Reykjavik Domes

This was by far a once in a lifetime stay. It was amazing to wake up and enjoy coffee in front of the view of the mountainous landscape. We loved reading about Iceland’s volcanos. The private hot tub and fridge (stocked with Pepsi!) were just what we needed after a long day.

You would think to stay in a glass dome to be able to see the sky. All we saw was white tarp that couldn’t come down.

This was a bucket list night and we saw the Northern Lights! Absolutely one of our favorite nights on our trip and the hot tub was easy to use and a huge bonus. The fire was easy to start and kept us warm all night. We ran out of wood though and didn't realize until morning there was more accessible in the kitchen. Whoops! There was a small bottle of sparkling Asti so we each had a glass and they had a few little macaroons which was nice. Hardly a mini bar and hor de vours as advertised lol but we were happy with them and thought they were a nice touch. When we arrived we could not find the email with the passcode to get in and were able to call someone who helped us right away. Only thing we'd say is that the view was mostly city lights while we were expecting something a little more private, but we did have plenty of privacy from the other domes. A short fence on the right side of the property would be a great improvement! All in all, it was one of our favorite stays and we would recommend!

Had booked this as our flight for our flights and hotel deal was rearranged so instead of extending the hotel booking, we book this as a nice treat for our honeymoon. We didn’t have a car and the public transport to the area was good. A bit of walking at the end which was annoying with our suitcases but nothing we couldn’t handle, just glad the ice and snow had let up! We did get a taxi back from Reykjavík at 1am after a tour and that took only 15 mins and cost around £35 on the Hopp app for reference. Collecting the keys from the key safe was easy given our check in information messages to us a few days prior to our booking. The dome was warm when we entered and the gift of macarons and a small bottle of fizz were appreciated! The hot tub was already on and to temperature. Had a lovely soak before our northern lights tour. When we got back at 1:30am, the dome had cooled a few degrees but wasn’t unbearable at 18°C. We move the heaters a little closer to the bed. I slept well and was warm. The bed was very cosy, and warm once you were under the duvet. My husband was a little chilly but that is likely our fault as we didn’t use the fire due to the fact we weren’t going to be in the dome for much of the evening. There were also blankets we could have used and a hot water bottle which we also could have used. We were just too tired when we got back that late! It was also -4°C outside so it was expected to have cooled down a little from the daytime temperatures in the dome. The kitchen facilities in the dome themselves were basic with a coffee machine and kettle but the kitchen facilities by the shared toilets were excellent. I was a bit worried after reading the negative reviews but was very pleasantly surprised with how different an experience we had. Would definitely come back!

Reykjavík Domes - great stay and brilliant service Accommodation was first class, even down to the robes and good glassware. Had a minor problem with toilet, I emailed them and within hours they had it repaired and serviced the room. Top class service.

When I arrived at the campgrounds, it did not strike me as a “luxury glamping” experience. It looked like the owners just randomly placed 3 domes in the middle of a dump. Definitely not a place I would pay $600+ to stay at. There is no one onsite to help you with any questions or issues that may arise during your stay (heating, plumbing, security, etc.). And good luck getting in touch with anyone. On top of being hard to reach, customer service was terrible! They only care about making money off of their customers, not about creating a great experience/accommodation for them.
