Lumbini Village Lodge — Hotel in Lumbini Sanskritik

I was very tired after a 8hr bus ride from Pokhara today, checking in room 205 (pic)|around 4pm, lying in bed for a nap and gradually found out that there were actually more than 20 mosquitos hiding at diff places in the room and they were starting to feed on me while I was trying to make the nap.||"Hot water" was actually not even warm and it was actually from a weak solar heater. But the real problem was the shower faucet that only had dripping power .(pic)||Wifi went dosconnected every 30 seconds, max 1 min if lucky.||No electricity from the power socket (pic), I could not charge any of my gadgets at all.||I asked the manager to let me go, then the boss offered to change rooms (yet I was told there was only one room left when checking in). When opening the new room door there were even more mosquitoz flying around . I gave up.||I was asked to pay half the room fee 1000 / 2 = 500nps when I left the lodge at 6:30pm. So the net time I stayed there was no more than 180mins.||I usually do not read guide books but I picked up this guidebook from a guesthouse bookshelf in Pokhrara and followed the advice to this lodge, unfortunaely it turned out to be the biggest regret I had on this journey in Nepal ( I survived all basic-oriented teahouses on Annapurna Circuit Trek and Poon Hill Trek in the past 30 days in Nepal yet this Lumbini Village Lodge was the first one I decided to packed up and run.) I will not touch guilde books anymore and I will only rely on more reliable online reviews from now on.||The receptionist boy was very polite and helpful though, yet the business was not in...

They don't have sufficient hot water. For me and the other guests there was none as they only utilise their solar rather than the backup electric. When I arrived I was told I could check-in at 11:00am. I was the only guest waiting and the rooms were being cleaned already, though it was 13:00 when I finally checked in. The bed blanket stank like it had been in a pig shed for a decade and when I requested another they said they had no spare sheets or blankets as they had an issue with the laundry (so they gave me a filthy blanket and ripped sheets instead). Lumbini is very cold during this season, so to not have hot water (especially after a long night bus journey) is beyond appalling (they probably do too but they're trying to maximise profits by removing staple services). I moved to another hotel nearby who turned on the electric system so his guests could have hot water as the overcast weather didn't allow for sufficient energy from their solar. The character of the owner was too clearly that of 'money...
