Iceland All to Ourselves
This property made us feel like we had the best of Iceland all round us and it was just us. When you think/dream about Iceland you think peaceful, untouched, natural. From horizon to horizon beauty! This place had amazing views from the kitchen, dining, patio, and hot tub. Coming from a hot summer home to chilly Iceland we were acclimated to heat. This place had no lack for ways to heat the place. We had a cozy fire (easy to light). Plenty of bedding. The hots were wonderful and quick to respond to any inquiries! Thank you, we plan to return for more memories again!!

Magical and in a remote location! Stayed with our 2 kids (12 and 16), and had a great time. Everyone had their own space and the hot tub was a lot of fun in the evening. Shower was great and came with pods for the coffee. Would stay again at this one of a kind gem!

Great Stay!
Everything was as expected. The hot tub cover was a bit of a pain, especially with the weather the way it was. The straps were not easy to deal with when frozen and wet.

Beautiful but wet
The location and dome itself were beautiful. All of the accommodations were great, especially the hot tub under the stars. When we first walked in, there was a large puddle in front of the door. Walking into the dome we realized the rugs were soaked and there was water dripping in from the ceiling in one place. As the night went on, the puddle grew in front of the door and we ended up having to walk through the puddle to use the bathroom. We could not use the loft because the ladder was above the puddle and our feet became too slippery to safely get up. In the middle of the night, the water in the dome tripped the circuits and the heat shut off, leaving the dome very cold. We were able to get the heat back on. We had to get all of our belongings off the floor to keep them dry. Location and accommodations were wonderful, but don’t think we should have had to walk through puddles after paying as much as we did.

So Cool!
The dome is Selfoss/Borg is a must-rent! Not only is it in the middle of the most beautiful landscape, it has everything you need! Hosts were responsive and provided instructions for everything, which was appreciated! Let's not forget about the hot tub. That was perfect after a long day of sightseeing! Couldn't recommend it any more :)
