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.

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!!

The igloo was a little small but very clean and nice, the heated bed was amazing!! Weather was not on our side but do not regret our stay.
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!

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.

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!

We had a great stay at the Igloo. Very comfortable, clean and warm. Hot water felt wonderful. While tiny - it was everything we expected. Had we not had rain and clouds it might have been a great opportunity to see the Northern Lights

This spot is AMAZING! The dome was easy to book and find when we arrived. Communication was great & the check-in was seamless. Surprisingly private too. We booked the dome with the attached bathroom. We were hoping to see some of the Northern Lights, but a combo of cloud cover, a full moon and low aurora activity nixed that - regardless still an amazing experience .

Staff was great. Very clean. Wonderful amenities. Grocery across the street. Amazing bakery two blocks away. 5 minutes from Sky lagoon. Would stay here lots.
The view was incredible with wild horses running during sunset. Weather didn’t cooperate for northern lights viewing. The booking wasn’t clear on the bathroom situation, so we had booked the separate bath house mistakenly. Would recommend booking the built in bathroom as there is also some space to put luggage.

I could not have asked for a better place to stay than the Aurora Igloo South to top off our Iceland experience! We spent the evening staring up at the stars being wowed by the dancing Northern Lights appearing all around us. In the morning we watched the sun come up and admired the view with our coffee. I had requested the extra package for a bottle of champagne and chocolate for £35 - completely worth it!
✔️Easy to communicate with via Expedia app
✔️Straight forward to find and access Igloo
✔️Clean
✔️3 heaters and heated bed if required
✔️Storage cupboard for clothes/suitcase with cubbies underneath we put our shoes and backpacks in. Importantly - coat hooks!! (Really winds me up when anywear lacks a coat hook).
✔️Coffee machine with 4x pods, 4xcreamer sachets, tea bags, 2x chocolate sachets
✔️Mini fridge
✔️We found the bed and especially the pillows super comfortable - so cosy I struggled to get out in the morning
✔️Private bathroom a good little size with complimentary toiletries
Only a couple of recommendations/things to be aware of...
☝No kettle, just the hottish water from the coffee machine which wasn't sufficient for our big thermos so I had to stop later on at a petrol station to fill that up
☝No microwave/cooking facilities to heat food/soup etc. Again, I realised this on route and stopped at Selfoss Nesta to hear our food
☝No spoons or any cutlery - which I hadn't thought of at the services! Luckily I had a random disposable fork in my bag 😆
