"Overall property was pretty good with garden area and outside dining. Food was acceptable. Off the main road and so less dust and traffic noise. Fan and AC unit worked. Room not as clean as it should be.
Main problem, they had screen doors on each room which made a loud banging noise every time they were closed. With about 20 rooms that can make for a lot of unpleasant noise especially at all hours of the night. Also lots of people were smoking in all of the nice outside areas, not in the rooms...
"Dingy room with dirty bedsheets, torn curtains, the fan did not work nor did the air conditioner and NO HOT WATER. One of the shabbiest places I have ever come across."
"This hotel is excellent in condition, we stayed in a family room, the bathroom was one of the biggest if compared to other properties.
The breakfast was satisfactory, not many options for the vegetarians, but not bad either.
Their lunch and dinner menu is a bit expensive than the Restaurants outside. The trips they organise are expensive. Rather book your own trips directly with the Tour agents in the market which is within the 1000 metre radius.

"SAPANA LODGE IS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. Western comforts, Nepalese style, natural environment with access and inter-action with Elephant Breeding grounds and trainers. i have stayed at Sapana Lodge two times already and will return for a 3rd visit next year."
"Comfortable room after asking to change when saw room offered on arrival. Rooms donor look as good as photos. Only real minus was the level of noise from 6 am as guests getting ready for early safaris banged doors and talked loudly in corridors outside of rooms."

"Overpriced, overhyped, and overwhelmingly disappointing
I genuinely don’t understand the rave reviews about Sapana Village Lodge, my stay felt more like a lesson in what not to do in hospitality. Sure, the view is lovely… but you can’t sleep on a view. The room? Dim, musty, and crawling with ants quite the “rustic charm,” if that’s what you’re into. The bathroom felt like it hadn’t seen a proper cleaning in ages, and the linens had a damp, moldy smell that made me question everything.
The service was painfully slow and disorganized. I waited over an hour for dinner and when it finally arrived, it was bland, lukewarm, and overpriced. The staff were friendly, but the whole place felt like it was running on guesswork and good intentions rather than actual management.
What really pushed me over the edge was the outrageous pricing for activities. They charge a premium for basic excursions like canoe rides and jungle walks and we later found the exact same experiences literally down the road for half the price, with better guides and no pushy upselling. It felt like they were taking advantage of guests who didn’t know any better.
If you’re into paying luxury prices for a mediocre lodge and a side of frustration, then maybe this is the place for you. "
