driveway. Overall good value for what you pay

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.

Staff was very brisk, but facilities were clean and accessible. Slippers should be sold on site for visitors without their own, or instructions prior to arrival should include a note to bring your own. Given the snowy conditions during my stay, the parking lots should have been cleared a bit for safety if nothing else. Otherwise, a pleasant stay. (Dress down a bit because the heat is turned up very high)
