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.

The best unique stay!
We loved our igloo experience! It was so cosy and it kept really warm despite the cold weather outside and the crazy winds. The heated mattresses and hot chocolates were particular highlights. An unforgettable experience ☺️

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.

Overall great stay. Lucky enough to see the northern lights. Only downfall was the curtains need to be a little bigger. By the time it goes around the bed and the door it leaves an opening about a foot wide. Also would be great if when prepping the room they left atleast 1 heater on. We got there and our igloo was freezing. Took about 20 minutes to finally start to warm up. The shared bathrooms were maybe a 45 second walk. Not far at all. Overall enjoyed it. Made for a great finish to our anniversary.

Unique stay! Wouldn't have more than two people in the space as it's small. The view is just a field and they didn't clean under the bed as there was a plethora of dead bugs underneath.

Unique experience, great way to be close to nature. Bit of a walk from the igloo to the bathroom and the parking area.

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!!

Wildlife/ beauty even in the windy rainy weather
Lovely way to enter the space by picking up a key and having a small fridge and glassware and clean amenities waiting. The horses and birdlife were really a wonderful addition to the midnight sun and the comfortable bedding and space was perfect!
A couple additions would make this space even that much easier: some composts or plates would have been great and maybe a wagon at the parking lot to bring things to the igloo would make for less hauling trips !
Finally the bathrooms were great; there just were not enough of them as there was often a queue for toilet or shower. Recommend adding a separate toilet only area!
Would love to come again during the winter!

Unforgettable experience
Outstanding experience! Everything was just perfect! Staff was super helpful and friendly too. Wish there was some sort of blind to cover the top but I guess this wouldn’t make the experience the same. Never mind, it was brilliant!
