  • 3/5 Ajay D. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is surreal. The service is the best I’ve experienced. I took the honeymoon package. But I don’t recommend the package . U can book the activities separately. They charge too much for the package and u get only one safari morning with the package that too in the bus.i payed nearly 50k per day for the package but that’s not worth it. Other than that the place is very nice.

    A great resort with a range of activities available. Lovely rooms and good service. A very comfortable place we would be happy to return to - like the other Evolve Back properties - and would recommend.

    Really enjoyed this resort. Nice private villas with private pools. Great kids pool and main pool. Nice experiences, nice staff. Good food, good service. Very relaxing. Well worth the cost.

    Amazing hotel with great amenities. This is pretty far but worth the drive. You should try to spend at least 3 nights. Try the spa treatment, it was the best we had in India. Each room comes with a private pool. The inside design is very charming, with this open roof with a plant. Some rooms have double tile showers and some have one vinyl shower. Food is delicious, chefs are attentive.

    I was here with my husband for our honeymoon and I just had the most wonderful experience with this resort. The hospitality is outstanding. Staff members are very helpful, courteous and very well trained. We did boat safari and other activities here. We were able to see many creatures. Food is amazing and plenty of options are available for Vegetarian meals. Property is very well maintained. It was very mesmerising experience overall.

    Amazing property. Extraordinary experience. Hospitality at its par. We traveled here along with our three year old toddler and the head chef Mr Tapan made sure that she gets the same home style food cooked right on time. The property being so huge and in the middle of the jungle by the river is still very well maintained. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family and would love to come back soon. Thank you evolve back for all the amazing hospitality shown towards us.

  • 5/5 Pankaj J. 1 year ago on Google
    We are a family of three, including a 1 year old. We spent 3 nights here. The stay was fantastic, and the service was amazing. The staff are extremely friendly, and very proactive in terms of service and helpfulness. We stayed in a Pool Hut. The room was big, and comfortable. The hotel is pretty kid-friendly as they serve customisable food for infants, and it is complementary. The buffet spread for breakfast and dinner is also good. The only 2 downsides were: 1. The last 25 kms road to the hotel is terrible to drive on. If you are driving a sedan, you'll have to ensure proper angles else you'll scrape the underbelly of the car. 2. The ambience in the hotel, paths and restaurants was a bit dark for our taste. If you have elderly or kids in the group, you might want to switch on phone lights on the walkways.

    I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout my entire stay. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed. The bed was comfortable and I had a great night's sleep. The location was perfect, with easy access to public transportation and plenty of great restaurants and attractions within walking distance. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area and can't wait to come back again!

  • 2/5 Shrenik N. 1 year ago on Google
    We traveled recently on 17/10/22 to 19/10/22. We stayed in Pool hut. The property is fabulous and and stay area is also big and comfortable. The food ,chefs everyone were fantastic. Literally the chef would cook whatever you feel like eating. And trust me each and every dish was superb in taste. But there was a problem I found. Which was , we booked for the 2 course meal for 2 days for 2 of us and they there was also a room upgrade done, what happened here was that after we checked in the staff asked us to pay the entire money upfront. And she literally was waiting at our door steps until I cleared the amount. I asked the staff if it was okay for us to pay during checkout which is a major standard in all the reputed Hotel brands across the world but she was adamant that I clear the dues immediately after checking in and she took the money and then went out. I found it extremely shameful and embarrassing that Evolve Back being such a huge name does this. The people who stay here are not fraud that they would run out without paying. This is the only thing I found so bad, rest of the stay and other things are a experience one must have.

    Simply awesome. The place, the decor of the rooms, food, the BEST ever customer service. Nothing negative.. I have a suggestion (not a complaint) though..... keep the scriptures of all religions in the rooms, not just the Bible.

    It’s truly a pleasure to stay at Evolve Back. Our fantastic experience at the Coorg property 2 years ago is why we chose Kabini for our getaway this time. The staff members are attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Special mention for Chef Venkat, staff Alby, Neeraj, Logesh and the team. Another noteworthy mention goes to the naturalist, Abhi, who took us on a thrilling Jungle Safari. Abhi's knowledge and passion for the local wildlife and ecosystem is inspiring. Safari is must to do activity and it depends on your luck what animals you get to see. The resort itself was a haven of luxury and tranquility. The huts are beautiful with private pools and a serene atmosphere. We felt truly pampered throughout our stay, and every need was promptly attended to. Overall, Evolve Back Resort provides an experience that goes beyond just luxurious accommodation. The attention to detail, the commitment to personalized service, and the genuine care shown by the staff make it a truly exceptional destination. I highly recommend this resort to anyone seeking a memorable and extraordinary stay.

