八音倍達幫達夫格爾(Bundela Bandhavgarh by Octave)

Machan cottages have a viewing balcony on the first floor above the bedroom. Staff is very helpful.Restaurant is good.Swimming pool is clean. U can ask for picnic breakfast for morning safari. the ***ager Mr Anil Singh takes very good care of his guests.

Excellent stay overall....the staff and ***agement is very customer-friendly and provides excellent service. Special thanks to GM Shri Anil Singh and his team as well as Sunl Kewat in housekeeping and Rajabali in restaurant, who took special efforts to make our stay memorable. The resort provides one-stop service including safari bookings. Location is very close to the Core zone gates (Tala, Khitauli and Magadhi) which offer the best chances of tiger sightings. Thank you Mr Anil Singh and all staff of Bundela. SURI & SUNDARI

Very sweet, cooperative and helpful staff. Homely atmosphere and food served fresh and delicious. Chef ensure the flavours as per your choice. The property is huge and beautiful but the rooms needs renovation/maintenance and tents need to be redone at the earliest. Staff is very cooperative and supportive and try their best to ensure that your stay is comfortable. Mr. Anil Singh is very hard working and is always there to motivate, guide and support his staff and take care that all necessary is done to make the guest stay comfortable.

We, a group of 5 friends and family stayed here 5 nights. Sprawling property, far away from the crowd and the main road. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed the food very much thanks to the GM Mr Anil Singh and his team. He not only helped us in deciding the menu every day but also told the chef what spices to give / not give. Excellent customer care. The only issue was with the poor quality of the tents which needs immediate repair / refurbish.

Highlight : Service of entire staff with specific mention of Mr. Yadav and General ***ager Mr.Anil Singh. The service at the resort is exceptional. Proximity from safari gates: Tala- 5 mins, Magdhi/Khitauli - 10-15mins, Dhamokhar - 20 mins. All gates are very well reachable and we had no issues. Assistance for safari bookings: Resort can provide (if you contact them in advance). We had booked our safaris on our own. Food : Food quality is excellent. A-la-carte generally. When there are larger groups they put up a buffet counter. Prices are reasonable & food option is descent. We had booked the resort through Club Mahindra (this is a tie up resort) and I had 3 guests with me during this trip. Our focus was exclusively doing wildlife safaris. We did 9 safaris in total and had wonderful sightings. Strongly recommended for people who are looking for a stay option during their safaris. The resort ***agement understands requirements of safari enthusiasts very well. Small things like packed breakfast, blankets for safaris go a long way in making a safari comfortable. Bottomline: Highly recommended

We had booked two rooms 115-116 here through Club Mahindra and stayed three nights in February second week. The rooms are spacious with large comfortable beds and had an additional sofa-cum-bed. Rooms are well furnished with refrigerator, hot water kettle and even a microwave. The bathroom has its own hot water geyser which was essential with the freezing cold turn in the weather. There is a very nice sit out at the back to relax between safaris. The housekeeping was very prompt and responsive to all de***ds for a room heater, additional blanket etc. Bath and room linen was spotlessly clean. We had all our meals at the restaurant and enjoyed all of them, though the service got overwhelmed a couple of times. The property is very well laid out in a circle and well maintained. There is a good swimming pool which was shut because of the cold and the pandemic. Outstanding hospitality by Mr. Anil Singh, General ***ager, who would visit the restaurant at all meals to attend to any needs of the guests. Phone network was spotty but the wifi worked well. Would stay again.

Very good property so well ***aged by Anil Singh . He takes good personal care and attention towards guests. Hotel also helped in fixing our safaris. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. Staff is very prompt and well trained. Nice green areas and beautiful Mahua trees on ground

We were a group of 3 women. We booked as Club Mahindra members as it’s a Club Mahindra affiliate resort. This is a value for money 3 star resort with pool where one can have a comfortable stay. Order a la carte meals or even request for specially customised food (we did). Anil Ji runs the resort ably assisted by Abhishek Ji, both did a wonderful job providing us personalised warm hospitality. Bundela Resort is located in Tala close to all 3 core zones: Tala, Magdhi and Khitauli gates. We had mailed prior to arrival asking for adjacent rooms. Our check in was speedy and we were shown to our spacious well appointed rooms. The room has a double bed as well as a large pull out bed. Space to keep 3 suitcases and a balcony overlooking the garden. The window has netting to keep out insects, the room is well lit with good reading lights, microwave, kettle, AC etc What I loved: The service orientation of all the staff from room service to housekeeping and everyone in between. The freshly prepared breakfast they gave us every morning for safari, with a table cloth to put on our Gypsy bonnet. The hot water for bathing, whether at 5 am Pre safari or late night. Very important when it’s a cold. The choice to be Eco friendly and opt for RO drinking water instead of packaged. —- Note: no bar on the property. The resort is adjacent to Bandavpur Natuonal Park Buffer Zone and signs caution one not to wander outside without the security guards. This means mobile network coverage is negligible so hotel WIFi is our only way to connect with family/work back home.. WiFi could be spotty or power can go (they have back up power). Great for a family holiday or friend’s getaway. Recommended

Tucked away in the buffer zone barely a couple of km away from Tala Gate is the Bundela Resort by Octave. Well appointed rooms and ***icured garden were a surprising delight in the middle of a forest so far away from any major town. The most stand of feature of this resort is its hospitality. Smiling and warm staff with fast service made my stay very comfortable. A shout out to Abhishek Sharma and Anil Sing. Abhishek went out of his way to arrange my safaris 3 days in row at 3 different gates despite my not having booked these online in advance. I finally ***aged to see 5 tigers in one go (one Dotty and her 4 female cubs) on my last safari at Magadhi gate, thanks to extra ordinary efforts made by Abhishek. Being a solo traveler, no gypsy was willing to come and fetch me. Somnath, the night security in charge willingly offered to drop me at the main ticket counter on his bike on all 3 days at 6 in the morning and bring me back on my return. It is fully a functional well maintained and the best value for money property.
