My fiancee and I had a wonderful stay at JVL. The food was excellently prepared by a lovely lady, who is the owner's daughter. Room, although basic, was clean and comfortable with an attached balcony - perfect for relaxing with a book. The main draw of this place is the hospitality. Special thanks to Dasho Gasey Lhendup and his staff... More

This hotel has a lot of charm with its architecture and its locale with a view of the local dzong. Our room was comfortable with a cute little balcony and swing chair. The furniture and rugs were a bit mismatched but not really important. The one thing that could have been improved and that prevented a "very good" rating was... More

We had a not-too-pleasent experience at this place when we spent 2 nights here (March 21 & 22, 2012), even though it is rated highly on Tripadvisor. The owner who also runs and manages this hotel tried to palm off some meals we didn't consume when he presented our bill. He claimed that since we had not informed them in... More

An incredibly hospitable place to stay in Central Bhutan. The architecture reflects the local culture, and that extends to the interior of the rooms also. Pretty gardens and apple trees, good food, excellent service in the dining room make this a great choice. The owner/host is a great resource for all that's going on in the area - certainly more...

I recently spent 3 nights at the Jakar Village Lodge whilst visiting many places of interest in Bumthang. Excellent hotel in a great location above the Jakar Dzong. The room was quite beautiful with hand painted decorative walls, comfortable bed and chairs and even a lovely little balcony. The hotel is owned by a former Jakar district administrator who was...

This lodge is just lovely and everyone is very friendly. It is located on the side of the hill in a small village on your way up to Jakar Dzong. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the comfortable beds with doonas and quite room. We didn't hear any dogs which was a bonus. Our bathroom included a bathtub with shower... More
