Reviews of Jungle Hut

A warm welcome was most endearing on our arrival. The location for the views of the hills and the abundance of birdlife was excellent. A bird safari with Rajesh is highly recommended. We had 70 different bird species in our two days stay. Food was very enjoyable ***** with the very friendly staff. Room was clean but a bit tired in places. Bed was comfortable . The pool was a delight to cool down.

If you want a peaceful retreat in harmony with nature, then Jungle Hut is the perfect place to go and relax. no TV in rooms, sounds of nature all around you. Amazing food.. Friendly staff.. Clean, eco friendly and cosy living quarters Value for money Waking up to the sounds of birds and deer happily roaming around.. Being right in the middle of the jungle is a beautiful experience. I will surely come back for more days.

Jungle hut is a peaceful property located at the edge of the Nilgiris hills. It was a memorable holiday spent with my partner and our child. We all appreciate wildlife and there was plenty of bird life to see on our trip. The food on the property was good and we felt well taken care of.

Our family, consisting of seven members, spent two days and two nights at Jungle Hut; decidedly, it was one of the best holiday times we spent. The property nestles in the foothills of the Nilgiris, which stand imposingly almost within hand's reach. A large number of deer can be seen on the property --- living in perfect harmony with its inhabitants. Occasionally, wild boar flit across open spaces in small groups. At night, animal noises keep reminding you continually that you are in nature's lap. And to get hot water 24X7 in the middle of a jungle........total bliss! The food is fabulous. Without being ostentatious, rich, oily and overspiced, it is delicious and homely. Three chefs work around the clock to ensure that every guest's needs are met to her satisfaction. A chance remark during dinner on our first day was overheard by one of the staff and lo and behold! the next day we had our favourite dish --- customised to our taste --- served on our table. A Nature Walk with Rajesh was a great expereince --- educative and entertaining. But the crowning glory is the wonderful, dedicated staff who apply themselves industriously to look after the guests caringly, lovingly, and diligently. Tracy, Aniket and Gibran are names of persons we interacted with and enjoyed the healthy vibes from. We have decided we are going back again when practicable!

One of our best holidays! This place truly exceeded expectations. The drive was very pleasant through bandipur and mudhumalai forest. We were greeted by amazing views of the hills covered in mist as we entered the property. Spacious, very clean, and well equipped rooms and bathrooms offering an excellent view of the jungle beyond. We had spotted deer, wild boars, langurs and other wildlife near our room for company. It was a true jungle experience! The bird life here is simply amazing, we couldn't keep a count of the variety we spotted here, it is a nature lover's and a bird watcher's delight. The food is simple, local and very tasty with ample options to choose from, you wont be disappointed. I strongly recommend trying their in house pickles and jams, they are really good. The staff are terrific, very helpful and always smiling. A shout out to Neha, Shruthi and Aniketh for the smooth reservation process, they were very accommodating. Thank you! Jungle Hut ticks all the boxes, will definitely go back!

Excellent place to stay with beautiful ambience and great food and pure air with animals around and guests friendly staff and management team. Highly professional. Five star

We booked our stay at Jungle Hut based on three independent glowing recommendations from family and friends. Now, reflecting back on our own excellent 4-day experience there, we would happily add our strong recommendation too for JH! The scenic verdant setting in the shadow of the mountains, the comfortable rooms with all the amenities, the superlative food (special kudos to the chef and the kitchen staff), a wonderful pool to soak in between nature walks and other adventures are a few of the many excellent features offered by JH. However, what really stands out is the thoughtful care and attention extended by Tracey, Gibran and every member of the staff toward any additional needs of each guest, in our case, toward those of our young child. We sincerely hope that our future travels will take us to our next memorable stay at JH!

We stayed at Jungle Hut for 2 nights with my family. We had an amazing experience with the team right from the beginning when I enquired about the property. We were travelling with a six month old baby and hence had a lot of questions, and Shruthi was very patient in clarifying all our concerns. The stay was amazing - the rooms were clean and spacious, all the meals were delicious with a good variety catering to the needs of all age groups. We went on a short stream walk around the property. Cannot recommend this place enough.

