Buubble Hotel - Hrosshagi

A slice of heaven all fluffy and warm. This is one of the most unique and amazing places we have ever stayed. The bubble is completely transparent so it feels as if you are laying outdoors in the forest, but without the cold. We stayed in January and had to have the host turn the heat down because it was too hot for us! The bed was very comfortable and being snuggled up warm and toasty under heavy down bedding while the wind blew hard and rain fell on our bubble was just awesome! It is a no frills lodging option. The bubble has heat and power, but nothing else. No water, etc. But it is the most posh "roughing it" we have ever done.

Fun, but very expensive for what it was. Knowing what to expect is important, because we didn’t. The high cost per night suggests luxury (we paid £320), it isn’t. It’s camping in a unique tent. We picked the Bubble for Northern Lights spotting, thinking the location was in the middle of nowhere but there are two industrial size greenhouses, one within two miles that gives off a lot of yellow light into the sky causing extreme light pollution making it harder to see them. If it rains, the noise on the plastic container is very loud and of course, any middle of the night toilet breaks involves walking through that rain. At sunrise everyone tried to leave at the same time so there was a large queue for the two toilets / shower rooms in the out-house. Having said that the concept is cute and quirky and despite a bar’s night’s sleep we enjoyed the experience of waking up in the woods. If the price had been closer to £100 a night then we would have had the right mindset. Cool if it works out with the northern lights and sleep, no worries if it didn’t. As it stands it didn’t work out and we’re left feeling sensitive at how much we spent to do it.
