    Minor inconveniences No ventilation in the toilet. The upper bed gets heated more than convenient when the stove is on.

    Location. Loved the clamping experience. I was skeptical but proven wrong. Exceeded expectations

    Public place just in front of domes No jaccuzi (given the price) Not that easy to make fire and to maintain overnight (it was very cold that day) > a pellet stove would be more pertinent Price was way too ecpensive vs global service / offer

    Hot when we arrived and only way to cool room down was to open door. Got cold at night and fireplace started off well but did not stay lit as intended.

    Great room. Clean and well appointed. Impressed.

    We enjoyed our stay but the rough track to the dome lets it down

    The track to the dome needs some work, its ok if in a 4x4 or a car with high ground clearance. unfortunately we ended up with a £700 bill from the car hire firm due to damage to the under side of the car. 3 off us had to get out of the car and walk down the track so the car didnt bottom out so much.

    4 of us stayed here end of Feb. Lovely cosy place to stay, comfortable beds, lovely fire with plenty of fire wood. it did get very hot in the bed on the mezz. unfortunately it was cloudy and snowing so didn't get to see the northern lights.

    Our dome was the first one by the parking lot. That meant people constantly were flashing their lights into our windows trying to figure out where to go because you couldn’t drive up to the dome. Then a group of people stood in the parking lot talking with their lights on facing us. Ours was the first dome and we had to drag luggage up to the dome because you can’t drive up to it. If you were the 3rd then it was a farther haul. One of the space heaters didn’t work but it was still nice inside.

    The property was beautiful! Very secluded.

    Amazing glamping experience next to the Icelandic forest in a peaceful location. The glamping pods felt very luxurious, with modern facilities. If it hadn't been cloudy we would have had a fantastic view of the night sky!! It was my husband's birthday and the owner had gone out of their way to make it feel special including a beautiful chocolate cake and Champagne for our arrival, totally unexpected !! Thank you so much for making our stay feel so special.

    With Iceland's variable weather, there is a challenge to drive out of the property because there is a steep hill. More frequent gritting could easily solve this.

    The property is beautiful. It sits secluded in the woods, the interior is delightfully decorated and measures are taken to warm the property where feasible. I used it as a location to propose to my partner and it was picturesque in all the right ways.

    There was a minor glitch with accessing the property because of a frozen lock, but the maintenance crew fixed it in 15 minutes.

    The overall experience of being in a cozy dome in the winter in a storm was super. It was warm and comfy in our bubble, kids had an amazing time, and we the parents even found a bottle of wine for us. Highly recommend.for a couple or a family of four like us

    Shower/ bathroom flooded due to drain being frozen with large block of ice. Husband had to attempt to drain water. Not ideal for an expensive night away and not expected on holiday. Our friends stayed too and electricity when in the morning when trying to get ready. Contacted property to let them know of same. Still awaiting reply Also gets very cold if you don't keep fire going throughout the night. Potential for better heating system.

    Secluded location ideal for couples. Nice for one night. An experience especially if you are fortunate enough to see the northern lights. welcome bottle of wine and a kitchen well equipped. Fire with plenty of wood provided.

    Cosy and comfortable but let down by a couple of things.

    There was a mouse in our dome. Some basics like English breakfast tea bags and a small milk would have been good. The big trucks parked in front of the domes are also a massive eye-sore and completely ruin the view. They are very expensive and the view and lack of a few basic things don't add up to that cost.

    Loved the dome and the fireplace. Was very cosy in there. Unfortunately it was cloudy so we couldn't see the lights outside.

    There was a mice in our bin which was less than ideal. There were no matches to light the log burner so we had to wait over an hour for someone to bring us some after calling the number three times. Didn't ruin the overall stay but not perfect go en the price.

    My daughter loved it. The dome was the highlight of our road trip. It was spacious, well designed and comfortable.

    Another space heater would be helpful. Also another lamp. Water from all the rain had come in on the door mat and it was soaked.Also the large trailers in front of the domes blocked the lovely views

    It is unique, quiet location, fun experience.

    Bed was rather hard and uncomfortable but I still got a good night sleep. The dome could really do with some hooks- there was nowhere to hand wet towels and wet jackets so they ended up being draped over chairs etc

    Great modern finishings. Felt very new and clean. Close to the Golden Circle highlights but also just a short drive from Selfoss for its great dining options.

    There was no way to cool down the air temperature. We are cool sleepers.

    The experience of being in a dome with 4 star amenities inside was so fun. A welcome bottle of wine was a nice touch too. We also enjoyed the fireplace but then we got too hot to sleep.

    We were expecting the domes to be in the middle of the forest, but they actually are facing the camping ground with two big black sleeping trucks right in front of the balcony. Not a valuable view for this kind of luxury glamping.

    Sleeping in a dome is a must-have experience. The space is beautifully designed with a focus on efficiency, comfort and luxury. We really appreciated also the complimentary wine!
