The Begnas Lake Resort & Villas

Excellent resort in a beautiful location! Lovely staff and owners and great facilities and activities. Highly recommend!

Amazing lake and really nice Accom. Amazing boat ride in! Defo would recommend! Food and drink is expensive for Nepal - you’re kind of captive once you’re there. The lake is amazing - a snapshot of what Pokahara was like 20 years ago! I still remember…

Prices a bit high

The location is stunning, the boat ride over amazing, and the staff and service superb.

My shower was not hot enough....

Quaint, stylish and comfortable. Great arrival experience by boat.

Spa experience was mediocre.

It was very serene and well taken care off . Beautiful flora everywhere

Nothing

peaceful environment,staff were good,room was clean enough

there wsn't enough facility as we paid for it.and food wasn't good at all.

The location was really lovely. And wonderful birdlife..

Some of the gay male staff were inappropriate around my husband.

Very old property.

Horrible road construction from airport to hotel.

Staff were really helpful and attentive. Food was exquisite. Massages were really good!

Nice and secluded, beautiful views, very friendly staff, lovely cottages to stay in

Breakfast could have had a greater variety, would be lovely to have soya milk

The resort is very well cared for, with beautifully maintained gardens and facilities. It is in a very quiet area - a real contrast to busy Pokhara and Kathmandu - with opportunities for swimming in the lake and walks in the area. The staff are very friendly and attentive. A good range of food options.

Absolutely gorgeous retreat where we rested, relaxed, and recovered after trekking for weeks. Food was so so so good, the staff were very helpful and pleasant, and the owner went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect! Also dont be surprised if you fall in love with the animals he rescues! Can’t praise this place enough, for real, stay here if you can!

The most beautiful resort by Begnas Lake. Spectacular views, very clean and comfortable rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good wifi. Free transfer from the airport. The pets in the resort are super cute. The owner is a friendly chap, comes out and speaks to guests. Homely warm feeling during our entire stay. The breakfast idli was mind blowing.

Nothing at all

we felt right at home away from home surrounded with the most kind and hospitable people in a very beautiful and relaxing setting.

Pawan and the hotel staff were fantastic. From the great conversations we had, to the formidable views of the Annapurna mountain range we had form our balcony, to say that this hotel was great, would be an understatement. It has been an absolut pleasure to stay 2 nights at The Begnas Lake Resort & Villas. I can highly recommend this hotel for people looking to escape the noise an ectic pace life can throw at you. This hotle is the perfect place to recharge your betteries. The infrastruces and amanities where all impecable and made our stay a real treat. I will come back surely!

Beautiful location, staff were amazing and super helpful. Dock at lakeside was heavenly.

Nothing

I would recommend a brief stay to those who are interesting in relaxing on hotel property. Seems a bit confined/restrictive for those desiring more independent activities outside the property. Pros: Hotel facilities, scenery, delicious breakfast Cons: Hotel didn't seem to have the booking from Orbitz--especially stressful when you're traveling to foreign region with young children. Hotel up-charged for credit card usage at front desk despite Orbitz guaranteed rate; in fact, I later realized there would have been no charge had I paid online through Orbitz website at time of check in. Hotel refused payment in dollars unless it involved brand new crisp bills--over half of my dollar bills turned out to be useless due to slight wrinkles/folds/tears. Internet service was completely unreliable, especially for apple phones/tablets. Hotel staff did not clearly communicate timelines for booking advertised hikes/excursions and did not provide me with map of the region to permit independent exploration (I learned that another guest had been given a map upon check in, and when I returned to inquire I was told no maps were available.)

Lake at the front, and jungle wrapping around the back of the property. Swimming, yoga, massage, hiking, and bike riding in beautiful surroundings. Excellent staff

Brilliant garden setting. Jungle with monkeys surrounding you. Full panoramic view of Lake Begnas. Fabulous balcony for evening drinks. Swimming in the lake at sunset. Paddling in a boat on the placid waters. A clean, large swimming pool. Wonderful, high standard yoga classes. Wonderful massages. The rooms are so beautiful. All with balconies and views. The staff are all excellent! There is walk to the Begnas coffee house, and you can purchase coffee beans and honey. Some of us went mountain bike riding. There is something for everyone here. A once in a lifetime experience. Thank you to the staff.

If you are not looking for Ayurveda treatments, this is not the right place to stay for holiday. Otherwise its a good place to relax, but there is no Spa for "normal use".

We usually write a very short descriptive review with pros and cons of the place and even sums it up for you already in the subject of the review. This time we have so many burning things we have to write that we regret to inform you that it'll be long... And VERY accurate. For those of you with no patience at all (which we truly and utterly understand) WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO AVOID THIS RESORT !! As we are on our big trip, we've been traveling for the past 4 months (and keep on doing so for an additional 3 ;*), we've seen all sorts of hotels (and mainly guest houses - as you can't travel so long and keep staying in expensive resorts & hotels). Just to give you a general idea of the things we (sadly) grow accustom to - we just recently did the Around Annapurna track, followed by the Panchase (and prince Charles - look it up) tracks. We stayed at the High Camp - in a room of 20 people (filled by 7 including us) - trust us when we say it is not a pleasant stay (who ever made it that far in the track will immediately understand) - and the stay in the hotel mentioned in our review was worse. it's not the fact you're charged for every little thing - though they charge you for the breakfast you couldn't eat after the food poisoning you got from their last night's supper - because it's already been charged by the credit card company, it's not the filthy pool, old rumply towels, it's not even the fact that the bed was so horrible it was better to sleep with our sleeping bags in t
