Lava Travel

Loved this hotel and its location. Great Boutique hotel located near the black church and hiking trails. The beds were comfortable and views at night were beautiful. The food is top notch, and the hotel staff takes pride in the dining experience. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the wonders of outside from a seat inside or outside.

Really enjoyed staying at this hotel. The rooms were very spacious and with a big common area outside your room to join up with friends or meet other people. The hot tub was as added bonus after a long day of hiking and excursions. Lots of options on the menu for anyone taste, but town nearby for some cool restaurants to choose from.

This hotel was a beautiful property. The rooms were very spacious with chairs and couch to enjoy the view. the black out curtain was nice to get a good night's sleep after a long day of hiking and excursions. The restaurant on site was nice with a common area in the lobby as well as bar. Enjoyed the sauna for some well needed respite from a long day!

Really enjoyed this property. It is very central to everything you need to walk to in Reykavik. Parking is off site but easy to find with the Parka app. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby to choose from. Breakfast was downstair and easily accessible. The bed was comfortable and a nice well equipped bathroom.

Enjoyed our guide and the experience. He explained the history of the glacier and took us in the ice cave. Much smaller than I expected but nonetheless a great experience.

This by far was one of the highlights of our trip. Saw humpback whales and minke whales and they appeared to be following our boat. Very entertaining with slapping the water and full breaches by the whales. What an incredible experience.

The snowmobiling was a good experience. It is a bit cold snowmobiling on a glacier and due to the time of year, very wet. We geared up in a our "moon suit" and helmet so we were plenty prepared

The lagoon we kayaked on was beautiful with floating icebergs. There are a lot of activities going on at the same time, so a little bit of a traffic jam on the water. Suited up and got plenty of instruction. Would have like to hear more details about the icebergs themselves and the environment but a fun activity indeed.

Our favorite hotel that we stayed at during our trip to Iceland. Very cute, small (so no tour groups stay here, which is amazing), and the views were absolutely stunning from the back door of our cabin.

Stracta Hotel Hella was more than decent. The staff were friendly and the room was comfortable, however, it was quite busy during breakfast times as it was a hub for tour buses. Despite the hectic mornings, we didn't face any major issues during our stay.

A fun experience into the a lava tube. The guide was fun and informative with plenty of little jokes, but also a wealth of historical information about the tube. The complete darkness experience at the end was surreal.

An absolute must do! Great experience all around. It's not nearly as cold as some people make it out to be. Our guide, Shenae, was awesome and super helpful.

Great experience. The ride to the cave is its own adventure, especially the roller coaster. It's fun to walk on the glacier, view the cave, eat ice from the glacier. Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable.

I think we actually preferred the Sky Lagoon over the Blue Lagoon. It wasn't as busy and felt much more calming and serene. Sky Lagoon provided a much more intimate and relaxing experience compared to the more touristy Blue Lagoon.

Great location, tiny rooms.

It is run by a local family. They are lovely and warm people.

Super busy hotel full of other travelers. Provides the basics and is very nice, but very impersonal.

Smaller hotel with large glass walls.

A beautiful farm and guest house set up! They have handmade Icelandic Sweaters

Luxury hotel

Busy chain hotel, with small rooms

Small rooms that don’t seem to be set up correctly

Awesome experience going into ice cave and hiking up a glacier. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable.

Feels like a waste of resources. There are whales and we spotted some whales, but why are we crowding onto a motorized boat to see whales?

Guide was great, but the actual size of the remaining interior was disappointing and unlike the advertised photos.

This hotel was very comfortable and located a bit outside of downtown which actually was perfect.

Really nice room, we wish we could have stayed here longer! Our dinner in the restaurant was exceptional as well, staff extremely accommodating.

Cute and comfy. We ended up arriving quite late in the evening and the host was still available to greet us and give us our key to check in which was great.

Great location, right near everything and super modern and clean.

Room was comfortable and clean. This was the only place we stayed that didn’t have reserved parking for guests, so we were a bit nervous about the public street parking overnight especially because this location is downtown, but we didn’t have any issues and it was fine.

We loved this experience! We got to see puffins, whales and dolphins. It was so peaceful and the crew was great.

We really liked this experience because we got to try the traditional Icelandic foods without having to get them as your entree for dinner if you’re not that adventurous. Our guide Agla was really knowledgeable and pointed out historical buildings and facts along the way.

This was incredible!!! The entire thing from the drive to the glacier, the hike up the glacier and exploring the ice cave was an experience. We loved this excursion so much.

This experience was incredible, a once in a lifetime excursion. You have a 2 mile hike there and back over lava fields and it’s like you’re on another planet. The guides were knowledgeable and you got ample time inside the volcano to explore. Would 1000% recommend.

Super quaint hotel out in the middle of a field, but still lovely accommodations!
