Great location & excellent customer care. Neat & clean with a great view of the snow clad mountains and just overlooking the runway.

Fabulous place to stay, Sandesh and family were so helpful and kind. His son came down to meet us at the drop-off point and guided us through the village. Would highly recommend a stay here!

Great location, polite staff and great food as well.

The view was amazing

Nothing

The location is idyllic. It means a walk up a lot of steps but it's worth it. Breakfast on the patio looking at the mountains on a sunny morning - perfect. And Sandesh and his family were very welcoming and helpful.

One of my favorite stays in all of Nepal!! The owner is very friendly and very helpful.. the food was great.. and the views are amazing! Would definitely stay here again

The owner was extremely nice and helpful. We are very glad that we stayed here.

view from the room was breathtaking, food was awesome , people were very friendly, feel like home . wanna go there again and again . thanks hill top ..

The hotel is located in such a location from where you get the best view of annapurna south and machapuchre. It is managed and run by a family where they do all the chores. All the family members are extremely friendly. Food is delicious. Bonfire available on request. The hotel is very clean and has all the basic amenities one needs. Ghandruk is such a place where you will not get materialistic luxury rather you will get the luxury of nature. Would definitely recommend this if you are looking for a place to stay. If you get a room towards the upper floor, get ready for a phenomenal view without the need to step outside.

Great food! Nice, clean, warm blankets. Hot showers (solar). Friendly family.

Exceptional hospitality from check-in to check-out, paired with delicious food.

Beautiful lodge at the top of the village. Nice outdoor decks with mountain views. Excellent food.

The staff at the Hill Top Lodge were fabulous, especially Sandesh who is the Manager (family co-owner) and his wife and extended family. The dining room staff, the cleaning staff, and others working in the hotel were extremely helpful and understanding of our needs, and always listened attentively to any feedback which we provided to them. In fact, during our stay at this hotel, the dining staff listened carefully to some feedback I gave them about some of the items on their menu which we had eaten, and the next day those issues had been solved. Now that is the height of customer service, and because of all this, we will be recommending the Hill Top Lodge to our friends and others who wish to visit Ghandruk (the starting point of our ABC trek). 10 out of 10.

Amazing place with an amazing family. This is a family run hotel in the Himalaya mountains that is absolutely the best. The hotel, the staff, the food, all first rate. Sandesh and his family are great hosts. If you're looking for a great place to relax while enjoying amazing sites of the Annapurna range, this is the place. 5 star all the way!

Trekking tours

The best place to stay in Ghandruk. The hosts - Sandesh and his family are the warmest people one could ask for. The hospitality is unmatchable and the location is exceptional. Couldn't have asked for a better view. The hosts made sure we were comfortable throughout and took care of us as their own family. Would definitely recommend Hill top Lodge to anyone visiting Ghandruk.

The view from the lodge was just unbelievable. The owner was a very kind and gentle guy. Food was also decent. I highly recommend others to stay there.

Beautiful mountain view is one of the best in Ghandruk. You can order breakfast at terrace enjoying the view.

Solar shower is cold almost every time, depending on sun and weather.

Phenomenal view of the annapurna mountains and even better staff to cater to your comfort

Nothing

Everything about the hotel was awesome. The staff were friendly, the rooms were clean and the view from the hotel was breathtaking. Couldn't recommend a better hotel in Ghandruk if you tried.

It is a mini-hike from the buspark to the hotel, which takes around 20-25 minutes, and when you have lots of bags with you, it can take its toll. 😁

The people, the environment, the ambience, everything was so perfect and beautiful.

Nothing to dislike.

The view is amazing. And the staff is extremely friendly and helpful!

Sometimes there was no hot water

Everything. The location is superb with great views of the Annapurnas. Sandash and his family were lovely hosts and the food was fab.

Great location, great view in the morning. Good big breakfast, (if you drink coffee, go for the the milk coffee). Nice room, warm water in the bathroom. Good food, I loved the Chicken Tali. Sitting around the open fire outside was kind of cool. Hotel arranged the Jeep / Driver from Pokhara. Owner/Manager was very nice and supportive.

I was expecting some heat systems in the public breakfast/dining area - there was no.

Visited mid-November. Family run establishment. Everything was really good. View was unbelievable. Awesome food. Cleanliness, services everything top-notch. But for me, it was special because of the people who run the hotel. Nicest people on earth.

Everything is the perfect place. I stayed there for quite a while. But there was nothing bad for a moment. You get to meet a host, his family and staff who are as great as the perfect view and scenery.

The staff were very helpful. Food was also very good. Highly recommend to visit this property if you are visiting Ghandruk.

We stayed one night there. The owner was kind, hard-working & helpful. The food was delicious. Overall, the room was clean & nice, except there was no mirror in the room, which I found a little off.

