Beautiful landscape

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.

Very unique, my wife doesn’t like the dark, but this was a very cozy experience. She loved this .Didn’t get to see the aurora. (Cloudy) but I glad I still did it. Had the one without the bathroom, and it was a well lit path to walk on and graveled, showers and bathrooms seamed to be always available and clean

Wonderful

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

There was hair in the bed and there was as a small hole in the bathroom which made spiders to enter the room. We had to deal with them.

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 .

We had a magical time- it was gorgeous, and the details of the igloo was great. Just like the other reviews I read, we ran into problems of opening the door. Two other couples were checking in the same time and had the same issue. You should email your guests a video of how to open the door. We had a hard time getting OUT of our room as well.

Funny that door locks work differently here from what we are used to in rest of the world or atleast that was my opinion ( no offense ). hope someone agrees with me on this :-). We reached Aurora Igloo after completing Golden Circle, it was late and sort of close to 9:30 PM and it was chilly and windy. Fetched the key from the lock box but opening the door was a nightmare. It took us about approx 30 mins to open the door. When we called the number for help while still struggling to unlock, they said they have no one to come to help. perhaps, it was already too late by then. Thank heavens we managed to unlock otherwise we would have ended up sleeping in the car. Apart from this, rest of the stay was nice. Place was clean though compact. Visiting Iceland is like an out of this world experience, in that Aurora Igloo is an icing on the cake. Whole of my family fell in love with this place and stay here.

This was such a great experience. I hardly recommend it. But get the igloos that have the private bathroom. Also, it’s impossible to unlock the door or lock the door without seeing a video of how to do it. Ask the hotel for this video before you get there. All the guests were coming to ask other guests how to get into their igloo because it was so confusing.

Aurora igloo was an amazing experience. It was so quiet, the scenery was serene and one had plenty of privacy. The bed was comfortable with fluffy down comforters and a mattress warmer. The location is a short distance from landmarks like glaciers, puffins and waterfalls. A few restaurants, gas station and grocery stores are also a short drive nearby. Just up the street is Hella Caves, which was a unique tour here.

Unique stay experience. Our kids were totally charmed. The downside is that the igloos function like greenhouses so it was very hot in the day and afternoon. They do have air conditioning, which helps. But still very hot.

What a unique place to stay! We look for creative venues to stay in our travels and this fit the description. The sheep wandering by our igloo and the cows and/or horses in the distance added to the ambiance. We didn’t get lucky enough to see Northern Lites, but boy what an opportunity that would be to lay in bed and see these from your igloo! Very comfortable. Plenty warm with heated mattress pads and floors. Room was very hot upon arrival due to being heated by the sun in the day but cooled off rather quickly. The door opening and lock system does leave something to be desired though. We checked out the Aegissidufoss Falls down the road from the igloo. We also walked the Hella River Walk Trail. Very near the Caves of Hella and American Bus Cafe. Food options very convenient. Seljalandsfoss Falls approx 30 min away so could over nite location for exploring that and the Skogafoss falls another 20-30 min past that.
