    There were a lot of steps up towards the buubbles. We had been traveling for a week and had a big suitcase - be prepared for minimal things in a backback only to save some hassle.

    Fantastic customer service and location. Very clean facilities. Great glamping experience.

    This was the most beautiful glamping experience ever. What's not to love about waking up underneath the sky. Beautiful location close to selfoss and lots of the attractions. Brilliant facilities and a lovely warm welcome

    There’s only steps from parking to the room. Was fine for us but be aware in case you can’t handle steps.

    Great place to be alone and the buubble was so cozy.

    Car park had turned into an ice rink and was a bit small. Hooks in the bathrooms are slightly broken. The air inside the bubbles is very dry but I don’t know what could be done about that.

    Amazing location. Very quiet and sheltered from wind but with great views. Away from light pollution too.

    Couple small IKEA end tables next to bed would be nice.

    We had a great stay. We lucked out after mix of clouds and snow during our visit to Iceland. The night we stayed was totally clear. And then we had a great show of Northern Lights. David, the host, came to get us and told us the best place to see them. Unbelievable experience.

    Magical vibes, great location for viewing northern lights, walkway up the hill into the woods was pretty, very comfy bed. There was a great view from the hill to see the northern lights and got lucky with clear sky's. It also felt good to sleep with a view of nature in the safe harbor from the wind.

    It was magical! Hands down our favorite thing we did on the entire trip. We saw the northern lights lying in bed through the clear roof. The bed was heated and very comfortable. The caretaker was so kind and gave great recommendations for places to eat near by too.

    We loved it. It was a pretty steep staircase up to the bubbles, so might be difficult for people who struggle with that.

    It was unique and made our visit to Iceland special. The staff was helpful and showed us around upon arrival and showed us around. The bubble was adorable and very clean. We loved the little lanterns leading up the path to the bubble.

    Our buubble was somewhat crowded by overhead trees, so the view of the sky was limited and a bit disappointing. Most other buubbles that we could see has much less trees overhead.

    Very cool stay. Being able to sleep on the most comfortable bed with the view of the sky overhead is just amazing, even with the inconveniences of not having a private bathroom.

    It would be nice to have bathrooms attached to the bubble or private bathrooms. It also would be nice if the check in times weren't so rigid.

    The staff was very friendly when we entered. The beds were the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in! It was nice that we could not see any other bubbles or people that were also staying there.

    The draining of the service house’s shower rooms is not working so well. Had to stop the water running for a while or else I was afraid I would flood the place.

    Considering how secluded the place is, you would be surprised by how clean, warm and well-ventilated the sleeping bubble is. The staff took great care to make the sleeping space neat, clean and beautiful. Its a once in a lifetime experience you will not forget.

    They desperately need to improve the facilities. There are two toilets up on the hill, but for shower or coffee/tea you have to come all the way down to the container. In the container, there are two toilets and two showers, and the space on the narrow corridor is very tight so you brush up against other guests as you try to approach a stall. Two showers is absolutely not enough for nine rooms. There were only three rooms' guests getting ready that morning but we had to wait for the shower for about 20 minutes, standing in the tiny kitchenette, while someone was blowdrying their hair a yard from us, and another guest was repacking their intimates on our other side. All in all, it felt more like a crowded campsite, so while the bubbles themselves were great, the experience didn't quite justify the hefty price tag.

    The location was good, just a couple miles off the highway. The property is very intimate, we loved the stairs leading up through the forest, and the paths taking you to the bubbles. The bubbles themselves were also great - clean, warm and well spaced so they provided enough privacy while being fully transparent.

    Nothing to complain about.

    Beautiful area, quiet. Other people who booked the bubbles did not bother us, we could not hear them from our bubble. Clean. The guy who cleaned after our stay was very nice.

    The bubbles don’t have a lot of privacy (obviously!) as people walk on the trail to their own bubbles or to the bathroom.

    Awesome experience!!!

    This was the highlight of our lodging stays during our 2 week trip to Iceland. It rained the evening we were there and it was simply divine to lay in bed and watch/listen to the rain fall all around us while looking into the pine trees and the sky. Sigh.....

    Its really hard to find something that we didnt like it, maybe something they can improve is to serve breakfast, of course with additional price.

    The expectation to be in the middle of the forest, in a cozy and warm room, enjoying the view to the sky full of stars, and the chance to see northern lights was exceed from the hotel.
