Nice to see the Northern Light on the both night I stayed. But the igloo is way too cold in the Winter and this Winter is not as cold, even with 3 heaters on plus very loud, I couldn’t hear the phone ring or alarm. Other than that — more basic amenities in the room, would be nice such as body lotion or a robe. And no clear instruction on how to lock the door from the inside or outside. Struggle opening the door when came in. It wasn’t bad after figured it out.

I could not have asked for a better place to stay than the Aurora Igloo South to top off our Iceland experience! We spent the evening staring up at the stars being wowed by the dancing Northern Lights appearing all around us. In the morning we watched the sun come up and admired the view with our coffee. I had requested the extra package for a bottle of champagne and chocolate for £35 - completely worth it! ✔️Easy to communicate with via Expedia app ✔️Straight forward to find and access Igloo ✔️Clean ✔️3 heaters and heated bed if required ✔️Storage cupboard for clothes/suitcase with cubbies underneath we put our shoes and backpacks in. Importantly - coat hooks!! (Really winds me up when anywear lacks a coat hook). ✔️Coffee machine with 4x pods, 4xcreamer sachets, tea bags, 2x chocolate sachets ✔️Mini fridge ✔️We found the bed and especially the pillows super comfortable - so cosy I struggled to get out in the morning ✔️Private bathroom a good little size with complimentary toiletries Only a couple of recommendations/things to be aware of... ☝No kettle, just the hottish water from the coffee machine which wasn't sufficient for our big thermos so I had to stop later on at a petrol station to fill that up ☝No microwave/cooking facilities to heat food/soup etc. Again, I realised this on route and stopped at Selfoss Nesta to hear our food ☝No spoons or any cutlery - which I hadn't thought of at the services! Luckily I had a random disposable fork in my bag 😆

Finding the property location was easy (even after sunset). It’s a beautiful property, small m cosy. Due to space constraints it’s hard to open up 2 luggage. Water pressure in shower area is small and hot water is not consistent. Parking is provided, however if your igloo unit is far away then your will have a hard time carrying your luggage there. Overall I will still give this place 👍. Environment is so serene and pretty. Wake up to nature. Room are so cosy. Perfect for couples. Well done 👍

Not spotless but not dirty. Flooring needed multiple repairs. Shower big enough for a 12 year old but not for anyone else. If you are more than 4 feet tall and over 80 pounds, good luck with the shower. Overall experience was out of this world as we were able to see the Aurora Borealis two of the three nights. Staff was very responsive to our calls.

Lockbox frozen shut, but eventually got into it. Then the door’s lock was also frozen and worked inconsistently. After about 10-15 minutes of jimmying the lockbox and door, we eventually got in. Then locked the door from the inside, found that we couldn’t unlock it. Called the host to tell them we were trapped. After maybe 20 minutes they showed up. After they struggled with the door, they eventually got it unlocked. Together, we couldn’t come up with a way to consistently operate the lock. Also reported that the heater wasn’t working. When it was determined that it was not possible to fix either issue, I asked for another room. They said they were fully booked and couldn’t move us. So we had to keep the door unlocked and cold all night long. Feeling unsafe, I stayed up all night to watch over my family. Not at all the luxuriously restful experience I thought I’d paid for. When our nextdoor igloo stayed vacant all night, I felt extra lied to about “fully booked.” It seems what the host meant was “if I switch rooms, I won’t be able to rent your room and make revenue from it.” When the cleaning crew showed up in the morning at our checkout time, we told them about the door and the heater, they said they knew and acknowledged it was a longstanding issue. The igloo is such a cool concept, but I’m extremely disappointed to have paid as much as I did and not even received a restful night’s sleep, and even more furious to have been gaslit by the hosts.

The igloo looked beautiful and was equipped with a portable space heater and electric heater. Our electric heater did not work. The igloo was covered in ice on the inside. We called to ask for extra blankets, heater or alternative room and were denied everything. We asked for them to send someone to see the issue themselves and nobody came. We ended up having to warm up in the car. For spending a lot of money, you would expect their heater work in sub zero weather. We came from Chicago and know what cold is and how heaters work but the staff refused to believe us or provide us with any accommodations to warm up.

This was a truly wonderful property and such a novelty, however some of the facilities were lacking somewhat compared to a hotel, for example space in the shower. Having said that it was perfect for our stay - truly cosy & romantic and we loved it! The electric blanket was a lovely touch!!
