The staff at this hostel are amazing! Shout-out to Arjun, Bibs and Maya and all of the other lovely folks working here. They are super friendly, and going back after our trek felt a bit like coming home. They deserve so much recognition as everyone is working their butts off haha! Otherwise, the rooms we had were really nice and clean and having breakfast included was also great. Very social place without being rowdy or loud. :)

Amazing hostel! Shared breakfast is super nice to meet other people, there is a lot of chill space and also a nice bar! Best place in Pokhara!

I think breakfast can be improved. And same for coffee.

I stayed in a private room and it was an amazing stay. Of course because it is a hostel there is chatting and a bit more noisy than a regular hotel but i loved staying at Kiwi. Super super clean and comfortable, nice views, beautiful terrace and great staff.

Many travellers there had gastroenteritis / food poisoning . Don’t if it was due to food at the hostel or something they all ate outside ? I was fine . Anyways I only have bottled water. So be careful . As your trek can get delayed if you are unwell to begin with .

Clean Peaceful I took a single room , and it was very good

This hostel had a good vibe from arriving to leaving. A nice breakfast in the morning was also best opportunity to swap stories n tips where to go etc. Special mention for Bips the best barmaid in Nepal. Always smiling n happy to chat. Suman the owner was a nice guy and would ask how your stay was and welcomed any suggestion to improve. I couldn't think of anything. Easy walk from Tourist bus station and close to Lakeside cafes and most sites to visit. Roof terrace and bar great. Chill area with books on ground floor.

As a traveler, I have visited 24 countries and stayed in hundreds of hostels, but I had a great time here! I came to stay for 1 week and stayed for 3 weeks. And during this time, I met wonderful people. The rooms and bathrooms are spotlessly clean, the staff is very kind and helpful. The terrace has a wonderful view and travelers sit around the fire in the evenings and chat! Special thanks to Arjun and Bips from the staff. You will feel like family here. I highly recommend this Hostel to all travelers! Hope to see you one day!

The breakfast : small and not good at all.

I had a great private room for myself. Very good price for this room: clean, very confortable, very clean bathroom with hot water whenever you like. The staff was helpful and nice. Amazing little bar upstairs to have drinks and snacks! Drinking water available. Well situated.

It was beautiful and clean, whilst having a great location. All staff were amazing from front desk staff to cleaning, cooking and security.

Hostel is quiet compared to the others on the same street, since it is shielded from the traffic by another building. The breakfast is good, and the space encourages people to meet and talk. Popular with trekkers when I was there.

Pokhara Backpackers was the best hostel we stayed at in Nepal. The overall vibe was great and the people who stayed here were the best kind of people. The staff constantly went so far above and beyond what they needed to, especially when my wife got sick. We miss you Arjun and Maya! The location was fantastic with good places to eat nearby. Breakfast was included and made for a great opportunity to meet other travellers / hikers - we made so many friends here, which is not surprising since we stayed here for 20 days during a 1 month stay in the area.

We loved Pokhara Backpackers. I think it would be a good idea to try out one big table in the bar area. The hammocks, bar stools, separate areas, etc made it difficult for people to sit together.

Nothing as specific

It's one of the best social hostels I have been to, I came here alone and going back with loads of good memories and friends. The complimentary breakfast was like a cherry on cake. The whole ambiance was so cool and positive

The only thing I didn’t like that I couldn’t stay there forever 😄

Best hostel ever. If you don’t book this, that’s your fault. The stuff is the most amazing one. I extended my stay two times just because I loved this hostel and the people there. It’s a very social hostel. Had an amazing time. Clean and you have hot water, even in the winter. Again, the stuff is the best. You will have an amazing time, trust me

The restaurant orders food in from somewhere else, I heard it's really good but stuff that

Comfiest rooms I had in Nepal, best facilities and such a chill place to stay. Super social hostel filled with awesome travellers. Couldn't recommend higher!

It was a bit dump in the room but i had this problem throughout Nepal in December. The location is a bit out of central lakeside.

I had a double room and it was perfect. Clean, big and quiet during the night. The staff was friendly and helpfull throughout my stay.
