Kiwi Backpackers Hostel Pokhara

Rooftop

Great location, great hosts. Private room was really nice.

The staff were amazing and so so nice! My friend and I felt right at home here and loved hanging out with the other travelers. Definitely recommend the Momo making class.

Very nice and comfortable stay

That was the best hostel I stayed at. They had a very lovely and attentive receptionist. The receptionist was beautiful. The dorm room was similar to other places, but I really liked the environment there. If I have time, I will stay for a few more days.

Almost everything

The bar closes too soon, not a complain but could be improved in a way that the bar closes but it’s all right to stay at the roof

Nettes Personal, tolles Yoga-Angebot, Frühstück ok

Very nice hostel. Social hostel, not a party hostel. We enjoyed our stay very much and would stay again. Everything was clean and the staff was very friendly.

Nothing

They don’t just promote ‘community’ this place really embodies community. The communal breakfast, and optional classes such as momo making, really makes it easy to meet people here. The staff were the friendliest I’ve experienced in Nepal. Everything was just great, make sure you stay here!

Hot water only worked once in 6 days and a little noisy at night if you like to sleep early

OK only. Rooftop was good

Service at counter needs to improve. Breakfast starts too late

The rooftop was amazing, breakfast was also yummy. Not so much but very good. The bed was clean and the bathrooms too. I loved to see the sunrise from there. Also a good possibility to meet people and to chat.

Since I am vegan I would have loved an alternative milk to cow milk or vegan breakfast, but they tried their best to give me breakfast.

Good vibes at rooftop

Admin counter needs to be more efficient. Wrong laundry and access card not activated on second night

Sosialt hostel. Hyggelige ansatte

員工服務客氣有禮

床單沒在換的吧！入住10天開剛始全身發癢出現紅點自行買藥擦藥勉強壓下結果看了一生說是芥蟲 不知道評分那麽高是哪來的

Utroligt sødt personale, som hjalp med at arrangere ture, bestille busbilletter og taxa mm. Altid god stemning og smil :) Der arrangeres yoga hver morgen på hostlet, som er virkelig fedt. Værelset var rigtigt fin, der var god aircondition og fint rengjort. Placeringen er lidt uden for byen, men tæt på vandet og meget lækre caféer og i fin gådistance fra centrum. Det ligger lidt tilbagetrukket fra vejen, hvilket skaber hyggelige og rolige omgivelser. Her er en skøn tagterrasse med udsigt over byen

The only good thing about this hostel was Maya’s customer service. She was great at responding to all the issues I encountered during my stay.

The bedsheets and pillows were disgusting. The duvet had lice on it and was very dirty. I couldn’t sleep with it, it was a miserable night. I left the next morning cancelling the rest of my stay. The vibe at the hostel was quite off as well, and the well-advertised terrace is quite small and not very well maintained.

The private room is very clean, lightened and comfortable. But the rooftop is definitely the best part. It's a very nice spot to meet with other travellers and share a drink. They offer all possible options for treks and local sport activities.

Maybe the breakfast could be a little bit more complete. But still, they have a different option every day. The location is also good, but maybe a little bit far from the alive area of the main street of lake side. Not a big problem, though.

Great place to restore after the trekking. Clean room, nice rooftop bar and great staff!

Breakfast is nothing special

Nothing

Großes Hostel, bestimtm eines der am best-organisierten hostels in dem ich übernachtet habe. Leckeres Frühstück inklusive, gemütliche rooftop bar, yoga shala, sehr gemütliche Betten im dorm, sauber, unglaublich nettes Personal dass für alles zur Verfügung steht. Laundry Service, Gepäckaufbewahrung, tolle Lage.

Staff very helpful, nice food, and the guest are all social and friendly

Perfect for relaxing after a day in Pokhara

I like staff Maya and Pawan, they smile and help visitors as much as they can! I enjoy my stay there. The travelers can also make friends in their open space. Free and huge breakfast offered too!

Need to prepare own shampoo and soap.

Good location

Could do with ac

The environment gives you a great opportunity to connect with other solo travelers and rooftop bar was my favorite

The reception wasn’t 24/7 and rooftop closed at 11:00 pm which is too early

Nice chill social hostel. Stayed in a private room. Good vibes.

Friendly and helpful staff, nice roof bar, free breakfast and good location

早餐很一般

房间有味道，卫生间狭窄

The property and the staff if excellent. Specially the host Suman.

