Uncomfortable Beds
The bed situation was the worst
They had two single beds pulled together with the crack in between them and two tiny, small twin blankets
It was not at all a comfortable sleeping situation for a couple

Stay Here It's Wonderful!
I can't say enough about the Inn and ownership quality. Very clean and comfortable Inn. The owners are the most gracious hosts. They shuttled us to the Blue Lagoon and then even to the Airport when our pre-booked taxi failed to show. We have a stellar seafood dinner in Max's Restaurant that is memorable. All the staff were friendly and kind. If you visit Iceland, you must stay here!

As the name implies, great viewing of Northern Lights. Staff help to alert you when the opportunities arise. Nice lounge area to hang out with an “honesty” bar with drinks and snacks.

Great location in the middle of lava fields and only minutes away from the Blue lagoon.
Very cozy atmosphere and set-up, especially in the lounge area with a fireplace and chess table!

The staff was very good with communication and answering all of my questions. They helped me book airport shuttles to and from the property! They are very close to the Blue Lagoon so if you have an early reservation for that then I definitely reccomend this property. The staff was also SO nice, will definitely stay here again. They will also let you sign up to get a wake up call if the northern lights are out, in which I did and the front desk guy helped take pictures! All in all a great stay and I will definitely be coming back!

Our main purpose to visit Iceland was to see the Northern Lights! This was the perfect place to see them. We stayed 6 nights and were blesses to see them every night. The staff is very friendly. It is a small Inn but it has all the comforts needed. We enjoyed our stay
