Amazing place. Really clean and quiet. I loved everything, including the puppy that lives there! Would definitely come back. The main avenue was really close to Lava House, so you can come and go as you please and it just takes a couple minutes to reach the main bay. Overall I had a great experience with this place.

This is a nice but very BASIC hotel. Not much for room amenities but they keep the place clean. The grounds are very well kept. Breakfast also is very basic. There was a very friendly dog.

This is a very basic hotel. Our first night was very noisy from traffic but they were kind enough to move us down a room and it was much better. Not much for amenities. Very basic breakfast. Overall clean and tidy. Staff very nice.

La señora muy linda, hace cosas para q estés muy agusto. El hijo la verdad hace que quieras huir de ahí. Hizo fiesta privada familliar, uno viene agotado y quiere descansar y había música a todo volúmen y gente platicando, hasta tarde.Lo que quieres es dormir. Aún les falta sentido de hotel o de hostal. Ese sentido profesional no lo tienen. Aún les falta mucho para lo q de pagó.

Excelente hotel en Santa Cruz de Galápagos
Excelente alojamiento en Puerto Ayora, en la isla de Santa Cruz en Galápagos. Se trata de un hotel familiar, habitaciones muy limpias, amplias, confortables con TV y aire acondicionado. El lugar es muy bonito con jardines y se ofrece un desayuno muy rico por las mañanas. Está bien situado a un paso del mercado, de la zona del Kiosko donde están los restaurantes con menú de 5 dólares, el puerto... Son muy amables y siempre dispuestos a ayudarte.

Great stay. Better breakfast than other hostals. The plants and hammocks make for a nice environment. It was double the cost of our other hostals in puerto ayora but I wouldn’t stay it was 2x better than the other areas.

Muchas gracias
We arrived late and tired. The owner was so welcoming. I needed cash. It was after dark and I was nervous about walking on my own to the bank. Her son in law walked me there and back. I had Wi-Fi problems. They helped me with that. Helped me order food delivery.

Great family owned Hostal/hotel
We had a great stay at Lava House! Owners were friendly and helpful. We originally booked one night stay before our cruise but end up coming back after for our last 2 nights as well. Rooms were nice/clean. Shampoo/conditioner and towels were provided. Good hot water. WiFi was not great in room and decent in main area but that seems to be all over the Galapagos. Free breakfast and was one of the better ones on our trip. Fresh water as well which is a bonus! Definitely recommend!

This has been the most perfect stay of my life. The property is located in the center of everything (the Port, restaurants, pharmacy and medical services, banks, among others. The staff completely understands what the guests need. Breakfast is very flexible in the menu, on-time, and exquisite. For families and couples, the property is perfect. We are planning to go back next year. Congrats!

Budget Accommodation
Good friendly people and nice rooms with AC. Bed & breakfast type of accommodation with big beds. Average breakfast, quite basic. But courteous when needing very early breakfast (before 7am). Water provided. Because this is a family hostel, expect some noise from the family's conversations in the evening. It was a bit annoying because we were waking up 6.30am (scuba, island hoping) - we did not complain because the owners are very nice people. Payment only in cash which was weird for a hotels.com registered hotel.

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly. Accommodating. Easy. Definitely recommend for travelers looking for a clean place with AC and friendly staff. Breakfast included was tasty and simple, and fresh made. I didn't realize we pay the hostel directly upon arrival- I thought I had paid Expedia, but I double checked with Expedia and on my credit card activity, and that's how it works. Wifi is slow, but it's slow everywhere in Galapagos- so I don't consider that a negative. The host was friendly and very helpful. I also appreciate that the location was NOT in the heart of town to create some distance from noise. I also felt very safe at this place.