The lodge took just 20-25 minutes to reach from the bus park. It was clean, had hot water, and amenities. The view was great from here and they serve yummy and fresh food anytime you want. It was worth every penny. And they have breakfast included with the room rent. The owner, Sandesh Gurung, and his family, welcomed us like their close ones. I never came across such warm people in my entire trip. I wish I could stay longer.

There's nothing to dislike, knowing their struggle to get things up there. But people may find their food a bit pricey but it's almost the same everywhere else in the village. Try the food, its yummy!

This place is so excellent! The views are stunning, the rooms are clean, the food is great, and the hosts are so kind! I wouldn’t change a thing. Wish I stayed longer! Will definitely be coming back here next time I’m in Nepal.

Family run lodge that has been with the family for many decades. You see 3 generations present with all pitching in to make the place welcoming and pleasing experience. The setup with balcony view is stunning and you get amazing views over the valley as well as the mountains for morning and evening views. The staff are very attentive and constantly asking if all is fine. The food was great ( like home cooked and what they would eat themselves) , highly recommend taking breakfast on the balcony with the mountain view before you. ( They will accommodate if you are nice about it) The room is good size and provides adequate facilities considering you are in a mountain lodge you should manage expectations. In the village there is multiple lodges and this looked like a more modern setup. In the evening they sometimes setup a bonfire which was nice to take in the open air. The place also felt safe to leave room closed without lock. But likely depends on others staying there at the time.

Being high up, you have to manage expectations, in the highest (most exposed) rooms you get great views but also be prepared to feel dampness during the night. Don't expect luxury with AC etc, otherwise you go for the views and fresh air, both are delivered in droves.

Was amazing experience Great hospitality Great food Great view Great facilities We absolutely loved it

This family run hotel in the lap of the mountains is doing its best in every aspect. Great hospitality, Rooms were great and the food was amazing. The views are amazing. Highly recommended.

The young family the run Hill Top Lodge are so kind and will help you with everything.The rooms are clean,the breakfast is very good and the view from the big balcony are amazing.

Our hosts were so loving and warm. Also the couple who runs it are a local / so food, stories, trek details everything comes from them. The food is simple and oh so nice

It’s a hike walk

Amazing people running this little place. Absolutely loved it. Great food and ambiance too. Definitely recommend!

I'm coming back to my home country Tunisia very satisfied and happy! The hotel feels like a home, cozy and in a great location, I wake up with every sunrise to watch the Himalayas from the balcony.. the staff are very kind and genuine. Lilla is a great chef, and good hotel keeper, he offers help whenever needed ! Thézz and his wife are wonderful mates as well , I will definitely come back! Dhaniyabaaad

It was the best stay we've had in Nepal. The owner and his wife were among the best people we've met in our lives. The room was clean and spacious, and the view was stunning in the room as well as on the balcony, no hidden fees whatsoever. His wife even gifted my girlfriend a three-piece traditional costume, hair deco, and bracelet, and did full make-up and hair styling for her! The owner also gave us a very professional photography session for free! It was definitely a beautiful and unforgettable experience in our life, thank you!

Amazing stay in the lodge, hosts were super friendly and welcoming. We stayed for 2 nights and truly enjoyed our every minute - the accommodation, the food and overall experience.

We couldn't be happier with our choice to stay here among the many options in Ghandruk. The panoramic mountain views were simply spectacular, the room was cozy and spotless, and the homemade food and chai were absolutely amazing. The hosts' hospitality warmed our hearts, making our stay even more memorable. We highly recommend this property to anyone wanting some comfort and pampering while trekking through this charming village.

The environment was friendly and so was the staff and owner. Full of warm and pretty cleanliness all around. Food was delicious and tasty 😋

This family run hotel was everything we were looking for. Although the 25-minute walk uphill from the Jeep Park was exhausting, the view of Annapurna range from the hotel balcony was completely worth it. Sandesh and his family made us feel right at home. Everyone is super prompt and carrying out their roles with a never-ending smile. We really enjoyed talking to Sandesh about different topics, and he provided very good advice regarding local treks and hidden gems. The room was really neat and tidy. The hotel was refurbished a couple of years back. You will get a perfect view of Annapurna range while sitting on the balcony with a cup of steaming masala tea/coffee in your hand. We recommend this place to everyone and will definitely go back again ourselves.

The views from the attached terrace is amazing. The hosts are very hospitable and sweet. Food is amazing.

The lodge is situated on top of the hill, with panoramic view from spacious terraces. Rooms and common space are perfectly clean, rooms have bathrooms with hot showers. The food is excellent and the choice is great. But the main virtue is the host, Sandesh, who along with his charming wife runs the place and creates such a warm atmosphere that it feels like home. I couldn't recommend this place more!

Everything was perfect
