Beautiful, peaceful, quiet location and a view of a glacier and the ocean. Close to Black Sand Beach and Vik amenities. Clean and stylish common areas. Good kitchen although there were no freezers available for guests. We had a private room. It was clean, but worn out in places. The bed was uncomfortable and sloped to the center as if people only slept in the middle of the bed. The door was very difficult to lock and unlock. The woman working the front desk was not helpful and was curt when asked basic property related questions. It was expensive for what it was.

Paid a hefty price for a place that has no available receptionist in the morning for checkout and no breakfast. The bar is loud and disturbing to guest rooms. Common bathrooms and kitchen do not make up for the price by any stretch.

The Barn is a lovely hostel and I highly recommend if you are wanting to stay in the area! The building is very modern and beautiful on the inside and out. The common area is very large with a huge kitchen and plenty of seating. The rooms are a little small but we were only staying one night so it wasn’t a problem. The bathrooms are spacious and the shower is great. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. There is a gorgeous view of mountains and the beach behind the Barn!
