Guesthouse Gerði

Very close to the sights - diamond beach and jokulsalon glacier. Unfortunately we were placed in a room next to the common room, which was quite loud. Especially since there was an issue with their cable tv resulting in only one channel.

The hosts were absolutely amazing, especially considering our eventual midnight arrival - we were stuck in the snow, they waited up. The room was a great size and a great price, and very clean and neat. The location is amazing as well, it's a shame we only arrived so late. Would definitely recommend.

Got the last room for the evening! Was hoping for a double bed, but got 5 singles instead! Guess it was the family room. As we entered the building, the lights would not come on, so we had to use the flashlight on our phones to find our room! Not very safe! Our room was adequate, nothing plush! It was near the door leading to outside as well as the sitting area, so we dealt with a lot of noise from other customers going in and out all night looking for the northern lights! Which we faintly saw! Breakfast was not included, so for @$20 each, we were able to have coffee, tea, bread, sandwich meat and cheese. We did have a very nice dinner upon arrival in their restaurant. The positives were how close to Jokusarlon lagoon and black diamond beach that we were located...about a 10 minute drive! Also we booked an inside a glacier cave tour with Blue Iceland and received a 10% discount by staying there! (That was amazing!!)

Staff was amazing!. I'd like to give a shout out to one of the lady on the desk who attended us on the evening of 8th November. Room and toiler was clean. The view around the hotel is simply stunning as you have both sea and big hills around you. It was only a 15min drive from Jokursarlon, so you can always go back to see the place.

Beautiful location. Very friendly and courteous staff. We stayed in a cottage. Simple but comfortable accomodations.

The washroom was dirty especially the shower curtain. Kitchen is poorly equipped. The stove always short circuit while you are using other electronic devices.

Expensive but in a very good location for glacier walks, flights, boating etc. Comfortable room and guest lounge, nice view from the latter to the estuary. The evening food is certainly good, didn't take the expensive breakfast.

Could do with some bedside lights. Dinner was reasonable. Didn’t have breakfast.

The location of the hotel is perfect for seeing Jokulsarlon and the surrounding is quiet and beautiful. However, the property is very outdated, and although the the sink and toilet look newly replaced, the bathroom floor was not clean. There was a real foul bathroom smell inside, most likely from not having been cleaned and disinfected properly. I should have brought the issue to staff’s attention, but I didn’t realize the source of the problem until we were all unpacked. We decided to just brave through just for one night. For the price of the room we paid, I’d expect a cleaner room.
