We had a great time at this "igloo". Everything that was provided was just what we needed to make this stay special. I am diabetic and insulin dependent so was very happy to find a mini-frig to keep my medication cool and travel freezer packs frozen. Weather was clear and we were able to lay in bed and watch the northern lights and a star filled sky. I want one!

An absolute wonderful stay. The best in Iceland. The staff was helpful and understanding, the igloos were immaculate and well designed, free parking was great and a big deal when travelling Iceland and great shopping right next door. Thank you!

A very unique experience in a glass igloo! Would love to stay again in the dark of winter but beautiful even with only 3 hours between sunset and sunrise.

The Aurora Igloo was our favorite hotel while in Iceland! The uniqueness and setting could not be beat. It was conveniently located from the Ring Road and was set in a beautiful meadow with horses and cows grazing from afar. The sunset was beautiful. On the east side, you could see the snow capped mountains. While there was no restaurant on sight, there were options not far away. The host left a welcome note for us providing all information. There was plenty of heating, so we were never cold. The bed even had a remote controll heating feature, but we did not need it. The bedside lights were adorable! They provided a coffee maker that included coffee, tea and hot chocolate. There was even a mini fridge, which we didn’t see often in other hotels. The shower was very narrow but adequate. The only thing missing was a shelf to put toiletries and a bath mat. Our only disappointment was that there had actually been northern lights visible the evening we were there according to our neighbors, but we didn’t think to look for them as it was August. Next time, we will be on the look out for sure!

A wonderful and magical place. Recommending this to everyone visiting Iceland. Don’t plan anything in the evening, just stay in the igloo and enjoy the sunset and the serenity.

8/10 Very good

Igloo was a really cool unique experience. What stood out was the location and the size of the washroom. It was much bigger than I expected. Very clean. I think the only feedback I have is that it would be nice to have a cover for the roof. No cover on the roof sounds great for Aurora but during summers - the sun sets at 12 am and rises at 3 am. So there is no blackout sky. Early in the morning; the sun comes directly into the room and it gets very annoying because there is no way to avoid it. The room also gets very hot because of this. But that being said it was a good stay and what made it special was we got to see the midnight sun with horses right next to our igloo.
