The manager made us feel so welcomed and valued, and his genuine approach to ensuring every guest has a wonderful experience truly stood out. Rameshji has been really kind and patient during our trip to Lumbini which made the trip safe, pleasant and soo enjoyable. Also, the meals we enjoyed during our stay were simply divine. Somduthji also waited till 23.30 to serve us food and ensured we ate properly. Our guide Mungrahji made our safari ride memorable with his broad knowledge about wildlife. He knew all the good spots to look at rhinos. Each of you contributed in your own unique way to making our stay an experience that we will always cherish. Thank you again for everything and for making us feel at home. Will definitely come back again.

Nothing bad to say.

Very comfortable room, excellent staff, great location, good food. Krishna, the manager arranged all our safaris/ excursions, with Mangara, a superb guide with encyclopediactic knowledge of birds, animals, plants, local Theru culture etc, and there were only my wife and I, guide and driver on all our trips, compared to most of the others we saw with 10/17 people per vehicle. We may have paid more for this treatment, but didn’t even worry about quotes from other tour companies because our experiences were amazing, thanks to Krishna and Mangara. Because of the experience of our guide we saw 11 rhinos, 4 species of deer ,two species of monkeys, sloth bear and golden jackal and 85 species of birds. Best shower recess we had in all Nepal.

One of the taps in the bathroom leaked a bit, but we put a bin under it to catch the water

We were the first visitors after the place had experienced a flood from the river overflowing from the previous week. To have cleared all the mess from the floods was an amazing effort by the owner and his team as it meant we were able to have a very enjoyable stay and not rearrange anything. They were in the middle of some building works but they had acknowledged that on the Booking.com info, and as it was during the day, it didn't really affect us as we were out on tours. We did a walking tour and jeep safari on one day, both of which were excellently led by our guide Mangara. On the the other day we went to 20,000 lakes where saw loads of birds, some deer and marsh muggers (crocodiles). The breakfasts were good and the room was very comfortable with good A/C. All in all, a lovely couple of days.

The new building meant that we could not see the river from our room, but this is just a small thing compared to all the other good points.

Enjoyed our stay here very much, our host was really friendly and offered help whenever we needed it, but wasn't always bothering us. The staff who served us breakfast were always really kind and polite. Beautifully tended garden, full of blooming dahlia's. Clean room, huge bed, lovely bathroom with excellent shower, hot water never a problem. We had a room overlooking the river which was great. Great location in the heart of Sauraha, but nice and quiet, which we liked.

Fortunately, the property is lucky to be expanding and building new rooms... unfortunately, the foundations were being dug during our stay, and the new building is going to be right in front of the old one. We couldn't really sit out on the balcony when they were working as it was noisy and dusty. More outside seating for breakfast would be much better as you look out onto the river. Balcony chairs weren't very comfortable even though they look in keeping with the style.

The location of the property is perfect (on the Main Street) and the staff are really helpful and nice. The room itself great value for money and good for a couple of nights. The outside is beautiful and the room is comfortable with AC and a fan.

The shower pressure wasn’t great, more like a trickle of water, and with it being so hot/humid a good shower is really important. Ok for a couple of nights but would struggle staying any longer.

We found RVJC to be an excellent place to stay(stayed in the double/twin rooms with terrace). Our rooms overlooked the Rapti river, assistance with tours and forward bookings from Mr. Krishna(a super host) was greatly appreciated, saw a rhino within the the hotel compound one night, mongoose and common languor before we even got to the national park. Thoroughly enjoyed the safari in the park(thanks Mr. Burma our guide). Thank you to all the staff at RVJC and all the best.

Nothing all was perfect for our stay.

The property is set in a beautiful garden overlooking the river. It is a very peaceful and relaxing environment, and you wake up to the sound of nature. I saw elephants and rhinos from my balcony and from the garden of the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and made me feel comfortable and safe whilst staying there (female travelling alone). The property is set along the Main Street of Sauraha so you can access restaurants and groceries very easily. Krishna helped me to book my jeep safari and also organise transport back to Kathmandu following my stay.

Very beautiful, well maintained and peaceful garden where you can sit to eat or read or relax, which looks out on nature and the river. Overall a lot of green and beautiful flowers. Hospitable owner/manager who loves to make a chat with all guests. Overall felt very homelike and personal. Different kinds of food available.

Except for breakfast, the meals seemed to be made on request. This is a great service and there where lots of options, but sometimes it took a while to get it.

Spacious & spotless room with lovely balcony exceeded my expectations. Felt like being in the countryside even though it is a central location on the Main Street. Saw a rhino grazing just a few metres outside the fence and saw an elephant bathing in the river.

Breakfast a little basic if I’m nitpicking.

Really beautiful outdoor area. Plenty of room to relax in a beautiful environment. (benches, gazeebo. Our room had a small patio, which was a nice area to relax and enjoy the beautiful garden. Helpful and nice Staff, especially Krishna the owner. They offered us a welcome drink and gave us some information about the National Park, which was very interesting. They helped us organize our bus trip back to Kathmandu and even drove us to the bus park for free. Restaurant was convenient and offered good food. Breakfast was satisfying. Bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Overall an extremely pleasant stay! Would visit again.

Room smelt slightly of smoke. Wifi connectivity was close to none. We had to use data most of the time. Water in the shower was lukewarm on our second night.
