This property is a gem tucked away in a stunning location with breathtaking views of Arthur Lake from multiple angles. Guests rave about the spacious layout and clean rooms, complimenting the attentive staff and warm hospitality. Activities like trekking, star gazing, and various games enhance the experience. Food options are primarily vegetarian, appealing to many, but could be expanded. While the access road needs some work, the picturesque surroundings make it worthwhile for nature lovers and explorers.

Good Stay
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.

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
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
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.

Average Stay
i have booked a superior cottage and superior hut. Pros : 1) Awesome environment, atmosphere. 2) Best service provided from the cafe and cooperative staff. Cons : 1) Room Maintenance required, and cleaning must be improved. 2) Drinking water quality was not good as TDS level was quite low.
