Location excellent view point comfortable stay tasty food. 6. 5 km inside binsar wildlife sanctuary. Quite and cosy stay option rooms are big and with all the facilities. Only problem 1. Road conditions to reach bad - 2x2 drive might cause some issues 2. You need to go outside for hot water

A quiet, serene, within nature reserve with superb views of nanda devi from its rooftop, makes it a worthwhile stay for atleast 2 days. Nearby treks and nature walk are a great add-on

This place is perfectly located at the base of the best birding trails and with a brilliant view of the valley below. The simba cafe location is ideal for colder days also as you get sun inside and on the grant terrace. There is an old shiva temple just across the approach road. Rooms also have undisputed view of the valley. Overall the place is strategically located, very clean and great value for money.

It is a jungle Lodge with great caretaker And staff. Food is excellent though limited options considering that you are in a jungle. Right opposite is an ancient Shiva temple. A trail from right next to the Cafe leads to zero point. Recommend this hotel highly to people going for a jungle experience or digital detox.

C lean rooms, great views, good food.

Rated 4.0 by Pritam Baruah . Family Traveller . Jun 19, 2023

We were very happy with the clean rooms. The cafe upstairs is tastefully done and you could spend hours there after ling hikes. There are several hikes from points adjoining the cafe. There is an open field/meadow like clearing across the road that attracts birds. They have driver rooms for drivers of guests who stay at the nearby upmarket resorts. It makes for interesting conversations if you wish. The food was very good as we had special requests for our children. It was beyond our expectations. The place has all necessary amenities, including wifi in a remote place. Thank you to kishore and everyone else who run the place.

A peaceful hideaway

Rated 4.0 by Gobinda G Khan . Couple Traveller . Jun 08, 2022

Great location, peaceful stay, magnificent view, excellent foods inside the binsar wild life sanctuary. Explore the local trails and enjoy bird watching folloing the trail to zero point. I enjoyed a lot, for from the madding crowd.

Hotel lacks electrical points in room. Staff behavior good. Location was excellent. Recommended.

So so experience at Simba Cafe

Rated 4.0 by Satarupa Chakraborty . Family Traveller . Oct 09, 2019

Ambiance is good. Its in the middle of the forest. No intercom, geyser or electrical points available for mobile charging. Thrilling if you are forest lover. But for family with kid I faced difficulties.

Average Stay

We liked the place but it would be great if they provide running hot water and assured electricity. The merits of the facility go up if the staff is hospitable and forthcoming. This was lacking there

Solitude seeker's haven

Rated 3.0 by Gaurav Pawar . Solo Traveller . Apr 13, 2021

It's nestled in the midst of a really picturesque forest. There's a lush ground in front of it. And a millennia old Binsar mahadev temple. The staff was really cordial and professional. I liked most of the things about the place, however, there are a few things I didn't, which are: 1. There's no charging point in the rooms. 2. The hotel campus isn't as beautiful as it looks in the pictures. Probably, they were clicked in some other season when it really is beautiful. 3. I don't think the food and the stay fall under the 'value for money bracket. Otherwise, the place is good and you should definitely visit if you have no problems with the issues I had.

Supreme location

Expensive food, good staff, no heaters in extreme conditions, no electricity

Pictures are not true

Rated 1.0 by Rasleen Kaur . Couple Traveller . Sep 09, 2021

The view is amazing but that is where the goodness about the property ends. Everything else is substandard. Rooms are filled with bugs, beds are low quality. The room feels like you are in a 1-star hotel with no facility for hot water. They will fill a bucket of hot water (which is not hot) and give for bathing. No toothpaste available (forget about the dental kit). We paid for a room which was worth one-seventh the price. One of the staff members was polite, courteous, and helpful but that didn’t compensate for the lack of facilities. The manager was not of great help. His standard response to everything was “no”. Overall a bummer of an experience. Liked the view though. But other hotels nearby might be better (we didn’t check but heard they were fully packed).
