This resort is located in the park and so anticipate basic accommodation. The resort is older but the rooms were decent and have their own bathroom with a cold shower and flush toilets ( a luxury in Nepal!). The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable about the animals and plants. The true super stars at the resort are the elephants... More

Stayed here for 2 nights as part of a 2 week family trip to Nepal with our 10 and 12 year old. Very well organised activities (guided walks, boat rides, elephant safaris, elephant bathing) in the heart of the jungle. Staggered by the negative comments for this place. If you are wanting a 5 star spa resort go somewhere else!... More

Decent accommodation in the Jungle. Clean rooms with very hot showers, and "western" toilets + toilet paper (real luxury in Nepal!).

Reviews on tripadvisor raised some doubts as to whether I should stay here. Just came back from a three day trip to this resort and it was fantastic! People writing negative reviews probably expect a five star resort in the middle of a jungle, which it is not. However, if you take into account that you are staying in the... More

I have stayed at the Island Jungle resort many times, first visit in 2004 last one this year, it is my place of choice when in this area. Being on it's own island, affords a wonderful isolation that surely people seek when heading for a Chitwan destination. The wildlife is prolific and sightings include, rhinos, monkeys, Sloth Bear, Deer, many... More

Being in the heart of the jungle the resort promises a great stay. Unfortunately it fails on so many fronts. I would certainly not stay here again or recommend anyone to. We were promised a pick up from the airport but no-one was there when we arrived. Eventually a driver and car arrived, delivered us to a main collection point... More

We enjoyed our stay. The location is interesting and great scenery. The rooms are very basic and not particularly clean. The food was truly abysmal - this wasn't helped when the slide presenter on our first night told us that they find snakes in and around the kitchen - attracted by the rats. The guides were very good. Our trips... More

Excellent hotel with excellent guides to take care of you - the food too simple but tasty and fresh. The Thani cultural show organised was enjoyable and the the tours well organized and fun. The cottages were lovely.

this place is somewhat hard to get to as it is located on an island deep inside the jungle.. you'll need to take a jeep, then a boat, and finally walk some more to get to IJR the staff was superb, the lodges comfortable enough and clean, the food good enough, hot water available, and most importantly the tour/jungle guides...
