    Remember you are in a very fancy tent on the glacier lagoon rather than a hotel room :) All very clearly communicated so no surprise, but beware that the toilet is a fraction of an airplane toilet with no real door, there is no shower, and you need to be super careful with everything.

    A unique experience you will always remember. The private boat tour to the cabin with our guide Thomas was amazing. The view and serenity are second to none. The cabin is modern and clean. The bed is comfy. Temperature was great. The included food was delicious and so much.

    This experience is truly amazing. It's an adventure stay not just accommodation. You get a boat tour of the lagoon and glacier before arriving at your pod. Floating amongst the icebergs watching the sunset colours on the glacier and lagoon is priceless. The supplied food is generous but you can bring along a backpack of special treats

    It's incredible! Even went for a small boat ride first super comfy bed and they provide you with chicken and vegetable wraps and a small breakfast! It truly is a wonderful and breath taking experience. Over looking the glaciers from the Aurora pod was just mystic and the guides are super lovely! 🥰 thankyou!

    We had perfect weather, but I can imagine if it was raining or very windy it would be challenging and not quite as epic as it could be.

    This was an epic experience and location. The setting was surreal with the glacier ice falling into the lagoon. Unforgettable experience .

    No sugar for coffee; oh I forgot, nothing actually matters, really, because this truly is an amazing experience.

    Just stay here. You'll never forget it. There are three pods but they're hundreds of meters apart. You're basically alone on a glacial.lagoon in front of a glacial snout and icebergs go floating by.

    This was a once in a lifetime stay in a glacier lagoon with a view of the glacier. Since it’s light all night in summer we could enjoy the view all night. The hut/boat/igloos is cozy and warm and makes good use of the space. Bed was comfortable. Loved it! The boat ride to the accommodations was also so cool!

    Nothing. The only feedback I would give is to provide a pan for the stove top - it would have been great to be able to heat the burrito provided for dinner. Or maybe a toaster - it would have been nice to be able to toast bread provided for breakfast.

    The staff and location - both exceptional

    Im not trying to complain but it would be better if you could open curtains fully for this amazing view. Otherwise í enjoyed our stay 🥰🥰🥰 Check out way too early at 9:00 am . I wanted to enjoy my breakfast a bit longer with such a beautiful view ( Check out would be better at least 10 or 10:30 am )

    It was amazing to wake up with so beautiful view Food was delicious

    Wind was very strong (likes wind by typhoon) that should be careful the chairs/table placed outside can be blowed out into the lagoon. Before entering the hut, pls make sure you had visited toliet. I dont recommend leaving poo in the toliet of hut.

    A 15mins "private" glacier lagoon boat tour by experienced tour guide was provided before arriving the living hut. The hut was unexpected warm that creating a comfortable sleeping place in glacier lagoon. An wonderful experience we wake up by the sun rising reflected by glacier.

    There was a bit of a delay as the guides were prepping for our departure; but we were able to wait inside the restaurant and enjoy some hot chocolate and yummy cake.

    This is a truly unique way to experience the beauty of Iceland and specifically the Fjallsarlon lagoon. Our guide took us on a private tour of the lagoon on our way to the Aurora Hut. We celebrated our wedding anniversary with champagne and a spectacular view.
