It was a very nice stay at Gerdis and the owners were very friendly. The major reason I gave it an average rating was the size of my room. I stayed in the main building upstairs. The bed was comfortable enough but the room was quite small. You couldn't really spend any time in there if you wanted to. Fortunately,... More

My husband and I went on a small tour of the south of Iceland and we stayed at the Gerdi Guesthouse as part of the tour. We booked a double private bath room and were very thankful, because the shared bath rooms are not part of the main house. Which we visited in the beginning of March and were thankful... More

We have stayed here twice for photography of northern lights and the Ice Lagoon. Meals were delicious, the owner and stuff attentive at all times and the closeness to the Ice Lagoon, a huge plus for us. Good value for money by European standards, spotless and quiet. Would have no hesitation returning there.

We stayed here as a part of a private tour. It was in a fantastic location with beautiful scenery. The dinner we had was one of the better meals in Iceland, though also one of the priciest (4500isk). The room we stayed in had the sloping roof, with the bed placed next to the slope so you'd hit your head... More

This is one of the many farm guesthouses in Iceland. You are on farm property, surrounded by a few other buildings, houses, and a restaurant, all owned by the same extended family. The guesthouse is two floors, with a large eating area on the ground floor, and rooms above. The rooms are clean and modern, large bathroom, comfortable beds. You... More

We have stared at Gerði a couple of times before. Its virtue is its location - a mere 10-12 kms from the glacial lagoon Jökulsárlón. The accommodations, however, are rather basic. The bathroom is of poor design with water splashing all over the place when you shower. Internet is free but available only in the breakfast area downstairs. The farmer... More

Dinner and room were ok, but we payed for room and breakfast twice and never got our money back. We were asked to pay for room and breakfast at check in, so we did. The next morning we checked out. We had to pay for dinner and drinks but were charged for room and breakfast the second time plus dinner... More

I would stay here all over again! A true guesthouse so don't expect luxury, just nice clean rooms with comfy beds an nice bathrooms. We got warm, friendly service. A perfect location to trek through breathtaking glaciers and black sand beaches (with icebergs on the beach!). The farmhouse is not really located in hofn, in fact it's about 40 mins... More
