The Barn was a great place to stay on the South Coast. It is a short drive to Reynisfjara, which I recommend checking out (hopefully it is less windy for you!). It is also not a terrible drive to the dock to catch the ferry to the Westman Islands. So those are both great things. The place was a nice size, with a spacious common area with plenty of seating. The kitchen was well-organized and clean, with modern appliances. We stayed in a mixed dorm, which was on the cozy side but had plenty of hooks to hang things. They also had blackout curtains on the bunks, which was nice. The doors don't have any locks, which made me a bit anxious, but nothing happened and it is easy enough to just keep the real important things with you (or in your rental car if you have one). Overall, a nice place to stay.

A very busy hostel and the kitchen gets very crowded depending on the timings. Be informed that a bed could mean a double bed and fhere is no non mixed dorm.
The hotel staff were understanding to change our dorm room to private room due to booking issues.

“I would stay again but pay the extra for a private room.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 1 night
The shared rooms were a bit too small and cramped. Fitting 8 people was too tight. I have stayed in many hostels with shared rooms and have never had as little space.
Facilities were awesome. The Barn in general is beautiful. The kitchen is incredible, the bathrooms and showers were awesome.

Everything was delightfull. Clean kitchen. Nice beds. Fresh sheets and towels. Lovely nature. The only thing I missed was facilities to dry my wet clothes. Drying cabinets or such. Other than that, I really enjoyed The Barn, and would recommend it warmly.

“Dorm rooms are all mixed”

- • Stayed 1 night

The hostel is advertised with mixed dorm and not mixed, we booked 6 beds non mixed dormitory room to only find that it means 6 double beds (not single beds) and we were placed in mixed dorm of 12 people. The staff moved us to another smaller room with 8 mixed people instead after we voiced our concerns.
Quite a clean hostel considering the number of guests that stay.

If you have heavy baggage, remember to park in front of the entrance first. Otherwise it's a bit of pain on the gravel parking lot.
The dark environment around the hostel is a bonus if you are interested in star skies. It also has very nice modern interior design.
