    The wifi was slow but you could get fast wifi at the office. This time of the year there is lots of smoke in the air.

    Location was very good. The staff would knock on our door whenever there was a rhinoceros nearby so we could see it. Our first day we saw elephants. Owner set up tours and transportation. Lots of hot water. Good fridge. On site guide. Friendly staff.

    The new building meant that we could not see the river from our room, but this is just a small thing compared to all the other good points.

    We were the first visitors after the place had experienced a flood from the river overflowing from the previous week. To have cleared all the mess from the floods was an amazing effort by the owner and his team as it meant we were able to have a very enjoyable stay and not rearrange anything. They were in the middle of some building works but they had acknowledged that on the Booking.com info, and as it was during the day, it didn't really affect us as we were out on tours. We did a walking tour and jeep safari on one day, both of which were excellently led by our guide Mangara. On the the other day we went to 20,000 lakes where saw loads of birds, some deer and marsh muggers (crocodiles). The breakfasts were good and the room was very comfortable with good A/C. All in all, a lovely couple of days.

    The shower pressure wasn’t great, more like a trickle of water, and with it being so hot/humid a good shower is really important. Ok for a couple of nights but would struggle staying any longer.

    The location of the property is perfect (on the Main Street) and the staff are really helpful and nice. The room itself great value for money and good for a couple of nights. The outside is beautiful and the room is comfortable with AC and a fan.

    Fortunately, the property is lucky to be expanding and building new rooms... unfortunately, the foundations were being dug during our stay, and the new building is going to be right in front of the old one. We couldn't really sit out on the balcony when they were working as it was noisy and dusty. More outside seating for breakfast would be much better as you look out onto the river. Balcony chairs weren't very comfortable even though they look in keeping with the style.

    Enjoyed our stay here very much, our host was really friendly and offered help whenever we needed it, but wasn't always bothering us. The staff who served us breakfast were always really kind and polite. Beautifully tended garden, full of blooming dahlia's. Clean room, huge bed, lovely bathroom with excellent shower, hot water never a problem. We had a room overlooking the river which was great. Great location in the heart of Sauraha, but nice and quiet, which we liked.

    Breakfast a little basic if I’m nitpicking.

    Spacious & spotless room with lovely balcony exceeded my expectations. Felt like being in the countryside even though it is a central location on the Main Street. Saw a rhino grazing just a few metres outside the fence and saw an elephant bathing in the river.

    Hot water for the shower was hit & miss, the water was always cold in the mornings. The shower head was blocked, but it was fixed as soon as I made them aware. The mattress was very hard & could feel & hear the springs in it. The WiFi only worked near the restaurant & would drop out, not a big for me as I had mobile data, but may affect others.

    Very friendly staff, great location with easy access to the main street for restaurants etc & a shortcut to the river too. A wild rhino visited several times to eat the grass in front of the restaurant & the vacant block next door. The fence provided protection while able to admire him at close range. The garden surroundings provide some welcome relief from the hot & dusty Main Street area. Krishna assisted with booking cultural program & jeep safari & transfer to the airport.

    Except for breakfast, the meals seemed to be made on request. This is a great service and there where lots of options, but sometimes it took a while to get it.

    Very beautiful, well maintained and peaceful garden where you can sit to eat or read or relax, which looks out on nature and the river. Overall a lot of green and beautiful flowers. Hospitable owner/manager who loves to make a chat with all guests. Overall felt very homelike and personal. Different kinds of food available.

    Everything was great, but I was overcharged for the last morning ride to the airport (3000 for less than half hour drive), which led to slightly bitter closure to what otherwise was a great stay.

    Centered right in town. Older property, which made it feel more remote than it was. Hotel set up our activities and provided excellent guides.

    Breakfast is a bit underwhelming. Electricity was down multiple times. The private full-day safari tour that we booked (operated by the resort) claimed that lunch is included but it turns out to be just basic fried rice (just rice basically) and 1 boiled egg.. 1 apple and a juice box. sitting on the ground without a basic chair, just a plastic ground sheet... For a tour price more than 30K npr... it's not worth the money.

    the resort location was great and the view from the room is nice, peace and quiet place exactly what we wanted. In the evening, there are some rhinos hanging out nearby the resort as well. Quite cute tho. Good surprise pick-up service at the bus station that we didn't know before hahaha

    Room smelt slightly of smoke. Wifi connectivity was close to none. We had to use data most of the time. Water in the shower was lukewarm on our second night.

    Really beautiful outdoor area. Plenty of room to relax in a beautiful environment. (benches, gazeebo. Our room had a small patio, which was a nice area to relax and enjoy the beautiful garden. Helpful and nice Staff, especially Krishna the owner. They offered us a welcome drink and gave us some information about the National Park, which was very interesting. They helped us organize our bus trip back to Kathmandu and even drove us to the bus park for free. Restaurant was convenient and offered good food. Breakfast was satisfying. Bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Overall an extremely pleasant stay! Would visit again.

    Very comfortable bed and attentive staff. We did a short afternoon museum and walking tour along the river which was great for the afternoon we arrived. The location is convenient for the restaurants in town with lovely gardens that are well maintained. The owner was very helpful- he offered us lots of national park tour options when we first arrived but then didn't hold it against us when we decided to book our tours through a different company
