    Honestly a great accomodation in a dark quite yet beautiful piece of earth. So cozy and lovely and the hosts are a gem! Best selfmade muffin for breakfast Ive ever had!

    From the moment we booked our stay at the Iglúhús, Lola and Laurent were very helpful and welcoming. We loved everything about our stay: the comfortable (and warm) room, spectacular views, delicious breakfast and nice chats with Lola and Laurent. We will recommend this property to our friends and family.

    We could feel the breakfast was lovingly put together, but I felt a little bad to leave most of the breakfast products untouched... I can imagine the (I think vegan) breakfast is not everyone's cup of tea. Must say: muffins were like heaven.

    The location and little house were great! Unfortunately we had bad weather but the house was real cosy. Everything is well thought out.

    Everything was warm and inviting, Lola and Laurent and the Igluhus itself! came in the winter and enjoyed our stay immensely. If you are waiting to check it I suggest you take a look at Dalvik or surrounding areas as well. Everything about this part of Iceland was charming and unique.

    There is nothing we didn't like. One thing worth mentioning is that there's no shower facilities, however, there are more than enough thermal spa's in the surrounding area, it's not an issue at all. If you're looking for an Icelandic glamping experience, this is 100% it!!

    There is beauty in simplicity and that's exactly what this igloo-style room offers. It has a comfortable bed, the room is warm and cozy and it has basic essentials like a kettle and wifi. We were very fortunate to see aurora borealis from our bed on the first night of our stay and to see the calmness of the rain pouring down on the glass windows on our second night. The hosts are so friendly and accommodating and made us delicious breakfast both mornings. This is a must see experience!! Book TODAY ❤

    The only thing is you park at the house and walk down the driveway, and a path to get to it. We had suitcases, and it was dark- so that was it, but not a huge deal. Totally worth it!

    The view/area was AMAZING! The place was so cute! It had what we needed (I camp so I was fine with the camping toilet in the little shed- it's the size of a normal toilet). It has jars of usable water over a sink (that drained into a container). It had a light, kettle, plates and cups, table and chairs, a wonderfully comfortable bed, even games! Although we didn't see northern lights that night- it was still beautiful watching the night sky while lying in bed. And she made us a lovely breakfast!

    the only thing is I wish we knew that Tuesdays in the winter months -everything in the area is closed even tho the internet said it was open, so after a long day of travelling we had searched for an hour and a half for open restaurants and eventually went to back to akuyrei to get food which wasn’t as easy as we thought.

    I loved the fact it was unique and very northern lights ready. I loved the service and welcome and the breakfast. the place was so cozy and comfy I wish I had more time to stay and enjoy the ambiance.

    A super magical place. It couldn't have been better. We found this wooden iglúhús half an hour north of Akureyri beside of a river just reaching the sea with am amazing and inspiring view. Lovely owners are loverly hosts. The cozy hut had everything we needed, tough ideas, creative solutions. Plus a wonderful breakfast with homemade muffins and a hot dish served to this little hut. If we'll return to this area we'll stay longer. (Soon you'll find 360 degree impressions o Google Maps)

    We missed sadly that there were no shower facilities, not their fault but for the price, I think there should be some access to showers at least.

    Duck down when you enter the door!

    Lovely and unique place to stay! Despite the cold, the Igluhus stayed very warm. It was in a very scenic location and we had the best time taking day trips around the area. The owners were delightful and the homemade breakfast was delish. Esp the muffins! We didn't get to see the Northern Lights as we hoped due to cloud cover but that just means we need to come back.
