Rosie was very helpful and the room was beautiful. A real treat having a private balcony overlooking the water too.

Rosie's flat is gorgeous - decorated with beautiful, ethnic Rajasthani antiques and well equipped with all the amenities and comfort to make anyone's stay luxurious. There is a beautiful view from the bedroom window and the deck upstairs is the perfect place to spend the day, overlooking the lake whilst sipping on a cocktail. Rosie was there for us within a few minutes to help us with anything we needed during our stay and left us with excellent tips for exploring Udaipur. We had a perfect stay here and look forward to the next opportunity to come back!

Rosie was very involved and interactive with us during our stay. Much more so than other airbnb owners we have experienced in the past. She was very helpful upon our arrival and connected us with the local Travel Agency specialist Aditya who was also very attentive to or needs. The Lakeside retreat is very well appointed with many local antiques and comfortable furnishings. It was nice to have a kitchen available to us for the refrigerator, sink, and breakfasts of our making. Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was a highlight. The location along the Lake and Lol Ghat was very beautiful. It was an experience living in the neighborhood along the Eastern shore and so close to the City Palace. The shared lower courtyard with the neighbors, Jogi and his family, was a bit noisy at times(primarily because of their young toddler) however they were extremely friendly and helpful especially because Jogi is a local rickshaw driver who took us to various locations throughput the area. It seems like there is rarely a dull moment, at least while we were there, as the City hosted 4 festivals during our 18 day visit. Rosie was very outgoing and sociable and introduced us to many of her friends during numerous dinners on the local rooftop restaurant. Rosie had WiFi installed for the location while we were there which helped a lot. It worked well during our visit. We would recommend this location to others looking for an immersion into the everyday life of Udaipur.

Just a delightful place to stay in Udaipur, close to the city palace and overlooking the lake. Rosie can't do enough for you, she has a heart of gold which has endeared her to the locals. Her apartment has everything you need with the added bonus of being amongst local families. The streets are kept very clean around the apartment and the upstairs terrace and bedroom are furnished very tastefully. I can't recommend it highly enough!!

Rosie's Retreat was exactly what it promised. After a hectic week in New Delhi and Jaipur, we arrived in Udaipur to be warmly greeted by Rosie. She made us feel at home and her apartment was absolutely perfect. It exceeded our expectations. Rosie's apartment is designed impeccably. We spent 2 days in Udaipur, the location was great for seeing the City Palace and wandering the streets around the lake. Rosie gave us important local advice and helped get us the best table at the ever popular Ambri Resturant.

Rosie's home stay was absolutely amazing! As is Rosie herself! From the moment we arrived, she was waiting for us and made us feel right at home. We stayed upstairs and the room is incredibly immaculate, decorated with treasures Rosie has found in India. Waking up and peering through the gorgeous bedside window to see the lake sparkling through the trees is one our fondest memories of our trip so far. Ps. The shower is also SO good! Aju, the beautiful cleaner, visits in the morning and can make you a chai tea (literally the best we've tasted so far in India). She is a very kind and friendly lady, and our favorite part of our stay at Rosie's was lounging in the warm morning sun on the magical rooftop sipping Aju's tea. During your stay, Rosie will be there to answer any questions you have, gives great advice for restaurants/ shopping and is loved by all the locals. We can't wait to "come home" to Udaipur, just so we can stay at Rosie's again! Thank you Rosie, we love you!

Our stay at Rosies place was really great! The apartment is truly charming, beautifully decorated and comfortable. The location was also ideal for us, literally a stone throw from the lake, close to everything, while being charming and quiet. The roof terrace is a nice little oasis for reading a book in the sun, or relaxing in the evening. While we were there we also had the pleasure of meeting Rosies local contact, Akshay, who with his help, humor and knowledge made our stay even better. We travelled for two and a half weeks in India, and this was the nicest place we stayed during our whole trip! We really felt at home in this little piece of heaven. Thank you Rosie for a fantastic stay at your wonderful place!

Rosie met us on arrival and walked us to her hidden gem. Easily one of the most charming places I've stayed. The setting has to be the best in Udaipur. The neighborhood is great and everyone knows her and welcomes her guests. Rosie was fabulous and we shared wonderful time shopping and exploring antique shops and just chatting. My basic recommendation is to stay at east twice as long as you originally planned. I can't wait to go back!

