The only thing that could be a problem if you are very sensitive about smell: in some parts of the house you smell smoking - absolutly NOT in the room, only in the staircase.

Everything! Rubina and her family were absolutely amazing, we felt like visiting our grandparents. The room is very spacious, the bed comfy and the breakfast amazing. Fresh salads, homemade cake, coffee, tea... as we couldn't find any fresh vegetables in the shops in Tatev, we asked if we can buy some veggies from Rubina. She made us a amazing snackpackage for our hikingtour with cheese, fresh vegetables and cake. Thank you so much again!

I liked everything.

Wonderful mountain / garden view from my window. Delicious breakfast with various salads. Extra treats during the day, cake/ tea/ flatbread with herbs. Everything homemade and so good! Very sweet older couple!

Clean, very comfortable beds and warm blankets. Good breakfast. Really delicious home-made jams. Since the village is unpaved and roads turn muddy when it rains, if you're on foot and with wheeled luggage, ask the owner to pick you up from the highway in his car. He was nice enough to drop me off too and made sure I got on the right minibus (which he also booked).

Too many electric cables obstructing the view

You basically stay in the house with the sweetest couple ever, they welcomed us with tea, cakes and sweets which you can enjoy in their garden with an amazing view on the surrounding mountains. Breakfast was delicious too, as if you come to your grandmas house :)

That I did not have time to stay longer.

Very nice host, very cozy place with a nice view. They were very welcoming, I instantly got served tea and lots of cakes/baked goods. Very comfy bed. The place to stay in Tatev! Exceptional value for money. One of the best places I stayed so far.

All perfect. Google maps does not show the correct location but the map on Booking does.

This is the first time I wanted to give a property on Booking.com a rating of 11. Everything was wonderful. Tatev was the last stop for me on a 3 day hike from Goris. I stayed 2 nights here at Rubina bnb. Their home is beautiful and the breakfast (alot of it from their own garden) was the best I have had in Armenia. Everyone was extremely friendly and I felt welcome the whole time. VERY clean. Great hot water shower in a clean and spacious bathroom. I was treated to tea, Coffee, cakes, home made cherry jam and other sweets both evenings. This is in addition to the awesome breakfast. I feel like I should have payed more to be honest. Book this place!

You get what you pay for, and he has all budget rooms. Make a good choice and pay for what is right for you and the place is awesome.

I rolled in after a very long drive from Yerevan, a day after crossing the border by car from Georgia. The Armenian people are incredibly hospitable, I had a few problems in Yerevan with my hotel and with no exception, people went out of their way to help me. The drive into Tat'ev is not for the feint of heart, but I'm kinda used to the roads in the region. I had no idea what the place would be like and I was still a little unsettled from two days of very long drives. The location cannot be beat, it's waking distance to the Monastery in some of the most beautiful country on earth. I couldn't quite find the place and a local who spoke no English approached me and offered to help in the universal language that is hand gestures and reading one another's expressions. I told him the name of the hotel and he reached out his hand and said, "Ruben", pointing at his chest. He was the owner of the property, and about as cool of a guy as I have ever met. He has a few rooms, some in his own house and some in an adjacent place that is newly constructed. Both overlook the canyon, but the views vary by room. I paid for a smaller room, I didn't think too much about selecting something that was a fit for me, but it was a little too cramped (a totally great price for the room, but I needed a little more space at that moment). He understood and hooked me up in the new building which was awesome and just a class-act thing to do. When you are way off the beaten path you are in the hands of the locals, to a large extent. I enjoy that feeling but it can go a couple ways, depending on the place/people. This one went the great way, and I'll remember my breakfast early in the yard overlooking the canyon and the human connection I made with Ruben and his wife forever. What a cool place and what special people.
