Lovely chill garden, beautiful lights, very good Wi-Fi. Dan is really turning the place into small paradise! Can't wait to be back. Highly recommended!

The guesthouse is located in the center so it was very easy for me to go around the city with the help of an app called Pathao which the hosts Dan and Rose recommended. After finishing up with my day - it was always a treat to come back to this beautiful oasis cocooned amongst trees and monasteries. It was adorable how I was always greeted by the rescue dogs and even cats whenever I came back :) The wifi has been amazing, the bathrooms spacious with working hot showers. Everything was always maintained and kept clean and I loved the light and fluffy blankets to keep super warm during the cold nights. It was amazing to see how everyone pitched in and worked together at times to help out. The hosts have done a brilliant job at putting up a setting where one can enjoy their personal space or join in with the others and share a wonderful time together.

Danny and Rosie are fantastic! They both are very helpful and told me a lot of useful hints for transportation, places to eat, etc. There was even one day when I was feeling a little down and Rose bought me take-out chow mein. They care about their guests and have put their lives into what they do.

The hosts Dan and Rose with their cute rescue dogs and cats are simply wonderful and so kind :) It was always calm, peaceful and relaxing - loved the vibe of this guesthouse. Loved sitting in the garden, sharing conversations and good music from all over! The Wifi of this place was super fast, everything was always clean, fresh linens and working showers! Best part was how we often went out to the Monkey Temple together, walked around, came home, watched movies on the projector, sharing meals together. Thank you for everything- you guys are amazing hosts!

The rescued animals brought a sense of family to this perfect, quiet hideaway in a bustling crazy city! The hosts were cool, too, I guess but the KITTENS 😂 Also, the view from the rooftop is unmatched.

The owners Dan and Rose are very kind and will make you feel right at home. The place was so relaxing and peaceful and it was so lovely to be surrounded with their adorable rescue family of cats and dogs. Monkey temple is very close by which was a frequent visit and the owners also recommended a short hike past the White Monastery where we could see the whole city view up in the mountains! The common kitchen, amazing Wifi, clean bathrooms and fresh linens made it so easy to settle down here but it was the people, the conversations, time spent together and the amazing energy of this place that made it effortless to fall in love with this hidden oasis in the middle of the city.

This place was more than my expectations and I ended up staying 8 extra nights! I loved the beautiful garden and the rooftop view. The location is very peaceful, surrounded by monasteries and just a few minutes from the Monkey Temple. I got to see many monkeys passing by and jumping around. You feel like you're far away yet you're very much in the center of the city. The dorms only have few other single beds so it never felt crowded, loads of windows with the view of garden, comfortable beds, excellent WiFi and hot shower, and the shared kitchen was a convenient option :) Thank you Dan and Rose for an amazing time together!

The Laughing Buddha truly is an oasis of calm in the midst of a sometimes chaotic Kathmandu! Rose and Danny are incredibly thoughtful and welcoming, taking care of every guests' need and creating a warm and welcoming space. One of the highlights of the Laughing Buddha is the menagerie of animals who are part of the family, including a monkeys that swing through the neighborhood. The Swayambhu location makes this place the best!

Absolutely amazing! We are currently on a trip around the world and this may have been one of our most favorite places. Rose and Dan are the kindest souls, what they're doing in Kathmandu is heartwarming. They care about their community and the home they've built with their passions. We truly felt at home with them, conversing as friends, enjoying their common space with tea, and best of all cuddling with their lovable pups and kittens. I can not reccomend their place enough. It is the perfect oasis in Kathmandu. They're doing a great thing and it would be an absolute privilege to stay here again!

A hidden gem on a beautiful hilltop location in Kathmandu. Hospitality of the host is beyond the ceiling of anyone's expectations. Dan is the best host I've met in my years of traveling. He exudes sincerity and friendliness, always eager to help and know you. Thanks Dan. I'm already looking forward to going back to the heavenly house again, surely for a longer stay then.
