Very disappointing experience. The atmosphere was awful, and the staff were rude and unprofessional. We witnessed staff arguing in front of guests, and when we complained about the terrible road, it turned into an argument. I later found out that a friend also gave this place a one-star review because of concerns about sewage water allegedly going into the river. With so many other hotels in Dilijan, I would definitely choose somewhere else.

Loved the atmosphere and the fact that there were animals everywhere. The pig was adorable. Didn’t expect to leave a hotel review mainly about a pig, but here we are )))

Peace is in the air… 🌿 If you’re looking for a real getaway to unwind and disconnect, with no polished touches, just pure nature, this is the place. The only thing to keep in mind is that the access road isn’t paved, so an SUV is definitely recommended.

If you want peace and quiet, this is your place. It amazed us. Only the road to the property is a bit tricky. Take your warm clothes and be ready to live in a mountain farm

An amazing place where you can relax your soul and reconnect with nature. I spent a week there and didn't want to leave. The rooms are simple but comfortable. The food is delicious, homemade, and a huge thank you to the chefs. Special thanks to Eric from the restaurant, a very pleasant and warm-hearted guy. He's very responsible in his work. He's always happy to help you, give you advice, and even just chat with you. 🫶🏻
