COMO Uma Bhutan

Lovely hotel with excellent views over Paro and set in lovely grounds. Food was good, especially the all day menu. Comfy rooms, nice spa area and enjoyed the yoga studio and steam room. Would definitely consider staying at other hotels in this group again. Not good though that you can’t pay with an international credit card which requires chip and pin

This was our last of four lodgings in Bhutan and the most touristed location which made it not quite as serene as the other 3 and really quite popular. The location makes it the natural to do the Tiger's Nest hike which is totally unmissable. Given that the other lodgings included Aman and Six Senses we were delighted with Como and loved the food, service and vibe

We stayed at this beautiful place during our Bhutan Trip. Upon arrival we were a bit disappointed as the room assigned was very small (not what we are used to from Como). We were able to talk to the manager who assisted us in upgrading us to a Villa. The villa was fantastic. More that the actual room it was the service we received from everyone but particularly from our butler - Casper. He is incredible - paying attention to every detail, assisting us in issues, taking care of preparing special meals, providing over the counter medication for upset stomach, responding immediately to any of our request. Casper made our stay at Como Paro very special and unforgettable. Thanks you for the great experience from all.

We stayed here for 4 nights as part of a 6 night Como Historical Odyssey trip, the other 2 nights were at Como Punakha. For the trip we had two guides Yarab and Chimi who were absolutely excellent, they couldn’t do enough to show us Bhutan. Yarab had a huge amount of experience having been with Como since it opened and similar but not so long for Chimi our driver. We saw some amazing places,temples, valleys, mountains including the highest unclimbed mountain in the Himalayas. We were very fortunate with the weather as we had blue sky and sun every day. Both Yarab and Chimi made us feel exceptionally welcome in their homeland. We ended our trip on our very best day with a hike up to see the Tigers Nest Monastery, which although tiring was certainly worthwhile climbing to 3100m to experience it. Como Uma Paro itself was very nice, its sister hotel in Punakha I would rate more highly, there was just something about the service that was more personal. The rooms in Paro were very good, they probably need a bit of a refurb in the hotel but the views are stunning. We used the swimming pool and had a hot stone bath and massage particularly good after the Tigers Nest hike. WiFi was good, bathrooms fine, we found the hallways and communal areas a bit cold, the restaurant was fine with their wood burning fire. Food was very nice both the Bhutanese and Western, again I would say Punakha was better but all in all still pretty good. A great way to experience 6 nights in Bhutan, with two excellent ambassadors for Bhutan and Como.

We spent 4 days and 3 nights at Como Paro, and it was easily one of the best travel experiences of our lives. The star of our trip was our guide, nicknamed L. At just 35 years old, he is a powerhouse of passion, warmth, and knowledge—whether it’s Buddhism, Bhutanese history, or the culture of his country, he explains it with such clarity and enthusiasm that every moment becomes inspiring. The very morning we arrived at the hotel, L sat down with us to truly understand what we liked, what we didn’t, and what kind of pace we wanted. He then crafted a perfectly balanced itinerary—tailored exactly to us—that felt like it was designed by someone who had known us for years. By the second day, he already anticipated our stamina and preferences better than we did ourselves. On top of that, L is a world-class photographer. He knows all the secret photo spots that tourists would never find, and the pictures he captured for us are priceless. He even arranged a magical visit to a local family’s home where we rolled up our sleeves and learned to make traditional Bhutanese food—an experience we will never forget. Back at the villa, our butler Casper also deserves recognition. Always attentive and energetic, he made sure everything ran smoothly and added warmth to our stay. All in all, Como Paro delivered luxury and comfort, but it was the people—especially L and Casper—who turned our stay into something extraordinary. If you are coming to Bhutan, do yourself a favor and request L as your guide. You’ll walk away not just with memories, but with stories and experiences you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
