레이캬비크 돔스

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.

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!

We stayed at Golden Circle Domes for our honeymoon and unfortunately, the experience was far from what we had hoped. The dome was uncomfortably cold, with a heating system that couldn’t cope with the Icelandic weather. This made our stay miserable during what should have been a special occasion. After raising our concerns, the management promised a partial refund as a goodwill gesture. However, it has now been 30 working days, and despite numerous follow-ups, the refund has not been processed. Worse still, they’ve been completely ignoring my messages since then. £1200 for 2 nights - we feel like we have been robbed. Their lack of accountability and poor customer service is unacceptable. Promising compensation and then failing to deliver shows a complete disregard for their guests. I would not recommend staying here. Save yourself the disappointment and find accommodation that values its customers. Do not book at all costs, it’s not worth it!

We stayed in the King Suite for 1 night. The dome itself is nice and cozy but the lactation is something to be desired. I was under the impression that the location was secluded, however, it is not and located off a busy road in a construction zone. Also, my friend and I are not the biggest fans of spiders. We had tons in the room so it was very hard to sleep peacefully. I woke up with a spider in my bed. So if you are ok with them, you will not have any issues. I would just keep suitcases shut and zipped! My one star was because the concept of the dome was nice but horrible location and needs to be sealed to avoid any unwanted roommates. We never packed so fast to leave in our lives!

DO NOT BOOK HERE!!!! This is an absolute fraud- the website does not represent what this place truly is. They never sent me my reservation details to get into my room, there is no reception or assistance at all. It is FAR from a luxury experience- located in the middle of industrial area, riddled with run down construction equipment, cars run off the road and garbage. I WASTED hours of my short trip trying to get any help- to then discover the customer service was absolutely terrible and not helpful or supportive at all. Do not waste your time or money here- they will not help you.

Four of us stayed in the Hekla dome that includes two beds, hot tub & private bath. It was awesome! The guests that slept in the bed by the fireplace were cold throughout the night when the fire went out (the warmth of the heater seemed to be directed up, not down at the bed), but the two of us in the upstairs bed were nice & warm all night. The beds were so comfy, hot tub was fun, place was clean & the entire experience was awesome/one of a kind! The staff were nice and super helpful too!
