Guest Reviews

• Monique (9/5): Chalet ds 1 havre de verdure - Le style chalet ds 1 beau jardin, avec restaurant et room service. Calme et bcp d.oiseaux. Un peu loin du centre à pied, mais pour les marcheurs c’est ok.
• regis (9/5): Châlet dans un cadre reposant. - L'emplacement, le cadre paysagé, les chalets en Bois, le personnel très attentionné, site paysagé agréable et reposant. Le lit dure, oreiller dur, salle de bain sans étagères , terrasse exigue avec chaise peu confortable, Salle de restauration sans attrait mais compensée par un room service performant et attentif.
• Nathalie (7/5): Bien, je recommande - Très joli endroit, bien situé personnel chaleureux Le lit, pour les adeptes des lits durs c’est parfait
• Chellaiya (10/5): A perfect and relaxing stay with excellent service and ambiance. - Everything about the stay was perfect! The property is beautifully maintained with a calm and relaxing ambiance. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The staff was extremely courteous and attentive, making the entire experience seamless. The location is also great for a peaceful getaway. Nothing to complain about—everything was well taken care of.
• Remeche (10/5): Accueil très chaleureux. Personnel très à l'écoute. - 3 Bassins de piscines pour les petits et grands. Un espace jeux pour les enfants et pour les adultes. Vélos à disposition. Incroyable collection de perroquets dans une volière. On reviendra pour visiter les sites placés au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco.
• Nicholas (7/5): -
• Erich (8/5): -
• Gwendoline (10/5): - Quiet & peaceful resort A little far from town centre
• shankar (9/5): - Pool, Cycling and Birds were attractive and a new thing in resort Insects were too much
• Didier (10/5): Bel établissement - Le concept bois et l’environnement est charmant Manque cruel de prises de courant
• Susmita (9/5): We are very happy to stay there - The ambience. Whoever has designed tbe resort bas a decent taste Birds are exceptional. Service could be better
• Abarna (9/5): - Calm and convenient.
• Lilly (10/5): Stay was very good, excellent staff. - Breakfast options were good and tasty.
• Phil (8/5): - Location, gardens, accomodation Continuous loud buzzing . No hot water for the shower.
• Christopher (6/5): Poor value for money - Spacious and comfortable room. Nice swimming pools. Disappointing breakfast and unreliable hot water (it runs out quickly). The aviary was concerning, with birds that appeared visibly ill. The hotel is far from town. When asking the staff to book a rickshaw, we were quoted 800 INR, while arranging one ourselves on the street cost around 100 INR.
• Vivienne Lester (8/5): Friendly - Friendly and welcoming The clothes drivers outside spoiled the look of the place There wasn't hot water
• bertrand (8/5): Séjour agréable dans la nature - L’emplacement dans la nature à proximité des temples Les chalets en bois La volière Nous aurions apprécié un espace convivial à l’extérieur pour boire un verre le soir
• Radhakrishnan (10/5): Really liked our stay - The ambience the trees flowers and aviary Draining water after rain is not that great
• Sudhir Menon (9/5): Awesome , bird lovers and great stay - Staff was impeccable and down to earth the S R captain Hemanta and manager Rozario and Raj and Anjali at the front office was awesome the entire boys at housekeeping was brilliant . If you are parrot lover and looking at no nonsense property go for it Location was bit inside within a crowded entry
• Laurence (7/5): Mauvais rapport qualité prix - L accueil agréable Chalet mal insonorisé Manque d eau à la douche
• robert (8/5): - restaurant de qualite personnel attentionne manque massage
• Dagobert (1/5): Keine Empfehlung! Schlechte Preis/Leistung! - Das einzige war das Zimmer mit Ausnahme des Badezimmers. Hier gab es Stockflecken und das Holz war stellenweise morsch und faulig. Die bei Booking eingestellten Bilder entsprechen nicht der Wirklichkeit! Das Frühstücksbuffett bestand aus Toast, Butter- und Marmeladepäckchen (immer die gleiche Sorte) und Cornflakes. Es gab noch Omelette, der Kaffee (braunes Wasser) wurde nach dem Frühstück serviert. Der Kellner war gelangweilt und ohne Motivation. Für das Internet musste man sich jeden Tag neue Zugangsdaten besorgen. Es gab keine Getränke zum kaufen, Bier auch nicht und im Zimmer befand sich auch kein Kühlschrank. Der Pool war auch nicht einladend, da er etwas dreckig war.
• Stephan (10/5): More than expected - Very nice surrounding, Chalets were super nice.
• Mathias (8/5): -
• Pooja (9/5): It was very peaceful and comfortable stay - I love everything about the resort. It was spotless clean with nice and quick service. Staff was very nice and helpful. Food was awesome. My stay was very comfortable and they arranged the bday decoration for my kids bday and bday cake also. I like everything though but it will be good if they increase the food options.
