The reception of arrival was far from warm. The condition of the main staircase was not really great, narrow winding steps and a banister that was unstable. The rooms are basic, to be expected in a hostel, and the beds comfy. Staying with other hostel guests who left their rooms doors open made the stay slightly uncomfortable.

Ok accommodation, rooms are tiny and its quite noisy at night as the walls are paper thin. The kitchen area is well equipped and there is a communal area to relax in.

An old building located at Vik town. Our room on Level 3 and the only way was to climb up a spiral staircase. It was really a challenge for us to bring up 2 L Size luggages to the room. The room is narrow and beware of the door height which easily hit your head.

Great rate for simple rooms. We had a smaller room, but it was exactly as described. The hostel was very clean. And the common areas were very clean. Will stay again!

Not a bad place to spend a night, the bunk beds were loud every time you moved. Overall, I’d stay here again

Older building with narrow stairs to climb the 3 floors. Rooms were small, walls were thin, it was clean.
1.0
The room is too small, only 8x6 square feet,so it’s very uncomfortable. It didn’t worth it with the price. Also the staircase is too narrow and steep. It’s totally unsafe to travel up and down with luggage. Other than that everything is clean.

The hostel/hotel is clean and affordable though you must consider these are hostoric buildings and therefore old and small. Beach is beautiful (volcanic), the town is nice except close to the beach where many buildings need a make up and have scrap. Vik is a good stop for food and gas.

5.0
Puffin hostel was so lovely and quaint. The kitchen and common areas were frequently cleaned. Vik was a really lovely area and it was easy to walk to everything or drive a few minutes to see waterfalls and black sand beaches!

The property is old and looks like its not well maintained. The bottom of the bunk bed is sunked in the middle and very noisy when you move a little bit.

Room was clean and warmed quickly, stayed 2 nights in end of December. I booked a private room, was a very basic room (as expected for the price, which I didn't mind), size of a closet. Smaller than a twin bed. If your looking to save money and just need a place to sleep, this is the place. You can hear people in the hallway, I'm a heavy sleeper so it didnt bother me. Only stayed there to sleep since I was out exploring the beautiful area.

Great location. The smell in the lobby was strong.

Super nice reception, very pleasant! Room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Stayed in a two twin bed room. Showers, bathrooms on main floor have all been remodeled. Pleasantly surprised about the stay, more than I expected for the price. We also cooked dinner in the well-stocked guest kitchen.

Everything was good. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was big and clean. The staff was very friendly and the toilets and shower were all clean.

Our room was on the top floor, and the toilets were a long way from the room down several sets of stairs.
There was also a lot of noise between the rooms, which was not caused by others being particularly noisy, just poor sound insulation.
The kitchen was well equipped and there was a large dining room. The showers were modern hot and clean, although you had to walk through the boot area to get the showers.

Old building. Very thin walls that you get disturbed by any noise in the corridor or ground floor. Only 4 showers and 4 WC for the whole hostel.

The Puffin Hostel was clean and the staff were very helpful. However, it was very noisey with people going in and out of their rooms doors at all hours of the evening. Also, the stairway to the upstairs was very narrow and required you to carefully navigate or you would tumble down. The hostel kitchen had everything need to cook and clean up. Bathrooms and showers were hostel style, shared with everyone, family style. The living arrangement is highly dependent on everyone respecting each other to make their stay comfortable.

Enjoyed my stay. Single room was very basic as I knew - bed, table. Comfortable enough though. Good kitchen. Parking on site. Only one thing would be good - some signs reminding people not to make a lot of noise in the hallways and another plug socket.
