Gaurishankar Backpackers Hostel

The staff was awsome and helpful, and the common area was really cozy. Perfect location close to the lake, shops and restaurants. But often there was no water in our bathroom - so you couldn’t use the toilet or take a shower. Luckily they had 2 extra showers and toilets that are for common use. But it was a bit annoying to have to walk outside and find it in the night.

Excellent hostel. Staff were super helpful.

Schönes Hostel, nette und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter. Das Einzelzimmer und das Mehrbettzimmer waren mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht, bequeme Matratzen und sauber. Im Garten lässt es sich gut entspannen und Leute treffen. Das Hostel liegt nur wenige Schritte vom Phewa Lake, Shops und Restaurants entfernt.

Very well situated in Lakeside with a lovely courtyard and bar that would have a great atmosphere during the busier season. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Offers activities around Pokhara and luggage storing for trekking. The beds could have been comfier and bathroom facilities are outdoors rather than contained in the building. However, still extremely good value for money.

Très beau logement avec un grand espace détente en extérieur. Avec des personnes très aimable et serviable. Je recommande

great place, good vibes

Very good chilling place wow i enjoyed long days here

Gorgeous hostel in Pokhara. Totally recommend, super peaceful and a gorgeous community vibe here with lovely hang out space and comfy beds! Love the staff so friendly and helpful, made friends for life ❤️

The location is great. The staffs are very friendly. I stayed here in a female dorm for one night and in a double bed room for another. Both bathrooms are not clean enough. The female dorm room is very small, lockers are outside.

Wir waren für ein paar Nächte dort und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Personal war supernett und die ganze Atmosphäre war entspannt. Besonders toll war der chillige Außenbereich mit vielen Pflanzen – richtig grün und gemütlich.

Very clean but basic hostel in a good location, nice cafe/bar common area. No real hostel activities or any social vibe which is fine. The walls are very thin and it is quite noisy at night. Also the male staff sniffed my underwear to check if my laundry was clean. The lady receptionist was very nice though.

Perfect hostel to chill at. They’ve got cheap breakfast and a bar

I loved stayed at Gaurishankar hostel Very affordable place close to lake tourist bus station 15 mn walk I stayed in female dorm comfy bed shower to share hot water available towel if needed locker available They have a beautiful garden where you can relax as well as 3hamacs Bar is available Staff is always helping for questions booking your next trip or treks bus ticket They can keep your luggage if you are going trekking if you stay there after returning from trekking Best place ...

One of the best i have stayed in

Probably the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at! David and Teresa are so thoughtful and they took us to some hidden gems of the island. Felt more like staying at a friends house than at a hostel. 10/10 would recommend!!

This is my second time at Gaurishankar and I love it. The staff are friendly, the rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, the courtyard area is a great place to hang out and it’s in a great location. All for a great price

Beware!!! BEDBUGS The staff was nice and also the entire conplex. But the didn‘t seem to understand where bed bugs come from. They referred to rainy weather and that they come in through open windows. We dont mean to harm the hostel, but to share awareness.

stayed in this hostel more than a week. i loved everything the room (bed very comfortable), the common area it's amazing and all the staff it's very nice and very helpful. the location it's perfect a bit away from the main street

Very good vibe. One of the best stay in pohkara lakeside road. Very genuine and friendly staff.

nth bad except no hair dryer and the pillow is dirty
