    Nothing

    Unique stay experience, while it was cloudy when we were there it seemed ideal for northern lights viewing. Wish we could’ve stayed longer, this had everything we needed from coffee and tea to little snacks. Bathroom was very clean. The place seemed very intentionally designed and would recommend. Clear instructions for navigation even in the dark.

    There was really nothing to complain.

    A very cosy place to stay. It looks amazing and they're giving a lot of attention to details. Even there was a shared bath room, it looked amazing. Vintage bath tube with shower. Just perfect. Bed was very comfortable and it was very warm. I was not freezing one single second. Really loved the stay and it would have been nice to be there longer.

    Valhalla Yurts is a fun and comfortable place from which to explore several areas of Iceland!

    There are a lot of house rules to follow which will work fine for adult couples and solo travelers but there are several types of travelers which won't be allowed to stay.

    Valhalla Yurts was a really lovely and unique accommodation for a reasonable price. Items offered for breakfast was generous and the whole place was super cozy and fun. The owners are super friendly and helpful as well!

    Before getting there I was worried about 2 things : 1 - the temperature inside the yurt : Iceland is quite cold and I was worried we would be freezing during the night. Turns out it wasn't an issue at all. There was a AC/heating unit inside the yurt that did an amazing job. There was also a fireplace and what looked like heated blanket, both of which were not needed as we stayed there during the month of June. The temperature was very comfortable and the host also made sure to check if we were OK. 2 - the bathroom situation : now, you cannot expect the Ritz-Carlton experience for the bathroom. It is quite "rustic". However, it was incredibly clean and overall a lot better than I could have expected. All and all, we had an amazing experience. There is nothing I can think of that was a letdown. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat.

    We really loved our stay. The attention to details was incredible. Usually when the breakfast is offered, it can be quite disappointing but the breakfast here was amazing. The bed was very comfortable, the host was friendly and the experience was truly one of a kind. We also enjoyed the location as it is very close the the golden circle attractions. I would love to come back and watch the aurora borealis through the yurt's ceiling.

    It is a bit tricky to find as Google Maps don't lear you there, but the hosts provide a detailed map with step-by-step instructions. The bath/WC is outside (obviously). Be careful when entering the bathtub as the curtain is not that stable (I'm so sorry for breaking it 🫢🙈), but the host repaired it in an instant. 😊

    The most unique and wonderful stay that we had in Iceland! We stayed for 1 night and had real luck that it was available. The yurt is mega cozy, romantic, warm and comfortable. It has everything you might need (contrary to one might think when you see a "tent"). The hosts live nearby and are so welcoming and kind, we're ever so grateful. An absolute must-visit for couples!

    Everything was wonderful and we knew what to expect in regards to the bathroom, but having a private bath would have just made it perfection.

    Such a unique choice that paid off beautifully. Everything was so comfortable and cozy. Breakfast was delicious! Highly recommend - A+++!

    All fine

    Very beautiful experience. The yurt provided a lot of comfort for a stay in the nature. It also provided enough space and plenty of options inside and outside for all activities, meals, enjoying the woodstove, and so on. The small terrace was also greatly appreciated for the breakfast. We also enjoyed the unobtrusive behaviour of the hosts.

    It’s not the easiest place to find, but the written instructions provided were helpful. I would say even with the location being where it is, it’s not in any way a deal breaker.

    Very cute!! Cozy and warm inside. Decorated nicely. We slept well and enjoyed the breakfast provided the next morning. Rick and Jitka are excellent hosts as well! Would absolutely stay again :)
