Lemon Tree Wildlife Resort, Bandhavgarh

We had a pleasant stay at Lemon Tree in Bandhavgarh in the last week of March, 2025. The hotel is in a great location - close to Tala Gate – the main entry to the core area, which is very convenient for safaris. The property is located apparently almost in the midst of the jungle and approaching it at night may quite be scary for newcomers! But well assured – safety and security is no issue. The rooms are twin cottages separated by dense foliage. Strolling around within the property through the maze of paths, both early morning and at night, amidst the serene surroundings, was indeed a memorable experience. The property itself is well-maintained and pet-friendly. Rooms are spacious and clean, with a semi-open area for bathing pets! The staff were very courteous, attentive, and made sure that we were well taken care of throughout our visit. Our special thanks to Mr. Ram and Mr. Uday (of the dining/room-service team) who took special care, going out of the way to cater to our requirements. One negative point was the arrangement of the safari, where we feel, the hotel let us down. The safari organization definitely needs improvement and better co-ordination. The staff handling the safari bookings weren’t well-informed and lacked clarity about the park zones and procedures. This led to confusion and which dampened the overall experience, despite having paid for the safari one month in advance. Overall, it’s a good place to stay if you're visiting Bandhavgarh, but we would strongly suggest double-checking safari arrangements ahead of time to avoid last moment glitches.

Our experience at lemon tree was beyond expectation, the hospitality was unmatched . It literally felt home away from home, Mr. Anil, Mr. Karan and Mr. Ram deserve a special mention as they made sure we were comfortable through our our stay!
