Beautiful and peaceful spot with lots of birdlife in Klaustur. Easy parking and fast check-in. Stayed two nights. The room was nicely appointed but SO hot. No matter what we did (turned thermostat as low as it could go, then finally turned off the breaker) it was uncomfortably warm. We surmised that this was probably due to the grass roof retaining heat so something to be aware of for summer travellers. Every table at the breakfast buffet was talking about it in the morning (we counted 5 different tables of travellers commiserating). The bathroom was nice and modern - large shower, big modern sink (easy to fill water bottles), Soley bath products, but our towel warmer was out of order and it had a separate locked thermostat which was again so hot. The back area is perfect for a couple, with a two person wood bench and portable cushions found above the closet. Lush green field view with horses in the distance and various birds (oyster catchers, redshanks, snipes, arctic tern, gulls, redwings). Good selection at breakfast, did not make it to dinner but did go 3 min drive away to Kjarr and had a wonderful meal with front row view of the Systrafoss. Conveniently close to groceries, pharmacy, gas station, but still felt remote. Would not stay again in the summer but would consider in the winter.

Beautifully located individual cabins. Very spacious inside. The ones closer to the lake and reception/restaurant house are super quiet. Liked everything except a minor inconvenience. The water from the shower overflows into the tiny bathroom no matter how careful you are. When we asked for extra towels, we were told to come and get them. Nobody is at the reception past dinner time. Breakfast is very limited.
Overall, beautiful place lacking service level that would much the high price.

I was disappointed with my stay at Magma Hotel, especially considering the premium price. We were allocated a room with an accessible bathroom even though we did not request one. The shower had no door or proper barrier, causing water to flood much of the bathroom floor after every shower.

Light entered through the glass panel beside the entrance door, and the room could not be fully darkened in the summer.

The water view is quite far away and the experience was not as expected. The hotel enforces a strict 4:00 PM check-in policy. Breakfast was mediocre, with a fairly limited selection.

Beautiful location. Cabin is spacious facing a lake. Very beautiful. Heated floor, friendly staff. The onsite dinner is outstanding! Great place to see northern light. Unfortunately we did not see one during our stay. The only complaint is hot water in the shower only lasted about 10 minutes then ice cold. The breakfast is limited and dull.

Delightful property with amazing views out onto lakes, Icelandic ponies and scenery.

Restaurant had great choices allowing guests to choose cheaper options or something a bit more special. I chose a bit more special and it was delicious and well presented.

Staff are friendly and kind. Would definitely recommend.

Our heated towel rail was marked out of order which was a bit disappointing so hope the hotel can get this fixed for next guest.

There was nothing about this property that we did not like. From the quiet location, to the quality of the food at dinner and breakfast, to the cleanliness and amenities of the room, to the views outside our window and our own patio area of the immediate countryside and beyond. Our stay was truly wonderful and we were only sorry it was for one night as we were on a tour of the ring road. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Absolutely loved it.

The Magma Hotel was very nice and in a great location, however, I feel like it wasn't a great value for my money comparable to the other places I stayed during our time in Iceland. Additionally, their website lists laundry service yet it doesn't exist. This amenity is one of the main reasons i selected this hotel so it was disappointing to discover that it was no longer available. All that being said, the staff were all quite friendly the view from oir cottage over the pond was wonderful!

So incredibly comfortable and peaceful. Beautiful view. They thought of every possible comfort in the room including heated floors, our own water heater.

We loved our stay at the Magma Hotel. It was serene and made us feel like we were truly experiencing the calm of Iceland.
The cabins are a good size with stunning views, the beds were super comfy, and they provide binoculars which we loved since there were so many unique birds in the pond we overlooked!
The staff was very welcoming and helpful which was reassuring since the location is decently far from a city/town (Kirkjubaejarklaustur has a small grocery store but the hours are a bit limited and it's the only town for miles). Having breakfast included is a luxury and was very convenient before starting our long days of exploring. There were a lot of different options.
The location is also convenient as it allows you to be an hour closer to Vatnajokull National Park than Vik.
We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice and clean place. The included breakfast was excellent—fresh and delicious every day.