Fabulous place! Rosie's house is a little slice of heaven. Cozy and inviting, it was not only very comfortable but Rosie's very good aesthetics show in even the slightest of details, from the single yellow bedside rose to the lovely antiques, placed throughout the house. The shower was lovely, a strong rain version with plenty of steamy hot water. There were teas and water available, I absolutely fell in love with this place! Rosie is a very kind and generous hostess and we shared some great conversation while I gazed from the rooftop terrace over tea. She made me feel quite at home and was a great boon to begin my trip, with good solid advice on an array of topics. I return in one week to stay in the beautiful quarters upstairs and can't wait! Totally a gift to meet rosie.

Amazing place :)

My second stay with Rosie inside of a week, as I tagged on an extra day at the end of my visit. Highly recommend this lovely apartment, Rosie's hospitality is exemplary, she's considered every little need a guest might have - and stepped up (beautiful bed linen, toiletries - even spare batteries should there be a need). I couldn't have had a better experience.

The room was very well done and sparkling clean....the housekeeper did a very good job....the location is a big plus, you can walk to the city palace, the Jagdish temple, the laal ghat, down to the bazaars...2 minutes walk to the great Natural view rooftop restaurant (which was a pleasant discovery) and jaiwana cafe.....the only tiny addition would be a little direction to find the home stay and a bit more lighting in the room (if you prefer room bathed in light as opposed to the diffused lighting like me)

What a brilliant spot in Udaipur, a friendly face, stylish accommodation and help with our onward travel is just what we needed halfway through our trip. Rosie recommends all the best places to visit, eat and shop and this really helped us whilst in Udaipur. Rosie has lots of connections in the area which came in really useful. We'll be recommending to all of our friends. You can't go wrong.

My first Air bnb experience and as a solo traveller I picked out a super host - and in finding Rosie I hit gold. The apartment is one of two she has and is exquisitely decorated with antiques, vintage finds and local beaded and embroidered textiles. A gorgeous little sanctuary in the heart of the city, room made up daily and there's a hot power shower to wash away the dust at the day's end. A resident of Udaipur for many years, Rosie took the time to generously share her expertise, local knowledge and contacts, as we visited reputable artisans and traders... and generally pottered about. A lovely lady, and a stay in one of her apartments will enhance your experience this wonderful city tenfold. I will certainly return soon.

We stayed here for 4days, and bed is comfortable , bath room is big enough and facility is good as well. Really a good place and the only problem for the studio downstairs is a little noisy made by the neighbourhood. But top roof is quite good. Also Aju is quite nice with the cleaning. Really a good place , we enjoy our stay in Udaipur.

Rosie's place is amazing. We loved how chic and cozy the apartment. Its all very clean and Anju who helps to clean the apt. is very sweet and helpful. It is a bit nosy, you can hear the neighbors starting really early in the morning. But besides that the recommendations Rosie givea are great, restaurants and food wise also. The location is great as well.

Very friendly family

I had a lovelly time staying with Kishan and his family. Kishan was a great host, I checked in later than expected and he was fine about it. He also organised lovelly breakfasts/ and dinners. He made sure I was well looked after during my stay. The home itself is amazing, it's kept very clean and has a lovelly feel about it. The family is very welcoming and I'm sure you will love your stay here.

Home away from home, this place will make you feel at home. Kishan’s parents, his grandmother(Ba) and Rusky, the dog, will all make you want to come back. Place exactly as described. Can’t imagine such a quite and serene space in the middle of the SG road chaos. Kishan’s architects parents have designed this space and it is flawless in all aspects. I highly recommend anyone coming to Ahmedabad to give this space a try, you will not miss any five star hotel after having stayed here. I can go on raving about this space and their owners and would still miss out on all the great things about this space. Go ahead, give this one a try and if you like it, come back and spread the love about this space.

We had a wonderful stay with this family, the house is really interesting and comfortabe and the lovely garden is visited by peakocks and monkeys! Our host helped us getting a visa and a sim card, and we had wonderful breakfasts and meals here as well. We very much recommended this place.

Très bon accueil de Kishan et de sa famille. Partager un repas avec eux a été un véritable plaisir. La maison qu'ils ont dessiné, et qui est un véritable havre de paix, nous a préservée des fortes chaleurs du mois d'avril. Le séjour fut un peu court mais nous espérons pouvoir y retourner lors d'un prochain voyage.

The house was wonderfully designed - by Kishan's architect-parents! They were very good hosts and we had a good time sitting and talking to them. Overall, very nice experience.

Kishan's home is beautifully designed by his parents, once you enter the gates of the residence, the sounds of Ahmedabad disappear and you can rest and relax. The architecture and interiors are stunning, the courtyard with its several green spaces is the perfect spot to unwind and relax. Special thanks to Kishan's parents and Ba who were very helpful and always checked on us even when we arrived really late from work. We'll definitely be back to stay here again.

