Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Hôtel de charme, avec personnel plein d'attention. Localisation idéale sur l'une des plus belles places de Bhaktapur, tout en étant légèrement à l'écart de Durbar Square (10 mn de marche).
Beliggenheten var fantastisk og midt i middelalderbyen Bhaktapur! Sjølve bygget er også gamalt. Vi budde her 11 netter og blei godt kjent med området. Vi var også heldige og fekk oppleve ein religiøs feiring. Personalet er vennlig og er tilstede og lett å spørre om råd. Eigaren hjalp oss å planlegge tur til Nagarkot. Vi spiste også fleire gonger i restauranten - god atmosfære, god mat og kjekk betjening! Det er mange trapper i huset men ein får hjelp med bagasjen.
Amazing 15th Century building, in the most remarkable location. The staff and food were excellent.
Nothing to not like.
Situation incroyable sur l’une des plus jolies places de Bhaktapur, au cœur de la ville et des événements (j’ai eu la chance d’assister à Saparu). Accueil sympathique et bons conseils, dans un anglais parfait. Aide pour monter les bagages à l’étage (étroit et bas de plafond) et pour quitter la ville malgré le festival. Bon petit-déjeuner et café vraiment sympathique. Chambre authentique.
Il est un peu difficile de sortir de l’hôtel au petit matin (vers 5-6 heures), et pourtant c’est vraiment intéressant de voir les gens vivre à cette heure matinale (prières, courses maraîchères).
The guest house is located in a historical building. It offers a unique experience, but ceilings are relatively low and stairs quite narrow. The view from the bedroom was excellent, facing the square. Excellent a la carte breakfast.
La posizione, la cucina, la tranquillità della camera, la disponibilità del proprietario.
Personale gentilissimo, ambiente tranquillo e in un'atmosfera d'altri tempi. Si affaccia sulla bellissima piazza non seconda a Durbar Square. Ristorante ottimo.

場所がいい サービスがいい
ファシリティがそこまでいいとは言えない
It truly felt like a high-end boutique hotel, being at the same time local and authentic experience. Excellent breakfast, beautiful room, friendly owners, unbeatable location. Dinner was also very good
Wasn’t possible to sleep with open windows due to the street noise, but the windows provided surprisingly good insulation from it and the very efficient fan helped mitigate the July weather
Breakfast was great, the room had nicely crafted touches.
有名なお寺の広場の前でロケーションが最高。部屋もホテル全体も、ネワール様式の古風で素敵なデザインで、タイムスリップしたような感覚になります。スタッフの方々もとても親切で素晴らしい滞在になりました。
夜も広場からの声や音などが聞こえて、それが雰囲気があって更に良かったですが、人によっては気になることがあるかもしれません。
It is a lovely old house located on a beautiful square. We had a room with a view on it, while it was quite loud from the street noise (scooters and temple bells), it was amazing to sit by the window and watch the crowds.
Camera stupenda pulita tipica e posizione fantastica , personale eccezionale gentile ed accogliente , ottima colazione buona e abbondante
Excellent stay, beautiful old traditional building, very well maintained with beautiful cortyard where we had our meals. The food was delicious and the staff very accommodating . Overall probably the best place we stayed in Nepal!
位置好在巴德岗四个广场的其中一个旁。建筑有特色,早餐丰富。
What an amazing hotel in Dattetraya Square. This 700-year old gem of a building is built with gorgeous wood carvings on every post and window. Right out the front door, or out the windows in certain rooms, is the town square. It is fun and lively, but can be noisy if your room overlooks the square. One of our rooms was very quiet, the other less so. The beds were very comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant is good. I highly recommend!
If your room faces the street it will be noisy early in the morning. Also some mosquitos got in through the windows at night. But the hotel is still amazing!!
Staff was friendly. The building itself is old and beautiful, with stunning woodcarvings. The location is great.
