Rustic is a good descriptive word used by a previous reviewer,the hotel has available internet but the manager has to give up his desk for you which he does with a great big smile, I think I was on it for two hours and he had to interupt me now and then to check a few things himself on the... More

From the bright radiating palaces, princely abodes, kothis and havelis of Udaipur to the wild, rustic, forest surrounded cottages of Aranyawas in Ranakpur, the ambience and beauty are worlds apart. While one sparkles in royal pride of a glorious history, the other humbles you into nature’s pleasant embrace. A wintry evening amidst the thicket of trees, co-habitat of animals, warli... More

Fairly rustic. Can have stand alone cottage or duplex or fourplex (with upper and lower rooms) Intermittent power. The water did not work in my first room and they easily switched me to another. Large, relaxing rooms with a porch (electrical outlet, but no wifi). Not the best shower, but it was clean. Delicious food and good service at restaurant... More

We wanted to see the world famous Ranakpur temples in southern Rajasthan. Aranyawas turned out to be the perfect base. Their service was fast and efficient. Both in the restaurant and otherwise. The Manager of the resort was very helpful and the perfect person to guide us on local sights. The food is good. They sometimes tend to go slow... More

This hotel is beautifully located in the mountains and the rooms are very simple, but clean. But don't visit the restaurant if you don't want to be ill. The kitchen is very unhygienic, rats running out of it and breakfast is even worse. Don't go there. More

A wonderful place and location in terms of nature. Try if you want to cut off from the world, as there is not mobile coverage [I liked the most ;)]. The rooms are big and spacious with some good furniture and a big balcony. They are designed as villa. The food was average in taste. There are a couple of... More

As a hotel is was not bad but really we should have just seen the sites and travelled straight to Udaipur as it was not worth a stop and basically it was very boring at the hotel as there was no tv or wifi – so we just had to sit around for 2 hours waiting for dinner to start.... More

This hotel was amazing, it is set out with an aztec design, the rooms had amazing views of either the valley or the mountains! a little cold at night but the rooms were great with great access to hot water. The rooms also had own balcony even on the group floor! There is a fire pit near the restaurant which... More

We stayed at the Aranyawas in Ranakpur, some 90 kms away from Udaipur, Rajasthan for one night. Cottages, cabins and rooms tucked away in the mountainside. It wasn't fancy, very rustic, yet charming. Wish we had stayed there longer than a night. Nothing can beat the awesome poha and chai that we were served in the morning, while sitting outside,... More
