    There was only one restroom so at times had to wait.

    Clean property. Unit came with heater and blankets and was dark which is important in summer when always light outside! Linens extra. Kitchen in common area large and well stocked.

    Nice solution for Iceland tour

    I would suggest to do something on pod's window to seal better because even if we visited Iceland end of June, this week temperature where around 5-6 degree and cold air was going straight to our heads 😀, but for rest everything was comfortable

    If you make Island tour with tent this is a good solution to warm up and sleep comfortable for one night. POD solution is nice and cozy, in the middle of nature and silence. There's also nice big kitchen with living room where you can cook and relax.woth a cupole of tea. We had also the possibility to use the washing machine which is a nice plus in the middle of 11 days tour. Reception staff very gentle

    We had a fantastic Aurora show the night we were there.

    We were there when the weather was 0c. The little space heater in the pod couldn't keep up and the covers were too thin. We slept in our clothes and tried to stay warm all night. Other than cold though, I was thrilled by the place.

    Bang for buck this place was awesome. It was everything I expected it to be. The bathrooms were better than I had hoped; clean, well lit, flushy toilets, shower stall. The adjoining reindeer park was a bonus. The reindeer came to the fence to greet us but appeared annoyed when we were empty handed.

    A bit pricey for the offer: we have used nicer huts in more popular areas. The huts were really tiny. The bathroom in the woods put a few people off but it is in fact clean and nice.

    Nice camping experience, especially thanks to the nearby reindeer park and the Arctic foxes. Large kitchen. Two bathrooms with shower (in the woods and the main house).

    Two toilets/showers for three camping pods might be too little sometimes. But more are obviously under construction.

    Very cosy and warm camping pod within the reindeer park. Very well equipped communal kitchen even with coffee and washing machine. Family run.

    Shared spaces were a little bit disorganized and not thoroughly clean , but we had everything we need for cooking so in the end it’s ok

    Great experience ! The pod is so nice and cozy, and guess what: the cold is not an issue !

    Bathrooms were both in poor state -- the bathroom close to the camping pods was quite smelly and the bathroom at the kitchen/community room (further away) was less smelly, but not clean. Also the kitchen area needed attention, there were recycling bins totally full that needed emptying.

    Glamping pod was very cute with simple furnishings. Clean, no odors, easy check-in with key code sent via email.

    Small, tight spot for a one night stay. Ideal for ring road travel.

    The pods are small and hard to ventilate; especially hard to live around. WiFi is only available in the common areas which is a 2/3 min walk away. While not far, in the cold Iceland temperatures this makes a difference. Same issue with going to the restroom during the night (this is also outside).

    Location is good for those doing the ring road. Price is excellent compared to similar lodgings in the area. The lodging is clear in what in provides in its descriptions - ensure to read it to know what you are receiving. Good spot for a one night stay.

    We did an upgrade to the guesthouse because a kitchenette was available there. Unfortunately the kitchenette is only some dishes (pretty ok for two guests) and a microwave oven.

    Super friendly staff, nice environment, reindeers to visit.

    Not comfortable, I have booked for a double bed and there were single beds. Bathroom and kitchen could be better in terms of facilities and cleaning. Finally, it's cheap comparing other accommodations in Iceland, but it doesn't worth the price.

    Price, interesting structure in pod, self check-in.

    I'm not sure why this place has bad reviews. The pod was clean, warm spacious. There are no linens provided,you have to pay extra but we had sleeping bags. When we arrived there were free linens. The bathroom is old but clean, you can see the reindeer from the bathroom. The kitchen is well stocked and clean as well. The view from the pod is also nice

    The outdoor bathroom was a little dirty and could need some love.

    Very cozy, exactly what you expect from a camping pod. We loved it especially with the reindeer park next to it. The people running it are incredibly friendly and caring. Would definitely recommend!

    There was no bed sheets/duvet, only a woolen blanket that had the smell of been used and not washed, long hairs inside the cabin from previs guests and on the bed (with lots of other small hairs in the bed) the shared bathroom/washroom was poorly maintained, and high gene not the greatest... driving to the pod put us off straight away as bins were overflowing and trash outside if the bin

    It was warm,quite easy it locate

    The shower and toilet in the big building could really do with an upgrade. The exposed plumbing is unsightly and the shower area looks very shabby.

    Everything! Immaculately clean. Well equipped kitchen and dining space meant we were able to cook our evening meal.
