Bandipur Bliss

Located within walking distance of the village

We booked a deluxe double room with a balcony. When we arrived the room was very dirty with nothing but a bed and a desk. There was no a balcony. When I asked for a balcony (which is very important to us and the reason for booking this hotel) we were told that there was a terrace on the roof that we could use or a couple of rooms with balconies that could not be accessed from the rooms. It turns out that they do not actually have rooms with balconies, as advertised. The owner agreed to let us stay in the apartment which did have a very nice balcony. The apartment was spacious but had not been cleaned and did not have any cups, glasses or anything at all to drink from. There was no toilet roll and we had to ask each day for some or else we were not provided with any. We also had to ask for water as did not get any. The.boiler did not work so we had not hot water. They allowed us to use another hotel room to shower in but we had to ask for the key each time. They offered to wash some clothes as we had no hot water and when we checked out they charged us $5 for the privilege. None of the outside lights worked so it was a bit dangerous when walking up and down the metal steps. Only a couple of the lights worked inside but that was not a big problem. The plug sockets sparked and blew the fuse box so they loaned us an extension lead. When we checked out the card machine had a flat battery so they insisted that we paid by cash.

Location is great as well as staff

Bathroom seats were broken and we were given that room, also bathroom smell overnight . It could be plumbing issues but it was not a pleasant experience

Great views! A place where you must stop!

We somewhat enjoyed our stay at Bandipur Bliss, particularly the excellent location and the warm hospitality of the staff. The iconic Bandipur Bazar is just a 3-4 minute walk from the property, making it very convenient to explore. On the other side, a leisurely 7-8 minute walk takes you to a tranquil field with breathtaking views of the Annapurna range of the Himalayas—a sight that’s truly unforgettable! While the stay had its highlights, there’s room for improvement to make the experience even better.

While our stay at Bandipur Bliss had its highlights, there were several issues that need addressing: 1. Misleading Room Photos: The rooms appeared much larger in the pictures than they were in reality. 2. Bathroom Odor: The bathroom had a persistent smell, likely from the pipes. Unless the windows were kept open, the odor spread into the room, making it quite uncomfortable. 3. Payment Challenges: The hotel does not accept payment by card, which is inconvenient. Additionally, as Booking.com does not show amounts in Nepalese currency, the hotel converted the USD at a higher-than-market exchange rate, leading to unexpected extra charges. 4. Incorrect Reporting: Despite our stay, the hotel falsely reported to Booking.com that we did not show up. This was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. These issues detracted from what could have been a much better experience.
