Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 115 reviews
Lumbini Buddha Garden is a quiet and tranquil resort close to the birthplace of Lord Buddha, at Lumbini in south-central Nepal. The garden boasts a private haven of tranquility surrounding the resort, in a sense a spiritual ‘buffer zone’ from the outside world for visiting tourists. The Lumbini Buddha Garden is set in a natural environment so that, during a stay, our guests feel that they are living in true harmony with nature.
Attentive Service, Peaceful Surroundings, Lovely Room & Great Food!!
Reviewed By onehandspeaksI picked this resort based on other reviews and I am glad I did. I am on a pilgrimage to the Birthplace of Buddha and the Maya Devi Temple. As soon as I arrived I was greeted with the staff's smiling faces. I was taken to the dinning room to relax and get something to drink. From that moment the staff was very attentive, responsive, and kind. The room was extremely clean and the air conditioner worked great. This is important due to the high temperatures in Lumbini. Each morning I was amazed and filled with joy as to the variety and sounds of all the birds in the resort's peaceful courtyard. The only thing better than the birds singing in the morning, was the quality of the food. WOW!! Everything was delicious. I decided to take a Tuk Tuk each way to Maya Devi Temple and the resort was happy to call for one every time. I did not want to walk the distance to the sacred garden grounds in the Lumbini heat. Overall I had a fantastic experience at the Lumbini Buddha Garden Resort.

Buddha-Maya Garden Hotel is owned and managed by the famous KGH Group. You may wake up to the sound of chirping of birds and religious hymns and take a morning walk to the Lumbini Sacred Garden or mediate in ancient archeological ruins, you can also visit the Monastic Zone to see the fascinating archeological ruins, and magnificent monasteries. In evening, stroll in the Tharu village at Buddha Nagar to observe age old culture and tradition.
Not awful but feels tired
Reviewed By pdmancsFor my overnight stay in Lumbini, I chose to stay at the Buddha Maya Garden rather than a standard guest house because I knew I’d have some free time and the idea of a nice place with a pool to relax in appealed. The pool was decent, and there were a few sun loungers, although I had to help myself to a mattress and towels. The area was a bit of a mess and unsupervised. Then just after I ordered some lunch, a member of staff began to pressure wash around the pool. Not really conducive to relaxing! It’s a strange hotel, stuck in its ways and showing its age. Totally lifeless apart from a couple of groups having meetings. Not sure if they were guests or not. I almost felt like I was in the way! The staff were pleasant enough but seem to just go through the motions. Breakfast a bit lacklustre. My room had the biggest bed I’ve ever seen, but it was pretty well worn and without things like a safe and hairdryer which you’d probably expect at this price point. There was a TV - local channels only, but it didn’t work anyway! The bathroom, especially the bath itself, was looking very tired. Most frustratingly I couldn’t even use the bath because the water never got any hotter than tepid. Perhaps the most irritating thing was that the Wi-Fi user name and password kept changing. I was only there 24 hours and I was on the fourth combo when I left!
3. Pawan Palace by Pawan Group of Hotels

Best hotel in Lumbini
Reviewed By CheccoForgione1887This property is not centrally located (you'll need a 10-minute tuk tuk ride) and not 100% handy as such to visit Lumbini's temples but it's hand down the best one around especially if you are keen to avoid sleeping in a guesthouse. The room was very ample and comfortable, so was the bed. WIFI worked fine and was reliable throughout the stay. Good restaurant too although a bit overpriced to be perfectly honest. Staff absolutely gorgeous, which is quite typical in Nepal.
4. Mirage Inn

