A comfortable option in the Vík area
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Búrfell. After a full day of driving and sightseeing, it was a very convenient place to stop for the night and get some rest. The view is breathtaking, and the room was simple but comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, with very good quality.

Cons:

The price is the only downside. It was the most expensive hotel on our South Coast trip, although the price is in line with other accommodation in the Vík area.

Muy tranquilo
Pros:

Desayuno muy bueno. La habitación era grande y muy cómoda. Mucho sitio para aparcar. Está en mitad de la nada propicio para ver las auroras boreales si el tiempo lo permite.

Cons:

Está a unos 15 minutos de Vik. El carril de acceso se podría mejorar.

Giusto compromesso prezzo/ quantità e per essere in Islanda questo conta molto
Pros:

Come molti hotel in Islanda anche questo disperso nel nulla, la ragazza alla reception gentilissima ( ha prenotato lei per noi il ristorante alla sera) struttura pulita ordinata nessun lusso tutta sostanza, colazione semplice ma buona.

Cons:

Struttura un po’ datata
