Cheap accomodation near Jökulsarlon.
Heating in our room didn't work properly, in one shower was No warm water (thankfully there were several showers)
Perfect for a overnight stay while travelling the ring road.
No power points in the room. The only way that you could charge anything was to unplug the bedside light. That wasn't practical as the ceiling light was as bright as two candles. The only power socket was in the bathroom so if you left your phone in there you couldn't get it back when others were taking a shower. Not well soundproofed. Absurd that you have to drive to another location to get a 4 digit code for the keysafe when they could send it electronically.
The kitchen was excellent plus large lounge/ diner.
Staff at Hotel Gerdi where you check in were super friendly and helpful. I wish we had stayed there. The cottage was ok for one night but walls are thin, rooms are tiny, and one bathroom door didnât lock. It was quiet after 10 pm. The kitchen was a full kitchen if you needed to cook and there was also a washer and dryer. There is nothing near the property itself which is good and bad.
I tried to rent places where we didnât have to share living spaces, but I must have missed this one. However, everyone staying there were super friendly and there werenât any problems. It was located in a beautiful place with several waterfalls behind it.
It was fine. Bit tricky finding the place to checkin ... The instructions were buried in zillions of hotels.com emails. One in, it was a normal guesthouse.
This place should not be open for business. The toilets do not work - disgusting. You have water pressure issues. Some of the bathroom locks were not functioning. Fix your plumbing issues!!! This is the worst night we have had in Iceland - by far. If you canât provide basic plumbing, you should be shut down. I canât believe we paid money to stay here. Shame on you.
The people were super nice and check in was easy. The food at the guest house was delicious. The accommodations are a good size and clean.
The bathrooms are shared and are very small, water gets everywhere and each person only gets one towel also the shower water temperature is very difficult to adjust.
The cost for the room is high given the shared bathrooms, I would not return to the guest house, but I would return to the restaurant.