4.5 based on 5 reviews
Good, solid 3* hotel, very close to the sights
Reviewed By marqoos_plLOCATION & ATTRACTIONS NEARBY *** Located in the main part of Lumbini town, just few steps away from one of the gate to get to the Maya Devi Temple and Old Shakya Temple. It’s literally few minutes away, walking. After that, I recommend to negotiate an auto-rikshaw (they have electric ones now) to see all other temples and the World Peace Pagoda (distances are huge, so this is very efficient way to do it), it’s not expensive and definitely more comfortable. Also, if you’re travelling by bus, they will be probably stopping somewhere in the area. There are some food and souvenir shops just 2 min away from the hotel. HOTEL OVERVIEW *** It is quite basic hotel, not very pretty (like most buildings in Lumbini), built in a bit chaotic style (outside). If you’re travelling by car, you can leave it in front of the hotel or in the secured place behind the hotel (behind the gate). PURPOSE OF THIS TRIP *** Leisure RESERVATION *** Via ebookers.ie (expedia) as they offered the best pre-paid rates. LENGTH OF MY STAY *** 1 night – Mar 2019 CHECK-IN *** We arrived in the early evening after long and tired full journey from Kathmandu (I was driving myself). The amount of dust we consumed on the way was unbelievable. So what we needed, was a quick check-in and shower. We’ve been accommodated immediately and helped with our luggage. Rooms were allocated as requested as we’re travelling with friends. Check-in was quick and hassle-free. We’ve been advised of the meal options and what / when / where to go the next day. I also requested if they have somebody to help with the car wash (yes, unusual request, but my car was actually covered in 1 cm layer of dust) and they helped with it (of course I paid for it as intended). LOBBY & RECEPTION *** Small reception where you can also get some drinks. There’s restaurant attached to it where we decided to have our dinner. Menu was quite simple, but good choice and food was delicious. We were very happy with this choice. ROOM *** Standard Rooms #203 & #202 were allocated for us. Rooms were quite small and basic, but this is exactly what I paid for. I have to admit, the price we paid was silly low, so I wasn’t expecting any luxurious. Room was clean and fresh, with two beds (quite hard mattress’). Air-conditioner unit was quite noisy, but the fan was absolutely fine most of the time. There was small wardrobe, mirrors and coffee/tea making kit. Complimentary 2 bottles of water were also provided. As I said, nothing special (this is not a luxury hotel), but more than I expected and paid for. BATHROOM *** Similar to the room, standard, but clean. Some soap was provided, but you may consider having your own toiletries. BREAKFAST *** We paid for the breakfast in the hotel and this was very good idea. The selection was enough and same as dinner, quite tasty. Definitely recommend doing it instead of walking around and trying to find something else. No point of wasting your time. INTERNET ACCESS *** Wi-Fi was free of charge, easy to access and signal was very strong. CHECK-OUT EXPERIENCE *** We checked-out in the morning after breakfast, left our luggage and also left our car for few hours until we’re back from our sightseeing. All bill was paid (by card) and all was smooth and hassle-free. The only negative comment I have with the check-out… As we’re going to depart, I could not find my action camera (which I use also as on board car camera). After few minutes searching the guy from reception came back with the device. It was found when cleaning the room. I was glad for it, but… if I didn’t search for it, probably I would not be told that this was found in the room (and I know because the camera recorded everything…). I deleted it already, but just for the future guys… STAFF *** Very helpful and quick. I really appreciated quick check-in, communication before arrival, room allocation, help with the car wash. OVERVIEW *** This is a good 3* hotel. Price is very low and definitely worth it. Hotel was actually better than I expected. I’m giving score 4/5, but this is not a four star hotel – this place is BASIC. Would I stay there again? Yes.
5. Hotel Nansc Lumbini
Overall Ratings
3 based on 20 reviews
Devkota Chowk, which is the heart of this peaceful city, is centrally located and one of the most easily accessed destination that is linked with well transportation service in Bhairahawa. Approximately two minutes walk away to south our property "Hotel NANSC" humbly welcomes you and shares your support. It is the gateway city to the holy place Lumbini that is exactly 20.4 km (34 minutes) away via Taulihawa Road. We are accurately 2.5 Km away from the Indian border Sunauli and 2.5 km away from the Gautam Buddha Airport of Bhairahawa. Following our traditions, we believe in our teachings "Atithi Devo Bhawa" which means “Guest is god”. With the same belief we would like to invite you to Hotel Nansc lumbin.
Improved service this time
Reviewed By prembdrranaNearly a year after, I stayed at Nansc. Unlike last time where I was given a room where air-conditioner was not working, bathroom tap dripping all night despite informing to fix it and very pathetic breakfast (an omelette and 2 slices of toast) on B&B package, this time the room was clean, fresh, no issues with bathroom nor air conditioner and amazingly a good breakfast. So this time quite satisfied with the service.

Best of all, Hotel Ananda Inn makes it easy to experience some great Lumbini attractions like World Peace Pagoda, which is a popular architectural building. Enjoy your stay in Lumbini!
Good Location for Visiting Lumbini
Reviewed By TaranitaHandy for visiting Lumbini. Very nice and helpful staff. I left early on the final morning, and the staff made me a packed breakfast to take on my coach trip to Kathmandu. Cold at night with no heating. Restaurant with varied manu, and decent breakfast.

Nathm tour guide group
Reviewed By Suman XThey had good rooms with updated amenities and location was also great but unfortunately the fnb service staffs were very unfriendly and food was also not satisfying especially I'm amazed when I ask for bowl for lentil soup, service staff handed me small plastic cup and told me that they don't have bowel in their hotel.As I'm also from hospitality business this type of service attitude is not good for near coming future. At least hotel have to train their staffs about service manners.

Awesome tour guide
Reviewed By TravellingArr0undI didn't stay in the lodge but I happened to come across the owner and had a tour to maya devi with him. He really cares about making the visitors understand the history of the place and why it's important for Buddhism. He is also very nice and helps out to organise anything you need. Totally worth the visit and specially the tour.