Had a wonderful stay at this beautiful bungalow which has seamlessly maintained the calmness of nature amidst modern amenities. The hosts make sure one feels at-home. I would definitely recommend this place if one is looking for a quiet relaxed cozy stay.

Give them a thumb up!! The great host, Mrs. Hari and her family!! The room which they offered me to stay is so lovely and warm. I felt like that I'm at home and one of their family members. Mr. Pari and Mrs. Hari are so friendly to their guests and helpful for any information about traveling here in Udaipur. Do not hesitate, check it up right away!! She is also a master chef and teaching awesome cooking classes!! Successfully! I'd learned how to cook traditional Indian cuisine form Mrs. Hari. She's really nice and excellent at cooking. So friends! Please book her classes immediately then enjoy your stay here in Udaipur! She deserved to be the most popular one!!

Hari's place was one of my favourite Airbnb experiences! We felt right at home with Hari and her family; they are all lovely people with big hearts who give their time so generously. As two young female travellers and our first time to India, staying at Hari's gave us the opportunity to adjust comfortably alongside Hari's beautiful family. The room is cosy, spacious and full of character; the house an authentic Indian experience. The bathroom is clean and spacious and wifi and air conditioning also very good. We were able to walk to all the main attractions and the area is wonderful and lively with plenty of shops, restaurants, markets and the city palace close by too. I will most certainly stay with Hari again if returning to Udaipur. We cannot thank you enough Hari and family!!!

Harinderji's place is centrally located and is well connected to major tourist attractions via cabs and autos. The room is spacious and instantly makes you feel at home. We had a chance to interact with her son and daughter and we found them to be just as gracious and welcoming as Harinderji! The en suite bathroom is clean and functionally satisfying. However, I personally found the anti-slip mat to be slightly unhygienic. Overall, our experience staying at Harinder's was good.

Very quiet area, very friendly hosts and nice atmosphere. They helped me with travelling stuff and gave me advise. The food was really tasty. The room was enormous and the bed very comfortamble. Totally recommended. I felt like at home

We stayed for two nights with Hari and her family and we really enjoyed our stay. Hari and her family are very warm and welcoming, we really felt at home at her place. The room was comfortable, clean and had nice details like a welcoming board with our names. The location was also great, very close to the city centre and the highlights, all walking distance. We also did a cooking class which was amazing. Hari was very flexible (we started the cooking class, went to the traditional show in between and finished cooking after) and the food was delicious!

I cannot imagine staying in Udaipur and not staying with Hari & Pari! Hari is the best host you could imagine: super generous, very communicative, and willing to help you out. She went above and beyond in our first hour with her: my friend had a small medical incident on our way to Udaipur; once we arrived, Hari walked over to the government hospital with us and helped us navigate the situation. That is something you cannot expect of others! We were very comfortable in our room and appreciated Hari and her family's suggestions of what we should see and do in Udaipur. This family makes you feel so at home; I watched cricket and a super popular game show with Hari and her son and felt so comfortable. We also took Hari's cooking class: what an exceptional way to learn a bit about Indian cuisine and so very tasty! Anyone who has the opportunity to stay here should count themselves lucky.

A very lovely stay with a wonderful family. Hari's sons were there and they helped me a lot to sort some things out. They are very welcoming and relaxed. A great stay. Do the cooking class it is great fun and amazing food!

Thank you very much for everything Hari and family, we felt at home and really enjoyed our days in your place. The food was great and the room just perfect, we hope to see you again very soon.

My short but sweet stay at Silver Moon was delightful. Helena and her husband were perfect hosts - warm, helpful, flexible, knowledgable, respectful, easy-going, and just lovely to talk to at any time. The space was much larger than I anticipated and every corner was clean and well-kept. Thoughtful details throughout the studio made it homey and it was practically equipped for shorter- and longer-term stays. I would absolutely recommend a stay at the haveli for any other single traveler looking for a relaxed, comfortable and safe home base for exploring the very walkable Udaipur. Highly recommended!

This place is right in the middle of Udaipur very close to the city palace (everything you need is available in walking distance). Helena and Manu (very cute couple) have done a great job restoring an old haveli into a modern amenity. The condo we stayed in had two bedrooms and it was beautifully decorated. I must say Helena and Manu are great hosts and will cater all your needs.

Our stay at the Silver Moon Haveli Apartment was terrific. The space is beautiful, well located with a close view of the city palace from the shared roof deck, and well equipped with its own kitchen stocked with bread and eggs (thanks Helena!). Helena was very responsive when coordinating our arrival and departures. Manu was also very quick to respond when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the house. I would highly recommend this place if you are traveling to Udaipur.

