"If you need a place to stay in Vik, this is it. Great for families and even though they do not have rooms for 4 people, they were very accommodating for our two kids with setting up a third bed in the two rooms. The game room is so good for the kids to unwind and relax and the staff were so helpful in everything we ask them to do. The breakfast buffet was fantastic and even though we did not eat dinner there, the food smelled great. Great staff, great location and perfect as a base to get to the East of the country (Hofn)."

"My husband and I enjoyed our room at the Barn. It was very much over our budget but we booked late and there were few options for a room with a private bathroom in Vik. Despite the expense, we were happy with the size and cleanliness of the space. Our room was set in a seperate single-floor building with just a few units, so it was quiet and also had a lovely view of the surrounding hills. It looked like a newer building but was a little worn in areas - stained blinds, some worn paint and a loose sink faucet. This didn't affect our 1-night stay but could be a small area for improvement."
