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 ##### Lauren Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 14 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 19 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geiske 3 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Loved it! 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! ##### Geiske Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 8 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities More like a tropical holiday place of the past than the block hotels of today. Serene, god value, charming. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Héloïse 25 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service #### Service déplorable L'hôtel est très bien placé, proche du parc. Il y a de l'eau chaude et des moustiquaires. Les chambres sont assez spacieuses, je conseillerais celles des étages qui sentent moins la moisissure. Le service que nous avons reçu en revanche était absolument déplorable, peut-être par manque de formation et apparemment en l'absence du responsable de l'hôtel, nous avons été mal accueillis, nous n'avons pas pu obtenir une chabre correspondant aux spécificités de notre réservation alors que l'hôtel était vide, nous avons dû demander 4 fois à ce que quelqu'un vienne réparer la climatisation sans succès, etc... Je ne recommande donc pas du tout cet établissement, il y en a d'autres autour tenus par des personnes beaucoup plus agréables. ##### Héloïse Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edouard 28 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Séjour enchanteur avec personnel très accommodant Incroyable séjour de 4 jours passé au Gaida Lodge à proximité directe du chitwan park. Le personnnel nous accueilli avec chaleur par un jus de fruit dès notre arrivée. Le lodge nous a organisé pour nous toutes les activités en lien avec le parc afin de nous faciliter la vie. Restaurant très bon avec des tarifs très raisonnables. Chambre avec moustiquaire et nombreuses prises our recharger les appareils électroniques. Petit bémol cependant, les robinets de la douche et du lavabo ne fonctionnaient pas très bien. ##### Edouard ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 11 Jan 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Quiet and great location for me. 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Théo 19 Nov 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Le rapport qualité prix du Gaïda lodge est parfait. Le jardin et ses hamacs sont très agréables. Nous avons dormi dans le bâtiment du fond, au dernier étage. La chambre était jolie et l'ambiance au coucher du soleil tres appréciable ! (Chambre Oriolle) Le petit déjeuner est un peu long à être servi, mais nous n'étions pas à Chitwan pour être presssés! ##### Théo Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2017 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 15 Mar 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Leider nicht so wie erwartet... Das erste Zimmer welches mir angeboten wurde, war sehr dunkel und hat sehr modrig und unangenehm gerochen. Das zweiter angebotene Zimmer, war wesentlich freundlicher. Allerdings war die Decke im Badezimmer voller kleiner Motten und das Badezimmer war immer feucht und hatte nasse Wände. Die Betten waren sehr hart und hatten kein Lattenrost. Es müsste mal gründlich gereinigt werden und nicht nur oberflächlich. Im Zimmer hangen viele Spinnweben und es war sehr staubig. Zimmerservice (neue Handtücher, Bettwäsche, Reinigung) gab es keinen auch nicht nach 10 Tagen. Die Betten erinnern eher an ein Outdoorbett. Das Servicepersonal war sehr freundlich und das Frühstück welches inbegriffen war ganz ok mit Omelett, Toast, Marmelade und Kaffee. Es ist eher eine Jugendherberge, die wesentliches Verbesserungspotential hat. ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 6 Mar 2017 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Nice location and garden, but bad service and food Service was really bad after the guys at the hotel found out we booked our jungle safari at another place. The price at Gaida Lodge is 3 time as expensive as the other place we found in the city. The food was really average as well. We also did some hiking in Nepal and stayed at much better accommodation even though it was in the mountains. All in all I would certainly not recommend this place for others, who plan on travelling to Chitwan National Park. The only good thing about the place is the location which is 10 minutes walk to centrum therefore it is quieter than if you stay on the main street which is nice after a long day in the jungle. The garden area is also pretty nice. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 4 Nov 2016 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness #### Decent hotel but 'Deluxe' rooms far from it 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. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Gilles 31 Oct 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Hôtel très correct Vacances en famille visite de chitwan ##### Gilles ### 6/10 Okay #### leena 16 Sept 2016 Liked: Room comfort #### Good room for price 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. ##### leena ### 10/10 Excellent #### jennifer, Leeds 14 Sept 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Magical place.. Gaida was great! ##### jennifer ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig, North Carolina, USA 7 Aug 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Extra Service! Nice,friendly with plenty of extra service! The Lodge driver took us to a good medical clinic when our son needed medical attention. The manager of the Lodge also came to the clinic to make sure our son was okay. ##### Craig ### 8/10 Good #### Dan, Grantham, UK 19 Jul 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Surely the best value in Chitwan Apparently to get the best possible experience of Chitwan, it helps to pay a bit more for your hotel. After staying at Gaida, this is certainly not necessary! A luxurious, air-conditioned room, with great staff who can't do enough for you and can arrange all your activities in a jiffy, means that you don't have to splurge to get that authentic jungle experience. With fantastic and knowledgeable guides working here, as well as a great beer garden and dining facilities, you're guaranteed a fantastic stay. ##### Dan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel, Switzerland 10 Apr 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Chitwan fun We were in chitwan for 4 days and found the Gaida lodge to be very pleasant. Arranging excursions was easy, staff was very friendly and knowledgable, and the was cost reasonable. The highlight was going out with Tikka, an expert in ornithology and local wildlife. The only cons were that food service was a bit scattered and slow and that there was a very loud generator (however that seems to be standard in Nepal). Overall, our stay was very pleasurable and I would recommend the Gaida lodge to others. ##### Rachel ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 6 Apr 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great guide for birdwatching Great stay, Tiki is an amazing guide :) ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 1 Apr 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Whoever