Gaurishankar Backpackers hostel

Really grateful for the storage option as we were returning for another night stay after a few days.

- owners recommended activities to do - welcoming and friendly - suitable solo travelers/ small grps - didnt get to enjoy at the bar, but it looks like good spot to chill and chat

- our bathtub had a crack that may be a problem with larger humans:)

Loved it the first time great vibe but 2nd time in the dorm there is a rat which eats and grinds on everything u leave. People as always were the best. But that rat really got me .

Rat

The location is nice, quite close to a lot of places around but on a quiet street. The girls-dorms is very convenient, only 4 beds and the bathroom is inside the room.

Unfortunately it felt like they didn’t change the sheets and they were a bit sticky

I've been coming and going from Pokhara for the last 6 weeks and Gaurishankar has been the absolute best place to relax in between treks. The whole setup here is so organised, the staff are really friendly, great coffee and really comfortable private rooms for a very fair price. The hostel dogs (Leo and Khali) are so cute as well! Highly recommend this place to anyone spending time in Pokhara!

Just wow

Hotel Gaurishankar Hostel is Located near by Phewa Lake side.One Of The best Hostel if you Are Going in Friends Group And Family

Buena disposición del personal si solicitabas ayuda con algo.

El baño quedaba hecho un lago cuando alguien bañaba. Tan simple como poner algo para empujar el agua.

Gaurishankar is the best hostel I've ever stayed at. We've been here for a month now and this place feels like home for us. The people here are amazingly nice and feel like family, they help with everything and make sure you feel very welcome. We also love the dogs, Kali and Leo, who hang around us all the time now :). The rooms are very clean, spacious and the hostel is very social. I've never made such good friends for such a long time in a hostel (that is something very important to me when traveling). Overall it's just perfect in every sense, a nice bar with good food, good breakfast, nice cookies, clean hangout areas, nice hammocks and a really cool vibe. We could ask any questions and would always be helped in the best way, it's a very personal experience. We also got really nice recommendations for everything! Special thanks to Denis,Sonu,Kuldeep,Kajal,Sabitri,Neema for making our stay the most perfect it could have been, we are going to miss you.

Everything is perfect.

Mainly staf ! Love there effort

Private bedroom was clean and comfortable

While the hostel was okay in some aspects, the Mix dorm bathroom experience was not good at all. The toilet was not flushing properly, which made using the bathroom inconvenient and unpleasant. On top of that, there was no shampoo or soap provided, so I had to manage without basic amenities. Another issue was privacy. The dorm room doesn’t have proper privacy there are no curtains or room dividers so it feels exposed and uncomfortable, especially when you want to change or relax.

Great place to meet people and staff are very helpful for getting you started on the trek

Relaxed ambient. Good localization.

Centrally located , good staff support,comfortable rooms, lots of greenery and nice common area. Value for money.

Nothing from the hostel side, but some some loud guys from India were making lots of noise throughout the night and ensured that other guests don't sleep! Bathroom cleanliness can be better.

De kamers, de faciliteiten, de locatie, koffie,

De 2 honden die bij het hostel zijn waren erg lief, echter is er 1 die in de nacht plots luidruchtig en langdurig kan blaffen wat mij wakker maakte.

the courtyard is nice

The room is dark and damp with a musty smell. The blankets have a bit of an odor, and the shower water isn't hot—it's only lukewarm.

Nice chilling front yard with hammocks and nice music

Comfortable beds, great outdoor space, fresh coffee very good location 🙏

Not big issue's, but worth being mindful of, is the hot shower is dependent on sun and the common area, just outside the dorm, can get a little noisy in the evening with guests drinking.

Nothing

Just because I was snoring they asked me to vacate the hostel

The staff was very nice and friendly and the location was also very helpful to reach out everywhere .

Very friendly staff, nice little garden and good value for money

Amazing place and people! I’ll come back !

Best place for light minded people

Staff is really good , very cooperative and friendly.

So many mosquitos. But they got me and my brother another room which was better.

Mosquitoes and noise.

Good location good staffs

Super friendly staff and the courtyard garden was great

Love the big beds in the dorm. The outdoor space filled with greenery is a delight.

Could have installed a celling fan

I was planning to stay some days, I ended staying 3 weeks ! The vibe is so great, it feels like home and the staff really is what brings the magic there, they are the best ! They will also always give you all the informations you need about the surrounding or the trekking with a big smile and desire to help. I can only recommend this place , and they do the best coffee in town ☕️ (Also they have friendly dogs and dogs are the best)

Exceptional hospitality and great location.

We had a really nice stay at Gaurishankar! The personell was helpfull and really friendly, will definetly be back😊

the tropical garden is definitely the highlight of this hostel and they got few hammocks in the garden , just perfect spot to take morning sun with a book or coffee in your hand

honestly , rooms are pretty decent and don’t have any bad things to say about it , it’s just perfect how they built the garden around the hostel

Very near from the Fewa lake

Best hostel to stay while in pokhara..rooms are very clean and tidy...staffs are very friendly and welcoming nice food and very affordable for money i had my 3amazing nights at this hostel..will come again Highly recommended

The facilities were top-notch, with clean and comfortable rooms that provided a great night's sleep. I particularly enjoyed the communal areas, which were ideal for relaxing and socializing. The hostel also offered a variety of activities, which made it easy to explore the local area and connect with others.

The kindness and service of the staff of this hostel. We feel good there! Excellent value for money :)

Nothing!!

I had a fantastic two night stay at GauriShankar Backpackers Hostel. The hostel has a beautiful garden, perfect for relaxing, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. All the essential amenities were available, making my stay comfortable. A special highlight was meeting their adorable dogs, Leo and Kali—be sure to say hi to them! Highly recommend this place for backpackers looking for a cozy and social stay.

None

The location of the property is the only thing which was nice. Rest everything was bad.

The room I booked was different from what was offered, very less spacious. The sheets were stinky, the room was stinky. The laundry weight when dry was 4 kg and when wet was 6 kg. We asked them to charge on the basis of cloth weight, but they denied and also included the bag weight. In a very few things, the staff were a little supportive, but overall a very bad experience. Never booking and never recommending Gaurishankar Backpackers hostel to anyone.

Very atmospheric place. It is located not far from Lakeside. There is a nice and spacious courtyard where you can chat with travelers from different countries. Communication usually takes place until late evening, so it can be a little noisy. It is not critical for me. For backpackers and travelers, it is a great place.

Cheap

We booked a private room in the hostel, but the room was completely open so we could hear all sounds from anyone anywhere in the hostel and were not really able to sleep.

Ok for staying 1 or 2 nights , comfy beds , clean bathroom..

Its kind of a party hostel so if u r upto late night parties this is for you …but don’t book if you want to sleep peacefully…mainly the staffs they do party all night

It’s a really nice hostel, you just have to find a good time to take a hot shower, but they inform you about it. The location is pleasant, the stuff was also helpful, there is a room where you can do yoga or just chill.

People were partying to very late hours in the restaurant. After it was closed they just moved to the dorms and weren’t trying to be quiet, so after a few nights of being constantly woken up it gets annoying.

The stuff is really great and helpful!

You book a room for 4 abd they put you in a room for 6

It was a lovely hostel, but they changed me from a lovely dorm to a boxed cubicle because I snore. The guy who was complaining was completely venomous when you considered he was wiping his butt and putting the paper in the bin. The whole dorm constantly stank tbh. They never said a word to him, but they discussed me between themselves in Hindi. I was not impressed.

The raw sewage in the dorm washroom's bin all the time.

Good location!

The room was a bit too small and too noisy outside
