Very Good

Perfect location in chitwan for accessing the national park and river. 10minute walk to the shops and restaurants although we ate at the lodge a few times as this was ideal.
Clean and comfortable rooms.
Staff were friendly and very helpful. They arranged us a walking safari with a very experienced local guide, just me my partner and another guide (i highly recommended this small group/personal option, a lot of the other groups we encountered were larger). They also organised a jeep safari with the same guy whos experience is second to none. Breakfast was included, this was good and they provided us with a sufficient pack up lunch for the safari. Cost of the accommodation and the excursions were excellent. Highly recommend, we would definitely stay here again on our next visit
Beautiful garden area, delicious and inexpensive restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, I really enjoyed chatting with Tika who runs the place.
A free Tharu stick dance was performed a couple of times during my stay, which was a nice interesting bonus. Everyone was happy to talk about (and knowledgeable of) local wildlife and where/how to see it.
Our hotel manager, Tika, was extremely helpful. We were in Sauraha for a conference and he was able to accommodate a colleague of ours at short notice. Hotel arranged a walking tour of Chitwan NP and it was a great experience. Breakfast was provided (eggs, toast, fruit/veg) and staff were attentive. Showers had hot water, fans and mosquito nets. Area is a great location to see a Rhino early morning/late at night!
We really liked our stay at the Gaia Lodge. The owner is an ornithologist who took us on evening walk, where we spotted many animals thanks to his enthusiasm. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and arranged all our excusions for a good price - and with good guides. A definite recommendation!
L'hôtel est très bien placé, proche du parc. Il y a de l'eau chaude et des moustiquaires. Les chambres sont assez spacieuses, je conseillerais celles des étages qui sentent moins la moisissure. Le service que nous avons reçu en revanche était absolument déplorable, peut-être par manque de formation et apparemment en l'absence du responsable de l'hôtel, nous avons été mal accueillis, nous n'avons pas pu obtenir une chabre correspondant aux spécificités de notre réservation alors que l'hôtel était vide, nous avons dû demander 4 fois à ce que quelqu'un vienne réparer la climatisation sans succès, etc... Je ne recommande donc pas du tout cet établissement, il y en a d'autres autour tenus par des personnes beaucoup plus agréables.
Incroyable séjour de 4 jours passé au Gaida Lodge à proximité directe du chitwan park.
Le personnnel nous accueilli avec chaleur par un jus de fruit dès notre arrivée.
Le lodge nous a organisé pour nous toutes les activités en lien avec le parc afin de nous faciliter la vie.
Restaurant très bon avec des tarifs très raisonnables.
Chambre avec moustiquaire et nombreuses prises our recharger les appareils électroniques.
Petit bémol cependant, les robinets de la douche et du lavabo ne fonctionnaient pas très bien.
Overall hotel was great for me. Outside of town just enough to be quiet but easy walk to whatever you need. Also can enter buffer zone and walk along the river by passing thru elephant corrals just across the street. Food was fine, and good price. There seem to be a variety of rooms with different comforts but hard to tell. I was on the top floor which is great for sitting in balcony and relaxing. Cold here in winter. Some rooms have heat. This website lists lots of amenities that certainly don’t exist at this lodge but didn’t effect my stay.

Le rapport qualité prix du Gaïda lodge est parfait. Le jardin et ses hamacs sont très agréables. Nous avons dormi dans le bâtiment du fond, au dernier étage. La chambre était jolie et l'ambiance au coucher du soleil tres appréciable ! (Chambre Oriolle)
Le petit déjeuner est un peu long à être servi, mais nous n'étions pas à Chitwan pour être presssés!

Das erste Zimmer welches mir angeboten wurde, war sehr dunkel und hat sehr modrig und unangenehm gerochen. Das zweiter angebotene Zimmer, war wesentlich freundlicher. Allerdings war die Decke im Badezimmer voller kleiner Motten und das Badezimmer war immer feucht und hatte nasse Wände. Die Betten waren sehr hart und hatten kein Lattenrost. Es müsste mal gründlich gereinigt werden und nicht nur oberflächlich. Im Zimmer hangen viele Spinnweben und es war sehr staubig. Zimmerservice (neue Handtücher, Bettwäsche, Reinigung) gab es keinen auch nicht nach 10 Tagen. Die Betten erinnern eher an ein Outdoorbett. Das Servicepersonal war sehr freundlich und das Frühstück welches inbegriffen war ganz ok mit Omelett, Toast, Marmelade und Kaffee. Es ist eher eine Jugendherberge, die wesentliches Verbesserungspotential hat.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Nice location and garden, but bad service and food
Service was really bad after the guys at the hotel found out we booked our jungle safari at another place. The price at Gaida Lodge is 3 time as expensive as the other place we found in the city. The food was really average as well. We also did some hiking in Nepal and stayed at much better accommodation even though it was in the mountains. All in all I would certainly not recommend this place for others, who plan on travelling to Chitwan National Park. The only good thing about the place is the location which is 10 minutes walk to centrum therefore it is quieter than if you stay on the main street which is nice after a long day in the jungle. The garden area is also pretty nice.

We stayed in a Deluxe room - Tiger Den - which was is desperate need of a facelift. The bathroom was falling apart (holes in the bath, toilet leaked when flushed). Bedroom wasn't clean and had a musky smell.
Staff were superb (especially the guy who ran the restaurant - very friendly and helpful). Food was good with large portions.
Location is a bit out of town (5 mins walk) so was nice and quiet.

Good room for price
The room was good size.room not cleaned everyday but towels were provided when requested.big size rooms nd bathroom.book safari from outside the hotel..don't ask staff as they will not give any clear information.buy tickets from bus park itself or from outside the hotel as it will be 200 Nepali cheaper.dont order food at the restaurant it takes 2 hours and will get uncooked food ..it's too expensive and if you step out too many eateries outside.

Nice,friendly with plenty of extra service! The Lodge driver took us to a good medical clinic when our son needed medical attention. The manager of the Lodge also came to the clinic to make sure our son was okay.

Apparently to get the best possible experience of Chitwan, it helps to pay a bit more for your hotel. After staying at Gaida, this is certainly not necessary!
A luxurious, air-conditioned room, with great staff who can't do enough for you and can arrange all your activities in a jiffy, means that you don't have to splurge to get that authentic jungle experience. With fantastic and knowledgeable guides working here, as well as a great beer garden and dining facilities, you're guaranteed a fantastic stay.
