One of the worst decisions was to book a weekend getaway at Our Native Village Eco Resort. My wife and I had made a booking at this resort but fell sick the 36 hrs before the trip. We wrote and called them asking if the booking could be refunded, they said it's not possible because it's a weekend, it's their prime slot and many others would have been denied of this room. This was untrue, I then pointed out that there were still rooms available. Then they said "industry has been the worst hit of all for the last two years due to the pandemic...". Which is understandable. So I asked if it could be rescheduled instead of cancelled. I said I'm fine with any day, even a non-peak weekday. They flatly refused. They write and advertise like they are "in touch with nature" and "homely" but behave like a soulless corporate. Given that we are still in the pandemic and any of us can fall sick anytime, I recommend not wasting your money here. Book here as a last resort on the day of travel, cause the rooms are always available. Inhumane and money minded!

A weekend getaway from Banglore, this place is amidst the lush greens. They have a huge park where many activities were available for kids and adults. Cycling, bullock ride and pottery definitely were my favourite amongst many regulars like badminton, cricket, etc. The food was average and the staff was polite. The spa was highly priced so opted out. At the entrance the check in could have been smooth. Roads were muddy for 4 km drive carefully.

The place is pathetic with sad amenities. After availing the spa service we did not even have warm water leave alone hot water for a shower. We were a family of four members with two four year old kids. With kids around our stay became all the more miserable. The bath towels we had in our rooms were nauseatingly stained to our surprise. The electrical plug points either don’t work at all or are insanely loose. The food is not at all worth the money with poor taste and below average quality , the kitchen staff left the containers empty and hesitated to refill it at buffets.The last bit of the road to resort is terrible with rains and potholes. The staff and management looked helpless when approached with a complaint. They neither had a solution to the grievances from guests nor had a suitable explanation. The room beds were sized for midgets (the pics are misleading on google page) not worth the money charged at all. Regret considering this place for a weekend getaway.. would never recommend this place even to my enemy . Thumbs down to this place. Disappointing to have spent money and time on this place

Our Native Village is a resort that’s situated at the outskirts of Bangalore. The place seemed to be in the middle of nowhere… getting there was a hassle honestly. We thought we were lost! The rooms were really dirty. I get that it’s eco friendly but to have red mud stuck on your feet it’s not a good feeling. The washrooms were a disaster! It was just old and rusted and leaking to say the least. Very very unhygienic. Wear your slippers inside the room as well. They say it’s “pet friendly” but really, it’s just pet tolerant. There was no separate bed/ bedding for my dog and no separate pool for pets. The surrounding places were natural and beautiful I have to agree. As for the food, the lunch was good and dinner was good too. But the breakfast was not good. Overall rating: 2/5

Not a good place. Very expensive. Too many hidden charges. When we booked the tickets, price was different and when we checked in, they forced us to take a gala dinner which is 4k per couple. We opted for al a carte as per the choice specified on website. Ultimately we had no choice but to end up paying another 4k for a normal meal. The location is so far away from the city that you don't get any online food orders delivered as well. Food choices were v minimal. If you are looking for a good place and nominal price, this is definitely not a good choice.

It's a Lil different place, away from the hustle bustle of the city yet not very far. Good place to spend one night with your friends and family. Although food had limited options but it was very very tasty, no room service was available due to the weekend crowd. Few negatives are, the activities like rides, swings etc were not at all maintained. When we got into the swimming pool it was pretty clean but we didn't see anyone cleaning the pool the next day,so it became lil dirty due to too much of a rush. The route is fine but one stretch is not very great due to some ongoing construction work. The staff is very courteous and we'll behave. Overall a good place to consider for a day outing followed by a night stay if you would like to experience a serene village kind of atmosphere.