Both Helena and her husband met me outside the Haveli, and organized the taxi for me from the airport. Helena was very efficient in showing me around the premises. She was also very kind to place some staples in the kitchen so that you have something before heading out into the city. This was very helpful.

Great experience! Helena is very helpful and always available to answer your questions and queries. Location is unbeatable; just 2-3 minutes walk to the city palace. I would stay here again.

I was fortunate to stay at Helena and Manu's Haveli! I had originally intended a three day visit but enjoyed the flat and my new friends so much I asked if I could stay another four days. If you are contemplating a visit to Udiapur, do yourself a favor and stay here. The rooms are great, the location is close to everything, and Helena and Manu are terrific people and now friends. I hope to return someday and stay here again.

Helena and Manu were fantastic hosts. They were extremely accommodating and were happy to assist with any queries I had. The room is a lovely open plan area tastefully decorated and only 5 minutes from all the main attractions of Udaipur. I would highly recommend the Silver Moon Haveli to any singletons or couples travelling to Udaipur.

This was truly a great place, right in the heart of the city, Clean, Spacious and very homely. We felt as if we were living in our own home. All the basic requirements were taken care off. Wifi , TV , books for light reading, were available. Comfortable beds, AC and a clean Bath room and toilet, with ample supply of Soaps and Shampoos and Towels were in place. A small kitchen with a refrigerator, toaster, kettle, gas stove and basic utensils and cutlery were available. Helena provides a daily supply of bread, butter and eggs for the breakfast purposes. Several restaurants are available in the neighborhood. In short this place provides everything a family on a holiday looks out for. Will stay here if and when we visit Udaipur again

It was such a pleasing experience to be at Sultan Singh Ji's home. We stayed for 3 nights and we would love to stay there every time we visit Udaipur. I would surely insist to book his home. They served hot and tasty breakfast every morning. And Sultan Singh Ji will always be helpful when you ask him about how to explore the city, places of interest etc. Such a wonderful first experience with Airbnb.

Our stay at Raga home was very pleasant. Ms Parminder Kaur was very welcoming and made sure that we felt at home. The linen and towels provided were clean and the wifi was good too. All the basics were just right but what made our stay memorable was the breakfast! You have to try the parathas made by Parminder aunty, they are delicious! In the cold Udaipur mornings the hot parathas were a boon. Even though Sultan Singh ji was travelling, he made sure all our queries were answered and they gave us an insider's view of the city for shopping, eating or simply sightseeing. A brilliant experience and would definitely recommend Raga home to my friends. Thank you!

Felt like walking in a home rather than a house. Warm hospitality, attention to details made our experience a very pleasent and enjoyable. Mr amd Mrs Singh are excellent hosts. And the home cooked breakfast in the morning was icing on the cake!

This was definitely one of the best bnb I had. I traveled with family to Udaipur and Sultan Singh guided us with perfect direction. He and his family are great people, welcomed us with coffee and neat house. It was perfect family outing at perfect place in the city. I definitely recommend for anyone visiting the city.

We chose this place last minute and i must say it was the beat choice ever made. Sultan singh and his family is a very good host, they welcomed us with tea inspite of him coming back from busy work schedule. The house is nice and spacious, we booked the entire house so it was good to have everything by urself amongst frds and family. apart from the house, they also offered us Morning breakfast which the best breakfast ever and included in the room rates. Sultan singhji also helped us with recommending good locations and restaurants. We had a very comfortable stay and we ll surely visit again. Thanks you so much for having us. -Robin Patel

Great stay at Sultan Singhji's place. We were a party of five people and stayed in three rooms in the ground floor. The hosts are helpful and their home offers all the basic requirements for travelers. Mr Sultan was easily reachable and provided insights about the city and tourist attractions. The homemade breakfast was a highlight - especially the lovely aloo parathas! Also, we had to reduce one person last minute from our group due to sickness. Mr Sultan was kind enough to change our booking number and consequently provide refund. Thank you for looking after us.

Our host made us feel very welcome from the very beginning. He offered to help with everything from transportation to get to his home to tips on what we should visit in the city. He even helped us set up the rest of our trip which we were grateful for. The house is in a calm neighborhood, but it was easy to reach the city center by Tuc tuc, which he also offered to arrange for. The house was very nice, super clean, spacious and we had everything we needed. The rooms were big with a bathroom in each room, and everything was pristine. We also had our own kitchen. Sultan and his family were adorable and very welcoming. They made us feel at home. They took time to spend with us while giving us privacy (we had our own private space in the house). We felt like we were staying with family. His wife made us delicious Indian breakfast that we kept talking about for days :) We really appreciated every bit of our stay! We stayed in many places throughout our trip in India, but this was by far my favorite. Thank you Sultan for your hospitality, and thank you for the time you spent with us and for the generous conversations, the tips and advice, and thanks for sharing a beautiful side of India that we shall not forget.

