It was cold and there were no room heaters. Although the bed warmers were very comfortable.

Great location and really fun to hike your way up to the hostel. So glad to find a place away from all the noise of the city.

If you are coming in winters, you may find the heating arrangements to be inadequate - although this can be attributed to the fact that its a truly 'off grid' setup with only a small diesel genset for power .

The location was splendid ( although the hike through the forest is best suited for a younger crowded and not for kids). The food and services on offer were excellent, and the staff was very helpful!

Had an amazing experience staying here. Everything about this property is 10/10. The porter who helped carry our luggage is a humble guy (we’ll make sure to carry our bagpacks instead of suitcases next time I’m here). Staff is welcoming and smiling. They gave pretty awesome suggestions to do things around, they helped us make our experience even better. Dogs Ceaser and Gabaar took my heart away! And the property in itself is breathtaking. It is so quiet, you can only hear birds chirping around the mountains. The way property is designed is commendable! Every cottage has privacy even from sitting outside. Hats off to Anirudhha and team! I will definitely come back here.

There was no such thing

Property is well maintained and staff welcomes you with a smile. It feels like a resort when you enter zostel's property. If you are planning staycation in nainital then this property is for you.

Everything is top notch. There’s absolutely nothing to complain.

The property is very peaceful.

The 1km hike to the property is slightly difficult but manageable. Did not put a damper on the stay.

The property, hospitality, views were all amazing!

The ruckus created within dorm could have been been noted by manager. The manager to keep a stern eye on maintaining the decorum of the dorm for those who are travelling solo.

The breakfast and service were exemplary. The location is serene and a quiet stroll amidst the scenic flora and fauna of the forest reserve. The roperty is well maintained.

Too expensive

They should clearly state that they don’t accept check-ins after five due to the accessibility issues. This cannot be clear enough

Great location, beautiful surroundings and good facilities.

A beautiful place in the middle of forest . You need to go take a taxi or personal vehicle from nainital to Tanki band , there you will get the porter from hostel to receive you , now park your vehicle , & take route through forest to the hostel, it takes arpund 15 minutes to reach the location, not a easy trek , but not very difficult , avoid taking senior members of family , you need to come back to hostel before the sunset , bcz it may not be very safe to roam in jungle in dark . Overall an amazing stay , away from the ruckus of the main city , yet close . The food was also nice.( little bit on costlier side ) but in the middle of forest in mountains, the location it is justifiable.
