"The property description on Expedia is incorrect. This tea house does not offer rooms with private bathrooms. Their nicest rooms offer an attached squat toilet with a bucket of water.
There is no sink and no shower in the “private bathroom.” The advertised “hot shower” is a communal hot shower next to the dining room. The western toilet and sinks are also communal.
The owners were unaware of our booking until calling back and forth with someone in Kathmandu. They’re nice people and the tea house is similar to others on the Gokyo Trek, but they should not be advertising it as a 3* hotel with private bathroom on Expedia."
"We booked because of the good reviews and the hot showers. We were not disappointed at all! Panorama is great with the genuinely friendly and helpful service of Mingna. Would book again in a heartbeat. "
"Stand out accommodation in Gokyo. The bright cheery entryway and dining room were a real treat after a long day of trekking. We got an attached bathroom and the room was spacious, tidy, and comfy/cozy. Food options plentiful and diverse and an espresso machine was a surprise bonus! The owner operator was friendly and kind. Loved our entire stay!"
"I stayed here for 4 weeks between 2 trips to Everest Base Camp. It was a perfect base for exploring the surrounding Khumbu region and Namche village. My hosts were friendly and went out of their way to make sure I was well fed, cared for and recovering from my adventures. The rooms were clean, the food great and atmosphere welcoming. I hope to return one day and stay there again."
