    The location of the hostel is peaceful, offering stunning views of the surrounding village, coast, and mountains. Guests can enjoy a leisurely walk through picturesque meadows to the nearby village. the breakfast provided at a local cafe is a highlight, with a delicious farm breakfast including boiled eggs, sourdough bread, yogurt, and unlimited coffee refills.

    The hostel could benefit from some improvements in terms of the number of bathrooms and the kitchen facilities.

    I had a fantastic stay at a charming hostel in the picturesque village of Vik. The homemade breakfast was delicious and a great start to the day. The hostel had a cozy country feel with friendly animals around. The location was perfect, offering stunning views of the village, coast, and mountains. The rooms were functional and quiet, providing a peaceful retreat. Despite a couple of minor inconveniences, like shared bathrooms and limited kitchen utensils, the overall experience was wonderful. I would definitely recommend this hostel to others.

    The location of the hostel is ideal, with convenient access to Vik area attractions and easy walking distance to restaurants. The hostel offers wonderful views from each window, including a view of the famous black sand beach Vikurfjara. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with USB ports in each bed for charging devices. The breakfast is delicious, with a variety of options including fresh bread, waffles, and salmon.

    There are some drawbacks, such as the small size of the rooms and the lack of storage space for clothes and towels. Additionally, there are only two bathrooms for the entire hostel, which can result in waiting in line and inconvenience.

    I had a short stay at this cozy hostel in Vik and it was perfect! The bunk beds were comfortable, the bathroom and kitchen were clean, and the whole place had a homey feel. The location is a bit of a hike up the hill, but it's worth it for the beautiful postcard viewpoint from the cemetery. The included breakfast was delicious and had plenty of vegetarian options. a great value and a great place to stay in Vik!

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    The location of the hostel is excellent, being close to a stunning black sand beach that is definitely worth a visit. The shared bathroom, although basic, was clean and provided everything needed. The breakfast provided was satisfactory, with even waffles being offered as a treat.

    The lack of proper heating in the rooms was a major downside, making the stay quite uncomfortable for some guests.

    The common areas of the hostel were really stylish and well-appointed, adding a cool vibe to the stay. The staff was also very helpful and accommodating, providing excellent service. One of the best aspects was having access to a kitchen for food preparation, which was convenient for cooking meals. Additionally, the location of the hostel was excellent, offering easy access to key attractions in the area.

    There were a few negative aspects that affected my stay. the beds were not very comfortable and required us to make and strip them ourselves, which was a bit inconvenient.

    Great breakfast with fresh bread was a nice surprise. The common kitchen and dining area were clean and well-equipped. The location was fantastic, with beautiful mountain and sea views, and just a short walk to the center of town.

    The room was small and could not accommodate four suitcases. The roosters in the garden next to the hostel were extremely loud and served as an unwelcome morning alarm.
