Unique experience! You walk up a magical path through a forest of trees and little lights and fake candles to your designated bubble in its own secluded spot. The bed was comfy with beautiful extra wool blankets that we didn’t need because it was so warm inside! Looking up through the trees to the sky was amazing. There are clean toilets with sinks and mirrors halfway there too. In addition, there are more toilets and showers at the bottom of the path by the parking area where you check in. There is also a place to wash dishes if needed and get coffee and lots of towels for the shower. We were greeted when we arrived and left by four Icelandic horses and their foals next to the parking area. We were also greeted by very friendly staff upon our arrival and departure.

Worst “Hotel” Experience Ever – Stay Away!

I was in other bubble hotels, but this one is the worst one ever! I honestly cannot understand how this place is even open for business. Calling it a “hotel” is a joke! -Filthy conditions: The bubble I stayed in was dirty from the start, with stains and dust everywhere. There were tears mended with glue or something. Clearly no proper cleaning is done between guests. Also cold - both electric mattresses didn’t work! - Shocking lack of facilities: Imagine 20+ guests with only 2 toilets to share — no hygiene, no comfort, just endless queues. Totally unacceptable. -False advertising: The pictures make it look like a magical experience, but in reality it felt more like a cheap camping ground that hasn’t been maintained in years. -Zero value for money: For the high price they charge, you expect at least basic cleanliness and functioning amenities. Instead, you get frustration and disgust. If you value your time, money, or health — do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs! I wish someone had warned me before booking!

We had a great time staying in the bubbles. It was a clear night and we had a great view of the stars directly overhead.

The property is beautiful and quiet. We love to see horse on the property when woke up and paid us a visit outside the tent. The tent itself is cozy and comfortable. Highly recommended for people visit Iceland.

I accidentally left my passport in the room, and the staff kept for me until I went back to pick up, so that I could fly back to US next day. Thank you!

We spent our first night in Iceland at the Buubble Hotel and even though it was summer with no northern lights it was fun. The bubbles are well tucked into the trees so it felt private and we had eye shades (and we were exhausted) so sleeping was no problem. The heated mattress pads probably helped too! There is a walk up from the parking and the service house but there are also 2 nice bathrooms at the top near the bubbles.

This accommodation was lovely experience to be closer to nature! It was definitely beautiful. I think it would have been cooler if we had more views or landscape to look out into. Otherwise, the bathrooms and room itself were very clean. The shared amenities were lovely and to use and clean as well! Definitely a cool experience. We also drove to Selfoss food hall and had some good food and ice cream that evening. :)

It was really a magical experience! The woods were like an old European forest and provided plenty of privacy. There was a short hike to get to the bubble though so pack light. We did have a problem where the heat went out, and it was unable to be fixed until the next morning. That really put a damper on my wife's stay, but the hosts were gracious and allowed a partial refund.

Very unique concept. Lots of climbing and stairs to get to your bubble. Leave most of your luggage behind in the car. A headboard to keep your pillows from falling off and nightstands would be helpful.

We really enjoyed the experience even though there wasn’t an aurora the night we stayed. We slept great and It was wonderful to wake up in the morning and see the forest around us. We were greeted by staff at the service house and shown the facilities which were clean and inviting then escorted to our buubble. The hike up the hill was a little strenuous but not bad, just enough to make you think twice about going back down the hill unless it was necessary. There was a clean restroom facility at the top of the hill which was extremely convenient. The buubble was heated and had individual mattress heaters, warm enough that we actually got hot during the night.
