The Hosteller Bhandardara

The location of The Hosteller, Bhandardara is absolutely beautiful — nestled in nature with serene surroundings, it's the perfect place to relax and unwind. The staff is courteous, friendly, and genuinely helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. However, the property does fall short when it comes to utility and infrastructure. For a place that hosts around 100 guests, having just one toaster during breakfast creates long queues and delays, which affects the overall experience. Another area that needs improvement is the choice of dining ware — serving hot meals in paper plates that bend or collapse makes it quite inconvenient to carry or eat food comfortably. Switching to sturdy, reusable plates (like stainless steel or good-quality melamine) would make a big difference in guest comfort and environmental impact. Additionally, a few more functional upgrades — like adding a couple of tea/coffee counters, providing proper hand-washing stations near the dining area — would really elevate the overall stay. With a bit more attention to these practical aspects, this place has great potential to become a top getaway destination in Bhandardara.

The accommodations fell significantly short of expectations, especially considering the cost of the deluxe rooms. Issues included damaged furniture, water damage from rainwater intrusion, and a lack of basic amenities such as drinking glasses. Staff refused to provide glasses unless a beverage was purchased from the restaurant, a practice we found unacceptable. The food quality was extremely poor, with limited options and no nearby alternatives. Coffee and hot chocolate were tasteless, and observed customer behavior indicated widespread dissatisfaction with the meal offerings. Breakfast was minimal, consisting of only two or three unappetizing dishes. Room service was unavailable. Recreational facilities were limited to a pool table and foosball, resulting in a generally unengaging experience. Furthermore, access to the property is restricted by a narrow, poorly maintained road, suitable only for SUVs. In summary, our stay was wholly unsatisfactory, and we deeply regret our booking.

Like every property of hosteller, this one is also amazing. Huge property, located near lack, surrounded by greenery. Rooms are well planned and maintained. We stayed in deluxe hut and it was a best choice. Cafeteria has it's vibe. View from Cafeteria is too good.

The property being on top is the hill! Loved the location. Well upon arrival we were accompanied by Vijay, followed by Sayyed, Santosh, Preetam, Sumit and Rahul. All the keepers of the property are so warm I am unable to express my gratitude towards them. Great experience and epic time
