The Bunker Hostel - Dharamkot

Terrible Experience – Not Worth the Money I had a very disappointing stay at this hotel. The rooms were in terrible condition – dirty, poorly maintained, and absolutely not worth the price. The furniture was old, the bathroom was unhygienic, and basic amenities were missing. On top of that, the staff was extremely rude and unhelpful. They seemed uninterested in resolving any issues and treated guests with zero courtesy. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Stay away!

This was my first experience of living the hostel life and it truly was an unforgettable one cause a trip that was planned for 7 days got extended to 11 days all because of the people at Bunker. ||Spoke to Ashish before arriving at bunker to know about places to visit & shoot and I was sent the itinerary within minutes of the call ending. From airport to bunker we were in constant touch with Nihad who helped us with the transport and made sure we were safe. Within a short hour of arriving at Bunker we were living the #bunkerlife by hiking to sunset cafe. They made us feel like their own. Being an aspiring Youtuber they made sure I had lots to cover & literally went leaps and bounds to get me my content. We were a dorm of 4 girls and we felt so safe particularly on the Christmas Eve when we had 4 men creating ruckus at the premises. They were loud (playing song when there is an artist singing) & wouldn’t respect people & had a little too much to drink. Bunker management didn’t entertain this and those 4 men were sent packing at that very moment. ||Special mentions : Sanjeev & kitchen staff for the best food & hot chocolate ||Isha & akshay- for making us feel like friends & less like guests ||Jai- for making sure we did those treks & Hikes & making sure we all had the best time & lived every moment of #bunkerlife ||||When you stay at Bunker you experience Upper Dharamkot like it’s your own neighborhood and that’s something I truly feel that’s unique & something to definitely experience. Cause this is what differentiates a Traveller from tourist & hotels from hostels.

This hostel will always have a special place in my heart because of the many good memories I carry from my stay with them. The facility is well maintained and clean at all times. The food there is amazing no matter if it is breakfast or dinner, everything is delicious. But to me what made this place so special were the hosts and the many interesting travellers that I met while being there. Worth to mention that during Diwali celebration they prepared a huge meal and many different typical sweets that they do for the occasion, and shared their special day and traditions with all of us that were staying that night at the hostel and made us feel like being part of the family. Many thanks for that! Hugs from this cuban girl !! 🇨🇺

It's very amazing place to stay with group of friends. Owners of this place are very supportive and helpful. We checked in early still owner gave us the place to stay. Food here is awesome compared to other local restaurants. Comfortable and clean rooms and huge hall with painting and books makes you feel very positive. I look forward to visit again this place and create one more the bunker story

What with 2020 being low key i decided to take a break. On a whim I picked Mcleodganj and online search introduced me to The Bunker. It suited my needs so I decided to give it a try. I would say excellent choice - easy access to all conceivable interest points, super clean, pocket friendly. The USP is the amazing staff - helpful, efficient and unobtrusive. I would definitely recommend. Beautiful rooms and nice view.

Bunker's is one of the places that I want to return to. Its placed in the beautiful surrounding of Dharmakot village, a walk of 2kms from where the auto or cab would drop you, very near to Zostel. The rooms are extremely well maintained. I was in one of the dorms, during my vacation. The food at Nomad's Cafe (right on top of Bunker's) was amazing. I bet there is no other combo in chilly weather and hot chocolate. The view of Bunker's was mesmerizing, still afresh.

We enjoyed a special dinner as a family while on a skiing trip. My husband really wanted to try paua and it was not on as many menus in NZ as expected. The scallops were amazing. Small but beautiful meals and different choices to normal like ostrich.

Feels like a better home! As friendly as it gets, you'll feel totally at ease with the lovely staff, the other travellers and the two dogs 😁 From the top of the hill you have amazing views on the valley. You will be served tasty homemade recipes. Book a spot and don't forget to bring your creative soul for check-in: you'll find other artists and musicians to jam with and share inspiration. Must go!
