A touch of luxury in an out-of-the-way location. Very quiet and peaceful, with views to the ocean and the tiny church. Dinner was delicious and breakfast very satisfying (although a bit expensive).

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.

Beautiful property, very quiet when we stayed in winter. Absolutely picturesque setting. Perfect place to watch the stars from, even if you have to hide behind the little church to get away from the hotel lights - it would be nice if they turned off their outside lights when the aurora is on display. Good vegan options in the restaurant, but would be nice to have more options at breakfast.

Fantastic location, rooms and atmosphere. Nicely refurbished and really nice rooms. The only minus was that our dining experience was not up to the standard that the rest of the hotel represented. 3 of us had the fish and it was dry and overcooked. One of us had the lamb and it was mostly fat. When we told the waitress, she shrugged her shoulders and offered us an extra napkin… I would stay here again, but I would plan dinner somewhere else.

This property is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. It is located in a majestic setting with many open common spaces on the ground floor to sit and read or have a drink with floor to ceiling windows and glacier topped mountains and lava fields as your background. BUT the room (loft room) needs updating. Bathroom poorly designed. And the room and bedding smelled very musty. There is a skylight but no window to open and air it out. The dinner option is very expensive with very small portions. The breakfast on the other hand was amazing - best I had in Iceland.

While we were excited to be in Iceland to take in the landscape and sights, Hotel Budir was a whole experience in itself. It’s absolutely beautiful reminding us of a high-end inn with that is warm and inviting. Every one of the staff members from reception to the bartenders, to the chef were kind and drinks and food were nothing short of 5 star. The outside was just majestic with views of the sea and mountains. We only stayed here 2 nights, celebrating our 10 yr anniversary. But my husband kept saying how perfect everything was and I couldn’t have agreed more! We can’t see us returning to Iceland and not coming back to hotel Budir.

Check in was very easy . It took perhaps 2 minutes! The receptionist was knowledgeable and appeared to be able to speak several languages. There is a beautiful view from the sitting areas near the bar. We took advantage of this and had some wine and enjoyed the view of the ocean, seals, mountains and waterfalls. The room was spacious. Bathroom was clean. The electrical outlets were a little difficult to get at. One outlet was located near the desk next to the windows, and I used this outlet to charge all my devices. I did not see any USB outlets so you will need to bring the appropriate chargers and cables for your devices. Some of the baseboard was missing, but this certainly was not a deal breaker. Definitely a romantic air to this hotel and surrounding countryside. Staff are wonderful, and appear to have varying backgrounds. It's a nice international flavor. The wifi is pretty decent. I did hear one guest complain about the reception. I did measure their wifi reception as follows: Upload and download 45 MBPS in my room and in lobby and bar. It dropped to 5 MBPS in the first floor dining room. I still had decent reception about 10 feet outside the front entrance. I think the advantage of this hotel is that it places you nearer to the National Park and surrounding areas. If you were to drive from Reykjavik and explore the area as a one day trip you wouldn't be able to enjoy the area and would be pressed for time.

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.
