Amazing stay at Bigtree Hostel! Super friendly staff, clean rooms, great location just outside the busy streets of Thamel. The vibe is peaceful and social, and I love that they support local communities through their work. Felt like home — highly recommend!

I wish the bathrooms would have been cleaner. Also I think someone from the staff turned off the ventilator everyday around 6-6:30 am wish made the room hotter.

Good location, good value, comfy bed.

This is a great place for a cheap price. Staff is very nice , hostel is usually quiet, the rooftop is great for reading and doing some yoga. The rooms are cozy, I don’t think you can get anything better at this price.

I miss some place to stay where reading, but they are in process to do It.

Very good place to stay in Kathmandu. The staff is very attentive. They help you with everything from the moment you land in Nepal: cab, money exchange, shopping, tours..... The location is ideal. Close to Thamel, the tourist bus station and walking distance to many tourist attractions. The place it's vert quiet and good. There is a little bar very close to the hostel that is very good. The shared room is well organized, with enough space in the personal drawers and the bed is clean and comfortable. Bathroom it's also clean and hot wáter flows well.

No hot water for showering (they said was temporary but didnt get fixed within the 10 days i was there). 3 showers for 24 beds, so it gets a bit crowded sometimes. There's just one common area and people are allowed to smoke there, so it's always smelling of cigarettes. If you are a non-smoker and don't want/can't inhale smoke, there isn't really anywhere else to hang out.

They have a kitchen where you can prepare some basic stuff. There's a nice covered area with hammocks and bean bags. Hostel organises family's dinner every Monday and friday. It's about 15-20 min walk to downtown GL where most restaurants are, but there are other (more expensive) options of restaurants within 5min walk and also plenty of small grocery shops. Staff kindly organised a van to drop me at dapa port for 300 pesos. They have generators in case the power goes off. Wifi is good.

Their behaviour & their surroundings.

Stayed in November 2024

Toilets/ showers without privacy, for some people it might be hard to use the toilet. One toilet was clogged twice in two days

Great location, value of money, terrace. They kept my things while I went for hiking

I had an incredible experience staying at Hostel Bigg Tree. The hostel is not only clean and comfortable but also offers a great atmosphere for travelers. The staff were absolutely fantastic—friendly, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure a pleasant stay. From giving local tips to making sure everything was perfect, their hospitality really stood out. The location is also convenient, with easy access to key spots in the city. I highly recommend Hostel Bigg Tree to anyone looking for a welcoming, budget-friendly place to stay. Can’t wait to visit again!
