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

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!

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!

Amazing experience yet a few quirks
We went here as part of a family trip and rented 3 iglooos. Overall stay was amazing, but there were a few quirks effecting the overall comfort. One of the igloos didn’t have the air conditioning working, which left the igloo quite cold. Thankfully they had additional space heater in the room.
Size of the igloos is perfect for one person, but when two people space becomes quite cramped. Still manageable for light packers.
Final quirk was lack of wifi in two of the rooms. There was either a password or range issue.
Despite all quirks we would love to stay here again. It was great how they managed to create privacy and sense of seclusion in the igloos.

We had the most magical stay at the aurora igloo. If you are thinking of spending a night here, I would definitely recommend. This was definitely the highlight of my trip to Iceland. It felt amazing to sleep

Great night in the igloo. We only stayed one night and we had the BEST show of the northern lights. Overall great time. Not sure if I would have stayed more nights just due to the small area of the igloo and the non private bathroom /showers. But it was great for one night. Must do

It's really nice and we got to see the aurora at night but it's really hard to get the door to the igloo open.

Gorgeous stay in the dome!
We spent one night here as a fun novelty. Unfortunately it was cloudy, so we didn't see the northern lights or stars but that's ok! It was still a really fun quirky place to stay that was extremely comfortable and cute. Be aware: you can book an ingloo WITH or WITHOUT a bathroom. We booked one without a private bathroom so you have to walk a minute to the common building by the parking lot, it has multiple bathrooms and showers and a little kitchenette with a sink and espresso machine for use. It was like fancy camping. They had fresh towels, shampoo, etc. But we were surprised b/c we didn't read the fine print. Expensive but worth it for us for one night.

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!

The igloo was great. It was raining when we arrived but at 2am we did see the Northern Lights. Very comfortable and set up beautifully.

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.

Fabulous
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.

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.