This is a perfect place to stay when visiting Mudhamalai or Bandipur Tiger reserves. The staff were incredibly helpful from the first contact, arranging transport for us and providing special diet meals for me. The premium room was very large and well appointed. The grounds are delightful with spotted deer and wild boar wandering freely but be aware the langur and macaque monkeys visit so kept your door shut. We went on the bird watching walk with Rajesh who can identify all S Indian avian species at a glance. He is a mine of information and a great wildlife spotter from the Jeep on safari. We saw Tiger and sloth bear in Bandipur and elephants, gaur and sambur deer in both parks. Sitting around the pool is so peaceful after a morning walk to the hill temple, the food was fantastic and I can’t recommend Jungle Hut or the team highly enough. Definitely a 11/10 stay for us.

A slice of peace and quiet in the heart of a game reserve. The managers are excellent, very professional and friendly and you feel immediately upon arrival that you’re in safe hands. They walk around supervising the staff and making sure everything is as it should be - a rare yet invaluable quality in hotel managers nowadays. Beautiful views over the mountains. The perfect place to relax and forget about the hectic pace of life outside. Food quality is superb and we ate some of the best food we’ve eaten in our three months touring around India. Clean, well appointed rooms with a decent sized bathroom and comfortable beds.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Jungle Hut. We spent 3 nights and celebrated my husband’s 60th birthday there. The staff are very friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. The cottages were very comfortable. We had the added luxury of enjoying massages in our room. There is a very comfortable lounge where one can just hang out. The ambience is perfect to plan a big family or friend’s reunion. We will be back!

Right from the pickup to drop off to the station every minute was amazing and perfect. The ambience, staff, food, comfort., location all made the trip more worthwhile. Value for money.Have no words to describe the exhilarating experience. For sure I'm going back again this time for a longer stay🤩

Fantastic rustic stay but will all modern amenities. The staff are outstanding - interacted with Gibran, Tracey to name a few and they were all very helpful. Did the PM road safari and were lucky to see a good amount of animals in their natural environment. Also did the morning walk with Rajesh to the temple on the hill.

Some of the coined descriptions of the Jungle Hut Resort by our family that visited Jungle Hut were: "Heaven on Earth", "Friendly and Enjoyable", "Simply Superb", "Amazingly Beautiful", "Luxurious Serenity", and "Just Perfect"!!!!!! The staff at Jungle Hut, then, consisted of Aniket (Manager), Tracy, Nikhil, Biswajeet Pal (Chef) - all under the able leadership of the owners (Vikram and his wife, Anushree). Apologies for leaving out the names of several other support staff. During our last visit (I think we have made a total of 3 or 4 visits to date and one more scheduled for January2025), we were greeted (soon after check in) by a herd of deers, freely roaming around just outside our cottage! What a beautiful sight. And, the chirping of "Red whispered Bulbuls" - so many of them, living free in nature - just outside! Lunch selections were wide and very tasty! I'd give it a 15 out of 10. (Yes, 15 out of 10!) "Afternoon Tea" consisted of a selection: tea, coffee, "filter coffee", hot milk, etc. And, of course, "sweet and slightly salty" cookies to go with it. It was an excellent experience - just absolutely great! The food, both South Indian and North Indian dishes, the service, the choice, etc. were out of this world!!  Night was very quiet! Peaceful - exceptional rest at night! Woke up to birds chirping - beautiful way to wake up (instead of an alarm clock!). We did hear sounds of bamboo breaking at night, from the forest nearby. Following mornings, we were to learn that elephants are frequent visitors to this place. Peaceful coexistence? You bet!! We got to see a "lone tusker" one late evening, minding his business, chomping on the bamboo shoots!!!! Morning filter coffee or tea, your choice! Sweet and slightly salted homemade cookies on the side!! Wow! Life is to be enjoyed this way! Total relaxation!! One morning, my brother's glasses needed repair - the staff came to the rescue. They were so attentive that they arranged to send it to an optician to have it fixed! That is service, over and beyond! Our driver accompanied us to the resort, and he was treated very well. He was talking about the great food and the accommodations. Specifically, he said that this was the best that he had ever experienced. For this class act, I am very grateful. I'm glad that he was treated no different than us. Thank you, Jungle Hut owners and staff! You folks are great! A belated review, I agree, after so many visits! They say that the proof of the pudding is in the eating! So, .... we have reservations to visit Jungle Hut again - 3 couples this time - during January-February 2025. We are looking forward to it, to enjoy the customer-focussed service that the staff specializes in! The courtesy, the hospitality, the service, the environment, the scenery, the food, ........Can't wait!! Sorry for this choppy write-up; I just didn't want to delay posting this review any further!!!!!!
