Búdardalur glamping
About this stay
Búdardalur glamping trades a standard hotel room for a self-contained unit with its own private entrance, a terrace and an outdoor seating and picnic area rather than shared common spaces. The one-bedroom, three-bathroom layout gives more room to spread out than most other stays in the village, and the garden includes outdoor dining and barbecue facilities for a self-catered evening under open sky. A microwave, shower, electric kettle and toaster cover basic cooking without a full kitchen, and free on-site private parking sits right beside the unit. Pets are allowed here, one of only two properties in Búðardalur with that policy, and the surrounding area a hundred and fifty-three kilometres from Reykjavík Domestic Airport offers scenic views and outdoor activity beyond the site itself. Couples rated the two-person experience 8.8.

Our take
Búdardalur glamping suits a couple or small group who want their own outdoor space, a private entrance and a barbecue rather than a shared garden with other guests. The self-catering setup, microwave and kettle rather than a full kitchen, works for simple meals but not a proper home-cooked dinner, so plan groceries accordingly. Dog owners should book here or at Mystic Light Lodge specifically, since the rest of Búðardalur's stays do not currently allow pets.
Why we love it
- A private entrance and terrace of your own
- Garden barbecue and picnic area included
- Pets allowed, rare in Búðardalur
- Extra bathroom space with three in one unit
Why guests love itThe appeal here is having a whole outdoor setup to yourselves, the terrace, garden and picnic area are not shared with anyone else staying nearby. Cooking is limited to a microwave, kettle and toaster, so this suits a stay built around barbecue evenings and simple meals rather than an ambitious home-cooked dinner. Bringing a dog is a real option here, one of very few in the village, and the private entrance means arriving and settling in without much fuss.