• Sudeep (10/5): - Every second spend here We couldn't stay longer
• HN (10/5): excellent - The location was very nice Maintenance could be improved
• Vineet (2/5): -
• Sree Rama Aditya (9/5): -
• Balasubramanian (8/5): Good Stay. - The breakfast could have been better. The ambience and the variety of food was good. I feel they should enhance the quality of breakfast for the room rent paid. when we ordered the quality of food was really good and excellent. I feel parking is a part of stay and I think the question of parking at no cost shall not arise at all. The staffs were really good. Ms Devi. Mr. Prithivi Raj and Mr. Ranjith were kind enough while handling the clients. Overall it was a good stay. Still they can improve the facilities. Birds were the attractions of the resort, which was really nice. They can allow us to take picture withe birds. The staff needs to be trained well regarding customer needs.
• Charles (8/5): -
• Gopika (10/5): - Peaceful Ambiance, Good Food, Courteous Staff, Swimming pool, indoor games, kids' play area, and a bird aviary, cozy and clean cottages with scenic garden views. roximity to attractions like Mahabalipuram Beach and Shore Temple is a plus. Overall, Bodhi Woods Resort seems like a great choice for those seeking a relaxing, nature-filled stay in Mahabalipuram with good amenities for families Nothing to dislike.
• Naresh (9/5): -
• Frank (10/5): - Wij gingen elke dag naar de volière om daar de ara's, parkieten en de twee lieve kakatoes te bewonderen. Het personeel was zeer behulpzaam en het eten in het restaurant smakelijk. We hebben gebadmintond en gezwommen. Niets
• Frank (9/5): -
• Prashanth (9/5): -
• Shivaraman (9/5): - Excellent location, clean, neat rooms, polite staff.
• Shivam (5/5): -
• Ranjith (10/5): Amazing property and amazing experience for a 4 member family - Amazing property with a well maintained ambience. THe highlight was the hospitality and the bird park, and also we all loved the food. Amazing experience, especially since we were there off season, got to spend some ample time in the pool and explore other facilities. Senthil the bird care-taker was great in helping us understand about the birds and it amplified our experience. I just wish this property was a lil close to the beach. Anyways, you have a autorickshaw driver or cab just a call away, so no complaints cudve been closer to beach
• Umachandran (9/5): Superb -
• Vas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jose (8/5): Very good - Resort with bird aviary and cleanliness Food options very less. No toiletries like brush and paste. No cutlery provided for breakfast
• Bharti (8/5): Very good - Limited choice of food options
• Unithra (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ramapriya (7/5): Not maintained, hence unhappy with the stay - Nice small property. Green It is good, but room had lizard. Hot water not available. Pool was dirty, when asked to clean, no one responded.my son also spotted big frog in the restroom in the night. Could not sleep peacefully
• Sushil (8/5): Very good -
• Nimmi (7/5): Good - The wood cabins were nice The resort was very small, with limited activities to do, even for taking a simple walk it was too small.
• Manikandan (9/5): Superb -
• Carol (9/5): Pleasant stay for week day off with family - Lush green surroundings. The property was small. Since we went on a weekday there was no crowd. With crowd this place won’t be good. Food options are less.
• Tony (9/5): Friendly and not far out - Bodhiwoods is a very pleasant and friendly place just outside of the centre of Mahabs. The chalets are clean and comfortable and all of the staff are very helpful. Breakfast was huge and varied. It's a good place for families with It's pool, aviary and play areas but is also fine for solo travellers. A short walk into town but feels a way away from the noise and dust in the pretty garden.
• Ben (9/5): Superb -
• Ravi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vijayarangam (9/5): Superb -
• Can (6/5): Pleasant - There was a power cut for 4hours during our stay. We did like the food but the menu was very limited
• Dhiri (9/5): Superb -
• Suresh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Annu (7/5): Good - Property is good. It was a pleasant stay. We stayed for 1 night. Room were good and neat. Breakfast could have been better. Everything was cold. Staff was not understanding Hindi and English, so a bit tough to communicate.
• Mukunthan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anila (9/5): Superb -
• Russell (2/5): Big mistake - The garden benches Everything else In the middle of no where Room not serviced on second day Thin walls Shower flooded bathroom Hard bed Unexciting breakfast in bland restaurant No spare toilet roll. Took two requests to get more.
• Robert (8/5): A quiet but conveniently located choice. - Just out of town the Bodiwoods resort is quiet and yet within walking distance of the tourist attractions. The accommodation was a large pod type individual room with AC. The gardens created space to walk around and the aviary containing lots of parrots, macaws etc was a real bonus. The onsite restaurant produced a good breakfast with helpful staff and good European options on request. The swimming pool looked inviting but was too cold to make use of.
