    Everything was great.

    Very cute and cozy hotel. Charming staff. Located in a plain with no one around but easy access to a town nearby.

    Nothing about this place. However, Iceland as a tourist destination is completely over-rated, very expensive ($20 for a veggie Subway sandwich) and very disappointing. Wasted our 5 days here - there are better glaciers in Alaska, or hot springs in Costa Rica. A lot of driving for very little upside - better cliffs and landscapes in Scotland, Ireland, India, and pretty much anywhere else

    Everything - very helpful staff, amazing location

    The hotel is simply and very stylishly decorated. The chalets had everything we needed.Fabulous shower. The food was excellent - breakfast buffet offered a very broad range of food. Dinner was also great, salmon fresh from the stream which runs behind the lodge, beautifully cooked. My husband lived the lamb After a long day trekking the hot tubs were a real treat. Best of all were the staff, all of them delightful but a special mention for Sigi she worked out an itinerary for us on the 2 days we stayed there plus printed off our tickets. Highly recommend this lodge

    The room was very cosy and had everything we needed (coffee machine with capsules 😍😍😍) The lounge and restaurant are very nicely designed. The staff were the most pleasant and accommodating. We had a dinner there that was delicious and also not too expensive.. what saved pur day was the hot tubs - after a long hike in wind and rain we were lucky to have this luxury and we were all alone and it was just magic!

    A real minor point - better blackout curtains for room windows

    The staff were delightful - engaging and informative (suggestions on local walks to river, salmon runs). The main lodge building was full of light, comfortable seating. Lounge space was great for a drink or to sit for coffee. Breakfast was superb. Layout of hot tubs gave privacy with stunning views. Rooms were tiny but well appointed. The walk along the East Ranga river and bird songs were soothing, with great views of Mt Hekla.

    Aurora is our favorite hotel in Iceland! It is just sublime. The picturesque location, very comfortable rooms for excellent sleep, absolutely delicious breakfast with buttermilk pancakes, and of course, the wonderful staff. Highly recommend taking advantage of the hot tubs and enjoying an aperitif in the cozy lobby.

    The cabin experience with a great view of wide outdoor expanse was wonderful but the sound proofing was inadequate. There were eight rooms per same roof and the neighbors sound could be heared especially walking sound.

    All the staff were so kind and provided top level services. Both breakfast and dinner meals were excellent. The lobby, the bar and the restaurant all had very comfortable ambiance. Facilities and and amenities were very good. Easy checkin and checkout processes.

    it’s really a cool place!! highly recommended, with super comfortable nice rooms, fully equipped, in a wooden frame, stylish and easy to find, in a wonderful spot. The main building with reception has an attractive look and the attention to details is exceptional. The breakfast is served at a top level, with all you can wish, delicate scrambled eggs, delicious blueberry muffins. The location is perfect for a long stay or just a show up for fishing. Go on this way!!!! 👍🏻

    Absolutely amazing stay- this was our favorite hotel on our vacation. The rooms were nicely decorated, the bed was so comfy. The free hot tubs were wonderful after a full day of hiking. And the breakfast- the tiny pancakes and scrambled eggs were to die for, and so many options of other breakfast foods. I would recommend this hotel to anyone in a heartbeat, and hope to come back.
