The location, vibes and views of The Hosteller, Bhandardara are truly awesome. They offer a variety of comfortable stays along with delicious food . It’s a backpackers’ haven , a relaxing getaway for families and a rejuvenating experience for seniors. The 280 degree view of the surrounding lake , mountains and greenery is mind blowing. The staff is very courteous and cooperative. Our special thanks to Siddhesh who is in charge of the various adventure activities. If not for him , our Bhandardara trip would have been incomplete.

Unforgettable stay! A perfect family getaway for the firefly festival. ​We had an absolutely amazing stay at The Hosteller, Bhandardhara. The views were breathtaking, and the food was delicious, but what truly made our trip memorable was the incredible hospitality. ​We visited specifically to catch a glimpse of the fireflies. A massive shoutout to Siddhesh, who was the sweetest person and the most wonderful guide. He took us deep into the forest and ensured we got to experience the magic of the fireflies. ​The hospitality didn't stop there. The host at the food counter was super polite and genuinely kind. Furthermore, we had booked a premium cottage for our parents and standard huts for ourselves since cottages were full. However, at check-in, the reception manager incredibly upgraded us to a premium cottage at no additional cost! ​Everything about this place was superb. Thank you to the entire team for making our family trip so incredibly special and memorable. We will definitely be back!

Had a wonderful stay at The Hosteller, Bhandardara! The property is located in a truly serene setting on a hilltop, surrounded by the lake on three sides, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. It's the perfect place to unwind and connect with nature. One of the highlights of our trip was the fireflies sighting experience organized by the staff. They didn't just take us to the location—they shared in-depth knowledge about the fireflies, their habitat, behavior, and the ecological significance of the phenomenon. We were also given ample time to explore and enjoy the magical sighting at our own pace, making it a truly memorable experience. The staff were exceptionally courteous, friendly, and always willing to help. What stood out the most was their kindness when our car broke down during the trip. Several staff members immediately came forward to assist us, which was incredibly reassuring and showed their genuine care for guests. The food was another highlight of our stay—freshly prepared, delicious, and served with warmth. Every meal felt homely and satisfying. Overall, a memorable experience with stunning surroundings, great hospitality, and excellent food. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in Bhandardara!