On my first night I was woken up by a strange noise: there was a rat in my room. After waking up the night portier at 2am, they moved me to a different room (luckily no rats in this one). Considering what they charge, this is unacceptable. There's a tripadvisor review from 2025 that also complains about rats in the room. Looks like they still haven't solved the problem. In addition to this, the hotel is incredibly noisy, especially the rooms facing the square. After midnight there are still motorcycles, barking dogs, people talking, and the windows aren't soundproof at all. "Minor" issues: lack of cleanliness. Everything is run down and rather filthy, with a smelly bathroom. Rooms are dark and small, so if you're tall be careful to keep your head down constanly. I hate writing such a negative review, as the staff was really nice and apologized for the rats in my room. But still I feel fooled by all the enthusiastic reviews. I can only advise to stay somewhere else.
Very nice property. Authentic newari building. Very comfortable.
Very old and authentic. Felt like I was back in the middle ages. Staff fantastic. Room amazing! Location perfect.
Watch your head on ceiling beams and doors 🙄
Très bon
L exiguité de la chambre
Das Hotel ist einer der schönsten Unterkünfte, die ich bisher in Nepal hatte. Es ist ein ursprüngliches altes Haus und wunderschön eingerichtet. Ich hatte sogar die Wahl, ob ich ein größeres helleres Zimmer zur Straße haben möchte oder ein kleineres zum Innenhof, dafür aber ruhiger. Ich habe mich für das ruhige Zimmer entschieden. Die Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich und die Lage ist perfekt in der Altstadt von Bhaktapur. Auch das Restaurant kann ich nur empfehlen. Das Essen war hervorragend. Kann das Hotel zu 100% weiterempfehlen!
Beautiful traditional hotel in perfect location to old Bhaktapur. Highly recommend staying here!
It's a great experience staying in this 700 year old property with all It's original features. The rooms are very quaint, low doorways, ceilings, step stairs add to the charm. Lovely cafe area downstairs with statues and wooden carvings. Located on one of the historic squares and walking distance to other parts of the old town. Nice breakfast and served good coffee. Lovely hot shower.
Quite a hard bed but it was fine for a few nights. Traffic noise outside until around 10pm then went pretty quiet until the morning.
Everythings
The hotel is full of character with beautiful wood carvings. The location is amazing, right in the square. The owner is also incredibly helpful and the food was great. Wonderful place to stay
Peacock Guesthouse is a charming place to stay in Bhaktapur, especially if you want to experience the atmosphere of the old town. The location is excellent ,tucked inside the historic area and within easy walking distance of Bhaktapur Durbar Square. Hotel building has traditional character, with authentic Newari details that add to the experience. Rooms are simple but comfortable, and clean. Service is warm and welcoming, giving a more personal, homely stay. We always stay at this place when visiting Bhaktapur and surely return again.
Nothing
Peacock Guest House, around the corner from the Peacock Window is a wonderful place from which to explore ancient Baltapur. A welcoming host, excellent food, attractive and immaculately clean rooms, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Peter and Mary, England.
Historic, old building, close to action
Very dirty bedsheets, they obviously didn't change them for a long time, smell was terrifying and many yellow stains and hair. They didn't even apologize for that.
This property was unique with so much character.
Magnifique , ancien , charmant
La haiteur de plafond et le froid
Ein wunderbarer Ort zum Erkunden dieser magischen Stadt
Magnifique guest house, historique , dans son jus . on est vraiment au Népal ! Complétement dépaysant , personnel cuisine et petits déjeuners superbes !adorable, trés bonne s
Franchement je ne vois pas ..
L hotel a un charme fou. Tres beau datant du 15 ieme siecle qui vient avec les defauts du style
Superbe mais il faut tenir en compte la hauteur sous plafond qui doit etre de 175cm ainsi que le passage des portes a 150. Donc eviter si vous etes grand. De plus les chambres donnent sur une rue ou place tres passante. Boules Quiès indispensables
It’s a great location in a really phenomenal building. You will never have this experience anywhere else.
