Such a lovely, unique experience staying in a private ‘igloo’. Everything about the igloo has been well thought through. There are 3 heaters and electric mattress warmers to ensure warmth in the cold months. They were very effective. If the Northern Lights had been visible during our stay, we would have had the perfect view. Unfortunately, it was raining and very windy but I can now guarantee that the igloos are completely wind and rain proof!! There is more room inside the igloo than I’d anticipated, there was even a small table and chairs as well as a coat stand which was great for hanging a few things up. I had originally booked an igloo with a private bathroom but I was later given the option to either cancel my booking or change it to an igloo with shared bathroom due to problems with heating the bathrooms at the time. The shared bathrooms/service room was a portakabin with 3 bathrooms which had shower, sink and toilet and 2 separate toilets with sinks. There was also a small kitchenette area with a tea/coffee/hot chocolate station and an under counter fridge. Towels were provided. Everything was very clean and we never had to wait to use any of the facilities. In fact, we didn’t see another customer the whole time we were there. (Despite seeing other cars in the car park). Parking was easy, free and only a short walk from the igloos. We would definitely have preferred a private bathroom for our stay but still enjoyed the experience we had and would definitely recommend.

A great experience sleeping under the stars and watching 4hours of the Aurora. Stayed warm with the heaters and enjoyed a lovely sunrise. So glad we chose a unit with attached bathroom! Only issue was unlocking the door. Took several tries but finally unlocked even following the lifting up the handle instructions

After an initial issue of getting into igloo( key was not working and had to be worked on back and forth for 30 minutes) and not being able to get a hold of anyone after initial call, we got in and wow view and the auroras showed up and the view of the auroras and sky was beyond the purview of my vocabulary. Overall magnificent.

The igloo was lovely, very comfortable. We were sadly very unlucky with the weather - the wind caused an awful draft so it was very cold despite mutiple heaters. Was fine in bed thanks to the lovely heated mattress and thick duvet.

I liked the serene and unique environment of the igloo. The beds were quite comfy. The accommodations were very pleasant. However, one thing was that it was fairly cold and very windy during my stay. That only made going to the bathroom a little unpleasant, but besides that everything else was great.

We saw Northern Lights and could see the eruption of the volcano at Grindavik from our igloo. It was warm and cozy even at the end of November. The bottle of wine was a lovely touch also. We loved it!

We loved our igloo experience! It was so cosy and it kept really warm despite the cold weather outside and the crazy winds. The heated mattresses and hot chocolates were particular highlights. An unforgettable experience ☺️

Amazing place for a completely back to nature experience with all the little luxury add ons. Under floor heating, electric blankets - sleeping under the stars in the cosiest of places. Extra treat was the spectacular aurora borealis! If you visit Iceland this is a must visit spot.

Beautiful glass globes with wonderful views. We were lucky to see Nothern lights laying on our bed all night. What a show. The morning was glorious as well, with some handsome Icelandic ponies grazing in the idyllic fields. The igloo was warm with heated floors, and the attached bath unit was immaculate and ergonomically contructed, with coffe/tea, and a lovely standin shower. Highly recoemmended.

Overall great stay. Lucky enough to see the northern lights. Only downfall was the curtains need to be a little bigger. By the time it goes around the bed and the door it leaves an opening about a foot wide. Also would be great if when prepping the room they left atleast 1 heater on. We got there and our igloo was freezing. Took about 20 minutes to finally start to warm up. The shared bathrooms were maybe a 45 second walk. Not far at all. Overall enjoyed it. Made for a great finish to our anniversary.

Unique stay! Wouldn't have more than two people in the space as it's small. The view is just a field and they didn't clean under the bed as there was a plethora of dead bugs underneath.
