Beware of shared bathrooms and kitchen here which were not mentioned on the booking page. Has a washer but no dryer, what a joke. Kind of dated and noisy.

We had a large family room for 4 (you could easily fit more young children if co-sleeping). Common kitchen had other travelers making breakfast and chatting. (Keep in mind there's no food available at this location.) No problems waiting for the shared shower. Self-checking with code 24/7.

It is not clear that there’s a shared bathroom, and even worse that it’s shared with another 6 rooms on the second floor where our room was located. It obviously represents also a challenge for we of smells in the house, as the common areas are shared, but again, this is not communicated anywhere. Check in is at a different location, and then they give you a map to go to the actual house where the room is located, which is not entirely clear. Instructions are poor.

Big issue is shared bathroom with 4 other rooms potentially 8 people. Read check in thoroughly. Check in 2.5 km in different hotel. I’d suggest this venue is a hostel as compared to the guest house

No power points in the bedroom. Badly lit.

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 didn’t 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 didn’t have to share living spaces, but I must have missed this one. However, everyone staying there were super friendly and there weren’t any problems. It was located in a beautiful place with several waterfalls behind it.

Just fine

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 can’t provide basic plumbing, you should be shut down. I can’t 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.

The room was very small, the bed took up pretty much the whole space, not leaving room to open the suitcases or even just to sit down. There was only one power outlet for a double room, at a somewhat inconvenient position, so we definitely needed our extension cords to be able to recharge both of our phones. Quite overpriced, for just the bed space, to be honest.
