Was a great location with an amazing view when we woke in the morning. Couple of notes .. food is not close , school Bus coffee stop a must and when you take a hot shower close the door to the dome to avoid fogging up your dome. Highly recommend

Very nice, clean place to sleep. I wish the igloos were alittle farther apart, we saw more of our neighbors than we wanted to!! They thought of every little thing and made sure you were super comfortable!

This place is awesome! Warm and cozy, they thought of everything. Eyemasks to block out sun and earplugs if needed, shampoo and conditioner, a common area with showers and coffee if you dont get a room with a bathroom connected, gorgeous view. When we checked in, our code was initially wrong and the second room was confusing but the host was immediately available and very helpful when I called. WE LOVED IT! :) thank you!

This place was 'knock your socks off' amazing! It was so cute. It was so clean and cozy. They had a letter written to us about places to eat and grocery stores near by- You cannot beat this place! If we come back to iceland- we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Such fun even on non northern lights season. Watched horses all night long. Perfect restaurant down the way called The Barn! Divine. Get the fish special. Travelled with two other couples. Our heater didn’t work, but both of theirs did. Was perfect for a fun experience different from a hotel room. Would do it again even solo for the serenity!
