Clean, comfortable and convenient
We spent 3 nights at River View Jungle Camp in Nov. 2022. This was our last stop of a 35 day trip to Nepal including 21 days of trekking and a stay in Pokhara. Overall the accommodations were some of the nicest we had during our time in Nepal. The room was large and clean. The fully functioning bathroom (with reliable hot water) was clean and the air conditioner worked. When we arrived, we were met at the gate by the proprietor and shown immediately to our room. He then organized our activities for the weekend and introduced us to our outstanding guide, Mungala. We had an action packed weekend doing all the tours with our guide and hotel mates. Our meals were all included in the price and the food was outstanding. The actual location of River View Jungle Camp was very convenient. It is a short walk via the river trail or city streets to the city center. Many shops and ATMs were nearby. We had a second floor room with a balcony that overlooked the beautiful gardens, river and jungle. Overall this worked out very well for us and we enjoyed the stay.

Meh
The good: location, nice hot water. The bad: a/c barely works, electricity wasn't stable only for this hotel it seems, hotels.com says my room should have a tv but there wasn't any (10usd more to change room). Wifi was also bad.

Good spot for Chitwan Nat. Park
Great location close to the entrance of the National Park. Staff were all super helpful and even let us know when there was a rhino right outside the hotel! Only downside was a lack of hot water for showers but overall a great stay!

I had a great stay at the River View Jungle Camp. The food was delicious, the lodging comfortable, good wifi in the main quarters, and a beautiful location on the river. Highly recommend!

Lovely first appearance to room..... balcony overlooking river..... staff very accommodating. Was good to b able to open windows as they had screens (mosquitoes) but no screens on doors. Only fault - ceiling fan was not working... could have used this instead of aircon.. Bath mat would have been useful. Otherwise very good.

Beautiful lodge, incredible wildlife
I loved my stay at River View! The staff are extremely helpful and gracious, the room was clean, and the safaris were amazing. The lodge is a set close to the river, so you are very close to the main area of the town, but it's fairly quiet and peaceful. The manager was very helpful in planning my onward bus trip and the safaris in the National Park as well. Overall, the experience was very laid-back and welcoming, while I still got to experience to excitement of seeing rhinos and elephants in the wild.

Nice and comfortable hotel on the river banks.
The hotel is very centrally in Saurahar located with rooms facing the river and others the garden. The rooms are up-to-date and clean. The provide enough to feel comfortable. The restaurant serves good meals at a reasonable price. The garden suffered because of the flood last September but the hotel staff is working hard to restore it. We were told also some of the facilities were under water but nobody would notice anymore. The best is the very individual support the hotel manager gives to the hotel guests. He is very helpful with all arrangements like tours at the national park of flight arrangements back to Kathmandu etc. Everything can be tailored to your wishes. We book individual tours avoiding the big crowds. The hotel assigned an individual guide to us who accompanied us on the three excursions we booked - riding on a government elephant to see rhinos, boat trip, jungle walk and jeep tour.

Hotel on the river with awesome balconies
We enjoyed the property and sitting on our own balcony watching the elephants pass by. We didn't see the rhino that wanders around the town though. We didn't price the tours in town but we felt the tours we took (canoe (with others) and then walk back through the jungle(2 of us and 2 guides) and jeep safari (with group) were not too expensive. Saw 3 rhinos on the jeep safari and lots of signs of sloth bear and rhino on our hike. We have been in a lot of jungles but this was the first one that I was nervous that we might see bear, rhino or rogue elephant as we walked back to the river. They were out there. The tiger is nocturnal so it wouldn't have been wandering through the bush.

Enjoyed our stay at RVJC. The owner was kind and accommodating. The staff was great. Even received a visit from a rhino. Nice location to town. Elephant block was hot when the towns power was out. No complaints, though.

