Overpriced and terribly managed

The directions to the property were quite bad. When using our car’s GPS we discovered that the last 15 mins of the drive has a permanently blocked road and we had to take several dirt backroads to get there. Once we finally got there the power went out at midnight. We followed the instructions to get the power to turn back on and it was still out. Light was still coming from the house. It wasn’t a power outage but rather it seemed like the owner just shut the power off to our tent. The only way to communicate with the owner was via email. Spent 3 hours freezing in the tent. Finally got to sleep and then the lights and power came back on at 3 in the morning. No email was sent in response. No apology offered for the power being turned off. Then every morning we were woken up around 7 to construction noises. Incredibly overpriced and terribly managed.

Summer Night in the Dome

The dome is a beautiful, unique accommodation. Inside was very warm with an abundance of blankets and a very comfortable bed. The outdoor shower was an interesting experience. We could hear atvs driving up and down the road in the afternoon, but the owner can't control that. Overall, it was a very nice experience.

About the host

Hosted by Stefán Guðjónsson

My name is Stefan and I have a travel business in the North and here in the South.
I bought my little summer house and land in 2018. On the small hill where the Dome is situated, I always dreamt about having something there to enjoy the view of this area. When I saw this Dome on the internet, I thought this would be the perfect thing and I love the outcome.
My friends and I love to stay up there and I am also very happy with the small outdoor sitting area. It happened more as a coincidence that the outdoor sitting area and patio were "born." The same goes for the outside WC and the shower. We had plans to build it further away for other people to use as well but then it just felt right to have it there and so it was done :-)
I hope you enjoy your stay!
Best wishes,
Stefan
