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 :)

This is the hostel that makes you want to be a solo traveler. The property was very nice, new, and had a modern feel. I'd love to come back and spend more time there!

Cleanest hostel I've ever stayed in! Showers and bathroom area were incredible. The other guests were quiet and polite. We enjoyed playing Icelandic jenga (tummple) in the lobby! Only complaint was that the guest kitchen was quite crowded but that only means that the space is well-used and well-equipped. Would stay again!

The Barn was our second place we stayed in Iceland, and it was superb! The king room was spacious and clean as well as very modern! I loved the shower and all of the lighting and especially the covers that could be brought down to reduce the light from the windows and doors. The staff was amazing and laundry service was also worth it! We played games and drank at the bat and it was a happy and overall fun experience!

2/10 Poor

There are unknown black dirt on our bed linens when we arrived. We felt itchy after sleeping for one night. There is only a rain shower but no movable shower head in the shower (though there is a holder for the shower head). Just shows how little efforts they made in this place. The room is insanely cold. The heater is too small for the high ceiling.

Feedback. Bathrooms did not have any place to place toiletries. A shelf needs to be added.

10/10 Exceptional

It was definitely one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at and everything was perfect. If I were to find anything for the sake of constructive criticism, I would say that it would be nice to have some holder compartment by each bed for storing one’s glasses or phone.
