Average place. A few things to feedback. 1. Room heater not all functioning. For cold weather this is not good. 2. Kitchen provides dish detergent but no sponge for washing. Hope in future can provide. 3. TV only has one working channel. Not sure why there is a need to have a blue Ray dvd player as people doesn't usually travel with dvd. Hope this can improve. 4. Laundry prices varies across whoever is doing reception. We asked the night we arrived and it was 2000 including drying. Next morning we bring over the price is 3000 including drying. Overall stay comfort wise average. Location is good though as we got to see aurora borralis within 100m of the cottage.

I’ve never stayed in a place like this before. We stayed in both bubble hotels, Hrosshagi and Olvisholt. Both experiences were wonderful. A few of things to note… 1. Check in times are 5-8pm. There isn’t someone on site all night. Just be aware that you cannot check in whenever you want. Plan accordingly. 2. This is a very luxurious form of “glamping”. Each bubble doesn’t have its own bathroom. However, there are two heated bathrooms as well as a common area with two more restrooms and two showers. There is a small area with a sink and coffee pot and a table to enjoy breakfast or play games with a group. I’m not particularly interested in being without good accommodations. These were excellent and there was never any issue with the restrooms or showers. 3. Bring crampons/ice spikes. It can be slippery. Now for the good stuff… The bubbles are incredibly comfortable. It was cold when we were there (around 0 C or 32 F). The bubbles are warm and cozy. The beds were comfortable and warm, as well. They have a heated pad on there that you can adjust to make sure you’re warm. The experience was just like nothing else I’ve ever done. I didn’t see the northern lights at this one (I did at the other). But the views were spectacular, nevertheless. I slept incredibly well and made sure to just enjoy the night and the morning. There are several great things to do in the area. It’s not far at all from some fantastic sights- Secret Lagoon, Gullfoss, Bruarfoss, Faxafoss, Kerid Crater. Try the food at Fridheimar and Efstidalur. It was excellent.
