Absolutely exceeded our expectations! Away from the roads, surrounded by open fields and horses, you get stunning views right outside your room door. The food was phenomenal. We didn’t eat anywhere else because we enjoyed it so much. The staff was kind and so welcoming. I want to go back to Iceland just to stay here again.

This place was such a gem! Loved it! We loved getting drinks and going in the hot tub! The walls in the room are in so just beware, hopefully you don’t have neighbors like us who are up all night talking loudly, but either way it was still a great stay

Lovely quiet location. The room was cozy and welcoming. There is a wonderful view of the landscape from the lobby/bar, making it a perfect place to relax with a cocktail in the evening and do some birdwatching in the morning. Great breakfast included.

It was a last minute booking for us. But no regrets at all, excellent cozy place. Amazing staff. Rooms are simple and cozy. The lodge is far from the city lights and helps a lot if you wanna spot the northern lights. Plus, they also have 2 hot tubs were you can enjoy at night seeing the northern lights.

This hotel is in a convenient spot right off the ring road. It is easy to find, and was well stocked with needed ammenities for our stay. The breakfast was excellent (we loved the espresso machine), and we appreciated that it came free with our night’s stay. Be forewarned- the walls are thin and noises carry!

When we turned off the road toward the property, we thought our GPS wasn't working. It looked like we were going out into a beautiful, remote area with nothing but views. True, except for the wonderful cabins and main area of this property. Really nice and quiet and remote with beautiful views everywhere. A short drive to local eateries and a great stop on the tour of Iceland

Enjoyed seeing the amazing view of the Northern Lights every night we were there. First from the hot tub, then above my cabin. The next night from the main lodge! I had an amazing Mojito while I enjoyed the view! The staff were kind, and accommodating, breakfast was very good also. Thank you for a great stay!

The hotel experience everyone hopes for

Our stay at the Aurora Lodge only lacked a viewing of the Northern Lights - not their fault, obviously - otherwise we would easily choose overnight of our nearly two week visit to Iceland to be as well taken care of as we were at the Aurora. For us, they set the bar in terms of breakfast options, especially for so small of a hotel. The room was comfortable - easy to get to. The people were friendly and helpful. If we make it back to Iceland - we WILL make it back to the Aurora - a national treasure in our book.

The area is okay, but can tell the property is a little bit rundown with creaking floor sound and thin walls. Certain parts of the floor are also rotten and old. Toilet is very small as well. But the reception area is beautiful and the breakfast is the best we had throughout our trip. The staff are rather nice as well.
