We had a magical time- it was gorgeous, and the details of the igloo was great. Just like the other reviews I read, we ran into problems of opening the door. Two other couples were checking in the same time and had the same issue. You should email your guests a video of how to open the door. We had a hard time getting OUT of our room as well.

Funny that door locks work differently here from what we are used to in rest of the world or atleast that was my opinion ( no offense ). hope someone agrees with me on this :-). We reached Aurora Igloo after completing Golden Circle, it was late and sort of close to 9:30 PM and it was chilly and windy. Fetched the key from the lock box but opening the door was a nightmare. It took us about approx 30 mins to open the door. When we called the number for help while still struggling to unlock, they said they have no one to come to help. perhaps, it was already too late by then. Thank heavens we managed to unlock otherwise we would have ended up sleeping in the car. Apart from this, rest of the stay was nice. Place was clean though compact. Visiting Iceland is like an out of this world experience, in that Aurora Igloo is an icing on the cake. Whole of my family fell in love with this place and stay here.

This was such a great experience. I hardly recommend it. But get the igloos that have the private bathroom. Also, it’s impossible to unlock the door or lock the door without seeing a video of how to do it. Ask the hotel for this video before you get there. All the guests were coming to ask other guests how to get into their igloo because it was so confusing.

Aurora igloo was an amazing experience. It was so quiet, the scenery was serene and one had plenty of privacy. The bed was comfortable with fluffy down comforters and a mattress warmer. The location is a short distance from landmarks like glaciers, puffins and waterfalls. A few restaurants, gas station and grocery stores are also a short drive nearby. Just up the street is Hella Caves, which was a unique tour here.

Unique stay experience. Our kids were totally charmed. The downside is that the igloos function like greenhouses so it was very hot in the day and afternoon. They do have air conditioning, which helps. But still very hot.

What a unique place to stay! We look for creative venues to stay in our travels and this fit the description. The sheep wandering by our igloo and the cows and/or horses in the distance added to the ambiance. We didn’t get lucky enough to see Northern Lites, but boy what an opportunity that would be to lay in bed and see these from your igloo! Very comfortable. Plenty warm with heated mattress pads and floors. Room was very hot upon arrival due to being heated by the sun in the day but cooled off rather quickly. The door opening and lock system does leave something to be desired though. We checked out the Aegissidufoss Falls down the road from the igloo. We also walked the Hella River Walk Trail. Very near the Caves of Hella and American Bus Cafe. Food options very convenient. Seljalandsfoss Falls approx 30 min away so could over nite location for exploring that and the Skogafoss falls another 20-30 min past that.

This was an amazing experience, even in the height of summer! It was the best place we stayed in during our trip! It was very clean, comfortable, and had such good attention to detail (included eye masks, ear plugs - though that was unnecessary since it was very quiet, and a nice note on where to get breakfast). The igloo was warm when we arrived because it was such a sunny day, but opening the vents made it a comfortable temperature in no time. During the night it did get cooler, and the heater was necessary. They also had heated mattress pads, which we didn't need, but I can see being great in the colder months. The private igloo is definitely the way to go, though with it's own bathroom and shower. We were very comfortable the whole time there and will be recommending it to everyone!

Unique experience and tranquil view of horses

What a unique experience! Views of the horses and landscape made for a relaxing and tranquil stay. Would recommend you keep most of your belongings in the car and just plan to change, shower, etc in the communal area.

Great spot, beautiful accommodations but no commutation that would result in resolving the issue: door did not lock from the inside, leaving us being in an open field on someone’s farm property with room, unlocked. The issue was never resolved, although they sent 2-3 people who did not solve the issue and left.

It is a place like no other. Very cool concept and off grid but close to nearby town location. Few Icelandic attractions 30 minutes away. Waterfalls and DC3 wreckage. Very clean and well organized amenities. Nice showers, hot water, espresso-coffee machine to start the day with your favorite one. Igloos are fantastic, comfortable bed and fresh, crisp white bed linen. With the right weather seeing northern lights would be magical. Self checkin and checkout and very responsive, english speaking staff if you had any questions.. Absolutely recommend for tourists looking for something different from a typical hotel..
