If it wasnt for the location i wouldnt bother staying here. It was just an average stay with a huge price tag. The rooms are not the nicest and the bed was very uncomfortable.

The staff is the best asset of this establishment. The front desk staff, the kitchen/dining room staff, the room attendants wer all kind, attentive and quick to help.10 across the board. The hotel was quiet and clean and inviting. Being nestled on an 900 year old lava bed and surrounded my the beautiful volcanoes made it even more appealing. I will definitely return and recommend The Northern Lights Inn.

Great place!

Great place. I loved the shared space with the honesty store. The hotel was clean with a good breakfast spread. There are no nearby stores or restaurants as the closest town is empty due to last year's volcano eruption. The restaurant was delicious with choices of meat, chicken or fish. A great bar! A shout out to the waiter. He was very helpful and friendly. 4 minutes drive to the Blue Lagoon

And perfectly situated away from light pollution to view the Northern Lights! The Inn was clean, beautiful, warm, lots of windows, cozy living spaces with a beautiful fire and games to play, and the staff was absolutely incredible. Highly recommend!
