Could not fault this hotel really, staff were amazing and the hotel was run very smooth with minimal disruptions to guests. food was top notch. if i had to have a moan it would be to have more food options available for food intolerances common to western societies like Gluten etc and this too would go for the menu. had a massage after my trek and was not disappointed and it was well worth the money. location is good near the Boudanath Stupa too within 5 mins walk. Beds were super comfortable.
( These are not dislikes - just suggestions) , for me maybe some ambient music in the common areas like reception and restaurant maybe a good idea as it can be quiet at times. also as per above I would suggest they include food allergens on their menu and train staff on same regarding dietary needs of people. other than that I would have no dislikes even if it is under the flightpath but even I as a light sleeper did not let that bother me at all.

De warme, oprechte, hartelijkheid en dienstbaarheid van deze lieve mensen.
De prachtige ligging, een oase van rust in deze harmonisch chaotische stad.
En de ruime suite met aan 3 kanten ramen💗

I've been coming to Kathmandu for 14 years and have stayed in a number of different neighborhoods around the city, however this was my first stay at Boudhanath. From the moment I arrived, the staff was extremely attentive and this became even more evident when I came down with a flu on the evening of my arrival. They bent over backward to provide me with foods I could keep down and even offered to get me medicine. Even more important, my room was exceptional: modern, spacious with separate sitting area, mini bar and fridge, separate desk, huge soft bed with beautiful linens). The wi-fi was excellent. The included breakfast (once I could eat again) was delicious and offered a varied menu. The location was a mere 10-15 minute walk from Boudhanath Stupa. And the price was perhaps a little higher than I normally pay, but affordable. Bottom line, it is the best hotel I've ever stayed at in Kathmandu and I will stay here from now on.
Absolutely nothing

Our stay at Shambling Boutique Hotel was both an amazing start for our visit to Nepal as well as a beautiful gift for Christmas.
Every little detail was so charming and full of heartwarming hospitality.
It started with the smooth and welcoming pick-up from the airport, the warm reception, and continued with the tastefully decorated room, the perfect cleanliness, hot water (in Nepali winter) and the incredibly cosy bed.
he food was just another highlight: breakfast set in the serene garden and dinner in the restaurant under the Christmas tree, we enjoyed every delicious bite and sip.
But what stood out the most was the skilful and truly caring staff. Whenever even a hint of a wish arose, someone was already there to make it come true. Always gentle, always with a solution right on the spot and always with a bright smile.
This is hospitality at it's best.

We were very impressed by the kindness of the staff. They were always willing to help e.g. carrying the luggage, booking taxis and offering instructions and in room service. The hotel was a calm oasis around the chaotic city. The food was of high quality and the room service offered traditional dishes that were well made and comparably affordable. In general, the hotel has has a character and it is not commercialized.

After coming back sick from the mountains, we were lovingly cared for by all the staff of Shambaling Hotel. You cannot wish for better care than here. Many thanks for all the good care, the attention and the great food. We are very grateful. We come back!
everything is great.

Fantastic escape at a stone throw of Bodnath stupa. wake up in the morning on the tones of Buddhist chanting from the nearby monastery.

In the midst of busy Kathmandu and Boudhanath Stupa, Shambaling was an oasis of calm and beauty, plus delicious food and courtyard. The staff were very helpful and kind, when many guests were struggling with cancelled flights during this world wide pandemic, Covid 19.

The friendliness of the staff and management. They try their best to make our stay very comfortable! The atmosphere and hospitality of the hotel. The aethestics of the place and Tibetan Buddhist feel of the entire hotel surroundings are what we fell in love with!!! The breakfast was excellent. Dinner was also very good. Very humanist touch and very Dharmic! This is very rare gem indeed!
The Internet wifi is not secure and it did not function for about 20 hours after it rained during our stay.
