The location is beautiful, peaceful, and set right in the midst of nature. The highlight of our stay was the guided nature walk with Chethan. He was more informative and engaging than any of the safari guides we met. His deep knowledge of the local flora and fauna, his patience in answering all our questions, and the way he made the walk come alive were exceptional. He is an absolute superstar and a real asset to the property.

There is nothing significant to note. Everything met or exceeded our expectations.

Amazing location, spacious room and really great vibes. There is a single restaurant in the resort which is justifiably expensive, but very well worth every penny. Be it the breakfast or any item from the menu, it was well prepared, and generously portioned. Most such resorts do a very subpar job when it comes to food offerings inside the resort, but not this place. Paired with the location and ambiance of the place, the good food made our stay all the more worth it.

The pool could use better upkeep

Breakfast was excellent and the food was really tasty. There were both standard Indian fare and the Karnataka ethnic cuisine on offer and we really enjoyed every meal at the facility

The Log Hut was maintained really well but due to the nature of the construction of the Log Hut, we had squirrels coming into the room. This caused a bit of disturbance to us. However, we understand the efforts that the staff put into the maintenance of the room and the helpful nature. They responded immediately whenever a squirrel was discovered in the room and humanely removed the animal, releasing it to the outside environment.

Wow. Liked everything. An excellent base for safaris in Mudumalai and Bandipur. All staff so polite and professional. Exceptional place. Our log hut was huge and what a lovely view from our sit out balcony. Food was excellent and still dreaming of my cucumber cooler cocktail! The pool was beautiful - great colour of tiles! Also loved our nature walk. I've fallen in love with the birds of India! Huge thanks to all the team

Amazing hotel with all you can ask for - beautiful scenery, attentive staff and beautifully decorated. The food was very nice and the safari option is a great plan to spend your day.

Booking through booking.com didn’t work so well - they reject the card as booking certificate and then ask you for a direct payment before you arrive. It feels a bit outdated and I would have preferred to pay on arrival or through a secure link.

The rooms are super clean and well maintained. Staff are extremely courteous and always greet all their customers with a smile. The hospitality was top notch and it made our stay even more comfortable. Kudos to the entire staff and management at The Serai Bandipur for being such an amazing host. Will definitely recommend others and would visit again too!!

Stay & ambience … so peaceful stay

Very expensive for food … breakfast is free … what about lunch & dinner … veg Briyani is 450 Rs ( approx ) chicken Briyani 600 Rs … be careful with food . As it is too expensive… it’s not worth to pay that expensive for food . Food is also not that great , I can say it’s average… there is say , something is better than nothing … that doesn’t mean , you can charge what ever you want . If anyone wants bills which I paid , let me know , I can send it. In terms of food , I say , it’s a wrong choice to stay in this resort . Nothing is fresh , it’s all frozen. Please don’t try fish & mutton . It’s worst . Chicken atleast it’s good to eat & most important, then don’t have choice in the menu also. So, foodies stay away … I guarantee you guys , you definitely think of me !!! Lol .

The overall property is so strategically located and so well maintained. Excellent bed room and everything else in it. Sit out was just so amazing listening to the chirping of birds and interesting nature sounds. Excellent food at the restaurant and staff are so well behaved. Naturalist is a great value, makes the nature walk and the safari so much more interesting. The Greenery in the property is so amazing, feels so good to be in the lap of nature amidst so much luxury 🥰

Bathroom - atleast the ones that we were assigned. Faucets were so old and clunky, loose, with lot of hard water stains. Wash basin tap was coming off, both hand and overhead showers were not working properly. Lack of shower curtain makes the whole bathroom messy and slippery. Pool cleanliness can be improved, lot of mud/ dust. Dressing area light wasn't working. Had to get it fixed. Wifi was not at all working, that I missed a work call and even the dongle provided was just 2mbps and very sloppy.

Staff were amazing. The rooms were beautiful and the cleanest ones we had on our trip. Spotless. Great facilities at the hotel too. Pool, bar and restaurants were great. food was fantastic and with a great choice.

2 out of the 5 of us ended up with a bad stomach and considering that we hadnt left the resort, it must have been from something we ate there.

This was my first stay with Serai properties and I was very happy with my overall experience. The property is amidst the Bandipur Forest reserve and is cosily tucked away beautifully. Surrounded by the view of the Nilgiris and the deep forests, it makes a wonderful choice for any kind of travellers who are looking towards a short vacation for relaxing your mind & body as well us punch in some adventure. Great food, great staff make it a great experience. The food, swimming pool are good additions to the resort. Lastly, a wonderful Spa experience at their in-house spa "OMA"
