Definitely would stay again!

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the rooms are nice, very clean, comfy. What is outstanding is the breakfast buffet. Best one I've had in Iceland! Lovely people, everything was great!

My email confirmation provided information for just one room but we had reserved two. Multiple emails to the property prior to arrival to confirm we had two rooms went unanswered which was very unnerving because we were flying in from the US and going straight to the hotel without knowing if we had the rooms we needed. The self-serve check in was not secure. The property provides a piece of paper with your name on the outside and on the inside the folded paper is the room number and electronic door lock code. Because it is just a folded paper (not inside an envelope or taped/stapled closed) everyone has access to all of the door lock codes. I wonder if they even change the door lock codes between guests. The breakfast provided was well stocked and outstanding. The property is not close to town so the provided breakfast was very helpful to have.

Super easy check in. Very quiet place to stay. Breakfast was good as well. Beds were Comfortable. The only thing I didn’t like was how hot the rooms got at night. Otherwise, good location for the day we had planned.

The staff at the desk were so wonderful. Gave us lots of suggestions for dinner options nearby, and some great lookout sights for midnight sun. The bed was amazingly comfortable and the food was very clean.

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!

This property is an outbuilding with a vending machine, plastic furniture and a microwave as a “lobby.” This hotel was rated at “wonderful” and should have been “dreary.”
