No fridge, no microwave, but comfortable beds, clean, nice open restaurant for breakfast or lounging. I enjoyed playing fetch with Lava the Boston terrier dog. Isabela the owner was lovely. Breakfast was simple but fresh - eggs made to order, fresh fruit, yogurt and a fresh roll. About a 5 minute walk into the main shopping/restaurant area by the pier, but also other restaurants in the area. AC in room worked well. Only complaint would be the neighbor’s dog that liked to bark for 15-20 min in the morning and at night. Otherwise - a lovely visit! Recommended if you want something quiet and comfortable. ##### Paula Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole Dec 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect place to stay in Santa Cruz! I had an incredible stay at Lava House Hostel and would definitely stay here again! It was comfortable, peaceful, tranquil, comfortable, and quiet. I love hammocks and they have several around the property that I used to read and relax after a long day exploring and snorkeling. My room was clean, the bed was comfortable, I love that I had a view of the beautiful, lush garden and had chairs outside that I could use to enjoy the views anytime. My room came with free home cooked breakfast each morning and it was delicious! They also had a filtered water station at reception. The hostel is about a 5min walk into town, but far enough away that the noise isn't a concern. Lava, the adorable black and white dog on the property would love to play fetch with you too! Thank you for a great say! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0AAC2C323114B1F97B469CC47A69DB6E93E90D5B1735162882571.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/48957C6EEC7D9E478010B8FC3A5979CD488161FC1735162881677.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/900CA2948CFE07D636DF274EA1E0EF86FE3861181735162883702.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B2A8DDB9E69242261A9E437EF2A2B8E6D63067F41735162883943.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nicole Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### José Mar 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing place.

There was a very friendly dog. ##### Aleks Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Aleks Feb 10, 2024 Liked: Staff & service 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. ##### Aleks Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### ANA LAURA Nov 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### ANA LAURA Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Camila Nov 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort A estadia foi bastante prazerosa. O quarto é bastante amplo, confortável e limpo. Isabel, sua família e funcionários são todos atenciosos, fazendo me sentir em uma casa. E o café da manhã é variado e farto. Recomendo a todos a hospedagem em Lava House, espero voltar. ##### Camila Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LLUIS Oct 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ![Breakfast](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1419795BD70644BCA17C225813F78EC0B883171B1698356249668.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E56FF71BD93640AE944210FFC675217DD020E7D61698356311778.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Hotel](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/859602632FF2C1821347258857EF5468726F1A481698356335320.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### LLUIS Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathryn Jul 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nicole, front desk receptionist and the young women that served us breakfast were lovely, friendly, helpful and most accommodating. ##### Kathryn Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Jun 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very attentive staff. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Evelyn Jun 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Hermoso sitio!

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! ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Tania Apr 17, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Muy bien ##### Tania Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ada Dec 23, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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.