Very nice place...clean and well maintained..I stayed with my pet and it was a very nice experience

Anita was very prompt in responding to our requirements in the first place which made us to trust the posting very genuine. Once we landed in the apartment, it was just a home away from home. All the amenities were very good, well maintained and comfortable. The caretaker cum cook, Palash was the show stealer. There was never a NO for an answer for anything that you ask him to help you with. Food, hygiene, comfort, service, location, space everything surpassed our expectations. We had elderly guests with us for whom this arrangement proved to be excellent. We would surely hit the place again whenever we are in Ahmedabad.

The host was very quick in her responses , proper guidances to her place , clarifications on my doubts before booking. The place was really excellent as a 5 star hotel with beautifully furnished and clean facilities. The location was very easy to move around to Ahmedabad or Gandhi nagar.. Aircon, comfortable beds , quiet , very safe , clean and neat bath room and above all a care taker who lives there. It took me abt 30 mts from the airport by taxi and costed Rs. 280/ . Easy to locate the apartment. The Godrej garden city is a huge complex and there are several blocks - with each having several buildings lik(URL HIDDEN)..... You shd go to Belvedere Block and C building. The security will guide u. Very safe place too live and a good home food and care. The hosts are available for any interaction and guidance and they know Gujarat very well and are passionate about keeping their guests happy with sincerity. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone who visit Gujarat - be it for business or for tourism.. I have been using AIRBNB all over the world last 3 years and would surely convey that this place was the best I have stayed so far in all aspects.. I would certainly make this my permanent home whenever I visit ahd. Mr. Yogesh and Ms. Anita are excellent couple with great sense of value addition and not just money minded in their attitude or approach. Thank you Mr. Yogesh for making my stay happier and made me feel at Home. A real value for money .

Total woth it. Amazing stay. The meal, rooms, other services were great. You won't feel like, you are staying in a rented flat. Mr. Palash cooks delicious food. He is good at his job. We spent 2 nights there. Wish that 2 could be 20. Dear Future travellers , don't waste time in reading comments, grab this beautiful deal asap.

Very Welcomed

Amazing apartment would recommend

One word...... Wonderful. The place is just superb. Very tastefully done interiors. Huge rooms. Nice butler.... If you dont mind staying a little away from city, than look no further.

Great stay and constant support during the stay, thanks for nice apartment and arrangements.

Nice and comfortable flat. Slightly secluded from the main city but otherwise nice. The rooms are very comfortable and cozy, very well kept and the place is very beautifully designed. Thanks for hosting us.

We loved Udaipur and it was great to stay at Silver Moon Haveli - great to have our own space, good facilities and Helena was really helpful both before and during our stay. She also kindly left some bread, eggs, milk, tea, coffee and jam. It was also nice to cook ourselves a couple of basic meals, and Helena also pointed us in the right direction to buy veg, etc. The apartment is very near the City Palace and it is easy to walk to some of the very good nearby restaurants/hotels for a lakeside beer or meal.

Helena was a great host right from the moment we picked the place on Airbnb. We were in constant touch via emails and messages and Manu came and picked us up. They had left basic items like coffee, tea, bread, butter, honey and fruits in the room which was perfect for a snack when we arrived there after a long drive from Ahemdabad. Thanks to Helena and Manu for making us feel welcome with a personal touch!

Silver Moon Haveli situated just under the walls of the City Palace is a fantastic venue for exploring this extraordinary city. Helena and Manu have lived and worked here for years and have an intimate knowledge of the area which they are happy to share with their guests. Manu and his family are part of the local craft scene and can give expert advice on where to find the best products. Silver Moon is within easy walking distance of the lake, Palace, temples, shops and restaurants and is a great place to make your homebase for exploration.

Helena is really helpfull , the location was perfect , she helped me with the dinner setup as it was our 1st anniversary , will surely visit again if coming back to Udaipur :)

We had a great stay at Helena's. Our room was spacious, clean, well equipped and in a great location (just behind the Jagdish Temple). It provided easy access to the city palace, restaurants, shops and the rest of the old city. It was relatively quiet (apart from the occasional barking of dogs on the street) and has a wonderful patio on the roof affording a great view of part of the city. We stayed on the third floor and there is no elevator - not a problem for us but could prove difficult for travellers who have difficulty with stairs (though she has rooms closer to street level). Highly recommend it - we would definitely stay there again if ever we get back to Udaipur.

