    Ideal beautiful place to stay with all the comforts and full facilities

    My only problem was the location perhaps 4 or 5 kilometers from the game reserve with no transport to get there...I often had to walk back and forth but sometimes found a local rickshaw. As I am in my late 70s, this was somewhat stressful.

    This property is perhaps the most comfortable place to stay while visiting the Jaldapara Game reserve....wonderful in every way....friendly staff and great facilities with large air con rooms and hot water showers and a full service restaurant...a perfect retreat from the simplicity of rural India.... surrounded by tea plantations and forests of trees that produce betel nut, the favorite mild narcotic of many local people in India.

    Frequent powercut. While generator is there, mid-night no one is attentive to turn it on. Please check the bills carefully during checkout.

    Room Service very prompt and caring. Peaceful and quite location. Food is simple but tasty and hygienic. Well maintained property.

    Food and their rate chart expensive.

    Their resturent and food quality is not good. charge is very high. Like simple maggie they're charging Rs 120/ There is no thali system provided.lunch /dinner you should order each item that is very expensive. example rice -Rs 120/,normal Dal -Rs120/ vegetable -150,panir-Rs 225 Fish two piece katla Rs 220/ chicken 4 pc -Rs 330/ water bottle 1 liter Rs 30/ How they charge. I would prefer next time not to stay here. Location is very bad.from Jaldapara main gate it is 4-5 kms far away.there is no Shop. In jaldapara main gate Aronnyo Tourist Property (govt of west bengal)is the best. I want to book Aronnyo Tourist Property but booking dot com suggest me Jaldapara Forest tourist Lodge. Very very bad experience. I suggest booking dot com not to provide this hotel. There cost is two days in booking dot com for stay Rs -5832/ they charge me extra GST Rs 699/ this is very bad.

    About half km kuchcha road when your car leaves the black bituminous road is really bad and also there should be more prominent signage from the junction where you leave NH317 otherwise you may end up reaching the WB Forest Tourist Lodge 1km ahead

    Everything about this place is just awesome. Beautiful location, serene, tranquil in the midst of nature. Stuff polite helpful, tasty food, fresh crisp air. I really liked this place
