“During our one week trip in Iceland we saw northern lights only from here,”
Based on its name we expected to see aurora borealis, and even when we arrived in the evening we had green lights on the sky and we enjoyed them for hours. Northern lights were not dazzling or dancing, rather changing slowly, but we were happy to watch them and we did not have to pay the same amount for a northern light hunting tour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne_2hgnlTes&list=PL5L6cB9QhS7lQRxhGlMDYG9zhc11Grw25&index=7

“Good concept but needs a bit of TLC”
The location and remoteness of the property was great. The bed was comfy and there was plenty of space in the dome. Unfortunately the high winds and rain didn't allow us to use the outdoor seating space but there were a couple heaters.

This was a super fun and cosy experience. The Dome was very nice and warm. Great location for doing all kinds of activities and the views of landscape surrounding it are just something else. Highly recommended stay.

“Incredible”
Incredible. Just book it! Very cozy, would recommend to anyone. There is a gas grill outside under a roof with gas fireplace and an outside heater, very easy to cook your hotdogs in any weather!

“Amazing views, cosy dome tent, facilities could be better.”
The staff were wonderful, incredibly friendly and attentive. The location of the dome was great - we had stunning views of northern lights both nights we stayed - and amazing views from the bed when we woke up. The heaters keep you warm inside despite the cold outside.

“The stay was great with lovely view of the mountains”
The Dome was well equipped with all you needed - but outdoor lighting didn't work, which took a bit of the coziness away from the dinner we planned outside. The outdoor shower was warm but with freezing wind it could be better wind proofed.

“It was an unique experience”
the dome was clean, bed was okey. There are few options to heat the dome. Wc and shower is just a few steps behind and clean. barbeque area was cool. Special thanx to Javier and Jessica who runs the place :)

“Maybe in warmer months...”
I expected a lot of this accommodation, but in the end, it failed to succeed fully. The location is nice, the dome is interesting, heated toilet, nice, and you got all you need for your stay, but not on needed level... The outside area is nice, the outdoor setting looks good but it was too cold for usage Also, the housekeeping crew (Javier, if not wrong) is amazing!
