This was one of the most memorable hotel stays I've ever had — not just because of the stunning room or the incredible terrace view, but because of the wonderful people we encountered there. ❤️ While we were staying at the hotel, we experienced a serious car accident the next morning. It was a tough time for us, and two individuals, especially Vishnu chetta (the man in the white shirt), supported us like brothers. They kept checking in on us — asking if we had eaten, if we wanted food, if they should order something, or if we needed anything else. At no point did we feel like mere guests or strangers. We truly felt cared for like family. They could have easily asked us to leave because of the situation, but when we requested a different room, they promptly helped us get one. Even though my friend’s room had blood stains from the accident, they never complained or made us uncomfortable. Their support was unwavering. What moved us most was that, understanding our situation, they didn’t charge us. They went beyond their duties and even assisted in moving our damaged car to Calicut for repairs. This photo captures the moment they helped us as we headed back to Bangalore. Despite everything, they ensured we were well taken care of and safely sent on our way. ❤️🙏 The room itself was excellent, especially the terrace and the view. But truly, it was their kindness and humanity that made this stay unforgettable. If I return here someday, this will be the only place I choose to stay. I will definitely recommend this hotel to all my friends and family. Thank you so much, Vishnu chetta, and also to the other chetta whose name I sadly forgot. ❤️🙏 You both will always be remembered for the kindness and support you gave us when we needed it most. You treated us not as customers, but as family. ❤️

Excellent value for the price. The rooms are comfortable and the location is easy to reach. Plenty of parking was available, and we enjoyed a wonderful stay at Bonita Banasura.

We chose Bonita Banasura based on positive reviews, but our stay was quite disappointing. We wanted to relax in a lake-view room and enjoy the hotel's food, but upon arrival in the afternoon, we were told the kitchen was closed because the chef was on leave and no one else was available to cook. This was not communicated beforehand. Since the location is remote with limited dining options, we had to drive out and spend a lot of time arranging meals, which disrupted our relaxing plans. We stayed in the premium lake-view room; the balcony view was the highlight and truly beautiful. However, the room did not justify the premium price: the mattress was average, there was no ceiling fan only an AC, and the TV was unusable due to non-working channels. The property felt old and poorly maintained, with basic amenities not meeting our expectations. It seemed more like a budget hotel than a well-kept premium place. While the location and lake view are great, the hospitality and overall experience were lacking. I recommend confirming the kitchen is open before booking, especially given the few nearby restaurants. Unfortunately, I would not stay here again based on our experience.
