The property is very well maintained and spotlessly clean. There are good common areas and a restaurant. The breakfast is included and is really tasty. The bedroom is well organised and the mattress is comfortable. Overall it has very good standards and is perfect for solo travelers. But the best part for me was the staff. They were so kind and warm and were always ready to help whenever I needed. I felt really welcomed here and I would stay again for sure. Thank you for making my stay special.

A Magical Lakeside Stay at Joeys by the Lakeside, Bhimtal! We were two couples staying for two days at Joeys by the Lakeside, and I can confidently say this is one of the most memorable stays I’ve ever had in Bhimtal. First, the location - absolutely unbeatable. You will not find a clearer or more refreshing view of Bhimtal Lake from any other property. The hotel literally sits by the lakeside, and being just close to the main Bhimtal market, it’s extremely convenient. Most popular tourist spots are within 14–15 km, making it a perfect base to explore the area. But what truly stole my heart was the morning experience. Waking up, stepping onto the terrace, and being welcomed by a panoramic view of the lake with cool, gentle wind brushing your face, it’s a feeling that words can’t fully capture. Pure bliss. Pure peace. A moment you want to pause and soak in forever. The property itself is ideal for nature lovers like me who crave serenity and calmness. The rooms are clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. Everything you need is taken care of. And then comes the people - The hosts are exceptional. Super friendly, genuinely supportive, and always available with a smile. Room service is unbelievably quick, and the food is delicious! I have to mention this — their dal makhani and paneer dishes are outstanding. I honestly became a fan. Both managers are wonderful human beings — calm, polite, warm, and radiating positivity. Their hospitality adds an extra layer of comfort to the entire stay. Overall, Joeys by the Lakeside is not just a stay — it’s an experience. A perfect blend of breathtaking views, peaceful ambiance, heartfelt hospitality, and finger-licking good food. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bhimtal. I’d return here without a second thought! ❤️✨

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
