Stay Here It's Wonderful!
I can't say enough about the Inn and ownership quality. Very clean and comfortable Inn. The owners are the most gracious hosts. They shuttled us to the Blue Lagoon and then even to the Airport when our pre-booked taxi failed to show. We have a stellar seafood dinner in Max's Restaurant that is memorable. All the staff were friendly and kind. If you visit Iceland, you must stay here!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Northern Light Inn. Every staff member was friendly and welcoming. The place was not fussy but at the same time very cozy. Restaurant was fantastic for both casual breakfast buffet and menu driven dinner. Would recommend to any and all without hesitation.

The staff was very good with communication and answering all of my questions. They helped me book airport shuttles to and from the property! They are very close to the Blue Lagoon so if you have an early reservation for that then I definitely reccomend this property. The staff was also SO nice, will definitely stay here again. They will also let you sign up to get a wake up call if the northern lights are out, in which I did and the front desk guy helped take pictures! All in all a great stay and I will definitely be coming back!

I recently stayed at the Northern Light Inn near the Blue Lagoon in Iceland, and it was an unforgettable experience! The hotel's location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by the breathtaking natural beauty of Iceland's lava fields. It's the perfect spot to unwind and take in the serene landscape, especially with the Blue Lagoon just a stone’s throw away. What really stood out to me was the incredible staff. From the moment I arrived, everyone was so welcoming, energetic, and genuinely helpful. Whether it was recommendations for local activities or assistance with any requests, the team went above and beyond to make sure my stay was perfect. One thing I would suggest for future guests is to consider renting a car. While the hotel is in a gorgeous, peaceful location, transportation options are somewhat limited. Having a car gives you the freedom to explore more of the surrounding area and enjoy the beauty of Iceland at your own pace. That being said, the hotel staff is always there to assist with any travel needs, and they offer shuttles to the Blue Lagoon, which is super convenient. Overall, if you're looking for a peaceful retreat with top-notch service and incredible views, Northern Light Inn is a fantastic choice!
