Great spot for exploring the area! Having the bar downstairs was excellent, the kitchen was well stocked and roomy enough for multiple people to cook at a time, and the views were great! Bathrooms were mostly clean but were frequently out of TP/paper towels. Overall a great stay!!

Modern, clean and comfortable room that is a short drive from Vik. Excellent facilities, especially if you want to cook your own food. Unfortunately, our shower ran out of hot water 2 nights in a row.

The biggest thing to be aware of is that there are no locks which was a little surprising when sharing a room with 12 people. The lobby and kitchen and bathrooms are quite pretty

Amazing staff, nice fixtures, and classy for a hostel. This place is always clean and plenty of bathrooms and sinks to accommodate the constant turnover of guests. There is diversity of cultures spanning all age groups. I would stay here again.

Amazing. The best view. The best room. The best location. The best staff. The best price. My first hostel in over 30 years. It was the best. I stayed in a room with a bathroom. It was immaculate. The bed was comfy. There was a large television geared up.with Netflixs. A small spot for tea and coffee. The bathroom had a clean shower. The shower gel left a lingering lavender scent. The bathroom mirror huge.

Pretty but very pricey.
Aesthetically very nice, but not nearly enough bathrooms upstairs by the rooms, always had to go downstairs. Also super expensive for what you get.

We splurged a little to stay here and it was a good move. Rooms are clean and insulated, so you don’t hear your neighbours. Kitchen amenities were great. Staff were helpful and kind. Very good experience!

A great option in Vik
A very nice property. Pretty expensive for a hostel, but par for the course in the Vik area. Our room was very comfortable and the food in restaurant/bar was tasty and reasonably priced. Would gladly stay here again.

We found the bedroom and bathroom spaces to be clean. The staff were all very friendly and the surrounding area is beautiful. For staying in a communal hostel room, we felt like we still had a lot of space to ourselves.

Lovely property with nice amenities. Lacking heavily in security. Rooms, and facilities are not secured by any key, key card, or visible security. Anyone can walk right from the front door to a bed without any restrictions.

The views and the location were absolutely stunning. Along with the views, the silence and seclusion of the location is perfect. The interior of the barn was aesthetically pleasing. My room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable after a long 10 day trip it was just what I needed. The staff was also very welcoming and friendly. They were helpful with assisting me with recharging my cell phone due to not having a proper charger. I highly recommend the barn, and will definitely be returning soon!

Sleeping areas had closing doors to separate out noise from communal areas (we stayed in a double room). Kitchen was full featured with small bar fridges for sharing, so get in early. Room was a bit warm.

We stayed in the hostel, every bed had a curtain which made it private, evertything was clean. the bedrooms where very nice and the bathroom also, they had a bar and board games for the night. The hostel is near the village, we liked it a lot.
