Jan 2018 we went to iceland for 5 days, booked with icelandic air which was infinitely better than easyjet for the same price. Booked an apartment in Reykjavik and glad we did.
Went on a northern lights trip. -18 stood for 5 hours in a field and saw nothing.
As we saw nothing we were invited back the next night for free, we weren't too keen to go back but decided that if we didn't we would kick ourselves.
Glad we did, never seen anything like it before or will do again. Simply out of this world. I can only describe it as somebody taking an invisible paint brush and painting the sky.
As for being glad we booked an apartment, to eat out was so expensive and we were able to buy in supermarkets most nights and cook at the accommodation.
To give you an idea in a restaurant we had two standard type pizza's and two beers. no change from the equivalent of £80.
As with the OP probably won't go back to the same place but definitely an experience, Blue Lagoon hot springs was a real experience not just for the actual place but also the goings on in the small steam filled outside lagoons/bays
