There was no storage space in our room. It didn't bother me, but if you're looking for a cupboard or a few drawers, this is probably not for you. The kitchen (which is otherwise well-equipped) doesn't have an oven, which is a bit impractical if you want anything baked.

The room and facilities were nice and clean, the location is just amazing. There's a waterfall right behind the house that you can reach with a quick hike. Check-in was really easy after I had figured out how it worked since there was no staff on site. But they had a good system to let you know what to do.

Walking there for twenty minutes with our luggage’s was a bit of a treck.

The vibe was very much in nature. It was a short walk from the main area which was nice. The staff was really nice and very easy check in.

Be aware: it is a hostel, some quests might be loud at arrival or leaving, the house is old and you can hear everything as well as the squeaking wooden floor planks and stairs. But that’s part of it. If you don’t like that go to another more standard and less special place.

I had a single room at the nearly 300 year old fully renovated red house. Beautiful location. From my window i could see the waterfall. Big well equipped kitchen. Staff very friendly and helpful. Everything cery clean (except for some quests who might flood the bathroom).

The bathroom on the main floor smelt terrible, like an outhouse. I believe, according to the log they had on the door, that it was only cleaned once while we were there for 4 nights.

It is in a beautiful location, it’s not too far from the main village area. The kitchen facilities are great.

It would have been helpful to know in advance which rooms were assigned to us. We had reserved a couple of family rooms and were given rooms 4 and 10. Room 4 boasted a lovely view, whereas the view from room 10 wasn't as impressive. Additionally, room 10 had only one window, resulting in limited air circulation. If there had been an option to view room images during the booking process, we would have likely chosen rooms with better views. While not a significant issue, it's certainly a feature worth considering.

Revisiting the same location after eight years brought about a wave of nostalgia, especially with my kids in tow this time. They absolutely adored the atmosphere, especially the presence of goats, sheep, and cows. The scenery was as beautiful as I remembered it to be.

Sound transmits pretty freely through the old walls. Be aware that there is no oven. (There is a hob and a microwave though).

We stayed in the red house which is a picturesque traditional Norwegian farmhouse surrounded by goats and cattle. It’s well appointed and clean with enough bathrooms and a decent kitchen. Beautiful surroundings. Easy self check in.

It’s very noisy, if you don’t like noise at night..then you’ll get irritated by the foosteps. There was a family with children when i stay, and they dont care of other people, the children keeps on running and playing at night and the parents does not care.

The location is a bit far from the train station but manageable. I stayed in the red house and the view around it is beautiful, its very near to the start of trail of the Waterfall. The kitchen, it is clean, it has 2 microwave oven and stove. You can something to cook in Coop near the train station. The Bathroom and toilet, its clean, there is two upstairs.

- way overpriced, mixed form with 6 very regular bed not stabilised - some mattresses are more comfortable than the other - only three bathrooms which could be an issue if too many guests but it was not when I went there - only salt / oil for cooking , no tea/ coffee

- Amazing location surrounded by nature, 20 minutes nice walk to the train station/ ferry port - Warm inside , good furnished kitchen, clean and comfortable bed sheets - Self check in was easy

Stayed in May 2024

The pillows and mattress were fine but could have been more comfortable. Also it was all self check in so it would have been nice to see our hosts on arrival and be greeted in case we had any issues and knew who to go to.

The location was beautiful - waking up on the farm with animals and stunning views all around! Bathroom even had underfloor heating! Very clean throughout.

I didn't know that it was unisex hostel sharing whichwas surprising

It was 15 minutes walk from the flam station. So location was good. Also there were tables outside the hostel facing the mountains which was great spot for relaxation.

A lot of the furniture was broken. There wasn’t an oven or toaster oven. Check in procedure was wonky and many people arrived confused.

Beautiful scenery outside. Very nice bathroom downstairs.

If you are a light sleeper take a top room- these are traditional houses that do not have carpets upstairs. We were not bothered at all but I guess some might be.

Location is amazing- just next to a waterfall that you can walk up in twenty minutes or so. Flam itself is truly magical and Brekke Gard hostel has a relaxed and friendly vibe. We loved it there..thanks.

Not really the hosts fault but the people sharing the building with us were super noisy late at night but also got up extremely early and did not attempt to be quiet. Squeaky floorboards as its all wooden but guests really do need to be quiet and more cosiderate of others at times. If youre a light sleeper this may not be ideal for you. Maybe "quiet hours" could be implemented.

Clean, cosy, private room. Beautiful mountain views with highland cows at the foot of the mountain. Peaceful area and short walk from centre of Flåm. Host on the phone was very polite and informative.

It was very noisy on a Saturday night, the place has very thin walls. I mentioned this to the staff and they weren't helpful. There was no oven (despite one being pictured), so all of my oven food that I'd bought to cover me for the bank holiday weekend had to go in the bin. Also no oil or salt/pepper or anything super basic like that for cooking. It was difficult to find the room after dark. I emailed ahead twice to ask about walking in the dark from the train station, and recieved no response. The phone number on booking also does not work. There was nothing to dry your hands in the bathroom.

Waking up to nature and the farm animals was amazing. It's like a fairytale norwegian house. The location is great, as is the the history of the building. It's very clean and tidy.

A connection with the village is just not there. You have to walk your way to the premises, which could be fine (if it is not raining) if one did not have to cross some main roads without crossing lanes. I understand such a matter is not in the hands of the hostel, but still: if you travel with elderly people or children, think twice about it. If you are the sporty/hiker type, then it's absolutely fine

The (red) ancient building is literally amazing! Great kitchen, great common room, great beds

I found the stairs are a little unstable. It's a challenge to move big luggage. Also prefer to have a few hooks inside the room.

I like the location of the Hostel and the surrounding areas. Also the design of the building.

Stayed in March 2024

their spare key system. Generally if its a hostel, each guest should be given a key and there should be central locking for open entrance door for safety reasons of luggage and other reasons

location is awesome between the fjords

There were no basic ingredients to cook (olive oil, salt, pepper). The room is very small and the small window has no curtain.

The location of the accommodation is close to the train and the ferry stations and you don't need to go to the reception to get the keys of your room which is very convenient. The shared living room is nice and the kitchen is convenient. Towels and bed linen are included in the price.

It was a very old building

The location and the vibe

Stayed in March 2024

Not unexpected given the price but some things to keep in mind - Sparse room with (in my case) slopping roof so not possible to fully stand up. As others have mentioned, sound carries so bring ear plugs. A second pillow would be nice and hooks in the bedroom (there were none) and more in the bathroom (there was one).

Very clean, communal kitchen, beautiful setting in the mountains beside a sheep farm. Easy check in/check out.

I would just provide with some basic things for cooking like salt, oil...

Lovely hostel. Great view and location. Everything was really nice and new.
