My brother's AC conked off and it took some time to respond to it. But overall a great place just like Serai KAbini river. We were lucky to see a tiger on the safari. ##### Gagandeep Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Benjamin 31 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A beautiful resort located just four hours from Bangalore, The Serai left us thoroughly impressed with its stunning gardens and remarkable architecture, showcasing a perfect blend of stone and wood. Our courtyard room offered a spectacular view of the Nilgiris from its deck, adding to the serene ambiance. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, with special mentions to Rateesh, Navas, and Arun for their outstanding service. For those seeking a quick, quiet, and serene getaway, The Serai is an ideal choice. While the resort offers a variety of activities, we found that the jungle safari didn't quite measure up to others we have experienced around the world. However, the overall experience at The Serai more than made up for it. Thank you folks at The Serai, for making it a memorable 2 night stay for us! ##### Benjamin Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Plavika 12 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Enjoyed our stay ##### Plavika Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alekhya 26 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Well maintained ##### Alekhya Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Johannes 25 Nov 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very bad accommodation. ##### Johannes Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 19 Aug 2023 Disliked: Staff & service #### Terrible service The service is bad and the staff are extremely rude. Information provided is incorrect and attitude is unacceptable. Especially the front office reception. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ashish 5 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service We stayed at the Log hut for 1 night on 31st May. The room was pretty run down and the bathroom had a strange smell throughout our stay. We mainly stayed in Bandipur for the safaris and the 2 safaris we went on, we saw only elephants. No movement of tigers unfortunately. Ofcourse it’s all luck. The bf spread was ok. I would’ve typically given the room 2 stars but gave 1 extra star for the service provided. The staff were prompt if we asked anything. Service at restaurant was also really good. ##### Ashish Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Manoj 20 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Get lost It is easy to get lost here (literally and figuratively) as you're in middle of the great wilderness with pretty poor cellular connectivity, hence always better to carry a book. (A loaded iPad if you don't read.) The above two applies only if you don't walk and explore the forest you choose to be in. Great place for families coz kids have more than enough area to run around and explore. Spacious rooms (and bathrooms) mean they can continue running around indoor as well. Pros: Location. This is quite a dichotomy coz there's actually nothing to do in or around the property other than to immerse in the forest. Cons: If you are like me, you would have wished for the restaurant rates to be a bit more tame. Or for a Zomato/Swiggy delivery. ##### Manoj Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shobhit 5 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is amazing. The cottages are huge and beautiful. Staff is very polite and helpful. Food is great. Sometime you can see some deers from your balcony. Very big property. I would definitely recommend this property. ##### Shobhit Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Madhava 4 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was 2days stay with the Kid , staff are very friendly and resort is well maintained. Front Office : Office Manager Nixon was very helpful . Since we were the only booking other than a large group that has booked rest of resort , he arranged for safari in an open jeep safari just for us. Restaurant: Staff Madesh and NagShetty were very accommodative with the kid , provided us with the items that were not on the menu but asked by the kid. ##### Madhava Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### KIRTI 16 Jan 2022 Like: Great infinity pool. Dislike: they begrudged me packing up (taking home) an empty (small) glass cookie jar which I had refilled with almonds for my 9yr old to eat on the 5 hour drive back home - they stopped me post checkout & confiscated said amenity - beyond petty when considered in context of the 2 courtyard rooms costing rs.18-24k each I had booked 🙄 ##### KIRTI Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ujwal 28 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### . Lovely property. Allthough a bit inconvienient if you want to do the safari given the location, the main safari point is about 45 mins drive up and back all the way with not very good roads ##### Ujwal Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 18 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very serene and relaxing .

View over the reserve is amazing ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 11 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Our overall experience at The Serai, Bandipur was excellent. The staff there deserve special mention, they are extremely hospitable and friendly. The spa (Oma spa) also was great. The only reason for rating 4/5 stars was because we had mixed experiences at the restaurant and bar. The food and drinks were really good sometimes and at other times they were bad. It was either a hit or a miss. If consistency can be maintained here then there is no reason to not deserve a 5-star rating. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Vila Nova De Cacela](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vila-Nova-De-Cacela-Hotels.d6157714.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Oxenholme Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxenholme-Station-Hotels.d6042105.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Amanvana Spa Resort - Coorg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kushalnagar-Hotels-Amanvana-Spa-Resort-Coorg.h5615769.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lindos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lindos-Hotels.d6052018.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Nayland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Nayland-Hotel.h193579.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Larache](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Larache-Hotels.d3000000809.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Windmill Hill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windmill-Hill-Hotels.d602336.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Swaswara- Cgh Earth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kumta-Hotels-Swaswara-Cgh-Earth.h17232153.Hotel-Information) > > [hiltonhotels Hotels in Llandudno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Hilton-Hotels.0-0-d5621--bHiltonHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Sidmouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Sidmouth-Hotels.s50-0-d182643.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [3 Bedroom Apartment With City View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-3-Bedroom-Apartment-With-City-View.h32108450.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Magna Science Adventure Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Magna-Science-Adventure-Centre-Hotels.0-l6088115-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Opera 35 Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Turin-Hotels-Opera-35.h44291346.Hotel-Information) > > [Coorg Cliffs Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Virajpet-Hotels-Coorg-Cliffs-Resort.h27561278.Hotel-Information) > > [Condo Rentals Grand Cayman](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grand-Cayman-Condos.d602874-aaCondos.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Georgian House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Georgian-House-Hotel.h888723.Hotel-Information) > > [The Serai Kabini](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heggadadevankote-Hotels-The-Serai-Kabini.h1522099.Hotel-Information) > > [YotelAIR London Gatwick ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Yotel-Air-London-Gatwick.h18969729.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Rovato](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovato-Hotels.d6193054.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Timbertales Luxury Resort Coorg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Somvarpet-Hotels-Timbertales-Luxury-Resort-Coorg.h111834762.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Bristol (BRS) to Ingenio (LPA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/brs/lpa/bristol-to-las-palmas) > > [Flights from Bolshoye Savino (PEE) to Hounslow (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/pee/lhr/perm-to-london) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Cathedral of St. Mary of La Seu Vella](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cathedral-Of-St-Mary-Of-La-Seu-Vella-Lleida.d6122544.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals ---
