    Food could have been a bit spicier but that's just us. Be aware that the journey from here to park entry is approximately an hour.

    Lovely relaxed setting with friendly knowledgeable professional staff. Did all of the organisation for the safaris. Island bar was a good place to enjoy a g&t afterwards. Good selection of drinks available. Buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. Mud built cottages were spacious, cool and comfortably furnished.

    Nothing to dislike. Some more cleanliness near the backwaters would be nice.

    Excellent food variety. Room size is great. Service is above excellence. We spent new years here. A nice calm sustainable eco resort overall. Loved the politeness of the staff and the calm surroundings. Spa was good too. We loved our stay overall. Do try the Coracle ride.

    Could have solved for the pet food better. We had to ask the hotel a couple of times for the food and they took time to prepare. Room service is slightly slow. Need to follow up.

    Breakfast was very nice. Nice variety of foods in the offering. The food for pets needs some work though. But the hotel was kind enough to help make whatever was needed. The rooms were clean. It was very pleasant and extremely pet friendly. We have a 5 year old GSD. And she was able to roam completely off leash. Very friendly staff.

    Please- never again offer filtered (non botteled) water to western people. Although I asked several times, I was told I can drink it. Afterwards I was stomach sick for 1.5 weeks. The idea to avoid plastic is super, but not for that result.

    Plastic avoidance.

    1. Had to drive 22-23 kilometers in our car to Kabini Jungle Lodge to do the safari as none of the resorts other than the Jungle Lodge has permission to venture into the forest. 2.The bar in the resort had a very inappropriate board that said something like” Husband Care Centre. Women can leave their husbands there and go shopping and all they need to do later is pay the bill at the bar. “ It was very presumptuous of them to think of women as non- drinkers and all they do is shopping without the husband. I mentioned the same to the front desk people but I have a feeling that they didn’t understand why the board was offensive.

    1.The food was decent. 2. The bar was good. 3. The room smelled great because of the lemongrass essential oil used in mopping.

    it’s not a luxury property as claimed - the rooms are dated, there are spider-webs everywhere and for some reason not cleaned up. They have kept ash-trays everywhere and because of that you can spot people smoking just about everywhere.

    Always smiling and hospitable staff, decent variety and quality in food.

    Definitely not a 3 star stay. There were no activities that we could do because everything had some issue. The cycles the cruise nothing was maintained. We just used the boat ride. The restaurant staff was pathetic. They firstly did not answer our call for room service after 30mins we tried calling on the mobile number provided to us. Finally ended up walking to the restaurant just for a dessert. Again they asked us to try calling from room then it worked. The restaurant head was very rude and no hospitality atall. Then came our dessert finally. The food in the name of briyani was very bad. Overall bad experience. Would not recommend this place for the price they charged 37k 2nights

    The property was good. Esply the backwaters. The food was good to some extent. The bar was good

    No Activities( they only have a bar,swiming pool,SPA) , No Elephants or wildlife as shown in pictures,No lake view rooms, Jacuzzi are not the proper one.

    Ambience, feeling of Farm house , Good food . Good hospitality, very few big good rooms. If planning to stay without any activities it’s good but saying that, I didn’t find Worthy , it’s expensive as they charge around 15-20k ! Nothing much to do in and around the property, We took Fire stick with us, Hence had spent time watching movies ! Carry Swim suit of your own or else you need to rent , saying full board, you don’t have a menu, It’s 3 times buffet only!

    The bathroom is not attached with the room, very inconvenient. The jetty to board the speed boat moves with the tide. When it is up, one can inadvertently get hurt on the head . It happened to me, I got cut on my head by the roof edge. One warning and protective padding can be helpful. Food choice was average. Expected more fish varieties.

    Very nice location, very friendly staff.