スタッフは、いつも気遣ってくれて、とても親切。 部屋は、清潔で綺麗で景色が良い。 庭に野生のサイが来る。 ジャングルウォークに連れて行ってくれた！ 長期間滞在するには、食事が単調かもしれないが、周りにレストランがたくさんあるから問題ない。 何はともあれ、スタッフが良い！ ありがとう！

Personal war weitestgehend freundlich, jedoch schien dies sehr aufgesetzt. Ich hatte meine Jeep Safari kurzfristig am Anreisetag über den Hotelmanager buchen können, was super war. Jedoch habe ich im Vergleich zu anderen Teilnehmern deutlich mehr mehr bezahlt, das heißt das heißt das Hotel hat einfach meine Unkenntnis der Preise am ersten Tag ausgenutzt, was nicht sehr anständig war. Meine folgenden Aktivitäten habe ich mit eine der zahlreichen Agenturen an der Hauptstraße gebucht, die deutlich transparenter in der Preisgestaltung und Beratung waren. Das Personal und der Manager haben jeden Tag gefragt war ich mache oder wo ich war und ich empfand dies als alleinreisende Frau als extrem unangenehm, fühlte mich wie unter Beobachtung. Frühstück war inklusive aber nicht gut, Mittagessen war schnell da, aber die Qualität war schlecht. Abendessen kann ich nicht beurteilen. Späterer Check Out war moeglich. Ich hatte das Bungalow mit Gartenblick. Es hat eine kleine Terrasse, was sehr nett war.

1泊の滞在です。カトマンズ国内線利用しました。空港ピックアップは事前メールで$10との返事でした。予定より1時間半程度遅延しましたが、空港で待っていてくれました。空港ホテル間は車で30分程度です。 片言の日本語を話すオーナー?!がウェルカムドリンクと共に営業されます。ホテルを出れば幾らでもツアー会社はありますが、あちこち比較する手間と時間を考え、全てホテルで手配してもらいました。滞在時間からメジャーなアクティビティを計画して提案されますが、希望しないものを無理強いはされません。最終的に空港送迎と手配してもらったアクティビティとトータルでの支払い（現地通貨キャッシュで払いましたが、日本円キャッシュ可）となりました。 お部屋は快適でテラスでのんびりできます。朝食はネパール感はないですが美味しいです。立地は申し分なく、正面を出ればメインの通りなので、食事やちょっとした買い物（ビールやチップス等）できます。ホテル目の前に両替所あります（レートは前日のカトマンズ空港と同じでした）。敷地内から川沿いへ出ることが可能で、少し散歩していたら野生のサイがいました。前日ジャングルウォークの帰りに遠くに見ることはできましたが、まさかの至近距離にいました。 一人旅よりは友人やカップル、家族での滞在のほうが楽しめるかな、と思います。

Fint sted med hage. Frokost ok, men kunne gjerne vært som buffet der en kan hente ting selv. Føles bedre og gir mer valgmuligheter. Burde vært noe INFO om området på rommet.

Anlage ist ziemlich ok, die Zimmer sauber und vorhanden was man braucht. Ich würde die Zimmer mit Flussblick empfehlen weil die Stimmung dort besser ist. Das Frühstück ist nicht der Hit, die Angestellten eher neutral. Der Chef ist redselig und gut damit beschäftigt seine Ausflüge an den Mann zu bringen und zu organisieren. Wir haben alles über ihn organisiert weil es einfach bequem ist und man nicht auf der Hauptstrasse Massen von Agenturen abklappern muss. Alles in allem war der Aufenthalt absolut OK

Schönes Hotel direkt am Fluss
Das Hotel liegt sehr schön und ruhig direkt am Fluss, gegenüber dem Badeplatz der Elefanten. Ich hatte ein Zimmer im Hauptgebäude , welches sehr schön , sauber, geräumig und schön eingerichtet war. Mit einem tollen Balkon zum Fluss hin. Sehr bequemes Bett, schönes Bad mit Abtrennung zur Dusche. Wenn man das Zimmer gereinigt haben möchte , muss man den Schlüssel abgeben.Frühstück lecker (bis auf den Kaffee..) , Menü und für jeden etwas dabei. Das Personal (bes. Krishna, der Manager ) sind äußerst hilfsbereit und nett. Er hat mir diverse Ausflüge angeboten, zu einem Preis, der nicht viel höher lag als bei den Travel Agencies auf der Straße. Es hat alles wunderbar geklappt. Gutes WIFI. Ein sehr friedlicher , schöner Ort zum Entspannen!

Room for improvement
The staff was lovely and helpful and when we asked what could be done as our bed was inclined and a terrible mattress in the noisy budget room, they upgraded us to the better room at no extra cost. This was also their worst room as we could barely walk around the bed and fit our luggage and they did show us a better budget room after our complaint. Unfortunately the restaurant was dirty and food of poor quality, although has a great location and view. There is definitely room for improvement.
