10/10 Excellent

Great, family friendly boutique hotel away from the city hustle and bustle. We enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to staying there again in the future.
Amanda, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I like the free shuttle to the Blue Lagoon, and the spa accessed to guests only was a major plus...

Natallia, 1-night trip

Elaine, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Amazing stay even though for one night. Staff was helpful and breakfast was great. I didn't like the smell outside, that was the only downside. Rooms are spacious.
Malika, 1-night trip

Great position
Andrea, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very friendly staff, comfortable rooms; great location near Blue Lagoon and volcanic hiking; excellent food and wine selection; and a large, guest-only family room with plenty of furniture for relaxing or playing games, plus an honesty bar to self-serve drinks and snacks whenever the guest wants.
Donald, 2-night trip

Oleksandra, 2-night trip

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Northern Light Inn. The rooms were very clean and spacious. The hotel staffs were extremely helpful. The complementary breakfast and ride to Blue lagoon was very convenient.
Sangeeta, 1-night trip

Karen, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Way over priced and very industrial around the hotel. Not worth the price to stay here
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff in the hotel and restaurant were extremely friendly and helpful. Loved that my room was ready early, and I could go right in. The room was spacious, and the amenities were great (drinks included coffee, tea and sodas) that were included. Also, like that they had a free shuttle to the Blue Lagoon.
Tammy, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

This was a clean, quiet remote place to stay in the middle of an old lava flow. It was within 1.1 miles of the Blue Lagoon, but otherwise, isolated. It was expensive with no pool, spa, etc. The staff were very nice and helpful.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Perfect stop for the first night. The Dinner at the restaurant is awesome.
Ingo, 1-night trip

Junhong, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Shocked to have been asked to pay 611.00 for a subpar room that had a view of the parking lot. In Chicago, for this amount of money I would have a hotel room facing Lake Michigan and high end amenities throughout and with a pool.
Traci, 1-night trip

Shane, 2-night trip

There was a volcanic eruption near the property which disrupted our stay. The manager was excellent in assisting us, making other accommodations on our behalf and handling all of the logistics.
