A lovely place to stay. The staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us (to the extent they even sorted a couple of Christmas items one of our party was looking for). Highly recommend.

8/10 Very Good! (4 reviews)

This dome was perfect! Very clean which is the most important to me. It had all the essentials, extra blankets and the beds were comfortable. The host was super responsive and sent delivered more wood for us quickly. The town of Selfoss is 5-6 kilometers and has nice dining options. My family enjoyed our stay very much and will be coming back!
