We chose this guesthouse based upon it's excellent reviews on tripadvisor, and we were very pleased. Our room was simple, small (typical European) quiet, and very clean. En suite bathroom is TINY, but very efficient. Other shared bathrooms larger and clean. It was a luxury to have access to a kitchen to make tea, store food, or prepare simple meals.... More

The room was lovely and comfortable. The share bathroom was spacious and well maintained. The kitchen facilities were very good, it is very possible to cook in and same some money. The location to the city center is great, we were able to walk almost everywhere we wanted to go.

My wife and I stayed at the Butterfly Guesthouse at the beginning and ending of our trip to Iceland. It is a charming place located perfectly for seeing the city. We could walk up the street and be in the central square but were not so close as to be bothered by late nigh noise. Shuttles for the Blue Lagoon,... More

It was a really great time on Iceland and to start up our trip in the Butterfly Guesthouse was the best decision we could have. Lovely people, nice rooms and showers and a really cute shared kitchen.

We had a great stay in Butterfly Guesthouse after we had had an accident in the Icelandic hills. The room was nice, with a bathroom down the corridor.

While a little on the 'cosy' side, it was far more comfortable than any hotel room and meant we could really relax during our stay in Reykjavik. Excellent location - quiet residential street, but just minutes from all the action in town. Kitchen was well equipped, and the flat had a... More

Jon, Thank you for all your help (via e-mail, before we even got there, and upon our arrival to Iceland and the (rather difficult departure from this amazing country). We recommend this place highly. Hope to be back soon, actually!! Go for the butterfly experience!! It's worth it!!

We stayed at the Butterfly for 2 nights at the beginning and end of our honeymoon trip around Iceland. We could not have been happier with our choice. Jon was wonderfully helpful and nice while arranging our visit via email. When we arrived, his son gave us a warm welcome, showed us around, and answered all of our questions. We... More

We spent three nights in one of the apartments at the Butterfly Guesthouse. Jon gave great details on how to access the guesthouse using the Flybus from the airport when we emailed months before to make the booking. On arrival, he was very welcoming and told us where we could buy food (just around the corner). When we collected our... More