The location is awesome but try to avoid visiting in rainy season as the last stretch of 4km is completely muddy road. And the road quality is also not good at all Room was awesome and well maintained. Even swimming pools/ grounds were also well maintained. The only challenge is: During weekend they wont provide foods in room. That may be because of the heavy crowd as in weekend they mostly go full. The food quality is also awesome. You will get ample options from both: veg and non-veg (chicken or egg only). Overall: a highly recommended place while you want to live a peaceful day on the lap of mother nature keeping your phone and laptop away.

Visited in August 2023. The rooms need immediate attention and maintanence.. otherwise all good. Had a very relaxing weekend with family. Many activities to keep you busy, good for children and old people.. the food tasted yummy.. 6 stars for the chef

This is an ideal destination for eco-conscious travelers seeking an authentic and responsible retreat. A great opportunity to unwind and connect with nature! The rejuvenating spa and refreshing pool, simple food options and the scenic drive to this place all add to the experience!

I'm disappointed with this over-hyped place. Rooms are good Food is just average. However on Friday/Saturday/Sunday for lunch it's only a buffet. Which is forcing people to eat only from the buffet and it's not value for money. Service is good. Swimming pool was dirty. Kids cycles are not working properly. Activities wise it's bare minimum.

This was the WORST decision ever made in booking a place to visit. If I had to use one word to describe the place, it’s DILAPIDATED. It was built ages ago (with a very bad design idea) and then never maintained. Everything looks worn down and dirty and old. The owners or whoever have just wasted a LOT of land. Which is criminal in itself. The place should not charge more than INR 2500 for a room, INR 450 for food Buffet and INR 1500 for the most expensive spa treatment. Wifi doesn’t work in the rooms at all. There is no road to reach the place. DO NOT believe the good reviews, these are by people who have either no taste, have never seen anything good or are all fake reviews. I would give a negative star if I could. The place should shut down. Immediately. The only good thing, which I am forced to write is the behaviour of the staff. It’s none of their fault and they tried their best. Tripadvisor has been either hoodwinked or bought by these people. Better they use the money to fix up the property.

We had a pleasant one day stay at the resort. We booked the zen delux room. It was spacious enough for four of us and our pet. My daughters enjoyed playing basketball, cricket and badminton while our pet had his share of fun too. The farm animals there add to the rustic feel of the place. The food at the resort was simple yet perfect. The staff were hospitable and ensured we were comfortable. There is a natural pool at the resort which we did not access as the weather was not conducive. The approach road to the resort is a mud road for about 3kms (off the main road). During rainy season, it could be challenging. Google maps may mislead you. There are signages put which you need to follow. Ms. Suma from the resort was very helpful in guiding us with the right directions. Overall we had a good experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quick getaway.

Nice place to hangout with family. Good that they are not entertaining outside parties which makes family people stay comfortably. Good Village vibes and eco friendly. Lot of activities to spend time. One suggestion is they should maintain food menu with prices as u ll not be knowing how much they are charging for which food. Food menu also helps in choosing the food for room service. Thank you.

Pretty decent place to spend a day with friends and family. They served good food that is all inclusive in the price we paid for. We played cricket, lagori, catapult, horse riding and bullock car ride. Swimming pool is decent as well. Overall it was quite relaxing and enjoyable. The only downside is that the location is pretty remote and Google maps showed the wrong location. We wasted close to 20 mins trying to find the right entrance. The road that leads to the resort is also pretty bumpy and narrow for close to 2-2.5kms.

This place was soooo peaceful, near Bangalore only. The food was good, the staff were humble. Rooms were clean with quick service. Road was bit adventurous but overall good place to spend weekend with your family for relaxing and refreshing your hectic weekdays.

Below average place, food tasted ok. Rooms are not good, there is a damp smell in the room and bathrooms have no shower curtain or partition so water gets everywhere. Nothing noteworthy experience so below average resort there are better places nearby.

Went here to celebrate my mother's birthday. Was an amazing experience. Got great service and the food was amazing. Anurag especially took really good care of us. This is a great place to bring pets. Highly recommended. Will visit again.

Good resort for team outings. However management needs to fix the maps direction. It’s pet friendly too. Food was oily. Overall a decent stay.

