The sulphur smell was quite disagreeable when we arrived and we almost left right away. We went over to the Blue Lagoon nearby, and realized the smell wasn't too bad. Once we got back to the Inn, the smell was nearly gone. We didn't even notice it the next 3 days.

Dear Patrick, many thanks for your rating. We are happy that you did enjoy your stay with us. The sulphur smell is part of the Blue Lagoon and when the wind is blowing in our direction we can get this smell. We are however happy to hear that during your 3 days stay you hardly noticed it. We do hope to see you again, some day.

We have enjoyed our stay at Northern Lights Inn, from arrival to departure they have been very helpful and accommodating. Fridrik, Ziggy, Linda and the driver who took us to the airport, a very special thanks. The time where we were at the round about asking for a taxi, Linda has picked us up to get to the hotel instead . On our departure the alarm went off for an eruption warning and they were so kind to give us a lift to the airport right away. They were so helpful with directions and links to transport as we did not get a car rental. We enjoyed a 15 minute walk back from the blue lagoo safely. The hotel is extremely clean and organized, well filled, beds and pillows were so comfy. They tidy up everyday as well. The breakfast was fantastic. Thank you again for such amazing service and experience and we will for sure be back again. _Joyce, Lee & Adela

All of the staff were so kind and helpful. We were able to check in early after a red eye flight. Our group enjoyed the quiet and the cozy lounge spaces to hang out as a group. We used the restaurant for all of our meals as we arrived on a windy, rainy day. This is a great spot to stop for a night if you plan to visit the Blue Lagoon after flying into REK. The lava fields surrounding the hotel are other worldly!

Great and no eruption!
Posted 17 Mar 2024 on HotelsWent recently during the potential evacuation threat, so certainly not at capacity. We also ate at the hotel restaurant. Both excellent. Truly the only really minor issue is for this level of accommodation one would expect more luxurious towels, kind of thin. Sounds petty, doesn't it?

Average accommodation close to blue lagoon
Posted 18 Oct 2023 on HotelsClose to Blue lagoon however the Power plant close by spoils the atmosphere. The staff are super friendly and the inn has a Nice lounge area. Beds are confortable and the rooms are comparatively large. Parts of the inn need a refirbishment. The name “Northern light inn” can be deceiving as I don’t think it would be easy to see the lights considering the light pollution around the inn.

Dear Vivendhra, we are happy to hear that you thought our staff was super friendly and that you did enjoy our facilities and beds. There is actually no light pollution in our parking lot where we tell people to gather to enjoy the northern lights when they appear, like many pictures on our website show.
