Bentes Lodge

leaving genuine feedback. please read it till the end :)we had a great and wonderful stay in bentes. I had never experienced such an amazing place before, it's on the mountain, one of their staff came down to pick us near a taxi stand and took us to the lodge.Accommodation - The room and bathroom were neat and clean. The Interior was so nicely done, you get a mesmerizing mountain view from the room. The place was so calm and peaceful, it feels like living on a mountain, a completely different experience, away from the city life. We spent the good leisure time in Bentes.Hospitality- people here are so respectful and helpful. they provided us with the best service I could say. they provided us the room heater and hot water in buckets as the weather was too cold that the water was frozen in the above tank. otherwise, they have every facility if visiting in summers. Power backup is there so do not worry. the lobby is a must place to sit and gossip. they also provided us hot water bags to keep in the night to keep inside the blankets so you won't feel the cold.Food- we included our breakfast and dinner with accommodation that was the best decision. delicious and fresh food was served here with loads of love. The quantity of food was adequate, you get an option for veg and nonveg and they will cook you ghar jesa fresh khana :). I'm gonna miss bentes people so much. will be coming soon ❤

i had booked this place based on reviews , but what i got there was totally different , horrible ...1. the location mentioned is not correct , its not behind heaven hotel rather it is situated 5 -6 km away from city on hill top at some forest land .2. the location is such that there is no road to reach there only temporary muddy road (kachha road) which is totally dangerous for vehicles to reach there and it become even more dangerous after rain (rain is common here).3. no taxi ready to go there , and we cant walk every time 4-5 km from hill to taxi stand ( which is 5 km away approx)4. The food is worst - options are limited- same 4-5 items served to everyone irrespective of menu .5. its location is good ( indeed without road ) clean premise , good staff .better look some other place which is near to Pahalgaon rather then going on hill top with lots of risk ..no good food / location without road/ not walkable every-time down 4-5 km /

Bentes stay is an adventure in itself. jamshed is the driver, caretaker, cook, manager, a on eman show. he's ever smiling and happy to help. Bentes is situated atop a mountain in the forest hence the road is very narrow an donation is nearly 2.5 km from the main market. due to this no local cars are willing to drop or pick up from the lodge. we called up jamshed during our check in and he picked us up within 15 minutes from that day onwards he dropped and picked us up for our two nights stay. he has this pickup truck where you can even stand in the back and enjoy the ride. the food was good and they prepared food on demand too. the room were spacious and there was hot running water in the day. heating in the room was a bit less but they provide hot water bottles so it was not a problem. the local houses around the property invited us to their homes too. over all a very good experience. definitely recommended.

Beautiful location with lovely view from the room, very courteous and friendly staffs. Initially, there was a mess-up with the room allocation but they sorted it out. The best thing about the lodge is the location, it's pretty far from the main town and market area, away from the crowd and noise. Best for those who love trekking, you can trek up/down to the stream spot next to Hotel Heaven, it's a 20-30 mins trek. There are lot of spots/areas to roam around, can see kids playing and horses grazing there. Food: Limited options, but simple and tasty food. Note: The road to the lodge is not concrete and local cabs may not agree to drop you there, however the lodge have their own vehicle for pickup and drop. Not recommended for old travelers or those who are not physically fit. View from the Room, Location and near by spots to trek and go for evening walks.