Loved it all. It was such an amazing experience.
Localisation, charme, gentillesse du personnel, nourriture
Hauteur de porte et escaliers difficiles
L'emplacement dans la belle place de Dattatraya. Belle maison traditionnelle, bois, végétation, atmosphère familiale, bonne cuisine, excellent petit déjeuner. A 15 min a pied du Darbar square.
Pas facile pour les personnes a mobilité reduite
The location of this guest house near Dattatreya Temple is a good base for exploring Bhaktapur. The rooms in the heritage building are cozy and clean. It was an adventure just getting to your room climbing up the steep stairs and through low doorways. The staff were very good.
The rooms that have windows facing the road are noisy with all the foot and car traffic.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had time before our drive to airport and we comfortably sat in restaurant playing games. Breakfast was good. The hotel is very old and a really neat place to stay. The location was excellent.
The bed was VERY uncomfortable, the mattress was too hard. My room was very noisy as it faced the side street. My friends room faced the courtyard, so was quieter.
L’établissement est typique népalais Très belle décoration Beaux matériaux Absolument divin Lit confortable Sdb impeccable en béton, eau chaude Attention : échelle x2 pour chambre 202 mais ils aident pour les bagages Ils m’ont organisé mon taxi pour l’aéroport, départ depuis la guesthouse 1500 roupies
Interaction avec les gérants peu confortable
Le charme de la Maison traditionnelle. L’emplacement au cœur de la ville historique. La gentillesse du personnel. De super petit déjeuner.
The place was so beautiful, the old house was charming and every space was beautifully decorated creating a serene atmosphere. The room was really cozy with a warm blanket so it wasn’t too cold at night. The breakfast was really good. Staff was also freindly and helpful.
出門就是廣場,參觀很方便 整間飯店都是古蹟,很有歷史的味道! 這次住在三樓的房間,窗口就可以看到廣場 真的超級chill 老闆跟員工人很好,也很熱心 這裡的一樓還是餐廳,東西也很好吃

Le personnel est extrémeent aidant et sympathique. Le lieu est magnifique.
風情がある建物、親切なスタッフ、良いロケーション
C'est un lieu paisible, et d'une grande beauté. La situation géographique est parfaite et le personnel charmant.
Amazing rooms, warm, great hot water (best hot water ever I’ve had in Nepal), amazing breakfasts, best coffee, and best staff - staff were so helpful. If I asked for laundry, it was done in one day and very cheap. If I asked for a car, it was there immediately and well priced. Staff were so kind and flexible.
the location, history of the building. it's uniqueness and history are really appealing.
only that the room facing the square can be a bit loud at times.
I would recommend this to anyone 1000 times. The staff was incredibly welcoming and hospitable. The location was so peaceful and perfect for exploring KTM and the surroundings. The facilities were so beautiful. It was cold at night but they provided heated blankets and a heater for the room. And plenty of hot water in the mornings!
Confortabel hotel in het oude centrum van Bhaktapur
Klein boutique-hotel in het oude centrum van Bhaktapur.
Tyckte om att det var ett gammalt hus som hade sin charm. Fina energier och mysig atmosfär. Personalen var väldigt trevliga. Varmt vatten och värme lampa fanns tack och lov, för det var jättekallt.
La struttura si trova in un edificio newari dal fascino incredibile, pernottare nella suite con vista sul tempio Dattatraya per me è stata un'esperienza impagabile. Le finestre in legno non sono molto isolanti acusticamente ma c'è da dire che la vita notturna è pressoché inesistente per cui la notte non ho avuto problemi con i rumori provenienti dalla strada. Ho soggiornato a dicembre e non ho avuto freddo, in ogni caso c'era una stufetta per scaldare la camera e lo scalda sonno nel letto. Ogni giorno in camera trovavo delle bottiglie d'acqua in omaggio, cosa molto gradita. Lo staff è super gentile e la colazione buona. L'hotel si trova a circa 15 minuti a piedi dalla Durbar Square, una piacevolissima passeggiata nel centro storico.
