The cottage is conveniently located in walking distance from most of Reykjavik, was clean, well looked after and had everything we needed for a great short stay in Iceland. We were two couples and one 11 year old and everybody fit with plenty of room. The host was very responsive both before and during our visit and normally responded within an hour. Very happy and if we come back to Reykjavik, we will book again! ##### Andrew W. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Dominic M. Aug 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Disappointing/Overpriced The property is in a fairly good location, but the structure and furnishings are underwhelming for the price. The beds are small and lumpy, the stairs extremely steep and frightening, and the place was stuffy in the day and drafty at night. Charming is not the word I would use in describing this location. Terrace connotes a view. Hot tub was not a hot tub, but a "hot pot" which is a small, uncomfortable, rudimentary and unclean. One has to leave the windows open at night which results in a lot of noise from the street and neighbors.(especially if you are in the front room on the sofa) Despite the fact that there is a enclosed patio (terrace) and rather open front room that will accomodate luggage storage if you arrive early, the owner is adamant that there is no "early" arrival or ability to store your luggage before 2 pm check in time. That created a very large inconvenience for us and was disappointing upon discovering that there was ample space for luggage storage without putting out the housecleaners. Lastly, the place did not seem welcoming and was a bit sterile. No welcome note or other niceties we have seen at other locations. Just a three ring binder with some maps, etc. I would stay here again if I had to, but it would not be my first, second, or third choice. ##### Dominic M.

We were able to walk easily to most of what we wanted to do in the city. The house was clean and nice. The stairs were a little steep to the 2nd floor so just need to be careful. We would definitely stay there again. ##### Brad B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### david g.

The home itself was charming with ample room to be together after a day of exploring outside the city. Parking on the street was easy and inexpensive. The hand-built "hot pot" (aka: hottub) was a major plus especially for one of our party. Would definitely stay here again. ##### david g.

Sep 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This place is in the perfect location, very walkable to many shops and restaurants. A 5 min walk to Hallgrimskirkja Church. You don’t really need a car, and go small if you do, tight streets. We had a car mainly to see the lights and we were successful, though with an early flight the next day we paid a bit of a price. The house was as described, the beds were excellent. Heated towel racks and floors were a pleasant surprise. Good espresso machine and excellent tap water. Sofa bed was solidly comfortable too. We didn’t use the hot tub/pot. Good space for two couples or a family of 4\. Not that you are going there to watch TV, good, because live TV options are weak though most apps are supported. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6d8bdda1-41ac-46a6-8b75-37f0bb14c165-1759210328084.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5c40a69a-a671-4043-9bdd-cb30678c087f-1759210324058.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bbe32f26-489c-457e-82e9-a4d40a15ea6f-1759210335695.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f8e52f94-eb18-456b-8e34-030ea124d32d-1759210335332.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Gregg T.

Location and amenities of the property were just what we needed - and each couple had enough privacy within the cottage. The well-curated decor was cheery and modern, and the hot pot was the icing on the cake! We will hope to return! ##### suzanne o. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ewa P.

I love simple Icelandic style. It’s simple but very high quality. The house is very close to the famous church. Actually, you can see it from the bedroom window. It’s very easy to communicate with the host. I feel that I had been kind of bothersome prior to our trip, asking him many questions. He was always gracious and helpful. I already told Bjorn that we would be back. The cleanness of his house met even my standards! Thank you! ##### Ewa P. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard H. Sep 11, 2018 #### Excellent Stay in Reykjavik We (my wife and I plus two adult children) just got back from 7 nights in Reykjavik. There are several things worth emphasizing about this house, where we stayed our entire time. From the outside, it is a very picturesque cottage set in a quiet residential area. Inside, the kitchen and both bathrooms are completely modernized. Kitchen is well stocked. Everything is clean. All the rooms are good sized. We were comfortable when inside, and with three separate bedrooms we all could have privacy when we wanted it. But of course, you are not going to Iceland to spend all your time inside. Everyday we were either exploring the city or going on day trips around the island, and this house was ideally located to serve both purposes. It is a less than a 5 minute walk to the historic downtown area with its many shops and excellent restaurants. It is also a less than 5 minute walk to Bus Stop 8 next to the Hallgrímskirkja chuch (a tourist destination in its own right), where virtually all excursions operating out of Reykjavik collect passengers for day trips outside of the city. Highly recommended! ##### Richard H. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle D. Sep 3, 2018 #### Adorable Icelandic Retreat Moon Cottage was the perfect home away from home. It is located in a quiet neighborbood within easy walking distance of Central Reykjavik's restaurants and shops. We were five adults. The house is not huge, but it makes practical use of all of the space, and there was plenty of room for all of us. The best feature is that the house has two full bathrooms and both are large. There are two bedrooms upstairs. The living room had a sofa bed which was very comfortable. The comfortable sofa bed was an added bonus because so many are not comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and dishes. There is a washer, which was extremingly helpful. My only suggestions would be to add a dryer. It rained while we were there and it was hard to dry the cloths in the damp weather. Both bathrooms have a heated towel dryer, which really helped. The owner was wonderful to deal with. He provided lots of practical and helpful information (about Moon Cottage and Reykjavik) prior to our arrival and always responded to my emails quickly. Another bonus was the excellent quality of the towels; they were large and soft. The hot tub needs a little work. We did not get in it, but it looked like the paint was pealing. This is not a big deal, though. Moon Cottage definitely is "Excellent" and we would stay here again. ##### Michelle D. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diana M. Aug 26, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location! This is a cute little house, centrally located in the middle of Reykjavík. We were able to walk to all sites. It is also close to a number of grocery stores and has a nice dining area to facilitate home cooked meals. It also has an unusually good number of electric outlets though out the house. A few things to note: \* We were 5 adults, and, as we were using the living room as a third bedroom, there was not a lot of extra space for hanging and socializing. \* We arrived at 8pm on a weeknight and had to park pretty far away. There were rarely parking spaces open directly in front of the house. \* To reach and use the microwave on top of fridge, we had to stand on a chair. \* There is a nice new washing machine in the upstairs bathroom, but no dryer or drying rack. \* There were some supplies in the kitchen (plates, pots and pans, knives), but be prepared to buy spices or other condiments \* Check Google street view for a picture of the outside of the house, as nextdoor is also house #22\. The cozy house uses space very efficiently, with drawers and shelves to unpack in each of the three sleeping areas. There is a large dining room table and doors that open onto the back patio to create airflow and the feel of open space. The hotpot (i.e., hot tub) in the back was great and provided an authentic Iceland experience :) The bathrooms are both nice, with heated floors, great towels, and a nice rock floor in the shower. Overall, a nice place to Reykjavik, especially if you are four or fewer people. ##### Diana M.

An easy walk to museums, cafes and tourist sites, Moon Cottage is ideally situated for a Reykjavik visit. But, and it is a big BUT, the property is smaller than it appears from online photos and every movement can be heard through the thin walls. The bedrooms are up a very steep flight of stairs but the climb is barely worth it. I have not slept in beds this bad since my student days and three of our party left with aching backs. The fourth person was ok but only because they checked out on the first night and move to a nearby hotel. The listing claims to sleep six but the downstairs sofa bed has a mattress so thin that a better night would be spent sleeping on corrugated iron. The house is well-stocked, the host accessible and friendly but neither of those things overcame the awfulness of those beds. ##### Stephen B.

It was very clean, great layout, and in the heart of the city, easily walkable to everything. Very quiet. We would definitely recommend and stay here again. ##### Sarah M.