• Vgr (9/5): Superb -
• Kunal (9/5): Fantastic resort with good and clean rooms - Fairly new and well maintained property. Nice jungle themed resort with a small bird sanctuary. All the tourist destinations are within 1 Km Outside seating should be equipped with mosquito repellents
• Avi (7/5): Weekend getaway from Chennai / Vellore - Follow Google Maps. First, it's not a resort but a farm with wooden cottages. The reception desk is friendly and helpful. The wooden cottage was smaller than expected, but that was okay since we were staying for two nights as an anniversary getaway. It feels like an outhouse away from the maddening crowd of the city. It is best for families with toddlers, primary schoolers, or the elderly. It may be a bit too quiet for families with teens and couples seeking adventure. Overall recommended. The huts next to the reception are small and too close together. The commercialization of the space has diminished privacy. The food menu needs to be revised, and the preparation is average. Breakfast is ok
• Shreya (8/5): Very good -
• Rachel (9/5): A Swiss cottage in India - Everything was very clean There was a huge bird aviary. It was beautiful We had to take a cold shower as there was no hot water
• Lakshmi (10/5): Excellent breakfast and comfortable stay. - Excellent breakfast and comfortable stay.
• Gautam (9/5): Superb - Their Staff is pretty hospitable. Their service is excellent. We had a toddler with us and they made our stay comfortable. Food is good. The surroundings and rooms are near and clean. Its recommended. The water pool needs some regular attention for pulling out leaves. Apart from that it's all good.
• Kumar (9/5): Superb -
• Sivakumar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dr (9/5): Superb -
• Sanjay (8/5): Very good -
• Jean-christophe (7/5): Nice for a stop in Mamalapuram - Clean small resort just outside the main city. N/A
• Raji (10/5): Exceptional -
• Asokan (9/5): Superb -
• Ganesh (1/5): Bad - Nothing Rooms were very small and the property is very congested. There were not enough activities and not a interested place to visit.
• Lokesh (9/5): Superb -
• Ketan (8/5): Nice small hotel, needs better proactive staff. - It’s as good as shown in pictures. But the rooms needs addnl furniture. Staff was rather cold. Food was also ordinary, Not bad but surely can use a lot of improvement.
• Dharani (9/5): Overall, we had a great time and wished we could have stayed on for an extra day. - The property was beautiful. The rooms were very well maintained and comfortable. The aviary was wonderful with a lot of exotic parrots. They accommodate our special requests for the kids’ meals. The reception staff were extremely helpful too. Due to the rains, the pools had some debris. While the restaurant menu was limited, the food was really good and the staff were very helpful.
• Vas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joshi (9/5): Superb - The place of the resort was amazing. There were many activities to do. The staff was very courteous. The food was also delicious. It was a beautiful experience. Outdoor games equipment should be upgraded and restaurant management can be improved.
• Saradha (10/5): Memorable stay- relaxed - service was prompt. staff were very friendly. property had thoughtful planning. it was an activity oriented, engaging place spice levels for dinner could be less. food other than breakfast takes a lot of time to be served . pool can be cleaner.
• Mohan (8/5): Very good -
• Guna (1/5): Bad - Calm and near to temple. It's not big place to roam, Limited area. Price of the rent is not matched the facility of the room. Swimming pool is dirty and my kid got skiln allergy so be careful on that. In my opinion For the price it's not worth it's over priced.
• Syed (7/5): Good - Staff's response Room bathroom size
• Nancy (10/5): BRILLIANT STAY: WOULD RECOMMEND - The property is clean and the staff are very helpful. The ground outside is very comfortable and clean. There is space for everyone and a beautiful swimming pool for all the enjoy. THE FOOD: I was waaaoh about the food I had to ask to see the chefs. The food was so lovely especially the rice, fish, fresh salad which was very beautifully presented. I definitely want to stay here again.

• Deepika (9/5): Superb -
• Tamil (10/5): Best Chennai stay experience - Peaceful isolated location with an individual wood villa type stay experience and the food with all the extra amenities provided Shower area and the toilet commode dividing wall glass actually restricted a lot of my functions since I'm a big guy
• Bhavika (10/5): Exceptional - Everything I liked about this property. Be it location reachablity to other walkable major attractions, Room, Cleanliness, amenities provided and srrounded by nature. Would highly highly recommend this property.
• Murali (8/5): I feel booking.com unnecessarily hype the property and fools the customer - The property is small but cozy. Food was reasonably good. Room was clean. Every day I was getting message both through WhatsApp and mail stating that my payment has failed and my booking is not confirmed, even though the condition while booking was “payment on arrival, while checking in”. Even though I called them and complained, still it continued. I was told that they are automated messages. However it was really irritating.
• Sharmistha (7/5): Good - The plumbing was faulty…the toilet flooded at night and also in the morning…the good thing was it was immediately attended to by the staff.
• Priya (8/5): Very good -