Se avete problemi a dormire con la luce vi consiglio di portare una mascherina.
Le peacock et un établissement magnifique et ancien, hôtel héritage en bois et brique. Jolie cour intérieure fleuri, mobilier et déco très soignés Le patron est vraiment très agréable et de très bon conseil. Il nous a aidés à organiser notre périple. Très bon dessinateur aussi. Personnel adorable comme très souvent au Népal. Nourriture de bonne qualité
En hiver l’hôtel n est malheureusement pas très confortable. Pas de chauffage sinon un chauffage d’appoint qui doit être éteint la nuit sinon c’est trop lumineux. Couverture de lit chauffante agréable . Mais il s’agit d’une très vieille bâtisse avec des portes basses, des escaliers très abruptes, une salle de bain très ancienne peu pratique.
The building is amazing, and the location is perfect. This would be enough to recommend it. Good Coffee at breakfast and, good breakfast. Room is comfortable and spacious, little bit cold but necessary devices for heating are provided. Everybody very nice and helpful.
It was a little cold, but this was my problem of not being used to stay in a cold place. This is something which is valid for all places we stayed. I just mention it so that if someone would stay, could be ready for that.
Posizione, struttra d'epoca affascinante ma poco curata nei dettagli e nella pulizia.
Camera fredda, bagno non comodo, acqua calda quasi sempre non disponibile
My absolute favorite hotel in the entirety of Nepal, been here 5 times already and I keep on coming back. Clean, magical! And the food as well is the best in Bhaktapur
Nothing
Direkte Lage am schönsten Platz in Bhaktapur. Von meinem Zimmer konnte ich das Treiben auf dem Platz und am Tempel beobachten. Das Haus ist sehr schön renoviert, die Zimmer sehr individuell eingerichtet. Bett war sehr bequem und das Frühstück gut.
Durch die sehr zentrale Lage bekommt man natürlich auch jedes Geräusch mit (Glocken am Tempel, feiernde Menschen etc.), aber das kann man sich bei der Buchung eigentlich auch denken. Badezimmer war für Nepal ok (ein Raum mit einer Duschbrause / fertig).
Favourite place to stay in Bhaktapur and possibly Nepal! Lovely staff, perfect location, gorgeous rooms and delicious food!
bellissima sistemazione in stile tradizionale ristorante top davvero buono e ambiente rilassante. La suite che da sul tempio sconta un pò di traffico dall'esterno ma è veramente bella
nulla
Ein altes, historisches Hotel, dass bestimmt vor einigen Jahren, den Tripadvisor Choice verdient hatte. Das Essen ist hervorragend und das Frühstück ist sehr reichlich. Die Vermieter und Service Mitarbeiter äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Matratzen sind beheizbar, was in den Wintermonaten hilfreich sein kann. Dankeschön dafür.
Unser Zimmer im zweiten Stockwerk war geräumig, mit niedrigen Decken, aber das wussten wir vorher. Das Bad hätte dringend eine Renovierung nötig. Aus der Toilette kam immer wieder Wasser heraus. Insgesamt finden wir den Preis für dieses Zimmer nicht angemessen. Man bemüht sich um Sauberkeit in den Zimmern.
Die Lage im ruhigeren Teil der Altstadt direkt am einem schönen Platz, das historische Gebäude, der sehr angenehme Restaurantbereich, das sehr gute Frühstück etc.
Es gibt nichts zu bemängeln
Struttura ubicata in una tipica casa newari nepalese molto antica e affascinante. C'è un area adibita a bar e colazione molto ben arredata con aggetti artigianali del Nepal. La camera è spaziosa e comoda e ben arredata. La colazione buona. Lo staff molto gentile.
L'unico appunto negativo che si potrebbe eventualmente fare il fatto che ci fosse un po' freddo in camera ma la coperta scalda sonno in dotazione è stata molto utile. Per il resto tutto bene.
