Kolkata (Calcutta), IndiaWorst property I have stayed in a long long time
Review of Aranya Lodge
Reviewed 2 Jan 2024
One of the worst properties I have stayed in a long long time. While the expectation from a government property is generally not high, this was a property which should have a world record of being a bad place to stay during a holiday.
- Extremely dirty and unhygienic dining hall and kitchen. Flies, un-mopped floors, rickety and broken dining chairs and oily food (we all had an upset stomach the first day we ate there , and then chose to survive or bread and banana the next 2 days)
- Disinterested dining room staff, who look and act like they are doing a favour to you. There is someone sleeping at the counter anytime of the day (Most of them at least)
- Dirty and stained linen on beds.
- The cottage I stayed in (Tiger) is with gutkha-stained walls beside the bed, badly lighted with scribbled and deep colored walls, stinking and dripping bathroom, broken cupboard door, and creaky and dirty furniture. Icing in the cake was when I was welcomed with a lizard falling on me as soon as I opened the door.
-Stray dogs and monkeys swarming all over
[The only good thing were the gentlemen at the reception who were open to discussion and were courteous. Espl Mr Dinesh Kalita and another young executive who were very cordial. ]

Its a good cheap option to stay in Kaziranga, Also its near to main entrance of Kaziranga National Park so it saves travelling for jeep safari & elephant safari. Meals provided by them are also very good (breakfast, lunch dinner) Its a 2 floor building without lift facility, so aged people and handicapped its difficult. Also its budget hotel, govt run hotel so dont expect big. Do advance booking.

If you are looking for a place which is closer to safari starting point plus good basic amenities plus good customer services, you can definitely go for this one.We stayed here for two nights.Cottage was specious.Garden was really beautiful and well maintained.
We did booking by calling them.You wouldn't find an option to book this online.Would like to mention Mr. ANUPAM here.Anupam was very very supportive.He helped us arranging elephant and jeep safari..Whenever I interacted with him, I got the perfect guidance.
If you are not looking for luxurious facilities, this is the place for you.You will get very limited food options (Applicable in most of d restaurants in Assam/Arunachal). Since there would be limited seats for elephant safari, book d one in advance. If u r travelling with kids, elephant safari should be definitely be there in ur plan.

Very convenient location. Located close to the safari booking area with all the important amenities. A well equipped kitchen that serves a range of toothsome food. Don't expect anything exotic, however. Although resting close to the action area, it is tucked away in a quiet corner where you can wake up to bird calls. The manager is a friendly soul with an attitude to help. Unless you are looking for luxuries, you may look at this property during your next Kaziranga visit.

This property is a government owned excellent in all aspects,rate,food,beverages and on prior intimation they arrange elephant safari,so be careful since other tour package people will not inform you as they will not get their money from hotel owners.You can book it on line with complete satisfaction and belief.
