Magical, unique Iceland stay!

Overall magical stay! Cloudy weather for us but incredible views, you could see horses, sheep nearby. Coffee maker and mini fridge in room were helpful. Bed was comfy. Eye masks and earplugs provided were a nice touch. Sometimes hard to keep the flies out so def had to kill a few. One of the comforters was slightly stained. Easy to find off main road and close to gas stations and few restaurants. Great and would absolutely recommend a stay here!

Glamping under the stars

Nice glamming stay. Some issues (eg heater did not work, coffeemaker broken), but they fixed promptly.

Such a great unique experience. We got the igloo with the private bathroom which was worth every penny. We could lay in bed and watch the Icelandic ponies graze in the pasture behind. Each unit was very private with curtains to pull around for extra privacy. We were there on a hot day but the evening was cool so our unit was comfortable to sleep and the sleep mask provided helped with the sun. Recommend!

Issues with Igloo

We were excited to stay here and are not a picky couple. We think the idea and location is great, but the crack/rip in the floor I kept catching my foot on sucked. The shower is literally so tiny. The igloo was cool, but in the summer, the hot sun was not very nice and the AC unit couldn’t keep up. At night the heater wasn’t very good, blowing cold air. I looked up how to use the remote lol … the door was hard to lock and unlock. You have to lift the handle but no sign saying to do so. Finally, no housekeeping done and we were going to stay for 3 days but left a day early because it wasn’t comfortable. There was dust in the vents in the WC. The view is pretty, but an bit anticlimactic… just a field. Maybe it’s better in winter time, but it’s def more a glamping experience. Also, we had dirty/stained sheets and only 2 rolls of toilet paper for 3 days for two people. We ran out on day two and had to buy one. I’m glad places like this exist but if you are planning on staying, make it only one night. Oh, and the flies buzzing inside our igloo were terrible and I found dead ones under the bed. Could have been better with that. I slept in a tent on the Laugavegur Trail during this trip so I’m not a princess. I think they could do a lot better! We lost a few hundred dollars on this one. Go all the way to Vik and stay there. Much better accommodations there.

From the moment we arrived, the experience felt surreal like stepping into a dream. The igloo itself was cozy, warm, and beautifully designed with panoramic glass walls that made stargazing and watching the Northern Lights absolutely breathtaking. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, always making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. The amenities were top-notch, and we appreciated the little touches — from the local snacks provided to the thoughtful guide on when to expect peak aurora activity. This was one of the most unique and awe-inspiring travel experiences we’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that combines comfort, nature, and wonder — the Aurora Igloo is the place to be. We’re already dreaming about going back. 5/5 stars – Highly recommended! ⸻ Would you like to personalize it with details like location, season, or who you traveled with?

It was an incredibly unique experience with amazing views of the country side and the midnight sunset! The igloo was plenty spacious for two people and more private than you think. Easily cooled or heated, but be careful of the morning sun heating the igloo up! Highly recommend you give it a try!

Gordon, THE WOODLANDS

Firstly, the service room does not have a direction noted at the entrance to the poperty. The confirmation letter has a aerial photogragh however the view is not from the entrance. A highlighted road would be nice. The picture on Expedia depicts a unit with and attached shower and toilet. What I rented was just a bedroom dome. It was an experience. A very cold night with multiple restroom stops will not make you a happy camper. The igloo is like glamping. The service room offers toilets, showers, towels and specialty coffee machine. The internet has a choice of standard or 5G. There is no back up generator. We lost area wide power for a few hours after midnight. The igloo got extremely cold. The sleepless night caused a big rift in out activities for the next day. We called the provided number to ask how to find the service room to pick up our key three times. We called when the power went out. The calls were answered. There is no onsite personnel. Cleaning occurs in the morning. If towels run out in the evening you my be out of luck for a shower.