Fabulous property, full of original and historic character. Perfect location, good food, helpful staff.
Some minor maintenance required- leaky toilet and a couple of dead light bulbs in the room.
Ligging, authenciteit
Lawaai van de straat (‘‘s nachts wel goed geslapen)
歴史ある建築物に宿泊できる貴重な機会を頂きました。その雰囲氣は維持されながら室内も清潔に調えられ不自由を感じることはありませんでした。スタッフ皆さんもとても親切に、いつも笑顔で対応して下さいました。皆さんのホスピタリティを感じました。吹き抜けで頂くボリューミーな朝食はバランスが取られており、美味しく頂きました。
宿泊した部屋がダルバール広場に続く道に面していたこともあり、夜はお店からの音楽、朝は早くからの生活音が多少、氣にはなりました。 ただ、建物の性質上、防音窓にはできないでしょうし、そこも理解した上で総合的に素晴らしい滞在をさせて頂けたと感じています。
Das ganze Haus ist eine Sehenswürdigkeit an sich! Das Zimmer gibt einem das Gefühl, gerade in der Karawanserei abgestiegen zu sein, so exotisch, da kommt direkt das Gefühl von tausendundeiner Nacht auf. Ein echtes Erlebnis!! Allerdings hat man nachts auch das Originalgefühl.. und das macht es recht laut vom Platz draußen, aber irgendwie gehört auch das dazu… Das Bett ist echt bequem, das WLAN sehr gut, das Bad ist eben auch ins historische Gebäude hineingebastelt, aber sauber, nur nicht besonders schön, eben zweckmäßig. Also, wir würden es JEDEM für 1-2 Nächte als ERLEBNIS unbedingt ans Herz legen! Wir würden es wieder nehmen! Ich habe sehr viele Fotos gemacht…
Ich hatte Sorge, weil die Decken ja so niedrig sind, aber man steht ja erstaunlich selten im Zimmer rum. Außerdem gibt es ja genug Sitzgelegenheiten..😉
Bijzondere accommodatie. Heel leuk om te verblijven. Authentiek en verzorgd.
Voor langere mensen is het plafond wat laag, maar dat past bij de sfeer.
Posizione, edificio storico, camera pulita e spaziosa, buona colazione, ottimo ristorante all’interno
Avevano terminato gli asciugacapelli, la signora ci dice che ne hanno solo 4, ogni camera dovrebbe averne uno. Reception quasi assente, poche informazioni sulle cose da fare/visitare e/o proposte di visite guidate/escursioni in zona
Posizione, pulizia, ottimo ristorante, buona colazione
La notte trascorsa nella suite non è stata così tranquilla rispetto a quella nella camera normale, davvero troppo rumorosa (affaccia sulla piazza). Consiglio le altre camere che peraltro sono più economiche.
The ceiling and doors were too low for me. I’m 183cm tall and I bumbed my head several times.
It was a traditional house with so much history that had been done up beautifully for guests.the staff were absolutely lovely and made us feel so welcome. We really would highly recommend the early morning tour with the superb guide Bikram organised through the peacock guest house
I loved everything about the property and didn’t want to leave
Интересная концепция и впечатления от проживания в здании с 700 летней историей.
Нужно уделить внимание чистоте постельного белья и пола.
Very helpful staff. They are kind and generous with their time. The house is very old and has a lot of character and history. Unbeatable location. Fantastic breakfast.
It is completely charming and elegant. We felt comfortable and well looked after. The bed is comfortable and the bedroom is quiet. The food was really good. The tours arranged with Bikram Suwal were wonderful - and when he wasn’t free, Raj was also brilliant. We will come back.
It was all wonderful
Atención y decoración
주요 관광지가 가까이 있어서 좋았어요
전통적인 것을 감안하더라도 시설이나 청결도가 너무 미흡했고 숙박비용. 대비 가성비가 너무 너무 떨어진다
