Loved it! It’s a totally secluded spot in the most beautiful location, beautifully designed (the natural granite pool a personal favourite) with the most attentive and charming staff imaginable - Vinay in particular. They arranged a great day trip for us to see Hampi, with superb guide Vijay and driver. Couldn’t have been better. Only wished we’d stayed longer..

The place is truly wonderful but some improvement is needed in several areas. Food, in particular breakfast (something sweet is totally missing), could be much better in quality and variety. Staff are courteous but could be more professional (e.g. no knocking on the room door to remind customers that breakfast or dinner closes in half an hour). Equipment could also do with some upgrade, for instance the AC, which is a bit old-fashioned and therefore very noisy, impacting on the quality of sleep. Given rates are quite high, even in low season, service and quality ought to be commensurate.

This is an incredible hotel with no wifi, no tv's and they don't serve alcohol or take credit cards! From the moment you arrive, you realise you have stepped into a very special place. Completely off the beaten track (literally), the rooms are spread out across the grounds and everything is done tastefully and feels like no expense has been spared. Our room, Croc Cottage has views out to the river (unfortunately we didn't see any crocs!) and prime position to watch the sunrise. A guide from the hotel took us to watch the sunset and if clambering over boulders and rickety bamboo bridges is your thing, don't miss it! At lunchtimes, you can only choose from the starters menu and everything we had was excellent with large portions, although the dinner buffet was also good, it wasn't quite at the same level. The swimming pool was really unusual as it is carved from a huge rock and a great place to cool down - just watch out for the monkeys!…

This place is truely in the lap of nature! Words fail to describe the stunning landscape of this property! The enigmatic and mystical rock formations we witnessed during the treks to the island and at the waterfall will be forever etched in our minds! The most magical riverbed rock formations which we are marvelling about even one week post return! This place is a must visit for anyone visiting Hampi! Please bookmark and bucketlist this gem of a place! Thanks to Vinay sir...manju and Masood bhai for all the help love and care during our stay! We will be back for sure! We were in the Otter cottage and it was the best base category cottage with river view and boulders all around!

The resort is fully integrated with nature but yet comfortable. Network coverage is non existent which adds to the experience of "getting away". Try and book the Sun, Croc or Star cottage as those have magnificent river and sunrise views. We actually saw a crocodile directly from one of the cottages! It is quite far from Hampi city so you need your own transport to get around but the drive is worth it. The resort takes you on a a few awesome treks nearby which is complimentary and a unique (paid) jeep safari over boulders which make the experience unforgettable. The food like everything else is basic but quite decent. I would suggest visiting Whispering Rocks (20 mins drive) for a great lunch/dinner. The manager Vinay is quite helpful in planning the sight seeing. Highly recommend staying here to feel fully rejuvenated!…

This very beautiful and unique resort is a must if you are visiting Hampi. The site of the resort is spectacular with all the boulders surrounding the area. The rooms are actually in boulders, they are very clean, private and comfortable. The restaurant is amazing, we enjoyed the buffets very much. We got to see a lovely sunset from the top of the hill overlooking the rice fields. The staff was beyond helpful and friendly. I strongly, strongly recommend this resort. We stayed for three nights and could have stayed longer.

All the glowing reviews of the place are true. I wanted to highlight one issue, there is no place for drivers to stay or eat. Since the resort is away from the town it is unreasonable to expect drivers to find a place. Also driver of our hired van, a thorough gentleman was mistreated for food. I hope the resort will fix this issue, otherwise the whole hospitality comes across as a farce. We stayed in KSTDC Almatti before arriving here, where they were very kind to give driver a bed and food (charged to us)

This is a wonderful resort with only 16 cottages and all spread out nicely across the property. The resort is on the banks of the river Tungabhadra with easy access to the Boulders and greenery all around. Rooms: we booked the CROC room for the 1st night and 2nd night we stayed in the Otters cottage due to the unavailability of the CROC room. The Croc room is premium and gives you a nice feeling, the flooring is beautiful, the bathroom and the doors are old traditional style. It has a balcony facing the river and an open Shower in the balcony. we loved the stay there. The Otter cottage comparatively is simply done but has its own charm. It's an individual cottage on the boulders and just a few meters away from the river. Food: The breakfast buffet and Dinner buffet spread is very nice. Food is tasty and not too spicy, we enjoyed it. Activities; We could not make it to the Sunset point on the boulders but we did the other 2 activities: Jeep Safari on Boulders and Rock formation tour next to the river. Some amazing pics we clicked on this trek on the rocks next the river. The jeep safari on the Boulders is something that one should not miss, what an amazing experience! its going to remain in our memories for ever. @Vinay, one suggestion, you should have someone video shoot this jeep ride from outside, we are really missing such a video now. Staff: Very very courteous and helpful. Vinay, the manager there is friendly and happy to guide you thru your stay. Overall a lovely experience staying at Boulders resort, would love to visit again.…

We booked the river side croc cottage. It was an excellent stay as the view was nice and food served was tasty. Vinay the manager and Kumar were excellent hosts. Property has unique attractions like boulder walk in to a stream, sunset point. Most unique experience is the climb of a raw boulder or rock using a jeep. Vinay took us on the ride and was a great experience. Will surely visit again.
