Hótel Búðir

We were greeted so warmly by reception, learned about local liquors and cocktails from the bar staff and had an absolutely delicious dinner with incredible service. We were treated like special guests. The view was spectacular and the room exceedingly comfortable.

This property is amazing, hands down our favorite hotel of the trip. The restaurant was not only delicious but so kindly accommodating of allergies - be sure to give them at least a day's notice though. All the public spaces are so cozy and welcoming. Our third floor room did get a bit stuffy in unseasonably warm weather, with one window that didn't open much, but they allowed us to move to a room with much more airflow. A minor complaint in an otherwise perfect stay. We not only would come back, but will make the effort to come back and stay here again.

While the site, scenery and quiet are pluses this is NOT a resort or luxury hotel. If you want peace and quiet, walking paths and spectacular scenery in a beautiful area of Iceland and don’t mind having only one option for dining, small weirdly appointed rooms, a closet sized bathroom and no hot tub, sauna or other facilities you might be ok. Very expensive dinner which was only ok (over cooked filounder was the low point of a small manu. A final negative was a $35 charge for a marginal buffet breakfast. A big disappointment dying an otherwise amazing 10 day trip in Iceland.

The views around the property are amazingly beautiful! The restaurant is outstanding. Our room’s shower was really weird, it had an odd ledge that caused difficulty in showering. Also, we had to go through several doors and a corridor to get to our room. This was tricky with luggage.

Poor bathroom, just ok dining, bad frontdesk service, beautiful setting, first floor lacks privacy

I can’t wait to return

This was a lovely hotel- very expensive- however: One of our 4 rooms was a studio with a ridiculously small shower that was smaller than a cruise ship shower and upon checking out we realized the bill was wrong- they said there was a happy hour but when we checked out the prices weren’t 40% off after all. No apology or “how can make that right for you?” Or let us deduct the first few drinks or anything to make up for the errors. Toilet paper was rough and the toilets/showers on the floors above flushed right near our heads and were loud. Certainly not $500 a night caliber in our minds.

Everything about this hotel was perfect

Fabulous old style hotel with up to date rooms and bathrooms. Excellent service. Congenial, cosy, lounges. Lovely walking area

Beautiful area. Great food.

The cleanliness of the room and hotel were very good. Unfortunately, the front desk employee at check in was rude and condescending and not helpful at all. The only food options were from the restaurant menu and very limited. I would suggest having a full meal elsewhere before arriving here.

The hotel was great, in a beautiful setting, and with excellent amenities. The bar/lounge area was so nice and the staff was friendly. My only complaint is that the dinner menu is limited and the chef was rigid and would not

The views and the breakfast!

Beautiful location. Walked to the beach twice and it’s super close, convenient and it was empty both times. Room and hotel is very new and nice. Our bathroom shower floor was crackers/chipped and should have been repaired but other than that hotel and restaurant are excellent.

Location awesome, service attentive, food great, rooms excellent, what else do you wish. All rooms have great views, you are middle in the nature, sheep and Icelandic foxes roaming around.

Beautiful property in a beautiful surroundings. Very charming. The one not to be missed.

Cute hotel with a basic room. Breakfast wasn’t included and wasn’t a good value imo, but there were limited options nearby.

Beautiful area

Many thanks for another wonderful stay at Hotel Buðir. Best location on the Snaefellsnes peninsula, spectacular views in every direction. Rooms are comfortable and well appointed with amazing views from every window. Either you're facing the mountains or the sea, or both. Best part - Hotel Buðir has the best bed linen and pillows of any hotel I've visited to date. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They went out of their way to ensure I had the best possible experience. Most importantly, the restaurant. The restaurant at Hotel Buðir is legendary for good reason. The menu showcases seasonal Icelandic cuisine, it is paired fown to the essentials. They offer both à la carte, and tasting menu (3 or 5 course). IMHO, the cuisine at Buðir is on par with any Michelin starred restaurant. The dinning room service is efficient, attentive and well informed. Don't miss the breakfast buffet, well curated- nobody goes hungry. Looking forward to my next adventure at Hotel Buðir.

Amazing property! Our favorite stay in all of Iceland!
