Had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Lava. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making the stay very relaxing. What stood out the most was the staff everyone was extremely polite, friendly, and helpful throughout our visit. The overall atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The hospitality was genuinely appreciated, and the beautiful surroundings of Lava were an added bonus. Overall, a lovely place to stay if you’re visiting Lava. I would definitely recommend it and would be happy to stay here again!

Unforgettable stay literal steps from the sky! Five stars aren't enough for this stunning property. The location is spectacular—panoramic views of green hills and massive mountains everywhere you look. Keep your balcony doors open! The weather changes beautifully throughout the day, and we actually had clouds rolling right into our bedroom. It felt incredibly luxurious yet wildly adventurous all at once. Exceptional hospitality by Mr. Dorjee and his family. Monastery is just a walk away from this place . At the entrance of Lava Clean rooms, breathtaking scenery, and an unforgettable experience. I will definitely be back!

Staying in Bee hive home stay in Lava like living in heaven with true natural terrain of hills and forest. Bee hive has set a new bench mark for guest staying in home stay with budget cost but quality of service is better than hotel in all aspects

I had an amazing stay at this homestay. Its location is perfect—peaceful and away from the crowds, yet close enough to the market. The owners are incredibly helpful and made the experience even better.
