Our experience at Fishtail Lodge is as second to none. The setting on the Fewa Lake was a tranquil oasis and a much needed change of pace. I don’t think I have ever stayed at a more ideal location , close to town…restaurants and shopping but the most relaxing local surrounded by water and forest. Staff could not be more helpful with any request big or small. Highest praise for this hotel!

Loved this place! Our favorite location in Pokhara. A beautiful oasis with flower gardens, pool, fitness center, kayaking, amazing food, great service, right by the lake in the forest where you can watch the sun set while having a drink and smoking shisha. There is a quick 5-minute boat ride, which transfers you to the city in case of excursions, but I barely wanted to leave this beautiful peaceful location.

overall the location is amazing but the small sauna & steam room next to the pool is CHARGED for guests to use, however theres no sign or price list on the door or the sauna indicating that, we used it for like 20 mins, and were charged 3000NPR per person. nobody informed us its not free for guests to use, that was a very disappointing incident, its not about the money rather than we would like to be informed that its additionally fee involved, for the sauna and steam room is very very dated anyways. dont know why they do that.

we stayed one night there with friends, and weather was but we decided to hit the pool after a long day spent at the airport (KTM delays). then went to use the sauna which is a small room next to the pool in the corner, staff opened the door and prepared it for us, but ONLY AFTER we used it for like 15 mins, he started to write us a bill, I think it was 3000 for steam & sauna per person! but there was no price or any indication that service is charged extra for guests. what a shame. they really should be upfront and honest about it.

Amazing place and location.. Unique aspect is the location in the middle of the lake which requires the raft for access (available 24X7).. great food spread, delicious yet slightly expensive.. dining overlooking the lake is a great experience.. Had a hookah and drinks at the pool which was great too..
Will definitely revisit once Pokhara has a new International Airport..

Fish tail is in a gorgeous location. On clear days can see all the Annapurna range. Rooms are charming. Food delicious. Massage fantastic. We were able to hire a retired employee as a bird guide for a day and had a wonderful time seeing the only endemic in Nepal. Would be a great honeymoon spot. Oh, yes, the President if Bangladesh and his entourage came for lunch one day!

I had a great respite stay at Fishtail. I had been in modest Airbnb's and wanted to pamper myself for a couple of days. So I went to Fishtail. As soon as you cross the lake on the raft and walk up the garden path to reception, you leave your cares behind. There is a great, well-card for pool, a wonderful spa and best of all wonderful gardens. The rooms have international channels to enjoy and you have your own terrace with chairs and beautiful landscaping. The food was average but the waitstaff were excellent at the restaurant and actually throughout the facility. It was a great stay!

spacious, standalone motel like room on the ground floor (not multistorey building)

I think this hotel would be good for a family or maybe a couple looking for a romantic getaway. For a solo traveler, new to the area, it wasn't so convenient to go to town, as you have to ride the adorable raft/ferry over and then get dropped at the parking lot across the way...where all the tourist busses are parked and a few taxis. The bed was comfy and the a/c worked, which was great, since it was extremely hot and humid the few days I was there. The hotel has a genenrator, so if the power went, it was back on within a minute or two. The staff was sweet, though the man who helped me with my luggage on the way out, decided to comment on my weight, ASK my weight, after he asked me about my stay and I told him I went paragliding. He was shocked that they took me since he thought I was too heavy. Ummmmm wow! It, unfortunately, kind of soured the experience. I'm going to chalk it up to a cultural thing, but still think it was wildly inappropriate. Nwxt time I come to Pokhara, I will stay at a hotel closer in.

I stayed at FTL on a friend's suggestion. The arrival by boat sets the mood for a relaxed stay. Staff are attentive and there is a tranquil feel about the place. The on-site dining is standard for such a place (& quite adequate) but there are cheaper and more interesting options if you catch the boat back over and wander down the street. Watch your in-room internet use - better to use the free connection in the eating area.

Amazing location to see the mountains. Unfortunately the weather was not as clear as we hoped, but we thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful and well maintained hotel grounds.

Fabulous and very beautiful setting. An excellent base for exploring the area. If I have a criticism, some of the menu was badly over-spiced to the point of being inedible. Portions are a bit too generous in places, as well. However, overall, what a stunning place and lovely, helpful staff.

All feedback about it doesn't represent the reality ... it look quite good compared to other options in pokhara but it is quite far from center of gathering places

It's good for the scenery and quiet environmeng but everything else was expensive. Breakfast is not included and the free wifi is only for 1 account per room

Good hotel, really friendly staff, but I don't think it's worth $150/night. I am sure they have great view on clear days, but we weren't that lucky. I guess it's a nice place if you are going to hang out at the hotel, but if you just need a place to sleep I would nor recommend it.
Room is nice and clean, but I would say the highest justifiable price is $50.

Fishtail Lodge is the perfect location for a trip to Pokara. The view from the frony of the hotel is breathtaking. The hotel provides kayaks so you can take a trip across the lake which is a great way to spend an afternoon. Rooms are nice hotel grounds are lovely. Only negative point is breakfast is expensive ( not included) and there is not free wifi in the bedrooms. Apart from this, it really is a lovely peaceful place to stay.

Check in took more than half an our as they had confusion on type of room I booked through Expedia. Eventually room was allotted and was taken to room only to find room is not ready. Hence House Keeping Staff was called to prepare the room which again took almost half hour till the time we were made to wait outside the room.
In case you look for Smiling and Happy Faces, certainly FishTail Lodge is not the place to stay, staff never smiles and aren't warm.
Untrained waiters in Restaurant is something you have to live with. They will not assist you in ordering food, will keep food basket in your plate, wont serve food in your plates. You will keep looking for them for service and reordering, so please don't mind your food getting cold while you look for waiters. Food taste isn't great but very expensive. Dinning here may be perfect recipe for spoiling your dinner or lunch. Better option can be... take a stroll and you will find plenty of places who serve better food and at 1/4th of price.
And at last, please carry your own umbrella, don't expect hotel staff to offer umbrella if it rains rather have trust on your feet and run.
Don't expect evening/ turn around service. Room dining plates wont get cleared after waiting for half an hour so putting them out of room may be better idea. Bellboy will not show up at check out time.
At the time of booking never thought will have this kind of experience for bomb kind of money (compared to most of the places in Pokhara) I spent.

We stayed at the palm tree side and saw a big spider inside the room. We called the front desk and they sent someone to take care of it immediately. We requested to change to the cottage room which we found it more comfortable and they were able to change the booking for us - probably because it wasn't peak season during our stay there. Overall we are very satisfied with the stay and the spa there was awesome too!

This is the second time we visit Fish Tail lodge and we hope to come back again. This is a truly charming hotel with the rooms set in a beautifully maintained garden. The swimming pool area is very much enjoyable too and the restaurant is excellent. The service makes you feel at home.

Very helpful service, good restaurant, fantastic setting, unbeatable views. You can almost forget -- but not quite -- that you are in the third world.

The hotel locates in a great place that we enjoyed both views of lake and snow mountains. Service is barely alright. However, the hardware condition is so poor that far below the price. The towel and bed set is not clean and little bit humid actually. Bathroom is very small.......