Helena's place is great...well equipped, good location, and clean. We had a lovely stay.

Perfect flat with terrace. Perfect setting for the Palace, shops and transport. Tourist info available in the room and both Helena and Manu were available and accessible at all times for help and support. A perfect stay. Thank you both. We shall be back!

Helena and Manu are excellent hosts, they made us feel totally at home. Their apartment is right behind the city palace and within a short walking distance to Jagdish temple. Helena had arranged for eggs and bread at their apartment when we checked in and also brought some toys for our little one. This is really appreciated. The host was excellent on her communication and we were happy with our stay there. Thanks Helena and Manu

Lovely hosts and great location

It was an amazing experience at Utelia House. I was in Ahmedabad for work and I was glad my colleagues and I chose Utelia House over a hotel. The house was not just a place to say, it was like our second home in Ahmedabad. The Host was very caring and paid attention to the small details that we might overlook.

I found Yuvaraj, his wife and their help Ganesh, helpful and sweet. The guest house is how it looks in the photographs - tastefully done and clean.

Outstanding service, brilliant host

I had an amazing time at the Utelia house. Great luxury according to any Western standard and more. It's an oasis of tranquility where to retreat from all the craziness of the streets in an Indian metropolis. Vidhatri was a perfect and welcoming host with great suggestions for the area and help with arranging taxi transportation. Highly recommended!

Listing is clean and comfy! Looks just like in the photos!

Yuvraj Bhagirathi is a brilliant host. The place is impeccably clean, well designed and deserves a 7 star in terms of service.

From the genuinely friendly and thoughtful hosts, to the impeccably appointed room, to the delicious home-cooked food, beautiful garden and irresistibly lovable dogs, this place is perfect in so many ways. A quiet oasis off of a central Ahmedabad street. Its the best that Air Bnb has to offer. Absolutely fantastic!

Aranya Eco was a delight to stay at & the hosts & their team have single minded Focus i.e. Guest Satisfaction ! The hospitality offered was truly awesome ! The location of the Farm is unique with hills of 3 sides ! The summer was definitely at the peak but was mitigated by Juicy Organic Kesar Mangoes !! It was a privilege to relish Naturally ripe Mangoes !! Thanks a lot !

Aranya Eco Farms is a serene mango farm near Gir Forest. We enjoyed the property with our family and the kids were overjoyed to ride on swings and to take a dip in the mini swimming pool. The best part was that there is no intrusion, absolute privacy and we had the whole place to ourselves. To top it up, the food was amazing and was customised to our requirements. While traveling home cooked food is heavenly. Great recommendation for all...

What an incredible place! Dinesh uncle and his family have created the perfect home for wildlife lovers in the wilderness of Gir. What was once a barren piece of land is now a thriving organic farm with mango trees, a vegetable garden and lots of birds. The house itself is very aesthetically designed, with a common area to lounge about and a comfy room to sleep to the sounds of nature and the smell of night flowers. Outside, there are swings, a swimming pool, and miles of wilderness. But perhaps what makes the place so perfect is the warm hospitality of Dineshbhai and his wife. I spent hours chatting with them about life in Gujarat and hearing wildlife stories, and even joined them to visit their friends in the farming village nearby. Aunty's home cooked food is the best I had on my two week trip through Gujarat - traditional Saurashtra recipes that she gladly customised to my vegan preference, made with ingredients sourced from their organic garden. I still think of her food so fondly! Oh, and lions walk the wilderness outside the fenced area and in the villages nearby! I don't like the idea of flashing lights in the night to look for them as many locals do (it surely disturbs the animals), but if you are lucky and stay long enough, you're quite likely to spot one. If you're looking for tranquil sunrises and sunsets, being in the wilderness yet with modern comforts, and a real taste of Gujarati food and hospitality, go soon! Tips: - Permits for the Gir national park safari (a short drive away from the farm) are only available online and get sold out soon. Make sure you score one or more for your dates if you want to go into the park. I had an incredibly lucky sighting on the safari of 3 lionesses with 5 cubs! - There's no wifi but Airtel catches 2G/3G intermittently. - The caretaker and his family and the people I met in the village are all rather friendly; I never felt defensive as a single traveler.

Great place , good people and an awesome experience !! Good things are often found at most difficult of locations. Aranya farms is a perfect example of this saying. Staying at Aranya farms turned out to be the best decision of our trip. It is a beautiful well maintained place , which can be enjoyed by people of all age groups. Despite being present for a very short time , we were able to enjoy the beautiful and clean pool, a sky decorated with stars ( and if lucky, glimpse of a shooting star as well ) and lots of tasty food. The staff and the owners are very helpful and ensure you have a hassle free stay. The place is equipped with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Heart felt thanks to the Aranya team for their hospitality and congratulations for doing a superb job. Keep it up

The host made us feel welcome by immediately and lovingly serving a sumptuous lunch to us. They gave us a guided tour of the place and tended to the smallest need.

