From check in to check nothing was too much trouble lovely friendly staff clean rooms and definitely worth the upgraded room to use the spa and coffee machine in the room. Lovely idea to have the honesty bar in the hotel and a wake up call for the northern lights which we were lucky enough to see! Would definitely recommend this hotel for close proximity to the blue lagoon which was amazing! Thank you everyone for a lovely stay

We had an excellent stay at the hotel. The hospitality was outstanding, the amenities were well-maintained, and the staff went out of their way to ensure our comfort. The biggest highlight was the breathtaking Northern Lights view right outside the hotel—an extraordinary and memorable experience. Highly recommended.

Aurora Hunter's Dream: Perfect Location for Lights & Lagoon! Rating: 5/5 If your primary goal is to maximize your chances of seeing and photographing the Northern Lights, and you want easy access to the Blue Lagoon, then this location is absolutely perfect. This hotel truly provides an ideal retreat in the rugged Icelandic wilderness. The Stay: The hotel rooms were beautifully decorated and felt incredibly cozy and well-appointed—a perfect sanctuary after a long day of exploring. I must especially commend the staff; they were genuinely welcoming, helpful, and very accommodating with every request, enhancing the overall experience significantly. Location, Location, Location: The hotel's location is unparalleled for the Blue Lagoon; it’s just a stone's throw away, making travel incredibly convenient. More importantly, its position away from the capital means there is minimal light pollution, offering truly incredible picture-taking opportunities of the Aurora Borealis. If your itinerary focuses on the lights and the geothermal spa, you won't find a better base. Essential Travel Tip (Read This!): Be warned: a taxi ride into Reykjavik is extremely expensive (easily $140-$170 USD one-way). If you plan on making multiple trips to the capital, you must factor this into your transportation costs or, better yet, rent a car for your stay.

Room was clean and spacious. Max’s is excellent and we liked the living room area. However, overall this hotel could use some updating and it’s primarily value is the proximity ro the Blue Lagoon.
