The problem is the room service is poor. The house telephone was not working and it took more than an hour to even get drinking water in the room. ##### Sanjay Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Rajesh Oct 3, 2022 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Poor House keeping If you want an isolated location and a forest experience then this place is good, however you will have to ignore a lot of things like the quality of food, The Housekeeping and the manners of staff. The Bed sheets were very dirty with food stains and other stains..and when you asked them to change they bring other bed sheet with similar stains. Food is just ok...while they force you to have buffet, as room dining does not include main course you can only order limited items like sandwich. The Internet is charged very heavily as nothing works in that region. When you tell owner about housekeeping he says the customers go out and stain the bed sheets..nice attitude. If you book through a third party website like hotels.com then they will not honor any additional commitment given by that website like free upgrade, Guaranteed late checkout etc.. ##### Rajesh Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gautam Jan 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities . ##### Gautam Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kushan Dec 30, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Must Visit Amazing property at a very beautiful location.

The property itself is remarkable but the staff need to be better trained. I have booked 3 different cottages. The room was damp due to rain. ##### Chanida Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveler Aug 22, 2018 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### FOOD TOO EXPENSIVE. NO ENTERTAINMENT Average Stay. Food Too Expensive. TV not installed in any room. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveler Jul 11, 2018 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Room: They downgraded my room without informing me nor did they reimburse me for the difference.My room had a king bed but without an actual king size mattress. They used two smaller mattress that ran a gap in the middle which was very uncomfortable. Also, linen quality was bad. Towels had threads hanging from the sides Food: was awful - was served cold, lacked salt, tasteless. Since there was no other restaurant in the vicinity we were stuck with it. Service: Staff members were very rude and the service was terrible. The hotel claims to provide some services but they are at an additional charge. WiFi is at an additional charge!!!! What hotel that charges $300 USD a night charges extra for a slow 2GB data limit wifi. Parking: No proper parking spaces. All in all I had a terrible experience staying at the Machan. For the prices they charge they are in the business of ripping you off for sure. Definitely not worth the price I paid. They should probably clarify their tagline "AT THE MACHAN WE’RE NOT JUST SELLING YOU A ROOM … WE’RE IN THE BUSINESS OF CURATING EXPERIENCES THAT LAST A LIFETIME" .... AWFUL EXPERIENCES I.E...... ##### Verified traveler Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### prince Jul 5, 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### It's a nice hotel but only for couple not family .

Beautiful views from deck. Very quite except for bird chirping sounds. Food was awesome. Cost is steep particularly when you have to pay for dinners. ##### Srinivas Stayed 1 night in Nov 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stacey Nov 23, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxed among the tree tops My stay at The Machan was fantastic! We decided we wanted a jungle Machan once we arrived and the manager was happy to accommodate since he had one available. Everyone was kind and helpful and the food was some of the best I had during my two weeks in India. Our room was gorgeous! It was kept very clean and the outdoor shower and bathtub was such a treat! We loved being able to to watch the changing colors of the sky from sunrise and sunset from our bed above the tree tops. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to find a little piece and quiet away from busy streets of India’s cities. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1497-p71866250-d046-11e7-b6cb-1eb89250cf09-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Stacey Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lakshmi Feb 9, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best place ever.

Do not expect any perks. The place is good way to get unplugged. But like any place in India that haven't nailed customer service down. They convinced us to book a particular room over the phone and then didn't give us the room we wanted (canopy with bath tub on deck, room with lot of jungle green view). They just generally recommend canopy rooms for couples so made us do the same without listening to our requirements. Eco friendly places in India don't recycle or sort trash. So I'm not sure how eco friendly are they. Again I would go for a day since it's different but don't go with much expectations. ##### Verified traveler Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Romyl Sep 9, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A peaceful lovely place to just chill.