Awesome property with great location and very amazing staff. Highly recommended.

We ( I, my wife, son and Dad ) stayed at Aranya Eco Farm for 2 nights ( 28 and 29th of March 2016 ). The stay and the experience was truly delightful. The farm itself is about 3kms from Devaliya park west exit gate ( 500mts away from the main road ). Look for the sign on the electric pole at about 10ft height. The back side of the farm is adjoining the forest. The farm house has 2 rooms with en-suite bathrooms. The hall, dining place and the kitchen are at the center and the 2 rooms on the sides. 2 families can easily share the house with sufficient privacy and still have a large enough place to interact. The rooms are nice , spacious, comfortable and clean. The mango and vegetable farm attract many a birds ( Peacock, bulbul, sparrows, sunbirds, spotted pigoens etc ). Post sundown, you can see the magnificient stars in the sky. We spotted many a satellites just post sundown. The best part of the stay was the warmth of the hosts as well and the staff. Though Vishal wasnt there when we went, he did call us a day before we arrived, on the day we arrived and checked if all things are fine. Mr Bhavesh, the caretaker was extremely helpful during the entire stay. He is also knowledgeable about the farm and has stories to tell about his encounters with lions in and around the farm. We also were served excellent food during our stay by Mr Magan. The vegetables are all organically grown in the farm itself. The taste still lingers. The Gir jungle trail safari is about 14kms from the farm. Normally takes about 20 minutes drive. But the connecting road is closed from Sunset to Sunrise. So please do let the staff know before incase you have an early morning ( 6.00AM ) safari booked. We did have this time slot. Mr Bhavesh came with us from the farm to the Safari point to show us an alternate route. Takes about 40 minutes drive. BTW we spotted sambars and foxes near the farm. And heard lions deep breath outs in the night ( couldnt see them though ) The pool is small compared to the pools at hotels but good enough for an evening dip, just to laze around and beat the heat. Overall , a very relaxing and satisfying stay at the Aranya Eco Farm. Would recommend if you enjoy nature, a laid back vacation, great food, good conversation and away from TV and noise.

Had great experience staying in Gir, farmhouse on highland and mango park .

i was under impression that entire apt means property for my use. this was a 3 bedroom apt. (which i deed not expected) with host and his family living in. i did not stay overnight as i did not expected to be paying guest like situation.

The best place to get peace, beautiful home, great host, great experience.

We were on a long road trip to Rajasthan and decided to stay here for just a night. Shivendra made us feel extremely welcome.

We had a good stay, they made us feel at home. Shivendra and his wife are very nice people.Place is clean and food was fine.

Shivendra's place was great and felt very safe. The locality itself was quite nice. Although had minor water issues etc, Shivendra was very reachable and got them resolved as soon as possible. The only issue unresolved was the wi-fi that wasn't working throughout! He was even kind enough to trust and offer us his 2 wheeler for local commute! Absolute privacy and safety rest assured. :)

The stay was nice... The host was very friendly and helpful...

great stay and no other interfere is best thing about it...

Family is very friendly, Food quality was ultimate(Ghar ka garam garam khana)... Shivendra is very helpful.. He helped me finding places to visit, directions, and things to eat in Baroda

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Our stay at Banjara Hostel was great! The place was true to the pictures. Even more beautiful if that's possible! The location was perfect as all the attractions were minutes away. Our rooms were very comfortable. The hotel restaurant served some amazing food. Highlight of our trip was the live music on the 25th. Really made my day when I was asked to join them onstage :) Thank you for the experience..look forward to visiting again.

Place is very central but can be hard to find in a maze of small allies. Cleanliness was a major issue for me and I think I can it can be worked on. The roof top location of the restaurant is a plus and the staff was very friendly.

It has the highest roof top restaurant in Udaipur and hotel is centrally located. We had booked a dormitory so we're not really expecting luxury. Hence it was pretty good place.

Appartement correcte. Cependant l'hôtel était entièrement en travaux et La wifi ne fonctionnait pas.

Banjara Hostel is an amazing place to meet new people and make amazing new friends, it's clean and there is hot water 24/7 and looks exactly like in the (URL HIDDEN) a total value for money and has an awesome rooftop restaurant from where one can see the lake. Udaipur is a beautiful city and we had an amazing time thanks to Banjara. Also making a special mention of tilakraj...he was very helpful in guiding us on how to go and where to go about in the city.

