Family hotels and homes in Nuwākot

everything!! but mostly the staff

Peaceful and really beautiful place, awesome location, friendly family.

Our one-night stay at Raniban Retreat was short but deeply restorative—just the kind of peaceful escape we didn’t know we needed. Perched above Pokhara, this hidden gem offers stunning panoramic views of the Annapurna range, Phewa Lake, and the city below. The moment we arrived, it felt like we had been transported to another world—quiet, calm, and wrapped in the embrace of nature. The retreat is beautifully and tastefully designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Winding stone paths, wooden cottages, and lush greenery all contribute to a sense of tranquil isolation that melts away the noise and stress of city living. Even though we were there for just one night, it was more than enough to recharge our social batteries and reconnect with ourselves. The hospitality at Raniban was equally unforgettable. From the start, the team was warm, attentive, and thoughtful. Pradip, the operations manager, made our check-in a breeze and later surprised us with a heartfelt farewell ceremony steeped in Nepali tradition—a touching gesture that left a lasting impression. Rakesh, the manager, was ever-present to ensure everything ran smoothly. A very special mention goes to Asvin, who went out of his way to take care of us throughout our stay. He thoughtfully surprised us with an impromptu candlelight dinner—a magical and unexpected gesture that made our evening extra special. He was always on hand to assist with our questions, and his attentiveness and genuine warmth made us feel incredibly well cared for. The food at Raniban Retreat was another highlight—fresh, organic, and packed with flavor, much of it sourced directly from their own backyard garden. Dining with a view of the Himalayas made every bite feel like a celebration. Despite a minor setback with a piece of broken luggage (damaged during our flight), the staff went above and beyond to help us manage the issue.

Best view of stupa, lake and mountain ranges. Cozy rooms , affordable price.

Everything was perfect. Room is big and comfortable, all the facilities you might need, cleaned every day. Breakfast was really tasty. Staff friendly and helpful, easy to communicate. I felt safe and comfortable.

Stopped here before the trek, just looking for a place to crash, but ended up finding a gem. Staff were legends, food hit the spot, and the whole vibe was pure comfort. A solid 10/10 on all fronts. Came back after the trek too, couldn’t resist. Clean, cozy rooms, warm hospitality, and a calm atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. If you’re chasing that peaceful stay with good people and great service, this place is a no-brainer.

Amazing and friendly staff, big and lovely room, great location. After traveling for a while I was looking forward to a pool day which unfortunately wasn’t possible as there was an issue with the filter in the pool which would have been nice to learn in advance. Also had an issue with power cuts for the steam in the spa but ended up chatting to and getting to know the lovely staff for a long time instead which was super nice. A bit on the pricey side, but definitely recommended if within your budget and a nice relaxing stay :-)

It’s very nice laughing family house. If you walk from the tourist bus stop to hotel just 2.5 km away. 30 minutes walk after long time journey it’s very good exercise. Well atmosphere and sarrounding . Management helps you to maintain your tour and trekking to Annapurna Base camp what I having from today. Hope lovely and helpful guide more exciting doing this and highly recommended

The team went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable.