I understand that AC may not be necessary in the rooms, but they should at least provide a fan. We left the window slightly open, but it wasn't enough—I was sweating at night. The blankets they provide are also quite warm.

The view from my room was incredibly beautiful.

I would recommend Magma Hotel to any friends or family visiting Iceland.

Suggest adding road signs or giving prior information to locate the reception.

Would definitely stay again

We wish we could have stayed here longer. Our cabin faced the lake and we had a view of the northern lights from bed. Breakfast was included and was very good. The room was extremely nice and comfortable. We were surprised to find a mini frig in there as well.

Check if you have parking access

Nice cabins unfortunately there is no ability to park near the more expensive upscale cabins hence it means carrying your heavy suitcases in the pouring rain from the main car park all the way to your cabin. Not ideal!!

An absolutely gorgeous hotel!! It was very clean and had a delicious complimentary breakfast. We ate dinner and breakfast at the hotel while overlooking a lake with grazing horses. The best hotel I’ve stayed at in Iceland!

This was our favorite hotel during our stay in Iceland. We had a spacious room with an incredible view of the water and we enjoyed watching the neighborhood horses. Our room had a sitting area with a small sofa and chair. All the amenities that we needed were included. The breakfast buffet was also a treat. All in all, this hotel was a real treat.

I loved everything about this hotel (staff, breakfast, room, view) and really wanted to give 5 stars like most other people. Unfortunately I did not like the hot water tank in the room. The shower itself was lovely, but the water tank seemed to only have enough hot water in for 1 person to shower, before needing hours to reheat. Very disappointing for two people staying who really enjoy their showers after a long day hiking.

This is the best hotel I’ve experienced on my Iceland Ring-road trip. The restaurant was great for breakfast and my wife and I totally enjoyed the dinner at the restaurant. Check-in was straightforward and we had the lake view room - great for sunrise. And after sunset (more light at midnight) .. we had our very first sighting of the Northern Lights. I must stress that Northern Lights sightings are purely based on luck and chance, but the location of the hotel does help due to less light pollution. If you are on the Ring Road trip give this hotel look-see, I hope you will also have as much an enjoyable time as me and my wife did.

Really nice place! Only problem is the front desk won’t be available 24h. So if you need anything, you are not going to find them. The other thing is their door lock, which is very challenging. The last they should prepare some cup and box for customers who don’t have time for breakfast to have a packed one.

Cozy and stylish cabin hotel

This was my second stay at this hotel - and the rooms are so well designed and stylish! Since my last stay (in 2021) however, there has been an expansion and more new cabins have been added up above the original 10-15 down by the lower pond. I understand there are plans for further expansion too - a traditional hotel building. While it is still above average for hotels in this area, I'd suggest more attention or care to landscaping around the outside/front of the upper cabins for more \"curb appeal.\" My partner also noted some degradations on the breakfast buffet - what happened to the smoke salmon? Overall, love the design and comfort of the rooms - SO cozy. Check in.

A good home-base for day trips to the south coast

We had a nice stay here at Magma Hotel. We spent two nights in Dec '23 and used this as a home-base for short trips to the south coast of Iceland to see Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach, and to do some ice-cave sight seeing.

The Hotel was nice. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable, but there was some wear-and-tear on the finishes that needs to be fixed. This is a \"builders grade\" hotel. Nothing too fancy and not put together with precision.

Restaurant was good for dinner. The breakfast buffet was OK.

I would definitely stay here again for the same purpose. It was a good value.

Beautiful property next to a pond and hills of lovely scenery. The onsite evening dining was superb and we appreciated the breakfast spread. It was nice to be separate from other apartments to cut down on noise. Our only issue was that the thermostat was locked to a temp that was too warm for sleeping, but we cracked the sliding glass door and didn't have an issue. Very comfortable beds and nice shower. We'd definitely stay again without hesitation.