rated this an excellent hotel had either low or nonexistent standards. This hotel advertises itself as featuring a slew of amenities that simply do not exist. No hot water, not even tepid water at any point during stay. In order to provide free internet, Must first have Internet, which was available sporadically at best. The power outages were inconsistent, lasting five minutes to twelve hours, resulting in, at most four to five hours of power a night. When the power was on, the A/C did not work.The bedsheets and pillow cases were filthy, the mattress like a slab of concrete, and the dust and filth on every surface was unacceptable. I have been volunteering for three months throughout Asia, and this is the worst place I have stayed at yet, but not the cheapest! The only thing to recommend this place is the menu (with 23% service charge and vat tax per item.) but even that did not make staying here worth it. significantly, and the color of the stain is yellow. The walls have handprints on them, the table cloth beside my bed is filthy and covered in the rings from past condensation of mugs, cups, and whatever else. I am loath to even operate the light switch or A/C, as the buttons are encrusted over with brown and black dirt. A film of dust overlays the mirror, the curtains are no better. The bedsheets and pillowcases have quite obviously not been washed since the last occupants, or, I dare say, even before them. This is unacceptable in any country! ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### MACIEJ 24 Nov 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful and relaxing We came to see the wild animals in the national park. As it happens we did not go on any of the trips offered, this was nothing do do with the hotel or the price (very affordable). We just decided to keep it very low key and walk by the river every morning and afternoon and enjoy the Elephant bathing, crocodiles, flocks of birds, deer and this one charming Rhino who came to bathe around sunset every day. The rest of the day was spent relaxing in the hotel and grounds, which were lovely and very comfortable. We loved it so much we stayed an extra night and if we had had the time we would have stayed longer. We plan to return, and when we do we shall most definitely stay here again. ##### MACIEJ ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ibrahim, Egypt 13 Oct 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best quality for very little This hotel is one of the best hotels i've stayed in. U get a feeling of the jungle with a natural look and eco friendly environment. It's very simple in a beautiful way. Right infront of elephant stables and close to the canoe dock. With a bike rental shop nearby i used a bike to go all around the city. Staff is very helpful and honest. Definitely my choice for my next visit. ##### Ibrahim ### 8/10 Good #### Alessia, Bremen 10 Oct 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Günstiges Hotel nah am Parkeingang Das Hotel ist etwa in die Jahre gekommen aber in einem schönen Garten gelegen. Wie wurden kostenlos vom Busbahnhof abgeholt. Die Zimmer sind nicht luxuriös aber sehr günstig im Vergleich zu den anderen Hotels. Restaurant und Ausflüge haben wir nicht getestet ##### Alessia ### 8/10 Good #### Stevan, Worcester, Ma, USA 6 May 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice place Spent 3 very nice days there. The hotel is new and nice. Easily withstood the 7.9 RS earthquake without any damage. For Nepal, clean and comfortable. The garden is very nice. Many opportunities to relax in the shade of lush vegetation after an interesting day. Extremely helpful staff. Food in the restaurant is good and priced right. No problems with bugs. WIFI works. No power outages. TV works. Definitely recommend it ##### Stevan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jerry, Virginia, USA 11 Apr 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice Stay ! Everything worked out perfectly for us. They unexpectedly picked us up at the bus station (and dropped us at end of stay). Our room was perfect and they arranged a jungle tour for us (which was perfect as well). The waiter (Lovely) was pretty cool and obviously enjoys doing what he does. Everybody was friendly and I'd stay there again for sure. ##### Jerry ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Navigli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Navigli-Milan-Hotels.0-n6049542-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cap Vermell Grand Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Capdepera-Hotels-Cap-Vermell-Grand-Hotel.h13500854.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Sevenoaks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Sevenoaks-Hotels.s50-0-d5681.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Beautiful modern Lakeland cottage with private hot tub, bbq and wood burner](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Beautiful-Modern-Lakeland-Cottage-With-Private-Hot-Tub.h25064816.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Cabins.d8460-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Langdale Chase Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Langdale-Chase-Hotel.h4519714.Hotel-Information) > > [25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Berlin-Hotels-25hours-Hotel-Bikini-Berlin.h6759684.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Kathmandu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kathmandu-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Kathmandu.h524458.Hotel-Information) > > [RedLevel at Gran Melia Palacio de Isora - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Guia-De-Isora-Hotels-RedLevel-At-Gran-Melia-Palacio-De-Isora-Tenerife.h4322283.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Melia-Kuala-Lumpur.h21112.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Scottish Borders](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Scottish-Borders.d6051155.Hotel-Destinations) > > [B&B Southall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southall-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d602740-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Nevis Bank Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-William-Hotels-Nevis-Bank-Inn.h26524.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vienna (VIE) to Kastela (SPU)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/vie/spu/vienna-to-split) > > [Flights from Belfast (BHD) to Pisa (PSA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhd/psa/belfast-to-pisa) > > [Flights from Bishop's Stortford (STN) to Sharm El Sheikh (SSH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/stn/ssh/london-to-sharm-el-sheikh) ### Activities > [Things to do in Cape Panwa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Cape-Panwa.d6050560.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Sopot](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Sopot.d500626.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Rome Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome.d179899.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Borgo Trento](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Verona-Borgo-Trento.dx6165045) > > [Visit Lemington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newcastle-Upon-Tyne-Lemington.dx553248635118831833)
