    They didn’t accept credit cards. We should have been told about it in advance. Luckily we had the balance in GPay account to pay all the charges.

    - Nothing in particular

    - Hospitality and friendliness of the owner and his team - Comfort of the tents is great for being in a desert (heater for winter, A/C for summer, good bed and shower) - Package all inclusive with the tent, food, camel/Jeep ride and traditional Rajasthani show. No extra to pay

    We recently had the most incredible experience at Kafila Desert Camp. We stayed there for 1 night along with our friends. The camp's hospitality was outstanding, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Special thanks to Paramjeet who is doing an incredible job managing this property. He and his team really made us feel welcomed making sure we had an amazing desert experience. The highlight was they arranged for a sunrise breakfast and camel safari. Overall, the luxurious tents, delicious local cuisine, performances by local artists, and mesmerizing desert views made it a perfect trip. I highly recommend Kafila for anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable desert adventure. Five stars all the way!

    It is a great experience to be in midst of the desert, and Kafila is a good mix of comfortable living and enjoying the sandy surrounds. The camp is spacious, clean and well-maintained. Staff and crew are one of the highlights for the level of attention and individualised service. Food spread is wide and delicious with several Rajasthani specialities. Got the opportunuty to meet the inspirational owner, who shared the background, use of local artisans and local artists to engage the guests. Paramjeet, Deepika,Mool Singh and team made the experience special. Kudos to the behind-the-scenes chef and sous chef for churning out yum food. Thank you!

    Not much. Everything was as per our expectations. Thank you.

    Hospitality at the Kafila was amazing. The team led by Paramjeet was just perfect. They were available when we need and making sure we are comfortable all through the stay. The stay included a clean luxurious tent, big bathroom with hot water. We did an evening safari including a camel ride, tea at the dune along with the beautiful sunset. The camp also has beautiful architecture and peacocks that hang around in the mornings. We celebrated a family member's birthday. At a short notice, the Kafila was able to setup an exclusive celebration with candles, tiki bar, cake and performance. Special shout out for Abrahim for taking great pictures.

    We love everything about this place.

    Our first desert stay turned out to be a delightful surprise, thanks to the amazing staff. Right from helping us with reservations to giving us the lowdown on transportation and activities, they were super helpful and genuinely welcoming. The organized events, like abondoned village tours, sunset watching with camels and stargazing, were unexpectedly cool. We even had the choice of using a professional telescope – a nice touch! And when it came to food, my friend couldn't eat spicy/chilli food, they took this into consideration when preparing her food. What made the stay even better was the friendly atmosphere. It was great seeing women in roles where you don't usually find them. Shoutout to Mr. Mool for being patient with all our questions and making sure we felt at home. This place is a gem, and we'd recommend it in a heartbeat! We stayed 2 days to experience everything and we didn't regret it. A quick note about transportation: We prioritized our safety and asked the camp to arrange a vehicle. The vehicles were comfortable but more expensive than normal. If you want to make transportation cheaper, you can arrange a taxi from the airport.

    Nothing as such, but a suggestion to put more realistic pictures for customers to relate to actual offerings ! Also with the experience please do ensure to put a dos and donts so that visitors are not taken for a ride - like it happened for us.

    The best thing about it was the staff ! very very courteous and supportive. we faced a situation with regards to payment to the property and they were super kind in helping us resolve it without any sho shaa. thank you Paramjeetji and his staff. They have some delicious Rajasthani food to offer for dinner/package you select along with some super breakfast. one of the best Upma I have had in breakfast. Tents are very spacious and has instant hot water facility The folk music and dance was really fun and enjoyable with some delicious hot Indian snacks served to us. Book your visit to dunes as per your convenience and they will have it arranged very well ! Thank you Kafila and team, we thoroughly enjoyed our short stay ! definitely worth recommending !

    From the start till the end. I had a great experience, the camp and loving staff made my trip exceptional.The ambience of the tent. The mesmerising sunset and sundowner set by camp is wonderful they arrange tea coffee and cookies on dunes, culture beliefs, folk songs and dance, boom it's like living in a dream. We booked an exclusive dinner on the dunes arrangement by camp, they arranged a wonderful dinner set up in the middle of nowhere. That was a life time experience. Perfectly made my trip way better than I ever imagined.
