Please understand, this hotel is NOT close to the lake or shopping, at the top of the mountain on a windy climb up, then on another very rough road which you would never even notice...which is what makes it so incredible! Fantastic staff, impeccably clean, unbelievable views of the Annapurna and the MachuPuchre ranges from the mezanine, rooftop and my hot tub suite (especially at sunrise, you simply HAVE to get up to witness this). There was no better choice to decompress after a six day trek! Will never stay anywhere else on my next visit. Five stars! ##### STEVEN ### 8/10 Good #### Lucille 22 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I loved this property and in the right season it would have the most amazing views.

My friend and i were greeted by a smiling face welcoming us to the resort as soon as we got there from the airport. He grabbed our luggage and directed us towards the reception area. You have to climb the stairs while you see the beautiful himalayas, the greenery the beauty of nepal. The reception area was nice and cozy and we were welcomed with so much love and affection in the voices of the staff. I asked for the best view room and they gave me the best. Room was very spacious, clean, hot/cold water with rainshower in the bathrooom. Bed was comfy and the balcony had seating with the view of shiv mandir and phewa lake. The hospitality of this resort is something you wont forget. The chef who made breakfast and all our meals was so amazing. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. My luggage was lost by the airline so the hotel staff helped me by taking me shopping to find clothes and basic essentials. I am so grateful for every staff member there because they guided me through my adventures in pokhra and even went with us at times making sure im safe. Helped take pics and showed me around on ky request. The walk around the resort is magical. You will forget all your stress and lifes issues while sipping masala chai from any place around the reaort while overlooking the beautiful nepal. Friendly people who go above and beyond for their guests. I will definitely go again. Inwas there for a week and loved mg stay. I will never forget the hospitality.

Great place, but the road is difficult to get through. Ask Raniban to pick you up or drop off, as local taxis can't go to the place itself. It's a little remote, but the morning view is amazing.the $12 fee makes sense for the trip, they aren't ripping you off. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/76A151DFFFADAA70ECC784462DCE8FB5753EB1021574500959219.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Hussain Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karla&Tamas, New York 6 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A must stay ! You have such a beautiful view, its breath taking. You have an enjoyable hike up and its very much worth it. The staff is so friendly, the food is great, and its the best place to relax and take in the beauty of Pokhara and Annapurna. ##### Karla&Tamas Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Raniban really is such a special place. It’s away from all the hustle and bustle of Pokhara and is so high up, perfect for viewing the mountains! Food is great and not too overpriced. The room and bathroom was lovely and comfortable however all rooms are exactly the same, you only pay more for the rooms with the best views...but you can easily look at the views from the communal garden. Beware if the roads are bad you have to walk up a lot of steps to get here! There’s not much to do up here in the day, but I think they are building a pool soon! Amazing time we had here. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Ishtiaque 17 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Picturesque Raniban If I was aware that it is located so isolated, I wouldn’t have chosen this for a family vacation. The views are extraordinary. Sunrise view was breathtaking. Food is average. Rooms are so so. It is an ideal place for complete leisure. Commuting to the township is expensive and uncomfortable. ##### Ishtiaque Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Abby 14 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful hotel in an amazing location After several days trekking, we stayed at the Raniban Retreat. We chose Raniban because we preferred staying in a quiet location (compared to the busy Lakeside area which is very touristy). Getting to the Raniban is quite an experience and we would suggest an SUV type taxi due to the road condition. Our room was wonderful - simple but nice and clean. We chose a room with a mountain view and there is a nice garden area to sit outside the room as well. There is a restaurant with beautiful views but the food is very average. We were only staying for one night so it was fine. You could take a taxi to the Lakeside area for more dining options. We hiked to the World Peace Pagoda. It is an easy 25 minute hike and well worth going. There are some other hikes you can take as well. The staff is excellent - very friendly, helpful and attentive. We highly recommend a stay at the Raniban when in Pokhara. ##### Abby Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### YEEMIN 11 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 파노라마 히말라야뷰 캐리어 땜에 우려했던 525 계단은 걱정없이 택시로 돌아갈수 있었습니다. 525계단은 평화의탑 산책갈때만 오르내렸습니다. 오스트레일리안 캠프보다 더 파노라마 히말라야 전경을 볼수 있어 좋았습니다 숙박은 반드시 마운틴뷰룸을 추천합니다 ##### YEEMIN Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 18 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing place, the best view of pokhara!

There are 514 steps to climb once the taxi bounces you up a steep mountain road but staff will help with your bags. The food was great so we didn't feel the need to go elsewhere. It is quite remote but we walked down to the world peace pagoda and then the lake to take a boat into Pokhara one Day and caught a taxi back. A stunningly beautiful place to rest after our Everest Base Camp Trek with friendly, helpful staff who organised an in room massage and airport transfers. I will return. ##### Kirsty Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Shefaque, Dhaka, Bangladesh 30 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good location and very quiet but approach road to the hotel is not in good conditions.
