The staff were so helpful and welcoming. They did so much to make our stay a memorable one. Our room was lovely, clean and tastefully decorated and furnished. The food was great and we also had a cooking class with the chefs - learning how to make delicious Momos!!! We loved feeding the elephants in the morning and hearing about their lives at the Sanctuary. We also took a canoe ride and jungle walk to see crocodiles and rhinos! Our guide from the lodge was so experienced and knowledgeable and took the time to talk to us about the wildlife in Chitwan on our Jeep tour. We loved every minute of our stay!!

Everything. Met the owner, what an inspiring person. I had read some bad reviews on this hotel and could not believe it was the same place. The rooms were clean, bright, decorated and comfortable. The lodge lives up to it's eco-friendly statements and the food was excellent. Most of the staff are training and all were excellent in service and friendliness. The location is right on the river and they walk the rescued elephants there every afternoon. Such a treat to stand next to them. The local rhinos wander past when they feel like it. It's magical. The company truly supports the community. Congrats to you for what you have built. I have already recommended your hotel to friends.

Situated next to the river, close to the nature park, cozy terraces, outside fireplace in the evening, very punctual and friendly staff, luxurious room and a manager that is proactive and correct. We loved our stay ! also the nightly visit of the wild elephant was a special experience.

Fabulous location on the banks of the river provides excellent conditions for observing wildlife. The kitchen was very good, offering a fair choice of Western, Nepali and Indian foods.

Very nice lodge. You can view wildlife from the hotel. The restaurant is very good too.

A gem of a hotel. The staff, the facilities, the room, the food. Without a doubt, the experience in Chitwan would have been different if we had not booked the Sapana Village. Best of all is the development project and sustainability programs they have. We did the Safari directly with them, all well explained and guided and we were lucky to see even a Tiger. We will miss this stay very much! Thanks to all the staff of the hotel!!

The Sapana Village Lodge is as much an idea as a resort. It is based around a philosophy of changing the local environment by diverting profits to create schools, building a village for a disadvantaged caste that was deeply affected by floods and creating social empowerment programs. If that's not enough they have organic gardens, support an industry making smokeless stoves and have a refuge for old and/or infirm elephants. I have never experienced anything like it. Aside from this, the food is great, the staff are brilliant, the resort is peaceful, the architecture superb and the rooms are excellent. A dollar spent here spins around the community bringing work, opportunity and education to the district of Chitwan. This is an amazing initiative and a treasure in the tourism industry of Nepal.

Our stay at Sapana Village Lodge was fantastic. One of the highlights was the opportunity to observe and interact with the rescued elephants. Every morning and evening, we could watch them taking a bath in the river, and we also participated in the feeding activity in the morning. The staff at Sapana Village Lodge are incredibly nice and friendly. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and were always available with a smile.

Great place in a wonderful location. I had been working in Bengaluru in South India which has a hectic pace of life. To come to this place where all is tranquility was perfect. We stayed eight days and enjoyed the elephants, the golden orioles singing in the garden, no sound of traffic, the all day outing into the jungle, the room, the elephants, my surprise birthday breakfast on the terrace, the friendliness of the staff, lunch with our host and hostess at the hotel. Did I mention the elephants? It was heavenly. I was happy to just stay in the hotel garden for most of the time.

It’s a cool hotel from the perspective of Community Based Tourism. They seem very serious about supporting local communities, working with NGO’s to protect local flora and fauna.
