Overall Ratings & Reviews The Earth At Ranthambore

Eco-friendly construction, excellent staff especially in the restaurant, delicious food, well maintained and just a few minutes drive to the entry gate to the core areas of the safari park.

Booked for a 2-day stay for us to do a Ranthambore safari. Chose this property due to pool, eco values and appearance. The good points: the pool is small, but nice. Grounds of hotel beautiful and well maintained, Vayu villa very nicely done. Outdoor shower was quite cool - a bit dirty (there was a storm on one night) but I guess that’s normal. The less good points: the Earth’s own website states it has a bar, but there isn’t one. ‘Under construction’ according to an embarrassed staff member. Except it isn’t. Can’t order alcohol in the restaurant, only on room service. Which is false advertising in my book. Restaurant is ok. Has lots of western cuisine options on the a la carte menu, many of which are not actually available when you order them, but there is always something available. When we checked in we were given a single A4 print out with details of the resort, activities/entertainment etc. but no map or explanation as to where we’d find these things. We had a driver who took us to the safari jeeps but this hotel is quite some distance from the village, so you are somewhat reliant on eating/staying in. This place is expensive compared to similar hotels in locality - £140 per night - for this price I’d expect a little bit more in terms of service/facilities.

The rooms were absolutely beautiful and super comfortable and the property itself is very lovely overall. The only things i really disliked were that the owner of the handicraft store on the property was extremely pushy and it made it quite uncomfortable as he was always around and would harass you to visit his store and then push you to buy something, and that it was difficult to get towels for the pool. When we asked for towels the worker said he had just laid all fresh towels on the chairs, but then later when we were still at the pool we watched him pick up the dirty towels, which people had used and moved into a pile on the ground (which very clearly indicates they were used since there was no basket or anything to put them in), and put them BACK on the chairs as if they were new and fresh. This really grossed us out and made us feel very uncertain about if the towels we had used were actually clean.

Wonderful, clean, great staff, good entertainment.

We stayed at the hotel for one night and our stay was very pleasant. I wish we could have stayed there little longer. The staff and the property are excellent. Great service and amenities.

We appreciated the unique buildings and gardon layout. The range of activities offered, astromony and a magician doing some clever tricks. The quietness, gentleness and organic feel enhanced the experience .AlsoThe high tea was lovely.

Very hospitable staff service, receptive to feedback. Excellent property. The mud houses kept it cool inside the cottages. Evening high tea with interactive arts and crafts for the guests makes it very unique. The entrance needs better signs and lights to direct in the dark. There is stagnant water around, which can give foul smell which they are trying to work on.

Amazing stay.

Comfortable eco hotel. In a lovely setting. It was very cold when we stayed so a heater in the room would have been good This is a DRY HOTEL, even though their website mentions bar and cocktails ( this should have been cocktails!) - so this is very deceptive. Staff friendly although rather disorganized . Seemed there were many at the reception desk all trying to do the same thing and when asked a question they got a little flustered . Food was nice

It’s a beautiful property with so much to do in between safaris. They help you coordinate your safari pick ups. The staff is so nice. There’s fun entertainment including a magic show every night. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. One note is if you’re coming in the winter like we did, bring warm clothes because the mornings are chilly

Incredibly beautiful place. Traditional and eco friendly. Food and hospitality are terrific. We had lots of wonderful entertainment organized by the staff. Your mud house residence is luxurious with all the modern amenities. It has a living as well as a backyard. The pathways are surrounded by rose bushes. It’s really a wonderful place.

Lovely grounds, amazing food, cool rooms, and lots to do. Definitely recommend it

Absolutely stunning hotel with beautiful rooms and gardens, perfect for a safari break as feels like something unique and rural rather than just another hotel. Pool a bonus. Negatives were food was ok but not amazing as I’d have expected given the rest of the place, and the internet was shockingly bad very patchy and could only get it in one spot while stood outside the restaurant. Also pigeons poo everywhere meaning the outdoor shower was covered in it so we didn’t want to shower in it. Shame as would have been a 5 star review if it wasn’t for the internet and pigeon poo!

Had a great stay at The Earth during our Tiger safari. The staff was attentive and helpful. The rooms were unique. Nice entertainment, spa, food was great! Dirty around the outside but not fault of The Earth.

We had a lovely stay at the earth hotel for 3 nights in October 2024. The accommodation was very comfortable and the food good. They even made us a birthday cake! The staff were super friendly and helpful. They’re even going to post items i left behind, back home to UK. I would thoroughly recommend!

FANTASTIC!! The Earth is in an ideal location. Short drive to RNP main gate for zones 1-5 and an interesting drive to the other zones. All easy. The hotel is beautiful. Lovely gardens which are very well maintained. There are 4 different types of chalets/rooms. We had Amber 1. Located near to reception and the restaurant. Perfect location. Loads of space inside, very well designed. Good space for suitcases and putting things. Comfortable bed. Large bathroom with good shower and lots of hot water. AC worked well as did fridge which was quiet and kept things really cool. Food excellent. Choice of local or international. Nothing too much trouble. Chef was frequently in restaurant to make sure everything was good! Lovely swimming pool area, pool very clean. In the evenings there was usually local live music which was tasteful and very enjoyable. Local crafts, tea and pastries and an evening large screen nature documentary. There is lots of choice in this area but I am so glad we chose The Earth. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you everyone!

Beautiful and mindful. Great food, special rooms, above all great service and will to help

Overall the earth is a lovely hotel however it does not have a bar and serve alcohol despite been advertised. The staff were useful and attentive however struggled with communication in English.

Loved our stay at Earth. Enjoyed the pool, massage in the spa, dinner service, family friendly nightly entertainment. The grounds were amazing and lived our sunrise and evening strolls smelling the fragrance from various flowers. Staff was amazing and our villa rooms were the perfect for our family of 5. Can’t beat the price!

This hotel was welcoming and peaceful. They have a problem keeping the pool clean, I guess it is due to being beside a nature reserve. Overall we found this a fantastic stay, the nibbles after the afternoon safaris are a great idea, and the magic show was very entertaining. We would only stay here if we went to Ranthambhore again.
