The staff was so kind and helpful with my stay. Especially the kind lady who checked me in. The food at restaurant was very good. I appreciate the service of the aurora light wake up call.
Room was excellent, staff was great! We loved the location, geothermal pool and sauna, etc. couldn’t have been happier to spend 2 nights here at the End of our Iceland adventure!
Beautiful hotel and upgraded to a new room. Late checkout time, which was very relaxing.

One star for restaurant staff, which did good job during breakfast and dinner.
The hotel is outdated and pictures are a frame for a scam. The hotel reminds you of an old nature center / research facility, it is not a 4-Star Hotel and should not be marketed as one.
Entire experience was fantastic, great food, wonderful staff, nice hot springs, remote location with fabulous scenery and hiking, yet not far from Reykjavik. There were many positives about this very special and unique place, will definitely return in the future if possible.
Wonderful stay in a bucker list destination. We were given an upgrade to a suite. Absolutely gorgeous. Staff all so pleasant and helpful. Food fantastic.
We really liked Ion Adventure. The only thing less than perfect was the Silfra restaurant - our wait staff was excellent, but the food was not. I tried the "beet burger", and someone else had the falafel, and they were not good. Otherwise we really liked the hotel.
Beautiful location and comfortable hotel — great “lounging” outdoor hot tub, cocktail bar, and views from the room. The meals in the restaurant were fab.
Loved the hotel! Comfortable rooms and beds. We had a great dinner and breakfast at the restaurant there. The staff was super friendly. The view from the bar and pool was amazing.
