Aurora Igloo South

Great check in and out process. The igloo was great. Having the private bathroom was necessary. Overall, great experience.

Second time staying at this location and will continue to come back

Beautiful property! Clean, cozy and very unique! Check in was a little strange - there is an international number, on a sign, to call when you arrive. That is how you find out which igloo is yours and how to enter, etc. I was a little worried, but the phone was answered quickly and check in went smoothly. Very neat experience! Would return!

This was a beautiful experience to see the northern lights. However, the self check in was a bit confusing. I wasn’t aware of the process. I was expecting to see and speak with a live person. However, the number given for help was very helpful.

What an incredible unique experience. I loved having hte bathroom attached and to have a cozy bed to climb into. Note that there are few space heators to turn on and even a heated bed topper which i didnt see until the morning. It would be great to have a welcome note that talks about all that and if they did I may have missed it. One caviat is that despite it was cool to see the auroras from bed, it was suprisingly bright when you stepped out your door to capture it. It should be common practice to say turn off your patio light at night to create a darker enviroment for photos.

These igloos were so cool! Our only issue were the door handles. The property had to provide instructions on how to use the handle and it was not real helpful. We were standing in the snow freezing trying to follow the instructions. It took so long we had to go sit in the car for a few minutes to warm up. I imagine this must have been an issue for others which explains the instructions and it was equally hard to get ok of the room each day. I would suggest changing the handles. It made us feel unsafe to be stuck inside not able to get out.

Wonderful place and services.

The view was beautiful

It was a really nice experience, room was warm with three heaters and also included heated beds. Had some beverage sachets such as hot choc, coffee machine. Included shower amenities with towels as well. Bathroom was clean and warm as well.

Not too far from the city and amazing views of the Northern Lights! Great options. Staff is friendly and they do a good job keeping you comfortable.

Nice to see the Northern Light on the both night I stayed. But the igloo is way too cold in the Winter and this Winter is not as cold, even with 3 heaters on plus very loud, I couldn’t hear the phone ring or alarm. Other than that — more basic amenities in the room, would be nice such as body lotion or a robe. And no clear instruction on how to lock the door from the inside or outside. Struggle opening the door when came in. It wasn’t bad after figured it out.

Such a beautiful and unique concept. We really enjoyed our time at Aurora Igloo South and the Northern Lights did not disappoint. Would definitely stay here again.

I could not have asked for a better place to stay than the Aurora Igloo South to top off our Iceland experience! We spent the evening staring up at the stars being wowed by the dancing Northern Lights appearing all around us. In the morning we watched the sun come up and admired the view with our coffee. I had requested the extra package for a bottle of champagne and chocolate for £35 - completely worth it! ✔️Easy to communicate with via Expedia app ✔️Straight forward to find and access Igloo ✔️Clean ✔️3 heaters and heated bed if required ✔️Storage cupboard for clothes/suitcase with cubbies underneath we put our shoes and backpacks in. Importantly - coat hooks!! (Really winds me up when anywear lacks a coat hook). ✔️Coffee machine with 4x pods, 4xcreamer sachets, tea bags, 2x chocolate sachets ✔️Mini fridge ✔️We found the bed and especially the pillows super comfortable - so cosy I struggled to get out in the morning ✔️Private bathroom a good little size with complimentary toiletries Only a couple of recommendations/things to be aware of... ☝No kettle, just the hottish water from the coffee machine which wasn't sufficient for our big thermos so I had to stop later on at a petrol station to fill that up ☝No microwave/cooking facilities to heat food/soup etc. Again, I realised this on route and stopped at Selfoss Nesta to hear our food ☝No spoons or any cutlery - which I hadn't thought of at the services! Luckily I had a random disposable fork in my bag 😆

What an experience! Honestly just amazing and will be back on a clear night. Plesse do check out the restaurant nearby called the Barn. Amazing

Finding the property location was easy (even after sunset). It’s a beautiful property, small m cosy. Due to space constraints it’s hard to open up 2 luggage. Water pressure in shower area is small and hot water is not consistent. Parking is provided, however if your igloo unit is far away then your will have a hard time carrying your luggage there. Overall I will still give this place 👍. Environment is so serene and pretty. Wake up to nature. Room are so cosy. Perfect for couples. Well done 👍

Room was clean and the view was stunning. When you book here, you are booking 100% for the view and the experience.

Not spotless but not dirty. Flooring needed multiple repairs. Shower big enough for a 12 year old but not for anyone else. If you are more than 4 feet tall and over 80 pounds, good luck with the shower. Overall experience was out of this world as we were able to see the Aurora Borealis two of the three nights. Staff was very responsive to our calls.

Lockbox frozen shut, but eventually got into it. Then the door’s lock was also frozen and worked inconsistently. After about 10-15 minutes of jimmying the lockbox and door, we eventually got in. Then locked the door from the inside, found that we couldn’t unlock it. Called the host to tell them we were trapped. After maybe 20 minutes they showed up. After they struggled with the door, they eventually got it unlocked. Together, we couldn’t come up with a way to consistently operate the lock. Also reported that the heater wasn’t working. When it was determined that it was not possible to fix either issue, I asked for another room. They said they were fully booked and couldn’t move us. So we had to keep the door unlocked and cold all night long. Feeling unsafe, I stayed up all night to watch over my family. Not at all the luxuriously restful experience I thought I’d paid for. When our nextdoor igloo stayed vacant all night, I felt extra lied to about “fully booked.” It seems what the host meant was “if I switch rooms, I won’t be able to rent your room and make revenue from it.” When the cleaning crew showed up in the morning at our checkout time, we told them about the door and the heater, they said they knew and acknowledged it was a longstanding issue. The igloo is such a cool concept, but I’m extremely disappointed to have paid as much as I did and not even received a restful night’s sleep, and even more furious to have been gaslit by the hosts.

Amazing experience! Very clean!

Amazing hotel - so easy to find and park! Comfortable bed, spacious bathroom considering it’s just an add on to the dome. Perfect way to see the stars or the northern lights if you’re lucky!!
