Khachhen House Maatan
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Pranaya was totally friendly and helpful and we immediately felt at home. The bathroom was absolutely clean, the kitchen was superbly equipped and the area was beautiful. We have nothing to complain about and already miss this place! Thank you!

Penthouse Apt. near the tourist hotspot of Thamel
Really clean and neat apartment flat with air conditioning which is actually on the top floor of and managed by the Mila hotel, which made checking in and out a doddle! Great views from the windows out over Kathmandu and there's also a rooftop bar. The keycard required a certain technique(!) to open the door but once we had mastered that, was no problem. Location is great near the middle of Thamel. Finding it on google maps didn't seem that easy for the taxi drivers but the hotel provided extra instructions to find it which were very clear, so would suggest making sure you use these. Enjoyed our stay here, it was almost a shame we did so much so we didn't spend so much time in the flat!

New Apartment with balcony
An absolutely wonderful host, Very soulful, attentive and radiating of love. Always there to help. Raju’s family occupies part of the building- they did their utmost to help and attend to our needs whenever they could. V peaceful, a bit of a walk to Tamel but overall a really nice and friendly area that grew on me during the stay. Extra homey- couldn’t recommend more. 😁

Cozy, private space near tourist area of Thamel
Great Stay with Kopila! I had a wonderful stay at Kopila's place. The room was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was convenient, and everything went smoothly. Kopila was a great host—friendly, responsive, and helpful. Thanks for the great hospitality!

Neo Modern 2BHK Apartment
Our stay at Subu & Malas place was better that we could have asked for. For being in one of the most active, fun, and engaging areas of Kathmandu, the space itself feels like an oasis away from the world. Subu & Mala were also great at helping us arrange a ride to the airport, and understanding with any incidents we had along the way.

Shanti Apartment 2BHK(Thamel<5 min walk) 2nd Floor
It was a great place to stay but with the construction next to the place it was very noisy from 6:15 am on. Then the school right next door was also very noisy early in the morning. If the noise doesn't bother you then this was a good value.

Flat in beautiful Newari house - Charming!
Not only was the apartment beautiful but the staff went out of their way to be helpful. Arranging taxis, tracking down my sunglasses that I left in a tour van (ugh!), recommendations, etc. Excellent location in old town. So friendly. And don't miss the rural area tour with Sohan -- he was an excellent tour guide and took us to see so many great things that we would never have found.

Artelier Homes "Black and White House 3" 300 sq. ft
I really enjoyed my stay with Lumi. Communication and flexibility were great. I really appreciated the early check-in. The place is comfortable, stylish, and has all the amenities you need for a short or long stay. Lumi’s housekeeper, Ravesha, is super helpful and kind—having her around was a great plus. She also cleans the room every two or three days if you have a long stay, which is great. The location is absolutely amazing—within walking distance of many temples, coffee shops, and Patan Durbar Square. It’s also easy to get around the city from Patan. There’s even a gym nearby if fitness is important to you, as it is to me. If I ever go back to Kathmandu, I’ll definitely stay with Lumi again.

2BHK Apartment in Central Kathmandu
I had a wonderful stay at Bishnu’s apartment in the Bhatbhateni Apartments in Kathmandu. The location is excellent, with easy access to local attractions and amenities. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. Kiran was an excellent local host—responsive, friendly, and always willing to help with any questions or requests. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Kathmandu and would gladly stay here again in the future.

Tahaja Guest Tower
The place was very peaceful and beautiful, the food was very nice as well, everything felt like home and I felt taken care of and nourished. Thank you 🙏
