Reykjavik Domes

We recently stayed at the Krafla dome, and noticed there were strings of bright white lights running near the walkways to our dome and the other dome to the right of the walkway directly in front of the large viewing window. The first night we stayed there the skies were cloudy, and we assumed the lights would be on a timer, as they ruined the ability to see the night sky and lit up the inside of the dome during the night. They never turned off. In the morning, my wife was annoyed, and I told her I would just unplug them the next night as we wanted to see the northern lights, but we decided it was better to ask for them to be turned off instead of doing that ourselves. We emailed, the response was we could not turn the lights off and they needed to stay on. I understand that the ability to see the northern lights is dependent on weather and local conditions, which is why we stayed two nights. We were able to walk 100 meters down the road away (the second night) from the light pollution, just past the parking and the northern lights were visible as the skies were clear. These lights ruined our ability to see the lights from inside the dome, the main reason for us choosing to stay here. Had the weather prevented us from seeing it, it was totally understandable, and that is why we stayed 2 nights instead of one to double our chances of a clear night sky. This new or permanent addition ruined our experience and defeated the purpose of paying almost to $500/night.

Stayed for 1 night as a family of 4 in the Krafla Dome. Lovely experience, nice and cosy and well equipped. Hot tub needed topped up with water and 2 men came within 5-10 minutes after I phoned and topped it up. Would definitely recommend a stay here, it was a nice way to end our busy 4 days exploring this beautiful country.

Clean, great hot tub, cozy vibes. There were robes and slippers provided. The only cons were that the dome was cold without lighting the wood stove (which makes sense - it was winter) even with the mini split at full temperature, the view of the road and strip mall across the street, and a weird green outlet light on the ceiling we couldn't reach to cover. Otherwise, it was a great space!

I was expecting rustic but at least thought it would have a door. Nice place, good bed, warm. Wood stove even though we found out wood is a premium in iceland.

The dome was absolutely amazing!

Loved the wood burning stove!

It was great!

Clean room, amazing views, comfy beds. We enjoyed the extra touch of champagne and macaroons left for us. Coffee was also there, no need to purchase and bring with you. The code entry for the door worked well. And hreyfill taxi service knows how to get you to and from the Domes and Reykjavik. Be sure to schedule with the taxi the night before you want to leave to avoid a wait.

The bed was heavenly the room was well thought out and surprisingly felt spacious. The view out the igloo was worthy the price.

Clean, Beautiful, Warm

Very pretty and clean. Comfy. Great views.

Easy to access and a fun space. Really enjoyed the private hot tub in the back for the dome. Everything was great.

The Dome itself was very clean and the multiple heaters and fireplace kept the Dome comfy but it is on the property of a (possibly abandoned) activity center that includes mini golf, paintball, darts, etc and is in a somewhat isolated part of town (none of which was mentioned in the booking). The door to the shared showers did not open and conversely, the main door to the shared bathrooms did not actually lock. With all of that said, however, my main contention with the property is the security system in the Dome itself. Upon arrival, the Dome was supposed to be armed but it was not and despite multiple attempts of trying to arm the Dome while inside, I was unable to do so. Furthermore, while I understand this is meant to be a glamping experience, the booking made it seem as though there was an actual door to the Dome (it states “keys for the dome, shared eating area, shared bathrooms, and shared showers).

Great experience! Highly recommend

The Domes are amazing! Very nice welcome treats, warm hot tub, cozy fireplace. Definitely coming back soon!

Absolutely amazing. Nice set up inside, kitchen, table, fireplace and hot tub used twice! Romantic setting. Although you can see a neighboring houses in the distance

Amazing stay.. highly highly recommend. Such an amazing experience

Very cool experience, the set up is done within an activity park, but the domes are still kept in a separate area and private within each other

loved the place, would go back

Reykjavik Domes, were VERY VERY VERY disappointing. The description was inaccurate and misleading. There was no cooking in the dome itself and the common kitchen was poorly equipped and did not
