Machli A Wilderness Home

Absolutely do NOT book this property as it might not even be functioning as a hotel anymore. This is undoubtedly the worst hotel experience that we have ever had and the only time that we have actually left and found another hotel. The photos and descriptions online are truly deceptive and as far from the reality as we have ever experienced in our many years of travelling all over, so do NOT believe any of it! The property is fairly remote, reached only by rough gravel roads with seriously challenging holes. Once we arrived, the young *** there appeared bewildered to see us and entirely unprepared to receive us despite our booking having been made months ago; communication was virtually impossible as he did not speak a word of another language. We were supposed to have a full board stay but that too seemed to baffle him as the restaurant area looked like it had not been used in a rather long while and aside from the 2 small bottles of water in our room, we felt that we would be stranded in the middle of nowhere without access to drinks/food.The overall vibe was of a severely neglected and abandoned property that had not seen guests in a rather long while. Once in the room, it just went even further downhill as it was pretty disgusting: all sorts of dirty, peeling wall paint, dirt splashed on walls, holes in the walls and a toilet that besides very dirty did not work and sort of fell apart. After complaining to another person that had appeared and understood a few words of English, we were shown to another room where the improvements were rather minor to put it mildly. To top it all, the cost for all this was almost the same as a mid-to high end hotel! So, for the first time in our travelling lives, we left! Furthermore, this hotel claims to be fully booked for the next several months but there was literally nobody there, so that is a totally puzzling and dubious detail.

It’s a comfortable homestay stay in a rural setting - closer to glamping than a resort vacation. Lots of issues with the property & rooms itself. Given that they charge hotel rates for a homestay with limited facilities , I did not find them worth the price. The location is difficult to access - the last 1km there is no real road, it’s a path cut into the fields, expect your car to break down unless you have a sturdy SUV. The site itself is good, the landscaping & pool are nice. So is the breeze through the fields early in the morning. Its quiet and away from the hustle & noise of the city. Rooms are not well maintained, especially the bathrooms - both plumbing & cleaning issues exist. The rooms are simply furnished like you'd find in a good home , rather than a hotel. No security chain , No fridge, no wardrobes , no electronic safe, but wellmade comfortable furniture. Rustic & restful rooms if the AC works - The AC did not work during our 2 night stay and repeated requests for fixing it, had no results. Imagine 40 degree temp with no working AC in Rajasthan!! The Staff were very helpful, friendly & responsive. The food was great, definitely have the khichdi and raita - it’s a pleasant surprise. It’s a good place to come in winters for a weekend with your family & friends for some bonding time. Nothing much to do except chill.

Its a beautiful and peaceful place, perfect for a break from city life. The cottages are cozy, clean, and well-designed, giving a great rustic vibe with all modern comforts. The food is delicious, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The property is surrounded by nature, making it perfect for relaxing or exploring. If you love a mix of comfort and wilderness, this place is a must-visit!

Beautiful hotel with great food and kind staff. The rooms are large and comfortable and the pool is a lovely place to chill out. The gardens and hotel are well kept and the location isn’t far from the national park for the safari. We loved our stay, thank you!
