Guesthouse Gerdi Guesthouse

Gerði, 781 Gerdi, Iceland –

The location was perfect, just 15 minutes from Jokulsarlon and 25 from Fjallsarlon lagoon areas where we had plans for photo ops and adventures. The guesthouse was very clean and had the basics we needed: 4 single beds with comforters, a toilet with toilet paper, a sink, a shower, etc. A towel was placed on each bed. There are sheep on the farm here so we got to see them hopping about in the AM. Upon arrival there was a large party drinking in the pub/reception area so we thought it might be noisy, but since we were staying in another building off to the side, we were not disturbed by anything after check-in. Breakfast was available for about $16/person but we opted to bring some cereal and OJ to save money and time.

Ideal location--the Glacier Lagoon is an absolute must when visiting Iceland. A great place to meet other travelers. The bed was comfortable and I was happy to have my own bathroom. Dinner was great--one my better meals in Iceland. Breakfast we decent. I would definitely go back.

Mark, United States of America

Great stay. 10 min from Diamond Beach. Was able to find a dark spot on the property to see the Northern Lights. Went reindeer sighting. Loved the private restroom in the Bungalow.

Tina, United States of America

Did not have the breakfast. Location was excellent.

Sal, United States of America

We arrived after a very full day of site seeing and travel. We were able to get checked in and settled and still make dinner. Restaurant staff was very nice and helpful. Hotel has spectacular view and very conveniently close to ice caves.

Patty, United States of America

Friendly staff, the rooms are tidy and cozy. The location is very good, if you’re lucky and traveling in the winter time you can also see the Northern lights from there.

Diana, Romania

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.

“Had a great stay!”

The style is minimalist Nordic and met our needs but didn't necessarily feel "homey" -- more of a dorm feel.

“Nice place, good food in an amazing setting in the middle of almost nowhere.”

Check in and check was very quick. The family room had 4 separate beds and they were comfortable enough. The shower could accommodate an entire family at once if they so chose, we enjoyed it individually. The guesthouse location is breathtaking. The restaurant serves good food with generous portions. Soup of day merits special mention and we were offered a second helping. Cell reception in the area is very spotty.

Breakfast was a tad expensive at €16 per person and the options; breads, cold meats and cereal. Accommodation was clean and comfortable, starting to look a bit tired.
Location was perfect for our itinerary, set on a beautiful lake / beach with a snowy mountain backdrop.

The room provided was not the one we booked but the staff did offer to show us the one we booked upon request. Since the room was on the 2nd floor and we had 4 wheelies, we did not take that room. No kettle in room but hot water was available in main lobby.
Staff provided hot water upon request.

Very noisy. You cannot close the door without using the key and that led to a lot of slamming and pushing. Not very nice when you try to have a sleep.
The free coffee and tea was a nice bonus.
