Gorkha Gaun Resort

I wanted so much to rate this accommodation 5/5. The location is lovely and the staff are wonderful, in particular Jyoti who looked after us and took us on a tour of the village, Mr Keshar was delightful too. The views of the mountains are gorgeous when it is clear. Unfortunately after eating Chicken Chow Mein in the evening , and having a small sample of the Raksy millet alcohol; I became very unwell to the extent of not being able to eat breakfast . Things worsened when we reached our next destination and lasted for the rest of our holiday which was a special treat and very expensive. I think that the food was pre prepared as we were the only guests and maybe reheated. My food was not pleasant and the chicken tasted not tight and I should have said so, but as the only guests I felt unable to do this. I ate little of it as it was the worst Chow Mein I have ever had and oddly it was served with Tomato ketchup. My partner ate curry and this was fine. Because of poor food hygiene, my trip to Nepal was effectively ruined. This is totally unacceptable and this is the first time in decades of travelling around the world that this is has happened to me. I would not recommend this accommodation because of my experience and this is such a shame as I really loved the ethos of this business.

Property is in a great location. Fantastic hospitality. Beds are comfortable and room is cozy. Staffs are well trained and nice. Recommended place if you love to relax in peaceful environment. Also, if you love hiking, you have many options to travel around.

I stayed overnight at Gorkha Gaun in the recommendation of the owner of a previous place I’d stayed in. It’s a few km from the centre of Gorkha, which was fine for me. The hotel organised a cab into town. From there I was happy to explore and make my own way back. The room was comfortable, with the largest bed I’ve ever seen in my life! A terrace and a comfy chair to sit outside would be a good idea though. No air con - just a fan. This was ok as the room didn’t get too hot. Bathroom worked well. Nice shower. Wi-Fi so-so. Not too bad. It’s hard to give an accurate review, as I was the only person staying there. It felt eerily silent, and I didn’t really like being the sole focus of attention. Clearly with a few guests and a bit of a buzz around the place, things would feel very different. But the staff were friendly, the food was good, and I enjoyed sitting out with a beer after my hike. I hope things pick up for them soon.