    Not everyday that you pay 30-40k to a place and come back satisfied. Worth visiting this place once. The staff are friendly to a point of guilt, and the nature surrounding is top notch. Plan about 2-3 months prior to get the rooms at lesser price. These guys really know what they are doing.

  • 5/5 Ismat G. 6 months ago on Google
    Wonderful experience. Everything was extremely Well managed- from the time we reached upto our departure. We loved everything!! Food- meals!! Breakfast and dinner were included in the package. Sumptuous buffet. Incredible array of dishes, for all palates and tastes. Attention to our requirements was meticulously given. Some of our group could not have spicy food, arrangements were made to have the less spicy versions served. The chefs-Nasir- head chef and Tapan took particular care to make our meal times amazing. The staff throughout the property were helpful, cordial and attentive. Made us feel like royalty! Located on the banks of the Kabini River, the surroundings are mesmerizingly beautiful. Totally relaxing, quiet and peaceful with the chirping of myriad birds from dawn to dusk along with the gentle lapping sound of water, it was a holiday which exceeded expectations of all. The layout of the common areas, reading room, infinity pool, dining areas provided for maximum visibility of the beautiful kabini river . The cottages are spread out over 15 acres, so well laid out that there is complete privacy provided to all visitors, never a feeling of crowding . We stayed in pool huts which were well appointed- the bathroom with the plants inside was delightful. The pool with jacuzzi effect was perfect for relaxing after the safaris. Filtered water machine in each room ensured we never wanted for drinking water. Fruits, sweets, biscuits, nuts and so much more were replenished daily. Many complimentary activities were provided- tribal dance, jungle walk, night walk, among others. Bicycles were free to use. Tribal village visit n bullock cart ride were chargeable. As we were leaving for the long drive back to Bangalore , we were given sandwiches n fruit n water for the journey ...totally won our hearts! Definitely want to come back ... We saw many birds n animals but will come back especially as we have to still see the big cats!

    A premium resort in an a fantastic location by the banks of the Kabini. The service, breakfast and dinner buffet spread and the swimming pools are top notch. While the room rates are steep - the experience matches it. Including lunch in the package might make it more attractive.

  • 2/5 Sharath K. 1 year ago on Google
    Lot of points are there to improve. -Connectivity to resort is too tiring from Bangalore.. After main road connectivity is very bad.. They can keep some off road bikes as a thrill and new business idea. -Rooms get disconnected with power when in rain (when i was there). -Very expensive rates.. Food, drinks, nature rides, rooms. You really need to be comparative with others and service. We can get better options and better quantity with this price. -If call for service.. Staff take ages to serve. (They said left staff .. Hmmm such a big resort you said and short staff ?? )

  • 5/5 Swati Suren P. 6 months ago on Google
    Top class service ..amazing eco-friendly rooms..close to nature. Delicious spread of Indian food. Loved appam n ragi puttu. Hassbrown n frech toast was too good. Dont forget to miss their Vaidyasala for amazing maßage n therapy.Thanks to Madhu n Divya for a awesome relaxing body massage. Till date my best resort i ever visit in India. Saraubh was too generous to make a baby food for my little girl with less spice. Overall had a wonderful experience here. What is missing is a day care for kids n more activities to keep them engage.

  • 4/5 Jacob P. 1 year ago on Google
    Had one of the best resort experiences here! Amazing, courteous, friendly & helpful staff who seem to be able to cater to any needs whatsoever. Have to mention Albin who took care of us the entire stay. Superb location intertwined in nature. Reading room, coy pond, museum, gift shop, kids pool, bicycles, gaming rooms are some of the amenities. Superb rooms with huge jacuzzi! Thoughtfully arranged pantry, French press coffee, snacks & mini fridge drinks, big screen TV, fruit bowl, sweets, drinking water, etc. The extra free complimentary activities like nature walk surpassed our expectations - the guide converted our mundane walk to one of mystery & adventure. Sunset cruise was nice - we saw elephants, wild dogs, crocodiles, deer, peacock & otters. However was expensive - around Rs2400 per head. Overall loved it!

  • 5/5 Nitin K. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best hotel to stay within budget. Staff is very good, polite and co-operative. Cleanliness is maintained not only in room but also in entire hotel. Other best thing about this hotel is food, it is really tasty with good quantity. We are pleased with the service we have received during our stay.

