    Incredible hostel!! The staff are all so friendly, welcoming, helpful and super knowledgeable about all the local activities. Especially useful having bag storage while you’re trekking. Fantastic location, close to the lakeside and lots of yum places to eat. You can also get a great morning coffee from the Karma Cafe downstairs. Overall very relaxed vibes, will definitely be back again soon!

    the non-lake facing dorm can be hot and stuffy. Most nights it cools down but the fan is a must have so be sure you check it is working every night (mine is not super reliable)

    Simple backpacking accommodation but with everyone you’d expect from a well run hostel. Staffs are really nice and keep the place clean. It’s in the north lakeside so already a quieter place compared to the central lakeside location. But it sometimes gets loud sometimes from the traffic which interrupts the morning or evening zen.

    The location is quite special, you can see the lake from the hostel and the forest from the room, a perfect combination :) The rooms are very comfortable and clean, the common space is at the same time private and you can do whatever you feel like doing! The staff made my stay memorable, they’re very friendly, kind and helpful🌻

    Just a little confusion over my bus booking back to Kathmandu. Apparently my ticket was cancelled accidentally by one of the staff and when I came down to ask if the bus was coming, my ticket was then rebooked without my knowledge therefore I lost my original seating. Luckily it worked out.

    Exceeded my expectations. Staff were helpful and accommodated me throughout my stay. The location is great and a little more quiet which I enjoyed. The rooms are clean, modern and well maintained. I will definitely book again here if I come back.

    Dorm room was pretty good. Common area is not so huge but has a good view of the lake. Wifi works well and the staff are amazing. It is in a very good location.

    This has been the best hostel I've visited in ages! Amazing staff, including management! Everyone is very helpful and always in for a nice conversation. Enjoying the view over the lake which is perfect, while relaxing /working (Yes, WiFi is quite strong) from a very nice and spacious terrace, I've felt very comfortable from the 1st day. The place is also very well kept clean and you'll have very spacious and comfy beds. For a decent price you'll also have a decent breakfast. And good coffee! All in all, I definitely recommend staying here to everyone. Dhanyavād guys, I've had a beautiful time!

    Would highly recommend staying here!! Me and my partner stayed for a week in total and the staff eers so accommodating. My partner had a stomach bug for two days from a restaurant and the staff were so helpful in providing the right foods to help her feel better, medicine and offering to call a doctor if she didn't feel better. The scenario from the room is AMAZING and it has l the facilities you could want! Very much enjoyed our stay here for a very reasonable price. Thank you to all staff here.

    I loved everything. Remember, it is a hostel with private rooms. You will find young guests with young energy. Can annoy you if you are not used to the culture. There is nothing the hotel can do about it. They try their best to maintain a good environment.

    It has an amazing view of the lake. There are great cafés just 2 mins away. The staffs are so friendly that it felt like home. Bipin and Roshan are great, friendly managers. They communicate really well. I must mention Buddha, the cook, a cheerful guy with a very big heart (and small belly that he developed because he no longer gets to play football). And the little boy Biswas Gurung, who is a helping hand, will do anything to make you feel better. Of course, if you behave :).
