Bandhav Vilas

Stayed here as part of a tour, found everything was clean and well maintained. Food was good with usual selections but it was the atmosphere and peace which made me feel relaxed. Rooms in chalet were large with the option of an indoor bathroom or an outside shower. Would recommend the Bandha Vilas

We booked a night stay at bandhav villas on 30th seep to 1st oct you will feel closest to nature and will have mesmerising memories. The staff and entire team deserves applause for their committment for personalised services to guests. Food quality is too good and you must book all meals plan. Overall a 10/10 experience!

We just returned from a 13 day tiger safari in India and this is one of the places we stayed. It was lovely. The only complaint is that it was outdated. Our room was spacious and well appointed. The safari was awesome. The dining room was like a British lodge and the grounds were beautiful. We loved it,

What a wonderful place , I loved this place so much. The staff were so friendly, the food including the safari breakfast was always really good and my room was amazing. I so loved the outdoor shower attached to my bathroom in an enclosed courtyard. The sitting area looking onto a mini jungle was such a relaxing refuge after exciting game drives. I had two massages during my stay, they were really good and so calming after bumpy jeep rides. Could easily stay here for a lot longer. My only issue was the gaps around the doors in bedroom, it would be good if rubber seals could plug the gaps as my first night I had a lot of bugs on my bed. I know it’s only to be expected in this environment but after that first night and a lot of spraying mozzie fluid it didn’t happen again.

We stayed during our tour of tiger reserves and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, Rooms are large and well appointed, indoor and outdoor showers, a sitting area with large window onto gardens, and lots of wildlife. Tea served in the afternoon was perfect after a safari drive, with attentive staff, and excellent service throughout. As others have said food is mainly vegetarian - as you’d expect - but very tasty and options were plenty. Safari breakfasts were super, I’d recommend the Indian option! Breakfast in the restaurant was fabulous, you won’t leave hungry! Our driver guide for our safaris was Balu, and his knowledge and skill was incredible. His hard work rewarded us with 3 sightings over 4 drives, including an incredibly special one on one encounter with a beautiful tiger, Dotty’s daughter. An unforgettable stay in a lovely property with super service. We will return next time we visit Bandhavgarh! Thank you so much to all!

We loved our stay here, the rooms were large, there was a huge bathroom and a brilliant outside shower, (better than the inside one) The rooms had a fridge, TV, 2 seating areas, a front veranda and another on round the back. Bedding and towels were clean, the beds had protectors on. Plenty of drinking water provided, tea and coffee restocked daily. Meals were good with a lovely selection. French fruit and salads available daily. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. A lot of guests on our tour used the beauty salon on our rest day here. With positive feedback. I would give this lodge 4* not the 3.5* that is awarded.
