Friendly staff and great location.

Staff was great. Bathrooms and buildings need some TLC.

Perfect location in chitwan for accessing the national park and river. 10minute walk to the shops and restaurants although we ate at the lodge a few times as this was ideal. Clean and comfortable rooms. Staff were friendly and very helpful. They arranged us a walking safari with a very experienced local guide, just me my partner and another guide (i highly recommended this small group/personal option, a lot of the other groups we encountered were larger). They also organised a jeep safari with the same guy whos experience is second to none. Breakfast was included, this was good and they provided us with a sufficient pack up lunch for the safari. Cost of the accommodation and the excursions were excellent. Highly recommend, we would definitely stay here again on our next visit

Beautiful garden area, delicious and inexpensive restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, I really enjoyed chatting with Tika who runs the place. A free Tharu stick dance was performed a couple of times during my stay, which was a nice interesting bonus. Everyone was happy to talk about (and knowledgeable of) local wildlife and where/how to see it.

Our hotel manager, Tika, was extremely helpful. We were in Sauraha for a conference and he was able to accommodate a colleague of ours at short notice. Hotel arranged a walking tour of Chitwan NP and it was a great experience. Breakfast was provided (eggs, toast, fruit/veg) and staff were attentive. Showers had hot water, fans and mosquito nets. Area is a great location to see a Rhino early morning/late at night!

We really liked our stay at the Gaia Lodge. The owner is an ornithologist who took us on evening walk, where we spotted many animals thanks to his enthusiasm. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and arranged all our excusions for a good price - and with good guides. A definite recommendation!

More like a tropical holiday place of the past than the block hotels of today. Serene, god value, charming.

Overall hotel was great for me. Outside of town just enough to be quiet but easy walk to whatever you need. Also can enter buffer zone and walk along the river by passing thru elephant corrals just across the street. Food was fine, and good price. There seem to be a variety of rooms with different comforts but hard to tell. I was on the top floor which is great for sitting in balcony and relaxing. Cold here in winter. Some rooms have heat. This website lists lots of amenities that certainly don’t exist at this lodge but didn’t effect my stay.

We stayed in a Deluxe room - Tiger Den - which was is desperate need of a facelift. The bathroom was falling apart (holes in the bath, toilet leaked when flushed). Bedroom wasn't clean and had a musky smell. Staff were superb (especially the guy who ran the restaurant - very friendly and helpful). Food was good with large portions. Location is a bit out of town (5 mins walk) so was nice and quiet.

The room was good size.room not cleaned everyday but towels were provided when requested.big size rooms nd bathroom.book safari from outside the hotel..don't ask staff as they will not give any clear information.buy tickets from bus park itself or from outside the hotel as it will be 200 Nepali cheaper.dont order food at the restaurant it takes 2 hours and will get uncooked food ..it's too expensive and if you step out too many eateries outside.
