LaurianNLFijn hostel met een mooie tuin in een rustige omgeving
Prachtige tuin en het tweekamer appartement was goed verzorgd. De gastvrouw was erg aardig en heeft ontbijt voor ons verzorgd toen we heel vroeg naar de boot moesten.
Iets verder van de haven, 10 minuutjes lopen. Op zich…

Desayuno muy básico
陽介Japan快適でした。
朝食がおいしく、コーヒーや紅茶が飲み放題で良かった。ガーデンの彩りや雰囲気が良く、共用部は快適な空間であった。
部屋の庇に鳥の巣があり、その鳴き声や近所の犬の鳴き声で深夜に目が覚めることが多々あった。また、シャワーのお湯の温度が安定していなかった。

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

Questions about Lava House Hostal
What time is check-in and check-out at Lava House Hostal?
Check-in is from 12:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Lava House Hostal allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Lava House Hostal?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Is breakfast included at Lava House Hostal?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Lava House Hostal have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Lava House Hostal?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Lava House Hostal have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Lava House Hostal?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
