(Note: Bamboo Retreat and is located in Rumtek not Gangtok as address above might imply) Since other reviews have fully discussed the rooms and other amenities and the numerous photos give sufficient information, we thought we’d shed some light on the food here at Bamboo Resort. Our reservation included both breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was made up of the usual... More

Each of the rooms in this retreat is based on a theme which is carried to the last detail. The caretakers are warm, sweet, sincere, enthusiastic and generous.... More

We had a great time in Rumtek / Gangtok. The hotel is very well designed and the rooms were nice with the balcony facing mountains greenery all around, well furnished and clean. The food, service and behaviour of staff is excellent. This is the place you are at heaven of north east india.

This is a lovely retreat across the valley from Gangtok. This small hotel was built according to the principles of Feng Shui, between two streams and facing the mountains. Unfortunately, there is no view of the Kachengunga from the hotel, but nonetheless, the views are lovely. The food and service are excellent. I particularly enjoyed the mint tea, with fresh... More

A small cosy place in the heart of Gangtok. Most conveniences are within walking distances. The best part about the stay is that the hotel and its staff, right from the housekeeping to the Owner, treat you as their family member and no request is answered with a 'NO'. It may not have the typical glitz and razzmattaz of a... More
