worst ever place, not good transport, very poor sabby smelling rooms, no bottled water available, towel not provided - it was just provided when I was about to check out. No balcony and very far from the main attractive areas. Would never recommend it to anyone.

Not perfect but good enough.
yung h.solo
Pros: Cabin is cute and comfy. beautiful sceneries. very relax and calm. perfect place to chill and unwind. Nimesh and Shyam have been really helpful, friendly, and pleasant to chat with. Cons: Lots of harmless insect, I got woke up with black ants crawling on my face. I'm used to this, if you don't like insects, avoid this place. Power fluctuations during my stay. cafe food took more than an hour to prepare my dinner, perhaps due to the crowd and understaff. food wise is decent and nothing spectacular.

The property is beautifully situated surrounded by the lake and picturesque mountains. Accommodation is top notch, you can choose from a variety of options for stay. I recommend Hut for its comfort. Food is also great but only veg. Service from the staff was also great.

nikhil d.family
We had a wonderful stay at The Hosteller. The property offers awesome views and a relaxing vibe. The rooms were clean, neat, and well-maintained, which made our stay very comfortable. The place also has good food options, and we thoroughly enjoyed the meals. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant and memorable stay. One thing to note since this property is in protected zone we have get a permit at the entrance of area. Last 500 meters of road is not that good.

maitri t.group
PROS- This is our second visit to Hosteller based on our previous experience and it stuns us with it's breathtaking location, delicious vegetarian food and it's amazing helpful staff and safest place for travellers. CONS - We stayed in 4 bed mixed dormitory and we observed it wasn't that clean. There were endless spider webs and accumulated dust near and above the bed, some cigarette packets under the bed used by previous traveller. While the amenities are decent undoubtedly, a neat and clean place to sleep is all that one can expect.

Poor Stay
omkar m.
It take too much time for process and checkin room
Room: Superior Double Hut
The Hosteller Bhandardara has replied on Wed Sep 24 10:32:22 IST 2025
Hello Omkar, We’re regret to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, we’d like to clarify that a web check-in link was sent to you prior to arrival to help ensure a smooth and quick check-in process. In cases where this is not completed beforehand, some delay may occur at the property. Additionally, early check-in is always subject to availability, which is clearly communicated at the time of booking. Considering these factors, we believe positioning this review as negative is not entirely justified, as our team followed the standard procedures and assisted within the policies in place. We always welcome genuine feedback to help us improve, and we regret that this has been your impression of our services. Thanks Team TH

Serene and perfect hotel to stay for absolute tranquility
raju s.couple
Location of the hotel was awesome amidst a peninsula. Very quiet, serene and close to the nature. Staff were very polite and the food was very good. We were there for 3 days and 2 nights. On all the days food was very good, just perfect for our palatte. Since there were no restaurants nearby we had to totally depend on hotel food it was too good.

Hi Traveller, first off we really appreciate you taking some time out to review us so soon after staying at The Hosteller! We regret to learn that certain aspects of your experience did not align with your expectations. In your email, you indicated that there was water dripping from the ceiling. However, upon inspection, our team found no such issue in the room. We also assessed the water quality, room linen, and mattress, and did not identify any problems as described in your complaint. Our team offered you the option of a room change, which you declined. Additionally, you expressed concerns about the remote location of the hostel and the inconvenience caused by the persistent rain. Please be informed that the location is clearly stated in our listing, and weather conditions are beyond our control. The suggestion made by our staff to consider another hotel was simply to provide you with alternative options if you wished to extend your stay in Bhandardara. -Team TH.

Poor Stay
priyanka m.couple
To start with, the check-in process of this place is very frustrating. There is network issue at the reception and the person at the reception is comfortably rude. So please do your check-in beforehand. Upon reaching the room we were greeted by a big huge LIZARD which was resting between the towels provided by the property. Upon asked to change our room, the guy at the reception said we don’t have anything available at the moment, so one option is we can re-clean the room or you can take the refund and be on your way back. . . The blankets have black covers. . . The good part: the property location is 1000/10. It is absolutely amazing!! It is fairly clean 8/10 some items on the menu are really good 8/10. The property provides many indoor games options. For breakfast buffet, don’t expect a full fledged spread. They 2-3 options and you have to order from that only.

Hello Priyanka, we appreciate you taking the time out to leave a review about your recent experience with us at the Hosteller.

Please be assured that we offer offline check-in options to accommodate the unique challenges of our remote location.
