Guest reviews Khem Villas

We decided to go for the rooms in the main house rather than in the lodges and were glad we did so. They more than met our needs and were very convenient. The cost difference was substantial. The food was excellent but was let down on occasions by some pretty random service where no one seemed to be in charge. The free wildlife walk was good and the facilities were well above average. Would certainly commend to others as an alternative to less characterful but glitzy hotels in the town.

Quiet eco-conscious haven

Stayed here for three nights after Agra. Long drive but nice to see proper countryside. Accommodation was in tents. Very nice tents and well appointed. Note that there is no aircon in the tents. In March was fine and did not have the fan even on but in hot season I would avoid. Beautiful views from the tent. Note also the camp is not far from the village and we heard misused a couple of times - a bit telling that the hotel provides ear plugs as standard :). The villas face the other was and may be better option. Food was good vegetarian fare. Note that there is no meat served at all. I was not aware of this as an avid meat eater and quite strange to go 3 days with no meat. But I made it!! The food is a buffet and everything put on a tray to eat. Not first prize for me but an experience. On the last morning we went on a walk around the property. Very informative and saw some good birds. Worthwhile doing. Went to the spa. I never have massages but this did not do anything to persuade me to do more. Quite inexpensive though. Overall a nice base to go on game drives. Worthwhile considering.

Fantastic

A beautifully situated hotel in its own grounds. We stayed in one of the cottages overlooking a lake with it's own resident crocodile. Just walking round the extensive grounds was a memorable experience. The staff are friendly and helpful - and the service included hot water bottles and blankets provided for early safaris. The food - all vegetarian - was excellent, and sitting round the campfire with a cold beer in the evening was something not to miss. Thanks especially to DV, the resident naturalist, who was most informative. Definitely recommended.

Highlight of our trip

Loved this place! One of the best experiences I have ever had and I did not want to leave. This place is beautiful, the staff are very attentive and they have thought of everything. Never stayed anywhere so thoughtful! Food was amazing, tour of the grounds was fab and game drives just awesome. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Would love to return some day.

Beautiful location

Stayed in a villa which was really lovely with a private terrace looking out towards the hills. The location is beautiful with lots of restful places to sit and relax with very helpful staff. Water is supplied when out on safari together with blankets and hot water bottles in the early mornings.
