If you're looking for a authentic rural Rajasthani experience then Mala Ki Dhani is for you. Whether it's sitting down together for a home cooked meal, receiving a henna artwork, sleeping outside under the moonlight, petting the family goats, riding camels, or visiting the nearby village, Om and his family will welcome you with curiosity and open arms - we were even lucky enough to witness the start of a Rajasthani rural wedding in Om's birthplace.

Staying at Mala Ki Dhani was a life-affirming experience for me. In just 3 days, I experienced so much kindness from Om ji, his family, and the other guests. On day 1, Om picked me up from the airport in his Jeep and drove me to his house in the desert north of Jaisalmer. Here we ate tasty food freshly prepared by his wife. Om organised a desert safari for us in a peaceful area of the dunes, where we ate food around the fire under thousands of stars. On day 2, we played cricket with Om’s children before heading to his family home in the village nearby. Here we were greeted by his parents and lots of local children who were keen to play games and show us around. Later that evening, everyone helped out cooking and ate together around the fire. I chose to sleep out under the stars on a cosy charpai. On day 3, we had a relaxing morning eating poha for breakfast before being dropped off back in Jaisalmer to see the fort and Havelis. Om bought me meetha pan to try, and we bid farewell. I’m so glad I chose to stay at Mala Ki Dhani. I experienced Jaisalmer and so much more! Hoping to return soon.

Mala Ki dhani was an unforgettable experience and a miniscule mirror of Bharat's grand old civilization. For someone from a bustling city looking for peace and quiet of the countryside, it is heaven. An authentic Rajasthani village abode nestled among sand stone hillocks, with a tiny temple on top, overlooking the scenery, as if to bless it, Mala ki Dhani and it's lovely people, food, sunshine and starry sky, have forever colored my existence.

The best highlight of the property is offbeat location which is slightly away from the city.

To me everything was perfect, as I was expecting! But of course you need to adapt to the situation, there Is no electricity or running water... But it's part of the experience!

Om and his family are so welcoming and the location is amazing. Om took me to see the village near by and meet some locals there, while his children, so sweet and curious to meet me, came on a walk with me exploring the area, and we reached the temple on top of the hill nearby. The food cooked by his wife is simple and delicious. I wish I could have stayed more!!

A life changing opportunity to experience rural life in Rajahstan. Om and his family were the best hosts and the food was delicious. It was a privilege to learn about rural life and experience it first hand. We will miss the family a lot and will definitely stay in touch, especially about cricket!

An amazing offbeat experience. Nice and quiet area where you can chill around a bonfire, sleep under the stars and watch a lovely sunset. Our host, Om, is one of the best hosts one could ask for. He took care of us on all aspects from transport to creating a nice itinerary for us on things to visit and preparing delicious meals cooked to us by his wife. He also introduced us to his extended family at a party in a village nearby, they were all very welcoming and friendly to us. We are very thankful for this experience and we highly recommend it to anyone who's willing to try something new and unique.

Nothing to say here, all good.

Stayed with a friend of mine for one night whilst in Jaisalmer. So glad we found this place and would highly recommend anyone to visit for a night or two. From the get go Om was super helpful, contacted us to organise getting to the property and answered all questions we had. On arrival to the location we were pleasantly surprised with how peaceful and clean it was. The mud huts were great to sleep in, I felt very connected to nature and we both sleep incredibly well. Basic as expected but with all the necessities and a very unique experience. The food was fantastic. Oms wife cooked fresh vegetables, daal, rice and roti for our evening meal. I was very grateful to eat home cooked tasty food. It was a nice break from all the heavy curries we’d been eating in the run up! Whilst visiting we also received henna tattoos and were taken to the local village where we shared chai with the locals. Om also offered a safari tour which we were not able to do.

While travelling across India on our motorcycles, my partner and I decided to visit Mala Ki Dhani. The host is a friendly and warm hearted man called Om, he was proactive and made sure our needs were met. The location was a wonderful change from the bustle of the city, we enjoyed the cosy and natural accommodation, campfires, and delicious home cooking! For animal lovers, there were also cute goats and puppies. Many thanks to Om and family for creating such a rememberable getaway!

Wonderful host, best place if you wish to experience a rural life in Jaisalmer, had a great time here. Be prepared to face cold conditions in winter (it is obvious). Looking forward to coming here again, very much satisfied.

Om and his family welcomed us in a very warm and friendly way. The surroundings are beautiful and authentic. We slept in a cabin and it was fun. We were able to admire the stars near a fire, eating a delicious food, cooked by Om's wife. Chatting with the other guests was fun too. I highly recommend to spend a few nights there. Do not forget to take warm clothes with you during winter.

An amazing place to experience a perfect village stay. The host OM and his family were very helpful and make you feel comfortable and at home. We had reserved our stay for a night but ended up spending more nights. It’s a must visit when travelling to Jaisalmer .

An extraordinarily peaceful yet affordable place to stay, away from the chaos and the hustle-bustle of city life , right under the stars. And not to miss Om bhaiya, the manager who makes sure every guest's needs are attended to. Excellent hospitality.

It gets a bit cold at night in the winter, so bring good clothes. But they have GREAT blankets as well!

We loved everything here! We’ve been travelling India for 2 weeks now staying in lots of both hotels, hostels and homestays, but this is by far the favorite place we’ve stayed so far! Om and his family were amazing, and really made us feel at home here. He is a great host and conversation partner and will help you with anything. His wonderful wife cooked us delicious food, and even did henna on me for free. The property itself is so charming, and feels really peaceful away from the hustle of the city. The nightsky and bonfire here in the evening is something you have to experience. I would love to come back to stay longer some time!

Om and his children are great . The stay is all about simple village life . No electricity but we didn’t miss it either . I actually read a book in the moonlight and was really fascinating . How people in olden times could survive without all the gadgets and amenties. Food was awesome . Just go there to relax and unwind from the hustle bustle of city life .

Everything was very good. It was better than expected.

An unusual place on the map of India. You must come there for at least 1 night (and if you have time, longer) if you are looking for peace away from the hustle and bustle of Jaisalmer, a friendly atmosphere created by the hosts, a sky full of stars, delicious and healthy food, MALA KI DHANI is the place for you. Additionally, the host is very willing to talk about life in India. The history of this place is amazing. If we ever come back to Jaisalmer, we will definitely come back to Om and his family.

I loved the authenticity of the place and generosity of Om Bhati and Harish. Property was “as it is” as shown in pics. Atmosphere around the place was peaceful. Attentiveness of Om Bhati bro is exceptional. He helped us to plan places to visit according to our schedule. I could see foreign visitors staying at the property and that tells kind of desi experience they are providing. Thank you so much Om for your hospitality and I wish we shall meet again.

Nothing as such, anyways there would be scope to improve.

The location where it is situated, tents are nicely built, its free from all the city life and peaceful village life style.
