At Magma Hotel, guests consistently praise the serene lakeside setting, stylish private cabins with big windows, and friendly staff, while many also enjoy the on-site dining and included breakfast, making it a memorable south-coast stop.
Rooms are described as modern, comfortable and often spacious, with panoramic views that create a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Recurring drawbacks include limited hot water capacity, occasional heating or maintenance issues in bathrooms, and parking that can require carrying luggage over gravel to some cabins. The location feels remote yet is convenient for Ring Road travel and nearby sights. Overall, expect a peaceful, design-forward stay with standout scenery and welcoming service.

10/10 for this property!! We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this hotel. The staff were polite and welcoming. Our room was exactly as described, was spacious, clean and comfortable. There is a restaurant on site where we had dinner which was cooked to perfection. Breakfast was delicious with a wide range of options to choose from. Free parking is available on site.

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!!

Wouldn’t recommend!! At the price you are paying, you should receive enough hot water for 2 people to shower- we had hot water for maybe one 10 minute shower- therefore I was not able to shower- not worth the price for failed basic amenities

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.

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.

Rooms were big enough, very clean and breakfast selection was great. Patio was great but too cold to use it. Parking is about 10 steps from the unit with a gravel path—might be troublesome for some.

Das Hotel besteht aus kleinen Häuschen, die sich wunderschön in die Landschaft schmiegen. Leider hatte in unserem Zimmer die Gardine Löcher und im Bad waren unterhalb der Toilette Schimmel(?)Flecken. Instandhaltungsarbeiten werden offensichtlich nicht sorgfältig ausgeführt. Das trübte den eigentlich tollen Anblick. Das Frühstück war ok. Man bezahlt hier wohl hauptsächlich die Lage/den Ausblick. Fazit: Viel zu teuer für das was man bekommt.

Magma Hotel was a welcomed reprieve from the pouring rain and windy weather during our stay. The room was perfect. Beautifully furnished, immaculately clean, with all the amenities one could need for a short stay. Unfortunately, the area had gotten a lot of rain and our patio door had a leak. While we did have water across the floor along the outer wall, the issue was quickly resolved as best as possible by the staff. The rooms were reasonably priced for a quiet stay with a countryside view - we'd happily stay again should we return to the area!

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.

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!

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.

The individual cabins look like monopoly houses from the outside, but the full wall of windows inside offers a fantastic view of the surrounding area. Inside are modern furnishings. The restaurant in the reception house offered a delicious dinner, and the buffet breakfast the next morning was great.

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.

This was our favorite hotel in Iceland. The views are spectacular and the cottages are just beautiful, great design, quality and spacious. The breakfast has definitely room for improvement, the dinner was not so great. (premium ingredients but lacking flavors). The personal was professional and friendly. Thank You for our stay.

Beautiful rooms in small standalone buildings, gorgeous windows and a view of a peaceful pond. Would love to have had more than one night. But for dinner try someplace else, wasn't very good. Other options in town.

Lovely place! Scenic. Clean. Well maintained. Our smallest accommodation AND most expensive on our entire Ring Road trip. Nothing negative to say--only for comparison sake.

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.
