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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
