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
Loved the stay and the view of the northern lights

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic experience sleeping in a clear igloo. We were able to fully enjoy the beautiful surroundings. It was like the best of glamping experience inside our fully enclosed and very comfortable igloo. Highly recommend!!
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.
