10 Top-Rated Lodges in Nepal

May 3, 2023 Brain Ambrose

The near otherworldly Himalayan kingdom of Nepal can trace its history back to the 7th century and the arrival of Kirati sheepherders. Today, misty temples perch on rugged ridges, monasteries peer over deep valleys, faded by centuries, and Kathmandu's Old City brims with ancient Buddhist temples and ornate palaces.

Raniban Retreat

Raniban Retreat is perched on a secluded ridge top 700m above The Phewa lake, and the town of Pokhara.Reach us by rowing boat and trekking on a well made trail, or by road in 15 minutes from Lakeside, and you will be a world away from the grime and noise of Lakeside tourist hotels. The World Peace Pagoda is our only neighbour. The stunning view is what really makes us special. From our rooms and terraces we enjoy heart stopping views to the mighty Annapurna range, Phewa Lake, and the Peace Stupa. All our rooms are cosy when it's colder, cool when it's hot and look out onto the stunning view to the north. Our excellent restaurant menu features seasonal specials, and many dishes feature herbs and vegetables grown in our own organic gardens.

View, Hospitality, Food, staff's behaviour, internet speed, transports everything is 10/10 in our perspective. It's heaven on ea

In case of accommodation everybody love their own house the most. On that note i can say I have a heavenly house in Pokhara on the hilltop of Raniban with a breathholding view of the Himalayas and tranquility that's called "Raniban Retreat." Site head Pradip Dai (a true gentleman) driver Dasu Ram ji they became like family member. And the director Akshov ji, how helpful he is! We stayed there for 4 nights and we shall recall these memories and hospitality of them till our last breath. And i don't know what to tell about the delicious & fresh meals we had there. I can only say, we will must be back there again and again if almighty allows. I wish Raniban Retreat may go a very long way and provide hospitality to the nature-lovers & seekers of peace for upcoming thousands of years.

The hotel service is top. The owners are running the hotel by themselves so you can be sure of the quality. Staffs are very friendly. Reasonable price for good and clean room. You can also have lunch and dinner here. There are pomelo trees and guava trees in front of the building that we can taste :) just be careful with the mosquito. The hotel provides an electric mosquito repellant in the room. The hotel is very well located. It is so close to Thamel area where you can find everything. Thamel area could be very busy and noisy but we do not hear any noise from our room. We have a very good sleep here.

I recently spent two night at this resort and have to say that it was one of my worst travel experiences. We were taking for a boat ride in the river, which was pleasant and were expected to meet down the river bank with a set up picnic to view the sunset. When we arrived, there was no one there and were told that there was a slight delay and the set up would be done in five minutes. The five minutes turned into one hour and there was a “no show”. We stood at the bank like idiots while the rest of the customers from the other resorts enjoyed a relaxed sunset. I rang and tried to talk to the manger who had nothing but excuses to present which seemed to suggest that it was not their fault. Not only was he not helpful but also rude, impolite and lacked the basic communication skills to deal with a justifiably irate client. Upon return to the resort, I asked to meet the manager but he was conveniently absent. I categorically asked to speak with him, but he did not show up and even when we left the next morning he was no where to be found. I guess he did not think that it was worthwhile or necessary to personally explain and apologize to the client. I have never felt so taken for granted in my entire life. There was also no hot water in the room and when we had complained we were told that “perhaps we had turned the wrong nob” because there is constant “boiling” water in the property (we must be a bunch of idiots). They however promised to look into it and assured us of hot water but when we returned after the no show - “no hot water” (why am I not surprised). They then promised to look into the matter and at around 10:00 said they would send an electrician!!!! Two days no shower is not a fun way to experience a safari. On the positives, the support staff was friendly and genuinely welcoming , the food was good (nothing to rave about but good), the jungle safari was fun if you were willing to overlook the dilapidated condition of the vehicle, the room was simple but spacious but evident that they had not done a check to see if it was in good order before clients were hosted (power plugs not working, no batteries in the remote, not well aeriated etc). The entire set up lacked the “eye for details”. Over all very disappointed and would not recommend this resort to anyone who is looking for a relaxing, rejuvenating and stress free experience.

As hotel was on the bank of river and now on river army has built short of wall so one side of flow is not there and became tar road and lots of hotels popped up. Room was cleaned. Staff is very friendly particularly Mr. Arjun. Unfortunately in the month of May 3rd May) it was raining very heavily. Breakfast has little choice but sufficient. Book your activities and forward bus journey by yourself only do not do it through hotel staff. In house restaurant has limited menu but food was very good and reasonable. Lots of nice hotels in the vicinity at same rate with better infra and facilities.

I can only highly recommend Rainbow Safari. The owner is lovely and helpful. The tours arranged and the guides organised are just fantastic. The food was great and the setting is lovely. The only issue were the showers, they were very cold! But it didn't dampen the great time we had! Thank you for a wonderful experience.
