“Nice place, serene environment”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2011

Went with 2 other couples for a weekend during the monsoons and found the place to be very quiet and peaceful.
Food was excellent and was cooked after asking us the menu. They did not mind customizing it for us and even prepared off-menu items for us. Of course, we all over-ate :)
Rooms are nice and good views from the cute windows of the real and rural rajasthan.
With almost no activities to do in and around the fort (for kids), it is perfect for couples on a romantic getaway or for elders who are looking for silence and solitude.

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2011

people found this review helpful

A wonderful oasis of calm amongst the hustle and bustle of Rajasthan; this really is worth a detour for anyone partaking a tour of Rajasthan. Breathtaking views, impeccable service and every conceivable comfort; it certainly stirs the imagination with a sense of ancient history skilfully blended with a sensitive restoration programme. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to re-visit one day.

Highly recommended. XXXXX

“Visual and restful bliss”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 March 2011

This beautifully and sensitively restored hill top fort was the most heavenly place to stay amidst a very rural unspoilt landscape humming with life from the village below to the multitude of birds soaring above, with the sounds of jackals in the hills at night beneath a waxing moon. Blissful tranquility, thankfully no television, infinite views through fascinating Moghul architectural spaces, and abundant wild flowers covering the slopes leading to the magnificent pool guarded by ponderous marble elephants.
The staff were all charming, relaxed and exceptionally helpful. Our bedroom and bathroom were delightful, beautifully and unpretentiosly decorated.
All was in perfect harmony.

“Rajasthan at its best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2011

We spent three nights in this marvellous fort hotel situated in wonderful unspoilt countryside to the south of Udaipur. What makes Bambora so special is that you really feel that you are off the beaten track - well away from the hordes of tourists in Udaipur.
The place is real Rajasthan, beautifully restored and decorated in traditional style. Life can go on here at a leisurely pace with very friendly and attentive staff. The swimming pool is really beautiful.

“Opulant, Palacial, Exotic and Warm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2011

My entire family comprising of 6 adults and two children were off to Udaipur for a 2 night stay by road. One of our friends had mentioned that just out of Udaipur was this heavenly place called Hotel Karni Fort which was one of the best experiences of their life. We decided to break journey by spending the night at this hotel. We arrived at 4.00 PM and were welcomed with the warmest service and a heavenly cup of tea. After resting for an hour we walked around and were treated to a tour of the museum and the history of the palace after which we walked through the beautiful surroundings before making our way to the pool. In the evening we had drinks around the fireplace and were treated to some wondeful folk dance and singing which epitomises the very spirit of Rajasthan, followed by a wonderful meal in the restaraunt.
The next morning we woke up to a breathless sunrise and were treated to a wonderful breakfast before departing for udaipiur.
The rooms and the services were second to none and I highly recommend this wonderful hotel which will make you fell nothing short of a king or queen.
