Magma Hotel

This hotel was very clean and nice. It was a particularly cold evening and one of our two rooms didn't have running water when we arrived. They worked immediately to resolve the problem and we had running water very quickly. There is a great field across from the main building where we were able to see the Northern Lights during the clear evening we had there.

Quiet and comfortable place off the main road.

Fantastic well appointed 12units in a very quiet area.... good area to try catch the Northern Lights from with its low light pollution

This was our absolute favorite place we stayed during our trip to Iceland. Every amenity was thought of, the location was beautiful, and the staff were over and above friendly and helpful. We were able to have dinner there as well and the food was fantastic. We would definitely recommend the Magma Hotel!

Great place, nice private cabin, very modern, large room, good breakfast, nice restaurant about 3 km away.

Cute, clean, modern cottage. Restful view from cottage. Super breakfast. Loved the ‘turf’ roof.

The rooms at the Magma Hotel are amazing! They have 12 little cottages, and despite being in a row, you can't see your neighbors and all you see is a lake and the countryside - it feels like you're alone! The turf roofs are cute as well. The mattress was comfortable. The service was excellent!

It was an amazing stay. The cabins are just as beautiful as the place they’re at.

Magma Hotel was a perfect combination of charming and modern, in a convenient yet secluded location. Service was excellent, room was very clean with a great view of the mountains. The bed was very comfy and warm. A big snow storm came through the night we arrived during and the staff shoveled our pathways later that night to ensure we were comfortable and safe. The complimentary breakfast buffet was the perfect touch. We wish we could have stayed longer. Will return!

The property is lovely, the cabins were nice, and the location was ok for exploring the South Coast. My only (and significant) complaint was the availability of dinner/restaurant. On the first night that we arrived, the kitchen was closed (I think something in the kitchen broke), but no one notified us... which is a REALLY big deal because we couldn't find food options anywhere else (due to limited food service in the area). We ate crackers from the little corner gas station for dinner - had we known, we could have stopped somewhere on the way. The next day, we asked for evening reservations at the restaurant around 3:30pm, and they said they were already all booked and couldn't accommodate us. First of all, they REQUIRE reservations (no one informed of us that, either), and when we checked closer, they actually only ask for reservations before 4:30pm. To be fair, they did say they *might* be able to accommodate us for their $50 USD lasagna/soup dinner. Luckily, we had time to get a reservation elsewhere and had a nice lamb dinner for the same cost as beef lasagna. When we got back to the hotel just after 7pm, the Magma dining room was completely empty. We did bring this up at checkout to make a suggestion to add more clarity about their restaurant, which is a BIG reason why I booked it, which was met only with excuses and restating that they require reservations. Yes- NOW I know that... but maybe you should advertise it.
