    Nothing

    It was like home. Sara and sudan were very welcoming. Sudan organised my trek for me and lent me his equipment so i didn't have to buy any. I left my valuable things with them when i went travelling then stayed a further 19 days on my return. They were so accomodating and it was really nice to sit and have dinner and chat with them every morning. I had various rooms during my 24 day stay and they were all comfortable. The views from the rooftop are beautiful.

    TOO MUCH NOISE, I COULD NO SLEEP WELL. NO SINK IN THE BATHROOM, NO HOT WATER, KIND HOTEL OWNERS
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Small Double Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The room we stayed in was very noisy. I couldn't sleep from the sound of dogs in the evenings, the roosters in the morning and the shouting of people in the next building. That's why I bought myself earplugs from the pharmacy. When we first went to the hotel, Sara told us that we had reserved the smallest room and that we could change it to a room with a private bathroom if we wanted, by paying extra. So, we accepted her offer. However, we realized later that there is no sink in the bathroom. For this reason, we had to go to the other bathroom constantly to wash our hands and brush our teeth. So actually having our private bathroom didn't work and did not mean anything. We paid extra 1200 Nepalese Rupees for nothing. There was no hot water in the room either. We had to take a shower with cold water. The walls in the room are very dirty. One of the plugs was not working very well. There was a kitchen on the upper floor and we were told that we could use this kitchen if we wanted. We went to the kitchen to make tea etc. I saw two cockroaches in the kitchen. The kitchen was not clean. Our room was not that clean either. So, as someone who has visited more than 20 countries, I can say that I have stayed in better places for less money. If a little more attention was paid to the hotel, I think it could be something much better. I read the reviews before booking the room and everyone rated it highly. I think these high points were given to the good attitudes of the hotel owners. Hotel owners are really good, but do you think this is enough for a good stay? The location is beautiful. 40-50 minutes to Thamel on foot. So, I would not recommend it to anyone. Thank you for reading.

    The owners of the hotel are very kind and helpful. Sara is very friendly and her husband helps with travel ideas. Also, the food we ate was delicious. The location is beautiful. 40-50 minutes to Thamel on foot. Internet was working well.

    it took me a while to figure out how to get the hot water in the shower to work

    Sara and Sudan were excellent host. they took very good care of me and went above and beyond the responsibility of being a hostel host.
