Dear Sonajoju, Thank you for your feedback. Much as we would have liked you to have an enjoyable and memorable stay with us, we did realize during your course of stay that you may have not have been guided about our resort. Banasura is not a business class hotel and hence many of the facilities you’d expect to find in... More

It was our sixth wedding anniversary and it there was only one agenda, spending quiet time amidst nature. The location of Banasura hill resort is picturesque, no second thoughts. Though the last 100 meters up to the resort on the mud road was a bit of struggle for my swift, it was soon forgotten after looking at the beautiful property.... More

We had been to banasura in 2010 December. It was a cherished stay, we loved the mud walls, the earthy feel & the hospitable staff. I would recommend this resort to everyone as a must visit. The tea gardens, the plantations, the banasura dam are a must visit too.

Very relaxing place....With nothing to do and simply laze around!!!! Right from the ground staff to manager all of the staff members were friendly and helpful. Food was excellent,delicious and homely. View and location was beautiful. A must visit place. Though only hitch is that all the tourist points are very far off with not much availability of transportation..

BHR is in a beautiful area surrounded by distant hills and is accessible by a road which is quite rickety as it gets to the top. None of the rooms have hill view, but I am not sure this matters given that most time would, I hope, be spent outside. Having stayed in Waynard previously, we decided to try BHR... More

We are independent travellers in our late 60’s. We stayed for five nights in mid February. A great base for walking - nearby waterfalls; a mini tea plantation, one of Tipu Sultans hidden caves; local village life and lengthier hill climbs.
