    Saman is a great host. Nice coffees and nice food. The daughter is not always too smiley, but I think it is because I don't speak the local language. I would have liked speak more with them, asking questions, but without speaking armenian or russian is difficult

    + the room had a separate bathroom which was supposed to be used only by us. However, other guests used it all the time. Maybe a note should be on the door?

    + very clean room, quiet + Basic furniture, comfortable , firm bed + Close to sights , if you have a car + Good Breakfast + very nice and helpful host, invited us to fruit from their garden, tea, pastries

    Only downside there is no ac nor fan and you share the bathroom with other guests so no true to descriptio

    Very nice house the hosts are very kind and helpful although they don't speak English but always try to communicate and share food. It was easy to find and has 2 shops nearby and the bus 226 from Yerevan stops right in front of the shop. Also it's 30 min walk from the main attractions. All over was a nice stay and would recommend.

    Wasn’t easy to find, but probably because my map recognise the main roads only.

    The room was comfortable and clean, the area is silent so I could sleep really good. The host were of course also kind. If u gonna visit Garni, I’d recommend.

    This is a wonderful house, run by two lovely friendly people who will make sure you are comfortable throughout your stay. They werei like real grandparents, gave me delicious food, shared a family barbecue with me, and vegetables from the garden. The house is clean, spacious, and warm. And just up the road from a supermarket in Garni. I got a bit lost on the way, but if you go through the village, towards Goght, turn left then right after supermarket, and it's just up the road with a blue gate.

    It was wonderful to stay in the guesthouse an old Armenian husband and wife are managing. They are super lovely and heartwarming people. I spent time to drink coffee several times with them. They can't speak English but we can communicate with love. The hostel is very clean and there's no problem. I definitely can recommend to staying here!

    They neither speak a word in English nor do they know how to use Google translate.I wad shown a smaller different room than t8he one I booked. Location is wrong and the road to the house is so muddy, terrible&dark I end up with mud on my trousers and my travel boots 2 inchs deep I'm mud. It's a small country house where the old couple live. It's very uncomfortable to stay there where your every move is watched and you're made to feel as an intruder. I didn't feel comfortable using the kitchen or just hang out in the common space. Plus,you share the bathroom with the hosts and it was gross all the time. Food offered is very badly prepared and austere so prepare your meals yourself. Most importantly, i stopped in Garni for few days to recharge and relax for my next destination but I was constantly asked if I wanted to go here or there .And when I was about to order a taxi for 2500 to geghard monastery the grandfather offered to take me there instead of taxi later he asked me to pay him which I did but he wanted MORE!So if you're offered (free)car ride just decline and order yandex.

    Kind host lady who is trying to be helpful Quiet place at night so good sleep is guaranteed clean towels offered for free Good wifi for surfing only and the place was warm in comparison to other stone houses in region.

    Become part of the family with the loveliest elderly couple in town

    I cannot really complain about anything. There is something with water supply in Armenia that is a bit strange. Apparently, they turn off the water during the night or at some times during the day. Maybe because they don't have enough, I am not sure. But this is not grandpa and grandma's fault. I had the same issue in Dilijan. Water didn't work during the night, after 23:30 or so. Ah, I should add that they don't speak English, but with my basic Russian was more than enough to communicate. Their granddaughter speaks English though, so she can translate

    Best place to stay in Garni. A lovely elderly couple will welcome you in their house. The room is spacious and the bed super comfortable. Internet works well and they have a beautiful and big garden in the back. Grandpa came to pick me up from the main street and grandma was always offering me food. They were the loveliest human beings I met in Armenia. Amazing people. Their granddaughter came over during the weekend with her husband and they were also really kind people. Thanks to them I had such a great experience. Grandpa can also drive you to the main places around for a fee. Can only recommend. They're truly the best.

    The fridge in the bedroom is not a good idea as it's very noisy at night. No curtain so daylight comes in the room early.

    The place is run by a couple of "old" Armenians (no english is spoken). They are very welcoming and they will do everything to make your stay confortable. The house is huge. My room was large and the bed was good. Breakfast is possible for 2000 dram : almost everything is home made. The man can take you to Gherart monastery (2000 dram one way/3000 return).

    My booking stated "breakfast included" so I was a bit awkward the first morning when one wasn't ready or offered. I asked later on why and they told me it is a mistake on booking.com. Just be aware if you see same it is NOT included but available for 2000.

    Friendly small guesthouse. Treated to fruit from the garden on arrival. Comfortable room.

    The hosts have rented more sleeping places than they have. They rented outside Booking and we had to sleep in the living room and hallway.
