Overall Ratings & Reviews Magma Hotel

We loved our stay at the Magma Hotel. It was serene and made us feel like we were truly experiencing the calm of Iceland. The cabins are a good size with stunning views, the beds were super comfy, and they provide binoculars which we loved since there were so many unique birds in the pond we overlooked! The staff was very welcoming and helpful which was reassuring since the location is decently far from a city/town (Kirkjubaejarklaustur has a small grocery store but the hours are a bit limited and it's the only town for miles). Having breakfast included is a luxury and was very convenient before starting our long days of exploring. There were a lot of different options. The location is also convenient as it allows you to be an hour closer to Vatnajokull National Park than Vik. We would definitely stay here again!

Overall good but no telephone service in room and heater in bathroom was out of service

Serene setting. Nice accompodations. Enjoyable dinner and breakfast buffet. Friendly and helpful staff.

This cottage exceeded our expectations! It was spacious, clean and renovated. We loved the view and patio off the back and the breakfast was delightful

Very nice and clean place. The included breakfast was excellent—fresh and delicious every day. I understand that AC may not be necessary in the rooms, but they should at least provide a fan. We left the window slightly open, but it wasn't enough—I was sweating at night. The blankets they provide are also quite warm. The view from my room was incredibly beautiful. I would recommend Magma Hotel to any friends or family visiting Iceland.

Property was beautiful and rooms were spacious. Overlooking the lake-was very peaceful and calming. Staff were wo derful and very accomodating. Dinner and breakfast was very good.

Loved this hotel. So.unique to stay in your own small cabin. Food at the hotel restaurant is wonderful. Definitely recommend.

It was very peaceful, rooms were spacious and accommodation. Location was perfect on the lake with running water. Would definitely stay again

What an amazing experience… this was our wild card and turned out to be the best of them all. The rooms are mind blowing in the lake. The bistro was wonderful. The staff could not do enough for us. We will definitely be back!

What an amazing location, and a fantastic little private cabin as part of the hotel. the pictures tell the story and it is breathtaking!

Wonderful property with private lakeside cabins. Absolutely perfect.

Wouldn’t recommend!! At the price you are paying, you should receive enough hot water for 2 people to shower- we had hot water for maybe one 10 minute shower- therefore I was not able to shower- not worth the price for failed basic amenities

small problem in the cabin we had for a night. the lock of the washroom is damaged and not working. other than that, all is perfect.

Great small individual units. Heated floors were such a welcomed feature in the winter. We saw the northern lights the two nights we were there. Would definitely return.

Very friendly staff and good restaurant.

great location and cosy individual cabin rooms, great dinner in interesting dining room nearby. good food and friendly people but set up made for great privacy and view was wonderful. got to stay in wonderful snowstorm.

This hotel was perfect, the room was modern yet cozy, a perfect place to relax after a long day of exploration. The included breakfast was great, and the restaurant was so cute, looked like something out of a hallmark movie. We were even able to see the northern lights off of our back deck!

It was amazing

Hut was beautiful and cosy, great views and the food was very good too. Would highly recommend

Rooms were big enough, very clean and breakfast selection was great. Patio was great but too cold to use it. Parking is about 10 steps from the unit with a gravel path—might be troublesome for some.
