Bhanwar Vilas Palace

During our stay, we were lucky enough to be the only ones staying here! We had a fantastic experience.||Staff - friendly, helpful and attentive, always working their hardest to ensure we had a great stay. ||Cleanliness - everything was sparkling clean, nothing in our room was dirty at all. ||Food - I cannot recommend the food enough! It was all buffet style, freshly cooked. The breakfast was amazing, consisting of things like jams, toast, eggs, banana bred, juice etc, and dinner and lunch were the same - fantastic quality of food. ||Hospitality - Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, had our bags bought up to our room and enjoyed a welcome drink too. The staff ensured we were comfortable and had everything we needed. ||Activities: |Sari draping - this was great fun at a very reasonable price! |Camel cart riding - lovely tour around the village and markets, and well worth visiting the palace also. |Massage - very good quality for very reasonable price ||Overall, if you are thinking about staying here, then book it! Thank you to all the wonderful staff who made our stay so memorable.

This was absolutely gorgeous here. Karauli and the Bhanwar Vilas Palace you should not miss on your Rajasthan journey. What a great hospitality! We are very much impressed!

We were very warmly welcomed at Bhanwar Vilas Palace which is a lovely old palace. We only stayed 1 night during our tour of Rajasthan in December 2024, but enjoyed an excellent dinner and hearty breakfast in the large, richly decorated dining room. The service is really excellent. |Our room was large, very clean and quiet, with rather old-fashioned bathroom fittings.|We had the opportunity to chat with the prince in the evening around a brazier. It was a very pleasant moment.|With a Bhanwar Vilas Palace employee, we visited the magnificent city palace, one of the oldest in the country, and the adjoining temple.

Just a one night stay here, as part of a group tour. Lovely old hotel but very dated |The rooms are huge! Shower didn’t work, but we still had a nice time and the local town and temple was a very exciting experience|The Maharaja and the prince made an appearance, but we didn’t get to speak to them

Nice rustic location, my room was quite nice but some of the people from the group were unsatisfied with the rooms. The garden was great, the service impeccable. In the evening they put some fires in the garden because it was quite cold outside and the atmosphere was great!

Such an amazing place, full of whimsy and beauty and history. It's truly a hidden gem in all of India that cannot be missed. If you are in Delhi or going to see the Taj Mahal, make a little detour and see the real parts of India! The beauty and the history is unmatched. ||Within every nook and cranny of this palace is details of art and design and fashion that is incredibly unique. The hosts are amazing and some of the nicest people I have ever met.||The food was some of the best I had in all of India - home cooked, fresh and delicious!||As a world traveler that has been to many places, I cannot recommend enough Bhanwar Vilas Palace.||The location is great with many temples, safaris and other things to do. The Karauli Palace is breathtaking, go early in the morning for sunrise or go for sunset, both spectacular.||I had the most amazing time with a really great person and these memories will stay with me forever, I already miss this place and her. THANK YOU BHANWAR VILAS FOR SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MEMORY!

WOW is all I can say. I've stayed at many places all across the world and seriously this is AMAZING. Stepping into the majestic palace at Bhanwar Palace is like walking into a fairytale, at times I felt like I was in a Wes Anderson movie! Such a stunning palace captivates every visitor with its enchanting charm and whimsical beauty. Each nook and cranny whispers tales of the past, transporting you through time and allowing you to walk the halls of history. The royal family, who are the gracious hosts, passionately share captivating anecdotes and historical insights that breathe life into the marble walls and vibrant gardens and handpainted decor. The location is amazing as it is near many other religious sites and palaces. And did I mention the food was also amazing? Some of the best I had in all of India. Highly recommend this hidden gem!

What a magnificent stay! I arrived to a welcoming staff, and a historical, welcome with a drink, flower garland and Bindi.||My room was fantastic. It was the suite and originally the private suite of the current owners grandparents.||Speaking of the owners, I was able to spend 20 minutes in conversation with Miss Singh, she spoke, the history made some offers as to additional visits that unfortunately, I was not able to participate in due to my schedule and she was genuinely interested in the details of my trip around Rajasthan. She provided information about some of the places that I was going to stay in on my tour. ||Additionally she was very visible, making sure that all of the guests were taken care of, and evening meal preparations. All while showing the family living room full of historic artifact, reviewing the homework of her daughter, and keeping a very young son out of mischief.||I had hoped in all of my planning to visit historic properties such as this palace, and to meet with the owners many who are the current generation to live and work in a property like this, came to fruition in this particular stay stay.||The grounds were beautiful, the meals perfect, and the staff skilled and attentive.||It was fantastic.