Good place to hang out with family for a night. Given 3 stars as bathrooms were not so clean, tap broken. Very good service, staff are very friendly. Last 2 to 3 kms stretch of the road to resort is really bad. Can include more activities within package instead of charging separately, that too charges are little high. Crowd management over the weekend can be better.

The food menu is way too expensive for that location. 800 rs for lunch buffet. Bonfire was good. Pets are allowed with an expense of Rs.1000 with food and 650rs without food.

The place is good one to relax. Worth visiting atleast one time. Rooms require refurbishment. Less staff, hence delayed service.

Reaching there is difficult by gmap, however if you ask people nearby they will guide you. Last 4km read is not good and should be avoided during rainy season. Rooms are spacious and maintained, resort has few games but don't have high expectations. Good if you just want to chill and relax with your friends and family. Food is good. Mocktails are not good. better u order coke. In an average u ll have good experience.

Extremely overpriced for the kind of services and maintenance. Pool is not cleaned properly and has moulds all around. Food buffet is ok. Rooms are not very good according to price. Mantainence could have been much better.

Incredible, calm, serene place. What a relief to the eye from the city's hubbub. The food is undoubtedly delicious, with ingredients home grown- and served with even more love. The best part is the staff and their hospitality. Upendar was a great tour guide and made us feel very at home.

Its a nice place to have a very relaxed weekend. Food was tasty. Swimming pool was good. But nowadays the resorts that are available make the surrounding, architecture and landscapes very interesting compared to that this place it's very simple and kinda reminds you that you're at some relatives house and not in some resort which didn't work for me personally. But their service & food were great, no complaints.

Not that easy to locate the place and the way to the entrance is quite rough. The place & ambience inside is quite the opposite. Very serene. We didn't stay here, but just had the lunch buffet which was really good.

Had an amazing day picnic at ONV this sunday. The place is well maintained with good amenities in a rustic fashion. Reminded me of the good ol'days from when we were kids and played all sorts of games on the streets or neighbourhood grounds. Coming to the hospitality, from the front desk to the butlers, all were so polite and always ready to help. Food was also good. Keep up the good work......

Had a very good time here at the Native Village. The review applies to a family/friends travelling with toddler children. 1. The food was good and tasted fresh, although it was more or less a common menu across the couple of days we stayed here 2. The place is large and they have a large swimming pool and play area for kids including a large sized trampoline. Our toddler kids loved this and could spend the whole day here. Also the bonfire. 3. They have cycles and other activities too 4. Somehow the two days we were here flew by and it was time to leave, my toddler wanted to stay at Native Village always. 5. Very friendly staff 6. Very accomodative staff. Even when there was no poori in the buffet menu and I requested for it for my toddler, they made pooris for us. Several such small experiences made the interactions with the staff very nice, a big thank you to the staff for that. 7. Something about the 'homeliness' of the place makes all the guests start interacting with each other easily. I've been to bigger resorts where there is a more 'hoity toity' (for lack of a better way to say it :p) feeling you get amongst the guests, but here most people were talking to each other. That was nice. Cons: 1. Can do a lot for upkeep, the place is getting rundown and has the look of no supervisor who looks at it from the customer's eyes to maintain upkeep. Trampoline, though still sturdy has holes, the protective netting is torn and accidents are waiting to happen here. 2. The cost and spread of the buffet for the 770 rs charged foes not match. Considering that in Bangalore i would get a much larger spread at a buffet for 770, this feels overpriced. That said, food is good 3. The loud music played on the speaker when the bonfire is lit at the end of every day blaring into the quiet night should definitely be optional and put up only on request. Complete cacophony and i really wonder who enjoys loud music or average grade speakers blaring into a quiet night, the irony being that most people have come here trying to talk to friends or family and get away from the noise of the city

So close to Bangalore, yet far away from the chaos of the city! Location is great with farm lands surrounding it and with quite some greenary. They have an authentic Indian country-side touch to it - true to its name - we can relate to our native villages. Food and service was top notch as well. Great place for a quick escape from busy lives.

