The newly-built 14 rooms are located in typical Bhutanese houses. The rooms are wonderful, most with a little covered balcony. After the long drives in Bhutan the bed, mattress and thick feather blanket were simply blissful and allowed for a deep and relaxing sleep. The view of the valley is fantastic, as is the food which is prepared mostly by... more

We have travelled many times in Bhutan, and our favorite spot to spend several days is bumthang, and especially in this hotel. The hotelowner has been a high government official, and takes being a host to his guests very serious. He will always meet his guests personally and is open to discuss the many subjects which will be of interest... more

After an horrific stay at Phuenshi Lodge in Trongsa (please avoid this place at all costs) - we arrived at the Jakar Village Lodge tired, hungry and quite upset. The owner's daughter, Karma, gave us a wonderfully warm welcome and could not do enough to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The rooms are lovely (cross between Western and... more

The Austrian training of the manager of Hotel Phutshok Pelri in Thimphu, Mr. Ngawang Jigme Lhendup, is most felt at Jakar Village Lodge in Bumthang state. Mr. Ngawang’s father, Mr. Gasey Lhendup owns and runs the lodge which has the feel of a European spa which has met Bhutanese style. Evidently, Mr. Ngawang was responsible for decorating the rooms at... more

Based on the limited previous reviews here on TripAdvisor I told my Bhutanese travel agent I wanted to stay at this property and specified a new room only. We were not disappointed. This was by far the best of daily tariff included (i.e non luxury) hotels we stayed in. The room was new with a very comfortable King size bed.... more

We stayed at this lodge during our visit to Bhutan last May. Such a relief to find a cozy modern room with a comfortable bed and mattress after a long drive from Punakha. The owner adds a perfect touch to our visit with his wonderful collection of books as well as for sharing many things about the Kingdom and its... more

The Management's son is in Hotel Management in Austria and I believe he chose... more

We were booked into this hotel on the "Gentle Trekking Bhutan" trip with Himalayan Kingdoms. Our guide waited until we'd checked in before telling us he was relieved we were all in the new room block rather than the old! We were most impressed with our modern room which had a king sized bed and pretty luxurious bathroom (although the... more

During our 12-day visit to Bhutan we ate a delicious dinner at Jakar Village Lodge. Fellow Californians, who were staying at the lodge, encouraged us to see their rooms. That group stayed in the high-standard wood-paneled rooms, so we were quite pleased to be shown the next level up, the newly renovated deluxe rooms. The six deluxe rooms have beautifully... more
