Jungle Hut, Masinagudi

Great location. Great food.

Extremely rude management staff. Very biased. Have traveled globally. I can only see rude behavior like this in India cos of misconceptions. They are very rude.

We really loved the hospitality! The food was par excellence each day! The whole ambience and kindness of all the staff spoke volumes of the establishment. Tracey and Gibran went out of their way to help us and we were really grateful for a peaceful, joyful and fun holiday with the kids. Mr Rohan Mathias engaged us in meaningful conversations which were personal and he took the time to be warm and friendly each day. Went via the property for the safari and got really lucky and sighted a leopard. At the property itself, we got to see plenty of wildlife. Our kids were thrilled to bits with the place!

There was no intercom facility and if the books in the kids area could be arranged such that it’s possibly age segregated would be great.

Location great, staff excellent , food great, pool lovely and welcome in the heat, massage amazing, nature walk fabulous, room comfortable. Thank you.

Excellent managers! Very responsive and professional - a perfect blend of efficient and friendly, with a constant eagle-eye on their staff and guest experience. All the food was delicious, always hot and frequently replenished with superb choices. Beautiful, peaceful, unpolluted location with just the sound of birdsong in the air.

View from our room wasn’t the best as it was facing towards the dining room & reception area. Other rooms had views across the mountains.

The location of Jungle Hut was really special - quiet, near to nature and with fantastic views. Staff were all great and keen to help us enjoy our stay to the full. There were lots of activities on offer, from bird-watching to a trip into the Tiger Reserve. The room was very comfortable and well equipped. We stayed in one of the luxury tents, which really made us feel like we were on safari! There was a lovely sense of privacy, as the huts and tents were well spread out around the resort. Food was wonderful, lots of variety and high quality - we ate well every day and for every meal. The whole atmosphere felt adventurous, yet safe. We felt we were staying within a local context, as opposed to a faceless international resort.

There was nothing we didn't like.

amazing location. comfortable. staff is amazing. food is good.

washroom is a bit smelly.

This family managed property looks after their guests very well. The location is awesome and cottages are well maintained. They even prepared separate vegan meals for us. Overall, a pleasant experience.

The location of course! The food! All day sitting in the balcony we can see deer and monkeys. It was just wonderful!

The Wifi only really worked in the lounge, perhaps some improvement could be made on that.

All the staff were excellent Property Manager Anikend was very warm and helpful making sure everything was arranged .

The indoor facilities needs upgradation else not much activities on a rainy days and food choice need have more variety ( breakfast was good ) however staying for 3 /4 days lunch and dinner looks to be more of rountine.

Extremely comfortable and it had all the amenities.The food was outstanding and the entire staff and crew were so efficient and friendly

Jungle hut is home away from home for us. This is the second time we are visiting and as always had a wonderful time. Special thanks to Aniket, Ghibran and Tracy along with their wonderful staff for taking care of us . Special thanks to Charles , Rajesh and Chandrika for their services . We will plan to visit once again ☺️

Na

Location amidst the nature

Not much facilities to enjoy Plus the cost per night is very high compared to facilities

Amazing! My room was lovely and clean and spacious. Comfortable bed, good shower with hot water, lush soaps, fan, A/C and a kettle to make tea or coffee. The terrace was perfect. I loved sitting out here with the view of the Nilgiris listening to the beautiful birdsong. Spotted deer wandered the grounds and I also caught sight of monkeys, different species of birds and one morning lots of wild boar! The pool was lush too. There was an amazing buffet laid out for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A good variety and delicious! The staff were really friendly and so helpful with planning activities and organising transport. I enjoyed massages, nature walks, birdwatching, a trip in and around Ooty, the elephant camp and two safaris where I got lucky and saw tigers and elephants amongst other wildlife! This was the perfect place to relax and unwind and ideal for a lover of wildlife. Such meditative surroundings. Thank you to all the staff for a fabulous, memorable stay!

The location is very scenic and the cottages were neat and comfortable, the food is delicious and staff was very courteous, the swimming pool is very well maintained, overall enjoyed the stay and looking forward to visit again.

May be few outdoor games like slides and see-saw for kids can be introduced.

The place, food and atmosphere

We were asked at least twice by the staff if we were bringing kids along. It's a weird question to asks guests and it's not OK to assume that partners have to have children so please stop asking guests if they are bringing children especially if there was already an option to choose this in the booking. Also, I mentioned we were reaching at 3 pm to check in to which I got a reply 'oh ok'.

Main road safari and birding walk with highly knowledgeable and courteous guide Mr Rajesh was incomparable and was delightful. We had excellent sighting everyday. Food preparations and non-repeating veg and non-veg menu was tempting and added with excellent weather, resulted in overeating for all of us. Entire staff was highly cooperative and always smiling, in spite of language problem. We would love to visit the place again

Nothing. It is extremely difficult to point out even a single item or occasion.

This is the best vacation my parents and I among the several we took in the last 5 years. The resort has a rustic charm to it, the grounds and room are well maintained. You get to see deers, wild boars and langur monkeys within the property. Tracy and Gibran helped us with all our trip planning and any special requests we had for our elderly parents during our stay. All the support staff were amazing and helpful in every way. Thank you Jungle Hut for the wonderful memories, will definitely visit again.

Everything was perfect. I decided to go here after reading all the amazing reviews about this place, vibe, hospitality and food. And it did not disappoint :) The deers are everywhere!! We opted to go for the bird watching activity and the guide was extremely well versed with all the birds. They also have freshly made jams and pickles for sale. I love the fact that this place felt so homely and they employ the local folk from the nearby village. If you're lucky, you might end up spotting elephants or bears.

Everything was perfect!

Location in the middle of the buffer zone enables the sighting of wild life within the Jungle Hut area (elephants, bear, deer and so on)! Staff is so helpful and customer-oriented. From the guards, to the restaurant employees to the hosts - everyone is extremly friendly! They have a very good bird-specialist with whom you can go on interesting walks. Food is really delicious. The perfect place for a carefree package!

There was a all day and almost all night celebration going on at the temple next to Jungle Hut with very very loud music.

I’ve stayed a total of 4 nights at Jungle Hut following the good reviews of this place. Since the first minute after my arrival I felt very warm welcomed and part of the “family”. This place is such a great experience, people are so helpful and kind, surrounded by a fantastic nature and mountain view as well as animals like deer’s and langur monkeys just in front of your bungalow. The rooms are very clean and functional nice (not a given in India) and the food is just terrific ! My recommendation - jungle hut safaris are the best choice- I ve made one with the government jeep going into the wild and 2 with Jungle hut on small narrow roads (2,5h). They reasonable priced, being well guided and you most likely will see elephants, peacocks and sometimes even more ?....as longest I am staying in India (expat), I will come back again next spring. Looking forward ?

nothing to add...
