Tree of Life Grand Oak Manor Binsar

Located in the middle of nowhere this place is a hidden gem. The location, views, sunrise and sunset views, hiking trails everything is breathtaking! The staff is super courteous and efficient. We felt so well looked after. Highly recommend this place, must visit.

The staff of the villa is very good. Mahendra Sammal ji served us very nice food which I liked very much. The food and service of the villa is very good. I would like to come to the villa again. Just like all the places in Binsar are worth visiting and the vegetable food here is also good, you all also come to the place and take advantage of the good places in Binsar

Words fall short of a nightmare experience we had with this hotel. This hotel is located in the middle of the sanctuary with extremely poor connectivity. The road to the hotel can’t even be called a road, it is so horrible. On the day of my check in, my repeated calls to the hotel were of no use as There is no signal, so neither the internet nor the calling works to reach the hotel. and they did not have the courtesy to call and check up on the arriving guests to make sure we reach safe as the roads have extremely poor connectivity. They hardly can be called a road, very unsafe and inaccessible for normal cars to drive on such steep and off road path. On finally reaching the simba café, When we tried calling the staff no one picked up, and neither were we able to find a single person in and around the café to guide us reach the hotel. On reaching up the hill to the hotel, we kept on shouting on the top of our lungs for 10 mins if even a single person is in the hotel. It seemed to be absolutely empty, as there was not a single guest car. The staff was not there in the entire property. No call had been answered by the property, we had no one to connect to/reach out as the hotel has zero network. Finally deciding to leave the property, we spot a *** who claims to be the staff of simba café. On telling him the complete incident, he himself is not able to reach the property. There is no walkie talkie for the people to communicate. There are no sign boards, there is no mention of the pickup drop facility. Having charged such a substantial amount for 1 night, we had zero pre checkin service considering how in accessible the hotel is for any person. These guys are absolutely not bothered. The horrible and appalling experience I had is difficult to put into words but what feels the worst is their pathetic attitude. I demand my refund back in full.

Very nice location on top of hill with full green trees around. Nice property to stay with very good food and service of staff was very good. Nice clean room and bathrooms. Real worth to stay. And enjoy

I was stay there for 2 days with family. Property is good, neat and clean room. View from property is excellent. Concern is the road condition which is very poor intact last 1 kms was pathetic. Also there is no arrangement for driver stay, there is only cafe there for driver and it is very expensive.

Excellent location in the middle of forest and greens. Awesome food and very courteous staff. We loved the stay.

Great stay in between the jungle. Staff was polite. Food was great. I think they should give offer which include dinner at the time of booking only as there is no other option to have food. If you want a quiet stay then go for it.

Tree Of Life Grand Oak Manor, located in a unique forest reserve, offers a serene and peaceful escape. The food and hospitality were excellent. However, the owner and manager seemed very money-minded. As bikers with pillion riders, we faced challenging roads and requested a drop-off at the forest reserve entrance. They quickly demanded Rs 2500 plus taxes, knowing we had no other options. This felt exploitative, given the circumstances. The approach road is unsuitable for any vehicle, and the forest reserve road is equally bad. While the location is beautiful, the accessibility issues and the management's attitude were significant drawbacks.

I wish I had read the review from July 2019 and not booked into this hotel. The point about arrogance of owners is absolutely spot on. It was the worst experience I ever had on a vacation. I started calling them since morning to inform about our arrival but no one picked the number provided for booking. In fact couple of times they cut my phone but never called back. The hotel is in a jungle with a broken uphill pavement being called an approach road. It is impossible to drive up for even Innova crysta. In the rain it became even worse. Since there was not way to contact them, I started walking towards the hotel in pouring rain and biting cold even as my family waited down in the car. Eventually I reached after 30min, only to find the main gate closed and no staff to be seen! No one responded to my knocks on the gate, so I had to go around the hotel and knock on windows of various guest rooms until someone eventually saw my plight and came down to let us in. The rooms were very average, water scanty and food grossly overpriced. For all the trouble we faced due to their negligence, I have not had a word of apology from either their staff or the owners. There are plenty of beautiful places in Uttarakhand with much cheaper hotels providing better service. Skip this one
