Nice Glamping experience with some caveats

Stayed in the summer and very impressed when I arrived at the unique space and bathrooms. There was lots of closet space and a fridge! It was actually hot in August (66-68 degrees, tank top weather). When I pulled back the curtains, huge flies everywhere. Killed at least 6 and still some. Also, my glasses changed to dark the whole time, so lots of UV exposure in there (can close curtains, but top open). Warming blankets, so toes warm at night when cold. Overall an interesting experience save for the two negatives above.

Wonderful and unique place to stay. Make sure to get the igloo with the bathroom. We were surprised how clear the dome was to see the stars and we were so lucky to see an incredible aurora from the comfort of our bed.

Beautiful landscape

The view was incredible with wild horses running during sunset. Weather didn’t cooperate for northern lights viewing. The booking wasn’t clear on the bathroom situation, so we had booked the separate bath house mistakenly. Would recommend booking the built in bathroom as there is also some space to put luggage.

Wonderful

We had a great stay at the Igloo. Very comfortable, clean and warm. Hot water felt wonderful. While tiny - it was everything we expected. Had we not had rain and clouds it might have been a great opportunity to see the Northern Lights

There was hair in the bed and there was as a small hole in the bathroom which made spiders to enter the room. We had to deal with them.

This spot is AMAZING! The dome was easy to book and find when we arrived. Communication was great & the check-in was seamless. Surprisingly private too. We booked the dome with the attached bathroom. We were hoping to see some of the Northern Lights, but a combo of cloud cover, a full moon and low aurora activity nixed that - regardless still an amazing experience .

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.
