Rhino Lodge & Hotel

We arrived after a week's trekking a couple of nights stay in Pokhara. Was most impressed with the bathroom (which anyone travelling in Nepal will do after a short while!) which was spacious, super clean, and very nice. The room was fine, beds (generally in Nepal) were hard but comfortable and air con worked well when there was electricity, otherwise used the fan in room which can be operated off the hotel's generator. Friendly, helpful staff throughout and Rajesh on front reception was particularly smiley. It was my birthday when I was there and we came back from a mornings walking/ canoe safari to find balloons and flowers strewn over the room which was incredibly sweet. By Nepali standards this was a pleasant, peaceful, clean place to rest and plan activities from. There is no hard sell from the hotel staff although they can organise everything for you and do it well - would definitely recommend them.

Please note that my review is relative to the area, surrounding hotels, and type of vacation/activity. The staff is polite and helpful. We stayed at the renovated room, which was very clear and insect free (very rare in the middle of the jungle). The location is convenient and very close to the national park (3 minute walk). Breakfast was not bad which is key when you have a long and active day ahead of you :-)

The hotel equipment and service is OK for the price but there is no hot water provided in the room which caused a lot of problem for my stay.

There was no phone or TV in the room as it was mentioned in our booking. The room did not have a functioning AC and at night we almost froze to death. Since the resort is right next the lake, it gets very cold between 2-5 am. I had to walk to the reception more than 5 times for someone to come and take a look at the AC. Their breakfast was pathetic, they need to stop serving it if they cannot service proper food. It consisted of corn flakes, cold omlettes and rotten bananas. The location of the hotel is good since its the middle of the touristy area in Sauraha and has good shops, bars, eating joints, etc. near it.

This was my 1st hotel booking through expedia.co.in and I thank expedia for their genuine assessment and also the customer support. Decision to book a hotel was rather quick. The hotel experience was amazing. The owner of the hotel was so nice that build my itinerary for my entire stay at Nepal. He even book my stay at his hotel (Hotel Crown Himalaya) at Pokhara, which I believe to be one of the nicest hotel in terms of hospitality and ambiance. The staff in the hotel would help you in all your needs like booking tickets, passes. I would recommend this hotel

Took canoe trip, elephant ride, all day jeep ride and jungle walk. Saw rhino and lots of deer and birds. Good local food, cultural dances. Raj, the concierge, was great arranging everything, including ride to airport.

I can't begin to say how great the staff are at the Rhino Lodge. In particular the front receptionist Rajesh was very accommodating to my staying there and helping me with a bit of a hiccup in my travels. I came there as a guest and left feeling like a friend. Thanks for the great stay. Brian PS Be sure to try the rhino pizza in the restaurant, it is delicious!

The rooms were very comfortable, despite the frequent power outage affecting the whole village. The ambiance of the hotel was also relaxing and ideally located near the wildlife-abundant Rapti River adjacent to Chitwan National Park. Great stay!

For the price very good hotel and convenient for shops restaurant s avd all the activities Only gripe is no electricity during day because of power cuts and the Hotel only switches on generaters during night But this is one place we didn't miss it as we were out most of the day times

We really enjoyed our stay at Rhino Lodge. The staff led by Rajesh are so warm and friendly . There are many activities available and they will happily arrange everything for you . We did a full day jeep safari in chitwan national park and saw many animals including rhino, deer, sloth bear, mongoose, squirrel, wild boar and many birds - highly recommend this . Thankyou to our wonderful guide Caseb - a rhino lodge staff member .
