    vishal k.couple

    This is one of the best place to stay near Mumbai. Location is at a very prime place and the view is just awesome. Travelling - you experience both jungle and off roading. Loved the property. The food options at the property needs to be improved. If you are coming here ensure you carry extra food and snacks with as they have a very limited food options.

    Only good thing about this property is its peaceful, else a big nightmare

    shailesh g.couple

    I had an extremely uncomfortable, unexpected, and unprofessional experience at this property. Despite being a SaffronStays property, the staff was highly unprofessional. The stay was not only disappointing but also outright insulting—an experience I would never want to go through again

    Our stay at Raanwaara was fantastic! The rooms were exceptionally clean and well-appointed, and a great view of the mountains. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. The quality of food was outstanding, making us feel right at home. Overall, a wonderful experience and we would definitely recommend Raanwaara to those seeking a similar experience.

    good getaway for weekend

    anuja p.couple

    The overall experience was pleasant, but considering the price, I expected better service. The room lacked some basic amenities such as a cupboard and television. Additionally, I was hoping for complimentary refreshments like tea/coffee sachets, which are standard in most staycations. That said, everything else was commendable—cleanliness, ambiance, and interior design were top-notch. The food was simple and decent, but there is room for improvement in terms of taste and variety.

    Aranya vilas is a nature lovers haven located in the midst of a dense forest with narrow winding lanes. The wood and glass villa with it's luxurious cozy vibe left us totally rejuvenated. Loved the warm staff esp. Sagar who pampered us like family. And chef johnny treated us to some amazing vegetarian food. Regret our short stay and can't wait to go back to aranya vilas.
