Backåkra Hostel

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!

En liten idyll med gemytlig atmosfär! Enkelt inrett, fräscht och fint. Frukosten var mycket god med en del hemlagat och ekologiskt. Trevligt mottagande och ypperligt läge på Österlen. Kommer gärna tillbaka och rekommenderas varmt till andra👌

Ett väldigt bra och trevligt vandrarhem. Enkelt men rent och fräscht rum. Ett plus var handfatet i rummet. Mycket härlig trädgård och frukostbuffé att köpa till. Fina gemensamma utrymmen och mycket trevlig personal. Vackra omgivningar. Rekommenderas starkt.

Mycket familjärt och trevligt vandrarhem i gammal skola. Fantastisk trädgård, fräscht och rent- trevligt värdpar.
