Hotel Dengan Pools di Gandaki, Nepal

The property is absolutely out of pokhara and very close to nature. To reach this place is tough but once you reach it, you will enjoy it. Awesome beautiful property. Nice polite staff and ready to help always. The swimming pool is superb. Over-all very happy

I stayed here for 1 night then left to hike and then came back for another night. One of the most impressive hotels I’ve stayed at anywhere in the world. Professionalism is 10/10 from the security guard to the restaurant waiters to the receptionists to the manager Rozeena. Everybody was just going out of their way. Food was great (I had the chicken tandoori), the hotel has a genuinely good aesthetic with the pool and the lake view. The location is great (ATMs right nearby). The rooms are clean and neat. Hot water ran fine. Bed was soft. Live music in the restaurant. Great guard dog (golden retriever). My final day activity ran over time and they even let me check out a little later after notifying them in the morning. Big breakfast buffet that also runs pretty early so was able to get it both days. They have their own airport shuttle too which was cost effective and easily arranged. Pretty much every box ticked. Would highly recommend if you’re visiting the area and I will definitely be back when I visit Pokhara again.

I booked this hotel online from the beginning, but later the price increased and there were no rooms available. Because I booked about a month in advance, the price was very cheap, and overall, it was excellent value for money. The hotel is located in Block 6 on the shore of Phewa Lake. The Pokhara Lake area is divided into blocks, so you can take a bus directly to the designated block, and it's about a 7-minute walk to the hotel. The location is a little far from the most bustling area, but it's about a 15-minute walk from the night prayer site via side streets. The hotel rooms are large and have balconies. The hotel has a bar and an infinity pool on the rooftop, perfect for taking photos. When I went in the evening, I saw guests drinking and dancing, which was quite interesting. The hotel was built in 2021, so the facilities are new and the cleanliness is good. The hotel toiletries smelled wonderful, and the front desk service was excellent. I booked a day tour at the hotel reception for 800 Nepalese Rupees, which was slightly more expensive than booking directly, but it saved me a lot of trouble. The hotel is also not far from the bus station; you can take a bus or walk. A welcome drink was provided upon check-in.

This hotel, despite being somewhat out of the way (other side of the lake and 20 minute walk up the mountain) is outstanding. The views from the room are spectacular, the staff are wonderful and the breakfast is brilliant. A perfect place to stay for a relaxing break

A calm and beautiful hotel in Pokhara. We really liked the design of the hotel with a bright and airy staircase leading up to a bar area with pool (in summer) and rooftop sitting area. Excellent view over the lake. Very quiet during our stay. There is a monastery a 5 minute walk away that offers yoga, meditation and sound healing. The breakfast is simple but plentiful and the barista made coffee was a highlight. Excellent service with a welcome drink and staff to carry our bags. Would stay here again!

I’ve read other reviews for this hotel and am amazed it has been given 5* rating.  The staff certainly are excellent, and the pool is nice, but the rooms are very basic, quite dismal, and lacking in anything of quality.  Towels were stained and grey from poor laundering, sheets OK but pillowslips stained.  The towel rail was fitted  askew.  The open shower was too close to the toilet so that, even with the curtain drawn, water escaped and I had to dry it before I could use the toilet.  I had breakfast on 2 days: starts at 7am but egg station not ready until 7.15 on both mornings.  Food, again, was very basic with not much choice and certainly not ‘delicious’. Sorry, but I rate this as 3*.

Good hotel

Just 200 meters down from the Sarangkot Observation Deck, we found a beautiful and stylish room with a fluffy bed, hot water in the shower and sink, and excellent water pressure. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced, and we were very satisfied! It's also in a very convenient location for watching the sunrise and sunset. ◎ After dinner, as the temperature was dropping, the owner started a bonfire in the garden. It was a super moon that day, so we warmed ourselves around the fire while gazing at the big, bright moon. What a luxurious experience. The hotel appears to be run by a family, and we were touched by the smiles and homely atmosphere of the mother and the whole family. We were also touched by the beauty of the sunrise we saw from Sarangkot, making for a very satisfying stay in Pokhara. Thank you!

This resort is such a hidden gem! We were lucky enough to get a sunrise view of the mountains despite the cloudy weather. Aside from the fantastic views, the service at Raniban Retreat was 5 star - the staff were so friendly and always available to assist. The room was spacious, the food was great and the swimming pool was open (in winter!) so I could enjoy a cold plunge! We would definitely stay here again.

The room facilities are a bit old, the head of the bed cannot be charged, and the quality of the small bed is very average. The swimming pool is open until 7 o'clock. There is no twin room in the lake view room but a double bed room. There is a free shuttle bus to the lakeside area, available at 10:30 in the morning / 12:30 in the afternoon / 4:30 in the afternoon / 7:30 in the evening For train times, the minibus has air conditioning.
