This was our favorite hotel in Iceland. The views are spectacular and the cottages are just beautiful, great design, quality and spacious. The breakfast has definitely room for improvement, the dinner was not so great. (premium ingredients but lacking flavors). The personal was professional and friendly. Thank You for our stay.

The individual cabins look like monopoly houses from the outside, but the full wall of windows inside offers a fantastic view of the surrounding area. Inside are modern furnishings. The restaurant in the reception house offered a delicious dinner, and the buffet breakfast the next morning was great.

An absolutely gorgeous hotel!! It was very clean and had a delicious complimentary breakfast. We ate dinner and breakfast at the hotel while overlooking a lake with grazing horses. The best hotel I’ve stayed at in Iceland!

Would definitely stay again

We wish we could have stayed here longer. Our cabin faced the lake and we had a view of the northern lights from bed. Breakfast was included and was very good. The room was extremely nice and comfortable. We were surprised to find a mini frig in there as well.

The Magma Hotel was very nice and in a great location, however, I feel like it wasn't a great value for my money comparable to the other places I stayed during our time in Iceland. Additionally, their website lists laundry service yet it doesn't exist. This amenity is one of the main reasons i selected this hotel so it was disappointing to discover that it was no longer available. All that being said, the staff were all quite friendly the view from oir cottage over the pond was wonderful!

Magma Hotel is comprised of a group of individual bungalows in a beautiful setting. The accommodations are beautifully decorated and spotless. The surroundings and the lake evoke relaxation, peacefulness and privacy. I am hoping to return there some day.
