Gallerí - Gistiheimili Laugarvatn

We are having a great stay at this guesthouse! We had some trouble with noisy neighbours, but we could change the room immediately and the owners surprised us with a bottle of wine and chocolats the morning after! The lady of the house is very friendly, the room is clean and cosy and the location is perfect for making trips in the region. There is a lot of parking space in front of the guesthouse and the whole place has a very nice atmosphere. Breakfast is also very good, with warm wafels and good coffee! Definitely a very nice place to stay while traveling through this part of Iceland!

Stayed at Galleri Laugarvatn for 2 nights recently and was very disappointed. It looks like the whole place is shutting down, the gift shop had been emptied out and the cafe was not open to the public. This was our 4th stop on our Iceland trip and it was a let down, compared to what we had previously experienced. Our room was cold, we found 3 large spiders on the first night, there was no breakfast tea bags in room, lights stayed on in the porch all night, with no way of switching them off. Breakfast room was cold, no choice given for breakfast, it was laid out in advance, regardless if you liked any of it. The host hardly even spoke to us. It really felt like zero effort made for the duration of our stay. A few positives were that we tasted the Laugarvatn rye bread in the Fontana Spa cafe and we saw the northern lights.
