Starling River Resort Dandeli

There is no wifi available at the property and network is bad so you don't get any network inside room for emergency you need to go out and use phone, room were smelling of fungus, food was average and crowd travelling here are mostly in groups and they do drink alcohol all around the property, not good crowd. Location is awesome just beside kali river and you get to see crocodiles across the shore very serene place.

Top-notch food with great flavor 🤤, outstanding service, an amazing experience, and affordable prices 👍

A great experience, definitely worth visiting at least once.

The experience was quite bad. The beds lacked comfort, the sports gear was in bad shape, and a strong urine odor was present all over the hotel. The food quality was low, and the staff did not respond well or offer assistance. I would advise against staying at this hotel.

My stay at this resort was quite disappointing. The room was poorly maintained, and the air conditioner didn't work well, which made it uncomfortable. There was a strong smell of urine in the hallway, creating an unpleasant atmosphere. The recreational facilities were also in bad shape; the pool was not properly cared for, and the carrom board, badminton gear, and other games were broken or unusable. Overall, the property did not live up to the expectations set by the photos or description. I hope the management addresses the cleanliness, upkeep, and guest experience before hosting future guests.
