More toilet roll would have been appreciated. There was a mix up with the airport pick-up - but these things happen

Staff were incredibly helpful. Helped book activities and were always attentive and friendly. Food was excellent. Room was comfortable - air conditioning good. Wildlife around the lodge was fantastic. So many birds - as well as rhinos and elephants!!

Everything was good. Maybe prices of excursions are a bit expensive but i didn't enquire in other places as I trusted they were giving me an average price. I have to say that the guide alone , Mangara, is a plus when taking these tours with them as he is always there explaining things and is geuinely nice

Very conveniently located in the centre of Sauraha, the river view jungle bungalow has very nice staff, comfy beds and nice rooms with balcony and air con. The Place is clean and the restaurant is very good. Try their American Chowmein and their chicken biryani(so good). We stayed 4 nights. We always chose "simple breakfast" that is coffee/tea choice of egg style, toast, butter, jam and fruit or hot dogs. We enjoyed a lot the jeep full day safari tour (10 hours). It was a bumpy hard ride due to the state of roads during the monsoon period in the Nat park and on the way back, luckily at the verh end, we even got hit by super heavy rain and a scary boat ride to cross the river back to town due to the rain but everything was worth it. even if the trip i have to say was very expensive imo. Lunch was included. The guide Mangara is so good, he explains everything and is very knowledgeable and stops every time he sees an animal. We saw 4 rhinos, 1 crocodile, 2 types of monkeys, thousands of deers, bisons, monitor lizards, wild boars and many types of birds. We also did the canoe ride and the elephant safari the next day which we liked even if riding an elephant is not an everyday thing and it can be pretty scary if you re not used but the elephant "driver" was good. The property has a very nice cured garden, is pretty big, and on the first day we even saw a rhino roaming the streets of sauraha undisturbed and free and then he even came close to the property to eat grass. The people working there were knocking at our door to tell us the rhino was close in case we wanted to see it. Of course we wanted! The huge rhino is so cute and harmless amd apparently a mascot in town. Thank you so much to everybody at River view Jungle camp

The wifi was slow but you could get fast wifi at the office. This time of the year there is lots of smoke in the air.

Location was very good. The staff would knock on our door whenever there was a rhinoceros nearby so we could see it. Our first day we saw elephants. Owner set up tours and transportation. Lots of hot water. Good fridge. On site guide. Friendly staff.

Very very good Safari with an incredible Guide

One of the taps in the bathroom leaked a bit, but we put a bin under it to catch the water

Very comfortable room, excellent staff, great location, good food. Krishna, the manager arranged all our safaris/ excursions, with Mangara, a superb guide with encyclopediactic knowledge of birds, animals, plants, local Theru culture etc, and there were only my wife and I, guide and driver on all our trips, compared to most of the others we saw with 10/17 people per vehicle. We may have paid more for this treatment, but didn’t even worry about quotes from other tour companies because our experiences were amazing, thanks to Krishna and Mangara. Because of the experience of our guide we saw 11 rhinos, 4 species of deer ,two species of monkeys, sloth bear and golden jackal and 85 species of birds. Best shower recess we had in all Nepal.

The new building meant that we could not see the river from our room, but this is just a small thing compared to all the other good points.

We were the first visitors after the place had experienced a flood from the river overflowing from the previous week. To have cleared all the mess from the floods was an amazing effort by the owner and his team as it meant we were able to have a very enjoyable stay and not rearrange anything. They were in the middle of some building works but they had acknowledged that on the Booking.com info, and as it was during the day, it didn't really affect us as we were out on tours. We did a walking tour and jeep safari on one day, both of which were excellently led by our guide Mangara. On the the other day we went to 20,000 lakes where saw loads of birds, some deer and marsh muggers (crocodiles). The breakfasts were good and the room was very comfortable with good A/C. All in all, a lovely couple of days.

Nothing bad to say.

The manager made us feel so welcomed and valued, and his genuine approach to ensuring every guest has a wonderful experience truly stood out. Rameshji has been really kind and patient during our trip to Lumbini which made the trip safe, pleasant and soo enjoyable. Also, the meals we enjoyed during our stay were simply divine. Somduthji also waited till 23.30 to serve us food and ensured we ate properly. Our guide Mungrahji made our safari ride memorable with his broad knowledge about wildlife. He knew all the good spots to look at rhinos. Each of you contributed in your own unique way to making our stay an experience that we will always cherish. Thank you again for everything and for making us feel at home. Will definitely come back again.

Nothing

The best location and best hospitality

The shower pressure wasn’t great, more like a trickle of water, and with it being so hot/humid a good shower is really important. Ok for a couple of nights but would struggle staying any longer.

The location of the property is perfect (on the Main Street) and the staff are really helpful and nice. The room itself great value for money and good for a couple of nights. The outside is beautiful and the room is comfortable with AC and a fan.

Fortunately, the property is lucky to be expanding and building new rooms... unfortunately, the foundations were being dug during our stay, and the new building is going to be right in front of the old one. We couldn't really sit out on the balcony when they were working as it was noisy and dusty. More outside seating for breakfast would be much better as you look out onto the river. Balcony chairs weren't very comfortable even though they look in keeping with the style.

Enjoyed our stay here very much, our host was really friendly and offered help whenever we needed it, but wasn't always bothering us. The staff who served us breakfast were always really kind and polite. Beautifully tended garden, full of blooming dahlia's. Clean room, huge bed, lovely bathroom with excellent shower, hot water never a problem. We had a room overlooking the river which was great. Great location in the heart of Sauraha, but nice and quiet, which we liked.

Amazing host and hospitality

Breakfast a little basic if I’m nitpicking.

Spacious & spotless room with lovely balcony exceeded my expectations. Felt like being in the countryside even though it is a central location on the Main Street. Saw a rhino grazing just a few metres outside the fence and saw an elephant bathing in the river.

Hot water for the shower was hit & miss, the water was always cold in the mornings. The shower head was blocked, but it was fixed as soon as I made them aware. The mattress was very hard & could feel & hear the springs in it. The WiFi only worked near the restaurant & would drop out, not a big for me as I had mobile data, but may affect others.

Very friendly staff, great location with easy access to the main street for restaurants etc & a shortcut to the river too. A wild rhino visited several times to eat the grass in front of the restaurant & the vacant block next door. The fence provided protection while able to admire him at close range. The garden surroundings provide some welcome relief from the hot & dusty Main Street area. Krishna assisted with booking cultural program & jeep safari & transfer to the airport.

Except for breakfast, the meals seemed to be made on request. This is a great service and there where lots of options, but sometimes it took a while to get it.

Very beautiful, well maintained and peaceful garden where you can sit to eat or read or relax, which looks out on nature and the river. Overall a lot of green and beautiful flowers. Hospitable owner/manager who loves to make a chat with all guests. Overall felt very homelike and personal. Different kinds of food available.
