"We had a great time at this "igloo". Everything that was provided was just what we needed to make this stay special. I am diabetic and insulin dependent so was very happy to find a mini-frig to keep my medication cool and travel freezer packs frozen. Weather was clear and we were able to lay in bed and watch the northern lights and a star filled sky. I want one!"

10/10 Excellent
"The staff was very friendly at this hotel. The breakfast was ridiculously priced and had honestly pathetic offerings. Yet at the same on site restaurant, the dinner options were amazing and some of the best food we had in Iceland. The lamb stew, lamb steak, and fried fish were absolutely delicious. The parking was easy and more than one lot was available. The location is excellent but don't turn right if you plan to go anywhere. As of August 2027, at least, there is is major construction but if you go left you will get to the main riads faster."