Accommodation was at great location, host was really helpful and staff were equally accommodating. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time at Banjara Hostel. We reached the place a little early, Shakti still managed to accommodate us in a dorm for sometime and then provided us our specified rooms at check in. Though we didn't get a chance to meet Shakti, we met his brother (POC) and he handled all our requests pretty well and helped us out in all possible manner. The cleanliness was a issue, maybe because of the festivals there was a crunch in the number of attendants in the listing but that didnot effect much as we did the cleaning ourselves. One major issue that we faced was with one of the attendants. He kept on accusing us for making noise in the listing even when we were not and at times he was very rude that was the down part of this visit. We told him many times that the noise was coming from the floor below us but he always came to us with threats of removing us from the place. Rest we enjoyed Holi and had a wonderful trip incuding the stay. One last thing, The accommodation is very beautiful and its a treat to live in.

This place is 5/5 when we talk about value for money. Amazing rooftop, pleasant staff and good atmosphere. Location of the hostel is also worth appreciation. I am definitely staying at Banjara whenever I am in Udaipur again.

Once again it was as amazing as ever and we had a wonderful time.

Excellent place to stay, place was clean and tidy and the arrangements made very well met the expectations, and felt homely. A nice place to enjoy holidays away from the noisy city life.

Raj er en utrolig venlig og særlig person som det har været en glæde at møde og snakke med. Boligen var skøn og ligger helt uforstyrret i en indhegnet gruppe af tilsvarende huse med et fælles klubhus hvor svimmingpoolen er. Svimmingpoolen var dejlig og vi nød at se solnedgangen med udsigt til træer og fuldstændig stilhed omkring os. Der er flere gode steder at sidde omkring huset, en god skygge terrasse og en dejlig svingebænk ude foran til en hyggelig aftenstund under (URL HIDDEN) tog derudover en tur ned og så Gir løvepark ca 200 km væk. Rajkot der ligger en halv times kørsel væk er også en fin by med flere shoppingsteder. Alt i alt et meget fredeligt sted til at slappe af.

It's a very good place for holidays. It's a very clean green and eye appealing place. Service is very good. I feel its so cool place to visit again and again.

There are typo in the listing, the villa has only 2 bedroom where the listing says 5. We were 3 couples so one of us had to go to club house to sleep where the host arranged after the discussion. It had 2 bathroom out of which 1 was out of order, which was informed but at very last moment, on the morning of check in day, but having traveling with couples it was difficult to adjust with that. Swimming pool was half full and not suitable for swimming. Overall we enjoyed our trip at the villa being located away from the city. But experience was very okay.

+ve: - Clean, secluded, quiet - On the highway - Swimming pool (visited in winter, so we didnt use it. ) -ve: - Nearest restaurant is about 3 kms away - It is a vacation house, so on weekdays it is almost empty. (Actually we loved it, entire place with 100s of villas and we were the only one there)

Place was really amazing.... Quiet and peaceful place. One must experience these stay Mind blowing place. Host - Raj di - Really thanks to her for such amazing stay and being so kind and helpful to us

One of the best place if you need a break from the noisy city life. The people working here are quite helpful and the host is very welcoming. In all it is a warm place to stay with a homely feeling.

This Villa is a wonderful, quiet place to stay. The neighbors are very polite, friendly and helpful. It is very clean and tidy. The rooms are spacious, updated with comfortable beds. Its one of the most reasonable and Lavish place to stay. We had no bad experience and are planning to keep coming back! Stayed February 2017, travelled with family and friends

Clean neighborhood. Spacious, well maintained house. Great host!

The place was great and the host was extremely supportive !! Took care of our needs really well and was very responsive !!

You can say its near the city, yet away from the hustle bustle of a city. A Quiet surrounding and yet all facilities like restaurants and groceries nearby. Host was there to receive us and was always available on call to assist us. It was great to stay here, hope to stay again.

Wonderful villa in a quiet neighborhood -- would stay here again.

It's gud

The bungalow is located in a very good society, away from city's traffic but not too far from SG highway & other important locations of the city that any tourist or business traveler would be interested to visit. House & rooms are specious, clean & with all required amenities to stay there. Loved peaceful environment, scenic beauty of nearby area too. Host's support was excellent for any questions or needs even in odd time in early morning or late night. We faced difficulty in getting cabs like Uber & Ola, however, got Auto Rixa when needed. For better convenience, guests can rent a car or use own car for local travel will be the best. We would love to stay here again in future.

Nice place, some distance from the city but that might be an advantage too! Very peaceful and safe complex