A Memorable Adventure at the Enchanting Resort I have visited an amazing resort that provided a bumpy yet worthwhile journey of 3 kilometers. The highlight of the trip was engaging in pottery making and enjoying a charming Bullock cart ride. Staff's behaviour was good. Overall, it was a fantastic one-day trip for our company, leaving us with unforgettable memories. Highly recommended!

Overall, it was a pleasant experience. Despite the short length of my stay, I would definitely return. One thing to keep in mind is that this is a pretty remote area, so if you intend to visit, make sure you have a car. Otherwise, you will have to rely on the resort's cab service. There is no uber or ola service. Other than that. Good vibes and good cuisine. You can travel here with your family to experience native culture.

A weekend getaway from Banglore, this place is amidst the lush greens. They have a huge park where many activities were available for kids and adults. Cycling, bullock ride and pottery definitely were my favourite amongst many regulars like badminton, cricket, etc. The food was average and the staff was polite. The spa was highly priced so opted out. At the entrance the check in could have been smooth. They provided us two rooms, diagonally opposite and were okay. The staff took too long than the checkin time to allot the rooms. Considering our travel was on Christmas, the services were okay.

The stay was good. My kid enjoyed the place and played around a lot. We enjoyed the hospitality and food too. I wandered out a bit to catch sight of peacocks and the security helped as well. The staff is very friendly that way .. The rooms stay pretty cold during the day as well, so it's better to have those extra layers of clothing all the time. I felt the hot water wasn't really hot to take a shower, so skipped the shower.

Good place to visit. You will have bumpy ride of about 3km before you reach to resort. Pottery making and Bullock cart ride makes younger once exciting. We had two rooms and both bathroom taps were dripping. Staff behaviour was good.

Very very poor service in terms of Management, no hot water in shower and when we called since 5 am we were told it will come , but nothing came. Throughout the day there is no hot water at all. No one answering phone at reception from 5.30 am to 8 am. We asked for hot water and they gave a hot water heating element at 9 am after calling since 5 am. Extra bucket was given but it was found that extra bucket was used to mop the floor. It wad very dirty and unhygienic. Food taste was ok. Restaurant service good but food was cold. Asked for refill of dry chicken but was told we are bringing but was never brought. No soaps in bathroom. Overall, not a nice resort and no value for money. Suggest people not to waste their money to go there. Please don't go to this resort. Rather stay at your home. 1q

We visited for a team outing. The location is away from the city. Resort is built using principles of sustainability hence luxury is not the primary goal here. Greenery and open air features make it a refreshing break from the city. Pool is good and food is just about okay though seems to be made using fresh ingredients. The rooms were a bit of a let down though big in size, some of the features seem to be dated. The toilet seeling was dripping water.

The team of both waiters and all other staff were extremely accommodating of my reactive dog which made the day truly memorable and enjoyable for myself and my team during a day trip. They handed him an old ball to chew on on the lawn and gave him space throughout the day so he was significantly more comfortable than he is otherwise. Very kind hospitality and patience.

Nice place for one night stay. The red soil & the soil smell will be there everywhere. You will get the village feel with the board games & the surroundings.. less crowded & very Peace full. The food was great. 5 star to the staff for making a comfortable & pleasent stay. With smile on their faces, they have been really very impressive in their service. Felt a bit pricey. But, Overall it's a good experience. * Route is not clear on maps. Struggled a bit while going there. @resort should keep more direction boards.

This place is best for those people who are looking for a place to chill down and enjoy the nature away from the city chaos. The staff are polite and helpful. There is a limited option for food but whatever you get is tasty. The door games are not well maintained but it isn't a huge deal as the environment around the resort itself will keep you mesmerized during the entire stay. the rooms are beautiful and cosy. Overall a nice one night stay, hoping to visit it again.
