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.

The igloo was clean and comfortable and had everything that we needed. Parking was very convenient. The igloo made THE PERFECT place to see the Northern Lights which were right over head! We were able to find everything we needed for food and drinks in nearby Hella. Excellent stay!

This was a truly wonderful property and such a novelty, however some of the facilities were lacking somewhat compared to a hotel, for example space in the shower. Having said that it was perfect for our stay - truly cosy & romantic and we loved it! The electric blanket was a lovely touch!!

Wonderful and unique place to stay. Make sure to get the igloo with the bathroom.
We were surprised how clear the dome was to see the stars and we were so lucky to see an incredible aurora from the comfort of our bed.

It was an amazing experience. The room was cosy with heaters, a heated mattress and cosy lights. We saw the northern lights on display for about 2 hours looking straight out from the comfort of our bed. Highly recommend!

Finding the property location was easy (even after sunset). It’s a beautiful property, small m cosy. Due to space constraints it’s hard to open up 2 luggage. Water pressure in shower area is small and hot water is not consistent. Parking is provided, however if your igloo unit is far away then your will have a hard time carrying your luggage there. Overall I will still give this place 👍. Environment is so serene and pretty. Wake up to nature. Room are so cosy. Perfect for couples. Well done 👍

Not spotless but not dirty. Flooring needed multiple repairs. Shower big enough for a 12 year old but not for anyone else. If you are more than 4 feet tall and over 80 pounds, good luck with the shower. Overall experience was out of this world as we were able to see the Aurora Borealis two of the three nights. Staff was very responsive to our calls.

Loved this experience! So glad the weather cooperated and we saw northern lights while laying in the bed. The first night we had a rainstorm and it was so cool to listen to in the igloo. Everything was clean. Heating was adequate. Floors were heated and bed also! I would definitely stay here again!
