Backåkra Hostel

Stayed in this place for a week with my family. Absolutely great for the kids to run around. The kitchen facilities are great and the outdoor garden is really fantastic. Wifi is weak and not suitable for most things. (Not necessarily a bad thing if you want to be more connected to the moment). Rooms are adequate but would recommend thicker curtains for the summer months. All in all a great place to spend time with the family.

We only stayed here one night during our road trip trough Sweden, yet the impression was overall good. The structure has the simplicity that you would expect from a hostel, with basic facilities. The atmosphere is really quiet, the rooms clean and big enough, the common hall quiet and large. We had a nice walk in the surroundings (beautiful Osterlen hills) and could enjoy the evening in the yard. We found the staff very kind, and they were ready to welcome us even if we arrived a little over time. You of curse have not to expect too much, I repeat - this is a hostel! I would recommend it.

If you are in for something different, then skip the hotels in this region and go for Backåkra. This B&B is situated in and old school on the southern coast just a few miles from the wonderful town of Ystad on Österlen. The B&B is thus in the countryside, but what countryside it is! When you're there, walk across the street and take the narrow path up the hill to say hello to the cows. Continue on the slope down towards the coastline. At the camping place take right and get back to the main street, eventually. ||||The rooms are very basic, some large, some really small. No toilets in the rooms, they are all in the corridors. But who cares? This is like living in a commune in the '70s. Just fantastic!

Only reason this place is still around imho is because of the location.. they NEED MORE BATHROOMS.. and A REAL WIFI NETWORK that actually works.. rooms are clean and tidy but overall things are pricey and not sure what the money is used for...I would recommend avoiding this place if you can.

Nice location. Quite worn down but cosy breakfast area and good breakfast. Very simple cottage. No amenities. Not great service.

Extraordinary hostel, friendliest staff ever, awesome breakfast, very clean. Highly recommend!

Mycket fint vandrarhem med vacker innergård. Mycket trevligt bemötande av värden. Gott om plats, rena utrymmen så som kök och toaletter/duschar. Bra med handfat på rummen. Rekommenderas varmt.

Varmt rekommenderar att bo här. Trevligt Personal, mat var otroligt gott och nära till stranden. Barn undrar redan nu om vi kan komma hitt nästa sommar 🙂

This was a very nice hostel for our family of four. It is very clean, lots of light, and a fantastic large kitchen to use. (The garden area also looked lovely, but it was rainy when we were there.) Staff is available during limited hours, but they were helpful with us coming in late and giving a code to get the key. This is in a very remote, but gorgeous area. The nearest grocery store is 8 kilometers away. Ale's Stones are an incredible sight, as is the nearby Glimmingehus.
