"We really enjoyed our stay at the Bubble. It was easy to check in and there was such a cute well lit path marked to our very private bubble clearing the trees. Though the sky didn't cooperate with the Northern Lights the private wooded scenery around the Bubble (even in the rain) made for a lovely view. Staying in the Bubble was a really fun and very cozy, comfortable experience."

"I am a photographer who travels the world, and this was my 20th trip to Iceland. I have stayed at the Kvika many times, and when available I will always return. This is a basic, no-frills hotel with the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. I have used this hotel as a “base of operations” many times. Conveniently located for rides to Reykjavík, the Golden Circle, the South Coast, Snaefellsness, and a longer day-trip to Diamond Beach. The staff is great, and the gentleman at the desk in the evening, Hawk, is extremely helpful. They are adding on another hotel next door. I cannot wait to stay in their additional property once it opens."