Really really great hostel - really casually social. The staff are super helpful - organising treks and everything you could possibly wish for. The breakfast included is great and is fresh and changes everyday! Great you can also order food at the bar

Minor minor moan is that the top bunks don’t have any bars to stop stuff dropping

Kann guten Gewissens behaupten, dass das Kiwi Hostel mein bestes Hostel in Nepal war, vor allem wenn man den Preis bedenkt. Sehr angenehme Atmosphäre, unkompliziert, saubere, trockene, warme Zimmer und Bäder, nette Dachterrasse und auch die Lage in der Nähe des Tourist Bus Park sowie zum See waren unschlagbar. Frühstück war auch lecker.

gar nichts

room was clean and staff were super friendly. staff were helpful in booking activities and transport. other guests were sociable and free breakfast was a bonus.

the room had a slight moudly smell, I'm guessing the cause was that whenever the shower was used, the whole bathroom room would get wet and mildewy and stay like that all day. It caused the bedroom to be constantly damp.

お花や植物がたくさんあって建物や中庭がかわいい。トイレシャワールームは日本人からしてもめっちゃ綺麗で、すごくありがたかった。スタッフさんがよく掃除してくれている。レセプションの方は笑顔で応対してくれて、英語が上手だから聞き取りやすい。セルフで洗濯し、外干しできるスペースもある。欧米人中心にミックスドミトリーに泊まっていて、その部屋は男性だけだったが全然恐怖感なく安心して寝れた。

Amazing breakfast every morning, very friendly faces and great way to meet people.

The rooms were fantastic and for a great price. Breakfasts were provided and we're basic but good. Nice social vibe with good places to hangout

Nothing

服務好，每個人都很親切

音樂可能從下午到晚上都比較大聲

The dorm was neat and clean. Had keycard access so felt a little more secure. You can see some snow clad mountains from the rooftop. Breakfast was good. Location is decent - close to the lakeside, though a bit away from the Lakeside walkway.

While booking the hostel, I had read good reviews about the reception staff being knowledgeable. Unfortunately, during my stay, the person at the desk appeared to be new and wasn’t very familiar with things beyond the usual queries.

Really great social hostel. Not a party vibe which was great, the staff are lovely and the bar on the top roof was great!

N/A

Great stay overall. The location is very convenient, close to many restaurants and cafés. You can easily rent a bike nearby to go around Pokhara, which made exploring the area fun and easy. They also allow you to leave your bag for a few days if you go hiking, which was very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

The staff was super friendly and immensely helpful. And great value for money.

Made really good friends. The bed was spacious and clean. Providing a table in the room was a very good idea. The rooftop was good and provided a beautiful view.

The hostel doesn't provide padlocks. The rooftop gets closed quite early and the staff starts asking to vacate the place, it starts feeling like a school or college hostel with strict discipline. Lack of light bulbs, there should be more on staircases, rooms, common areas. No charging points on rooftop or near the bar area.

Welcoming

Rooftop

L'emplacement, la vue du rooftop. Le personnel adorable. C'est très propre.

Je ne suis pas restée car c'était que des jeunes et beaucoup trop de monde pour moi mais c'est très personnel.

Super bien située, à quelques minutes du lac. L'acceuil est super aussi. Nous avons fait dortoirs et chambre à notre retour du trek. Les dortoirs sont bien et pratiques. Un gros +++ pour la douche chaude et le sèche cheveux! La chambre était super confortable aussi. Nous avons adoré le bar en rooftop également. L'autre gros + c'est de pouvoir laisser ses affaires en lockers pendant les deux semaines de trek (sous réserve de revenir au moins une nuit - mais honnetement c'était très bien et après avoir marcher 2 semaines vous pouvez facilement rester plusieurs jours à chiller à Pokara car la ville est très cool). Le petit dej inclus était bon. Si nous repassons à Pokhara, nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir!

Personnel très sympathique, Hostel au calme , propre

Chambre un peu bruyante sous le rooftop

He viajado por todo el mundo y puedo decir que el kiwi es el mejor hostel que he visitado. El staff, las habitaciones, la ubicación y lo fácil que es conocer gente hermosa. Volvería mil veces y espero que pronto.

Schöne Zimmer, heiße Dusche, sehr bequeme Betten, Ruhezeit ab 23 Uhr, Dachterrasse, gute Lage. Sehr freundliches Personal

The girls at the reception are so lovely and very helpful. Laundry service, storage room, nice rooftop, nice little garden, filtered water available. The breakfast is very good, the rooms are nice.

I already miss the rooftop where you could hang out with other backpackers! Everything in Kiwi is just perfect and beds are comfortable too!

Nothing

My stay at Kiwi Hostel was great! The staff were kind and always smiling, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The beds were comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep, and having breakfast included was a huge bonus. A major plus for trekkers: their policy of letting you store luggage while hiking is super convenient and truly appreciated!

メインストリートから1本入っており、静かで安全だが、買い物や食事には困らなかった。

23時を過ぎても屋上や廊下でうるさく喋る人がいたり、そもそも建物が古く音が響きやすいので、夜中や早朝もそれで目が覚めてしまった。バスタオルが2枚準備されていたが、トイレットペーパーはなく、シャワーもイマイチだった。
