Guest Reviews
- Harutyunyan (10/5): - Perfect view, kind and helpful staff, great location, very close to the Sanahin monastery
- Lukas (10/5): - Great place, appartments clean and well equipped, landlord very helpull with everything incl. transfers
- MIN (9/5): A Gem in Alaverdi – Exceptional Hospitality! - Valiva is clean, comfortable, and perfectly located halfway between Sanahin Monastery and the Mikoyan Museum. Both are within easy walking distance.
The host offers a private car service, which I highly recommend. I booked a one-day tour from Yerevan → Lake Sevan → Akhtala Monastery → Haghpat Monastery, ending at Valiva. On the second day, he even kindly drove me to the Alaverdi bus station for my next connection.
Also, be sure to pre-book the homemade dinner—his wife is an amazing cook and the portions are very generous! A shared kitchen is also available for guests if you prefer to cook for yourself. Highly recommended! You can’t talk about the service without considering the price — they’ve already done their best. Of course, it would be even better if some soundproofing could be added to the rooftop area.
- Elena (10/5): -
- Ivanna (10/5): - Все было отлично, в номере чисто и уютно. Помогли и добратися и уехать, 5 звезд мало чтобы оценить такой сервис
- Елена (10/5): В отеле появился внедорожник, на котором мы объездили кучу красивых мест. - Останавливаюсь здесь уже не помню в какой раз (наверное в шестой), всё как всегда прекрасно. Хозяин отеля недавно купил машину, на которой можно проехать по бездорожью, и теперь готов возить гостей по окрестностям, до которых без такой машины не добраться. Объездили на ней кучу очень красивых мест! Всем рекомендую этот отель!
- qiling (10/5): - 年轻夫妻两开的只有3间客房。位置很好,房间干净温暖。老板娘做的早餐美味可口,特别是焖青豆,很合中国人口味。 窗帘略小,不能完全遮住窗户
- Nelly Nouria (7/5): Expérience mitigée - Le jardin, la cuisine à disposition avec le lave linge, l’emplacement tout près du monastère, la vue et la sympathie et la disponibilité de Gevorg .
Le petit déjeuner copieux (en supplément) La literie est vraiment inconfortable (en tous cas dans notre chambre) .
Le prix exorbitant demandé pour les repas du soir ( plus cher qu’un très bon restaurant à Yerevan, du coup on ne les a pas pris)
- Po Yiu (10/5): - Clean and quiet place to stay, public kitchen have a washing machine is a huge advantage for travellers, breakfast's great, located close to sanahin monastery, and the starting point of the trek to haghpat. Highly recommend. Nothing
- Francesco (10/5): - Disponibile ed accogliente, consigliato!
- Shucheng (10/5): - 位置很好,就在米高扬兄弟博物馆和萨那欣修道院的中间,都很方便。小院子很漂亮,屋主有在用心打理。屋里有你想要的一切,十分精致,布置也很细心。
- Maxim (10/5): - Уютный номер около Санаина!
Дружелюбный хозяин, повозил нас на своей машине за отдельную плату по достопримечательностям.
Можно завтрак за 2000 драм на человека взять.
- Елена (10/5): Отличный отель! - Всё было как всегда прекрасно. Останавливались здесь уже раз пять. Очень приветливые хозяева, отличный завтрак, великолепный шашлык на ужин. До Санаинского монастыря 200 метров пешком.
- Maria Sole Piccioli (10/5): - La guest house è pulita, le stanze ampie e hanno bagni privati moderni. Il giardino è curato, silenzioso, ha la vista sulle montagne e splendido per un po' di relax. Ma soprattutto il proprietario è accorto, ti accoglie con caffè armeno e ti racconta la storia del posto con un buon inglese e da indicazioni per spostarsi. La posizione è perfetta per visitare il monastero e volendo prendere il sentiero di 11 km per Haghpat. Suggerita anche la colazione che è così abbondante da fare anche da pranzo, prodotti freschi, dolce e salato. Suggeritissimo! Tutto splendido!
- Bert (10/5): Exceptional - We were warmly welcomed by the friendly owner and his family. Room was clean, beds comfortable, countryside location was great. We slept very well and wish we could have stayed 1 more night.
- Max (10/5): Exceptional - An awesome place in the middle of the nature.
You will meet an amazing host. Do not hesitate asking for breakfast: it is the best I have ever had!
I totally recommend this place. Nothing
- Morris (10/5): Exceptional - This is a lovely little homely refuge in Sanahin, a stones throw away from the monastery. Gevorg and Mane are the kindest, most caring hosts. Gevorg greeted us on arrival and took the time to get to know us and make us feel welcome. We absolutely loved it here!
- Gabor (10/5): Good location. - The rooms are simple, nice and clean. The hosts are very kind.
- Jorge (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alike (9/5): Superb - It is so great that a washing machine is provided at the common area.
- Amitabh (8/5): Very good -
- Cyrus (10/5): Lovely stay, enjoy the surrounding and views. Super friendly owner whom built the place by himself. -
- Erica (10/5): Exceptional -
- Christian (10/5): Wonderful guesthouse with nice garden - New guesthouse 5 minutes walk to Monasty Sanahin. Run by a very nice family. The owner was very helpful to find transportation. For a really fair amount of money he picked us up from the bus station. His friend gave us a safe transport to Tbilisi. Thanks again for everything, especially the breakfast prepared by the nice wife of the owner.
- Anna (10/5): Exceptional - Causy room, excellent services, very nice owner and staff, perfect location. The room was convenient with all new facilities, simple yet esthetic and functional. The owner and the staff were extremely friendly and nice. The location was just 5 min walking distance from Sanahin complex. Highly recommend
- Roselynd (10/5): Exceptional - Special place, had some amazing days there. Very sweet host.
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - We stayed one night at VaLiVa. Gevorg has built a great place, very clean and light with excellent modern facilities. Hot water with good pressure in the shower. Gevorg was very helpful and friendly. He drove is to Haghpats and we hiked back, with a stop at the Sanahin bridge. Breakfast was good. The location was excellent, right near the monastery.
- Kerry (8/5): Simple, friendly village stay near hiking - Simple, no frills guesthouse, but great location to access the nearby monasteries (5-min walk) and hikes. Very friendly, helpful, and attentive staff. Breakfast (for a fee) was delicious. Rooms have tiling flooring so were slightly cold in late fall/early winter; there is a space heater and blankets so the sleep is fine. Guesthouse did not have a sign so was a bit difficult to find.
- Yuan (10/5): Strongly recommend! - 5-8 minutes walking distance to Sanahin Monastery.Very pleasant time spent in this lovely yard with honest owner. Hope we could have more time to live there. None.
- Susan (9/5): Superb - Fantastic proximity to the HikeArmenia app walk Sanahin to Haghpat walk which is stunning. Hosts lovely in every way. They called the driver and reserved us a place on bus to the border with Georgia and took us to the bus stop in the the morning too with coffee plus an amazing stay
- Sophie (10/5): A highly comfortable stay in a clean, cozy, and well-located guesthouse with exceptionally friendly - It was a pleasure to stay at this wonderful place. The location is truly great - a stunning view of the surrounding mountains, conveniently located near the historic Sanahin Monastery and Mikoyan brothers' museum.
The guest house is newly built and impeccably clean. My room was cozy, comfortable with a homely atmosphere.
The most enchanting and exceptional thing here - it's the hospitality of the hosts. This wonderful family is incredibly friendly, accommodating, and always ready to assist with anything you may need.
I'm immensely grateful to the hosts for their warmth and hospitality. I hope to have a longer stay here on my way back from Georgia :)
