We stayed here for one night, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Aurora Borealis while sleeping under the open sky. It got cloudy, so we didn’t get the spectacle we were hoping for. However, this didn’t diminish the experience of sleeping among the trees in a cozy, warm bubble. It was –2°C and it even snowed during the night, but the warm air blown into the tent, two blankets and an electric blanket made sure we stayed perfectly comfortable. And luckily for us, we did get to see the northern lights on our drive up to the parking lot beforehand.

The property is beautiful and quiet. We love to see horse on the property when woke up and paid us a visit outside the tent. The tent itself is cozy and comfortable. Highly recommended for people visit Iceland.

The bubbles are located up a short hill in the forest, the service hut is excellent - very clean, warm and facilities to make hot drinks, greeted by friendly host who explained how to get up to the bubble. They felt very private once we were there as they were a good distance away from each other. They had heated mattresses and we stayed in October and it was cold even with the mattress but we came prepared for this with extra layers. It really is a once in a lifetime experience we amazingly had a clear night so were able to stargaze seeing shooting stars through the roof of the bubble and to top it off we saw the aurora too. It’s an experience and we would highly recommend it but pack warm clothes if going in the winter!

Loved this very unique stay! It was cozy and wonderful to wake up to seeing the trees overhead. It's a bit of steep walk from the car so just be prepared for that!

This accommodation was lovely experience to be closer to nature! It was definitely beautiful. I think it would have been cooler if we had more views or landscape to look out into. Otherwise, the bathrooms and room itself were very clean. The shared amenities were lovely and to use and clean as well! Definitely a cool experience. We also drove to Selfoss food hall and had some good food and ice cream that evening. :)

Unique experience! You walk up a magical path through a forest of trees and little lights and fake candles to your designated bubble in its own secluded spot. The bed was comfy with beautiful extra wool blankets that we didn’t need because it was so warm inside! Looking up through the trees to the sky was amazing. There are clean toilets with sinks and mirrors halfway there too. In addition, there are more toilets and showers at the bottom of the path by the parking area where you check in. There is also a place to wash dishes if needed and get coffee and lots of towels for the shower. We were greeted when we arrived and left by four Icelandic horses and their foals next to the parking area. We were also greeted by very friendly staff upon our arrival and departure.

Absolutely charming, unique accommodations in the Icelandic wilderness. The igloo itself was surprisingly well accommodated, and honestly, the bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept. That heated mattress is something else and it put us in the perfect peaceful spot to watch the magic of the northern lights. Delightful!

It was really a magical experience! The woods were like an old European forest and provided plenty of privacy. There was a short hike to get to the bubble though so pack light. We did have a problem where the heat went out, and it was unable to be fixed until the next morning. That really put a damper on my wife's stay, but the hosts were gracious and allowed a partial refund.

We really enjoyed the experience even though there wasn’t an aurora the night we stayed. We slept great and It was wonderful to wake up in the morning and see the forest around us. We were greeted by staff at the service house and shown the facilities which were clean and inviting then escorted to our buubble. The hike up the hill was a little strenuous but not bad, just enough to make you think twice about going back down the hill unless it was necessary. There was a clean restroom facility at the top of the hill which was extremely convenient. The buubble was heated and had individual mattress heaters, warm enough that we actually got hot during the night.
