Guesthouse Gerdi Guesthouse

Gerði, 781 Gerdi, Iceland –

Very welcoming and accommodating staff. We had to get up early to leave the next day and they gave us a packed breakfast to take on the road. Staff were very friendly to our children and it was a lovely way to spend the evening in their restaurant with the wild weather outside.

Delia, Australia

Location and staff were excellent. Close to Glacier Lagoon.

Lisa, United States of America

Room met expectations, great location, warm and no bother. Comfortable cheap night near a major attraction.

Coube90, Australia

The location was great. We missed Jokulsarlon (Glacier Lagoon) because of bad weather, but Gerdi is so close we were able to go back the next morning and see it (a highlight!). We also had dinner at Gerdi, which was excellent.

Phil, United States of America

Good breakfast, and very friendly staff. The property is large and there's a nice path for a stroll and a chance to visit the Icelandic sheep nearby. Our room had a lovely view. We saw the Northern Lights!

Anne, United States of America

Beautiful setting in Iceland - very close to Jokulsarlon and Diamond Beach (the drive from there was magical too). The staff was friendly, facilities clean and comfortable after a day on the glaciers. A little over priced and food was expensive but good, which is typical for Iceland. Would highly recommend to stay here.

Mariel, United States of America

Excellent staff, and location. Restaurant was outstanding and better than expected

Harry, United States of America

Less than an hour from Skaftafell- good place to stay if you are going on a glacier walk. WiFi worked well and the staff was helpful. Room was clean.

Arthur, United States of America

Loved staying here. Simple and very clean room and nice location. Restaurant had delicious food with very friendly staff.

Walt, United States of America

Wonderful location with views of the ocean, glaciers and a neighbor’s Icelandic horses. Well-maintained property with very clean, modern amenities. Rooms are small but not an issue with so much to see outside.

Arriving First of all it was very expensive for what you get. The restaurant was an absolut nightmare. It was extremly expensive and the food was horrible. The room was nothing like on the pictures. We couldnt open the windows. It had this gross smell inside the room. The toilet wasnt flushing right and it didnt stop running. The room was quite dirty and so were the sheets. The showerhead was so dirty that only a few drops came out of it. We defenitely do NOT recommend going there.

We had the same room as our trip last year and the toilet STILL hasn’t been mended - it was running all night which was noisy and the bathroom was cold and smelly. No kettle in room. Coffee available at reception but I like a cuppa when I first wake up! Pricy for the basic standard of accommodation. Breakfast not included - about £15 extra each.
You can’t fault the location near to Jökulsárlón Lagoon and the Diamond Beach. It’s a beautiful spot. The guesthouse is rustic and charming and there’s not not much choice of any other hotels in the location.

Food overall was overpriced; dinner tasted good but not filling at all for the cost. Would not suggest getting the breakfast (very "continental") but a real waste of money.
Cute little cabin rooms, food was good. Really quaint place. Very clean and staff was accommodating.

Very Good
- • Leisure trip

The price of the room is very high. Room rate only, without breakfast close to 150 euros is too much for a 2-stars hotel and is only explained by the lack of competitors in the area. A bad smell was coming from the drains when you had shower.
The location was great, 10 minutes drive from the Jogursarlon Lagoon. Arriving at night can be a little scary because there are no lights on the road until you actually arrive at the guesthouse. Gerdi itself is a quite big complex with hotel-style rooms and cabins. We stayed at the hotel-style rooms on the second building opposite reception. The room was big, as was the bathroom. No kitchen in the rooms, the hotel has its own restaurant which we didn't try. And a tip. You pay on arrival in ISK based on the price at the time of booking. So book a room with free cancellation. Come back and monitor the price of your room. If ISK goes up you are safe with your booking. If ISK goes down, you can cancel and book again with the new price that will be in your favour.
