10/10 Excellent
"The room was incredibly small, but most places in Iceland are. We didn’t eat the breakfast because it wasn’t cheap, but they let us eat our own oatmeal in the dining room using their dishes, and coffee was free and delicious. Staff was friendly and helpful and check in was easy."

"Fantastic find! We really loved the spacious room and bathroom. Spotlessly clean and with all the amenities needed, including a small fridge, which was great. Lovely location with the stunning lake within walking distance and Fontana lagoon - which was amazing.

"Excellent hotel. Beautiful setting. Spa and hot pool was very nice and relaxing, and cocktails are available to order to the pool too. The food was excellent in the restaurant, with very good service. The check in and check out was easy and friendly. The room was high quality, modern, clean with everything we needed. The staff even helped me dry my coat in the drying room after a wet day, which was a great bonus for the stay. Highly recommend."

Buubble Hotel - Hrosshagi

10/10 Excellent
"This would not be for everyone but you have to be prepared to stay in a clear “igloo” like bubble. Staff was friendly and there upon arrival but it is a small cabin with 2 shared bathrooms and showers for everyone staying. There is a fridge and coffee if wanted. The only thing in the bubble is a very comfortable bed, a small light and electric outlet. Each bubble is private and there is nothing like looking overhead into trees and the sky. The bed was the most comfortable bed with plenty of down pillows and comforters. They give you a lantern if you need to use it for the evening. We woke up to the sunrise very refreshed. Definitely an interesting and fun experience."