  • 5/5 Garima C. 6 months ago on Google
    It cannot get better for a luxury stay 5 hrs from Bangalore by road. On th banks of Kabini river it is one of the most scenic property. Hospitable staff and excellent amenities. Must visit place for enriching relaxing experience. Mr Tapan went out of his way to provide customized food for my parents. Go during winter for full blown river view and nature at its best, go during summer for safari at full glory. Our safari Hut had a Jacuzzi and bathtub with complementary snacks and hi tea. They provide complementary accomodation and food for drivers that's quite helpful.

    No words to explain ! What a lovely holiday!!!! Evolve back Kabini is a 10 star ⭐️ The whole team is exceptionally professional and stands out in their service. The rooms were very clean, the property was out of the world and the food was wonderful. The Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We felt like we were in a different world for two days. Can’t go without mentioning Mr.Shanmugham, the resort naturalist who accompanied us for the boat safari and the vehicle safari. Can’t thank him enough for the jaw dropping wildlife sightings. His knowledge and passion as a naturalist was amazing. Overall we had one of the best holidays ever. Thanks to EVOLVE BACK KABINI. ❤️ We are definitely revisiting with friends and family😊

    Excellent food, hospitality and ambience. Worth the experience. Chef Tapan was really amazing at surprising us with his custom made dishes and we were extremely happy with special dishes we got to taste made by him. The rooms are mesmerizing. Kid friendly and the view is extremely great. The pool reserve villa was the best..... Thank u to the entire team for giving us this beautiful memories.

  • 5/5 Nicole W. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful location. Very good service ! Nice Villas - some furniture needs a makeover. Kuruba Grill is very good. Main restaurant with the buffet station has still some room for approvement. Overall a wonderful stay with good Safaris. Would highly recommend because of the unique location.

    It was a wonderful experience. The boat safari and the jungle safari were well coordinated. We were lucky to site a leopard and a tiger. The staff of the resort are very courteous, helpful and friendly

  • 5/5 Barathi S. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is unique in that the team took great care on every single aspect of our stay. Well maintained, excellent staff, and very thoughtful arrangements. I give this place an AAA+ and will be sure to check out other Evolve Back resorts.

  • 5/5 Sukumar B. 1 year ago on Google
    We enjoyed our stay. Wonderful place and well maintained. Of course, the facility is designed for high end people. Last 27 km of the journey is very uncomfortable and this is beyond the control of the facility. Alternative road is coming up. Hope it would completed soon.

    Unmatched hospitality! The whole staff is amazing. Special thanks to Mr Vivekananda from the service team in the restaurant. He is pretty good with kids. Also thanks to Naturalist Sharath for showing us around in the resort jeep.

  • 5/5 Lokenath S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place! Loved the stay, food and their hospitality. Relaxing infinity pool along with individual private pool and jacuzzi. Tip: Go for a walk early morning near the river.

  • 5/5 Sneh J. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place - totally perfect for a peaceful holiday away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I definitely recommend it. Kudos to Manjesh, who was really helpful and catered to all our needs. The food was delicious, and despite eating it for 3 days, we did not get bored.

  • 5/5 Ananya B. 2 years ago on Google
    What an experience. This entire property, it's staff, the attention to detail, the care they take of every need, it all adds to making such a wonderful memorable experience, it's hard to find a close second. They have jungle safaris, boat safaris, dinner by the Kabini, dinner on a cruise, coracle rides, a calm reading room and superb spa. The cottages are spacious and I would highly recommend opting for a private pool. The entire staff have left one memorable interaction or the other, be it their attention during breakfast buffets or customising something for you specially otherwise. The view of the Kabini is second to none and watching the sunset daily is a must! It's a calming and serene retreat which our hectic city life and traffic adled brains need. A suggestion to the management would be to add a photographer to the activities in the resort. I am sure guests would be happy to avail the services of a photographer for beautiful pictures by the Kabini and within the property. We would definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Prakash R. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolute fantastic experience. Food was okay but not the greatest. Loved the location... took river safari and had great 3 hours of fun. Room was absolute pleasure but didnt get time to enjoy them fully.

  • 5/5 Babilesh T. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent resort with a host of amenities and at a great location just besides the Kabini river... one of the best resorts that we've been in recent times. Considering the proximity from Bangalore it is just 5 hours drive and hence is one of the best weekend getaway.

  • 5/5 teja v. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome and luxurious.. Perfect for a relaxing stay.. enjoyed the sunset ride. Food was delicious.. Coracle ride was fun. Highly recommended this property.. Personal guest hospitality person could be a tad bit better as we couldn't help but compare with the person in evolve back coorg who was very very helpful and hospitable..
