  : Lovely and Very hospitable family, tasty homemade food, quiet location in a lovely garden. Apartment was clean.
  : Location is great to relax but you need a car because it's far from supermarkets, cash machines, astronophysical observatory, etc .

  : Nice, quiet setting on the slopes of Mt Aragats, with nice views from the balcony of the Ararat valley below and also with the mountain itself in the distance. Nice lush garden with plenty of fruits.
  : No shared kitchen (knew that beforehand, so no complaints about it, just would be nice to be able to use one though). Communication was a bit tricky if you are not fluent in Russian/Armenian. Helped us arrange transportation to Kari Lake, but charged us quite a lot and didn't want to bargain at all - felt ripped off. If you're planning to stay here only to hike Mt Aragats the next day, better have your own transport or rather base yourself in Yerevan or Ashtarak.

  : The owner at this accommodation really overdelivered, being hospitable, generous, and taking us on a tour of his amazing orchard. The bathroom is clean and includes both towel and shampoo, and while the rooms are small and basic, they're good value for the price. The location is beautiful and has convenience stores and a bus stop for the bus to Yerevan just downhill from the orchard.
  : There is no dedicated kitchen for the guests, but it's hardly an issue since you're welcome to use the family's kitchen.
