A quiet retreat during a long trip, yet convenient to everything the South Coast of Iceland has to offer. The breakfast was great; staff were helpful on checkin and during my stay when I had done questions.

The parking wasn't paved and there were potholes. The road to the hotel is bumpy as well. The bathroom was clean. Breakfast was decent. TV wasn't working. Light fixture was broken. The mirror glass was a little shattered as well. The room also has a strong bathroom smell after a bath. The price of the hotel is too pricey for the current condition. I've gotten better hostel experiences in Iceland with half of the price I paid. Also, the staffs weren't really friendly. Some of them give you a nasty face and didn't greet customers. Check out time is at 10:00 which is earlier than most hotels I stayed. The staff gave us a warning at 10:00 that if we don't get out in 2 mins, we'll get charged when we were ready to get out and just want to use the bathroom before we leave. That was very upsetting fact that I overpaid for the stay. I gave a 4 stars review for the cleanliness and breakfast of the hotel.

Hotel Búrfell Vik

The place looks terrible from the outside and it’s a mile down a dirt road. Once inside the rooms are spacious and clean. Breakfast is terrific. It’s not actually in Vik it’s a bit of a drive to town.

No staff and no amenities. Thin walls. Close to Vik if you need to be close to that tourist town. More than double the price of others hotels in Iceland that have amentities.

The hotel was nicely isolated and quiet, and convenient to Reynisfjara Beach, while not being far from Vik and nearby attractions. Pillows were great! Thanks for supplying Kleenex (which we never did find at a store). Shower had great water pressure. Breakfast buffet was wonderful!

Not worth the cost

One of the nice things about staying in small places in foreign countries is getting to know the owners or staff and learning about the area. There was no one at check in to greet us, only a paper with a code to the room. We had trouble at first using the code and had to use the "ring" doorbell to communicate with the owner. The room was basic and fine. The breakfast was meh. Runny eggs (probably powdered) and other store-bought products. I would be ok with the average-ness of the stay if the room didn't cost so much

Let’s start with all the positives which include a comfortable bed, a shower with strong water pressure, the room was clean and a plentiful breakfast buffet. The areas that could be improved is having a small fridge in the room. Given that the hotel is a ways from any place to get food or beverages it would have been nice to have a place to put a few things during our three day stay. Also, I sent the hotel a message (using the Hotels.com messaging option) asking for guidance with the tv as it was not working but I never heard anything from them. Maybe being a self serve sort of place I shouldn’t have been surprised. Lastly, one of the bedside reading lights was busted and one of the wall lights was missing a lightbulb. The location is 15 minutes from Vik or any other place with a store or restaurant so just something to keep in mind.
