The Pavilions Himalayas The Farm♡

Unbeatable Service

8.0

The staff at Pavilions are truly who make this hotel shine. As a seasoned traveler, this is the best customer service and hospitality I've ever experienced. The staff are experts at personalised interactions, remembering small details of what you prefer. They are always eager to please and go out of their way to fulfil any request. This results in an overall feeling that you have your own private team taking care of your every need. It helps that there are only 14 villas on the property. Super commendations to them all! The reason they (regrettably) lost a star for me is for the food and general upkeep of the hotel. There were many little things that weren't ideal, such as no organised tours or activities and improvements needed on cleanliness and maintenance. As for food, the menu is too large and varied for such a small farm to table restaurant which means quality is affected. Some of the food was really good and some was just ok. The common areas (washroom, yoga room, pool loungers) do not feel deeply cleaned, and our room though the cleanliness was ok, did have some cobweb and dirt build-up. What I will say is, having had a few conversations with the owners who are often at the property as they live nearby, they are receptive and grateful for our feedback. So hopefully in the future Pavilions can own that 5 star, because they definitely have the potential!

Relaxing Resort and Great Philosophy

10.0

The resort is set in a picturesque environment outside Pokhara. Perfect for a base exploring the region or relaxing after a hike. However the highlight for us was meeting the owner and learning about how the resort trains and gives back to the local community. They also have a school up the road which trains at risk youth to give them a future. We loved the opportunity to talk to them as they learn and move forward in their lives. This is what made the stay beyond special.

Perfect stay

10.0

We loved our 3 night stay at this peaceful oasis. Everything is perfect for relaxing and the staff were so helpful in arranging excursions for us. Special mention to Anuja and the team in the restaurant who were excellent (we ate every meal there for our whole stay). The food was delicious and the service was very thoughtful and attentive. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Already Booked My Return!

10.0

Since I only eat "plants," one can easily deduce why I instinctively gravitate toward any establishment with the word "Farm" in its name. Upon arriving, I was immediately struck by the beauty, the ORGANIC beauty, exemplified by not just happy flowers and animals, but happy employees! The vibe was so kind and gracious. My room was impeccable -- spacious, yet warm and inviting. My deck, and its gorgeous view, came with a greater variety of birds than I knew existed, each of whom simply couldn't have more to say to one another (or, in retrospect, perhaps it was MY bird-brain they were addressing . . . . hmmmmmm). Had several different massages (no, not in the same day!), and all proved more than beneficial for my busted up bod. Lastly, and most importantly, the meals. I'll spare the kind reader with the astronomical level of my happiness, other than to say, I'm returning to their establishment tomorrow, for roughly three more days! Whilst not exactly salivating with anticipation . . . I'm . . . I'm . . . fine; I'm salivating. There, I said it. Lastly, and perhaps TMI, I met a VERY nice sentient being, who accepted my offer to join me for a meal. Apologies if she objects to my sharing her absolute beauty.

Wonderful place to stay - and excellent treatments!

10.0

We had a wonderful couple of nights at the Pavilion in between a trekking trip and a rafting trip - and it was an oasis of calm. The room was large and the bed was comfortable - and the main area of the hotel is very relaxing, serving excellent food and drinks. We decided to stay local - and enjoyed an excellent cooking class at the hotel's partner organisation, well worth doing if you have the time. Also most definitely well worth doing is having a massage - this is not only excellent value, but is possibly one of the best spa treatments we have had. Which after the trekking was just ideal! Thank you all for such a lovely stay.

Wonderful off-the beaten-path, eco-friendly hotel

10.0

This eco-friendly, farm-to-table hotel was amazing! It’s in a beautiful location in the hills outside of Pokhara and is a wonderful place to spend quiet days in natural beauty with an excellent restaurant and spa. Their service, cleanliness, and dedication to giving back to their local community are impressive.
