We had the same problem, and we found out that our hardware showed broken behaviour with IPv6.

You could double check with curl and force IPv4 like so:

$ time curl -4 www.google.com
...
real    0m0.074s
user    0m0.011s
sys     0m0.000s

Update 1:

We had the problem with our Windows Host System (Ubuntu 14.04 is the guest). The actual solution was found on this page.

Adding options single-request-reopen to the /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base and running sudo resolvconf -h did the trick for us.

I found another anwser on askubuntu that suggested almost the same.
