Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. Red Earth Gokarna is a tucked-away, nature-immersive retreat, and while the seclusion brings peace and calm, mobile networks are limited. Wi-Fi is available in cottages and common areas, but connectivity is subject to local conditions and cannot always be guaranteed. Our team, many from nearby tribal communities, may not follow conventional hotel styles, but they are warm, grounded, and committed to ensuring our guests feel cared for. Hygiene and guest safety are priorities, and we regret if any concerns arose during your stay. We regularly review listing information across portals to ensure accuracy. If there were discrepancies, we’d truly value specifics so we can address them. We do hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to serve you better in the future. We look forward to welcoming you again — or perhaps at one of our other retreats in the Nilgiris, Kabini, Tadoba, or Wayanad. Warm regards, Team Red Earth

Dear Guest, Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the charm of Red Earth Gokarna and appreciated the beachside location and the warmth of our team. Being right by the ocean does make it extra special — and we completely understand how weather can sometimes play spoilsport. Summer offers calmer waters, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back then for a more immersive beach experience. We do hope you’ll consider visiting again — or perhaps exploring our other retreats in the Nilgiris, Kabini, Tadoba, or Wayanad. Warm regards, Team Red Earth

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re happy to know you had a good stay overall and that you appreciated the rooms and the warmth of our team. That said, we’re sorry to hear about your experience with the food and Wi-Fi. Our team strives to maintain a healthy, homely kitchen using fresh, local ingredients — but we will certainly look into your comment regarding excess oil. As for Wi-Fi, while we do provide access even in the cottages, availability can be impacted by weather and terrain, given our tucked-away coastal setting. The beach nearby is a public stretch, and while we do our best to keep it clean, natural and seasonal elements can occasionally affect its condition. We do hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to serve you better in the future. We look forward to welcoming you again — or perhaps at one of our other retreats in the Nilgiris, Kabini, Tadoba, or Wayanad. Warm regards, Team Red Earth

ear Guest, Thank you so much for your heartfelt words and glowing recommendation. We’re delighted that you found Red Earth Gokarna to be the perfect getaway to reconnect with nature. The calm, the beachside walks, the treks, and the night trails are all crafted to bring you closer to the land and sea — and we’re so glad you embraced them all. Dhiyanshu and the rest of our team — including our much-loved four-legged hosts, Alpha and Beta — will be thrilled to hear your appreciation. Their warm companionship has become a special part of the Red Earth experience. We do hope to welcome you back soon for another dose of nature, warmth, and relaxation — or perhaps at one of our other retreats in the Nilgiris, Kabini, Tadoba, or Wayanad. Warm regards, Team Red Earth

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re glad to hear you appreciated the food and that the gesture of offering complimentary meals for your driver stood out — it's a small way for us to extend our hospitality beyond just our guests. Our retreat is located in a remote, tucked-away corner of Gokarna, chosen precisely for its seclusion and closeness to nature. The approach road, while not ideal, is part of the terrain’s rustic charm — and we believe the reward of being nestled by an almost private Honey Beach is well worth the journey. As you rightly mentioned, mobile networks and Wi-Fi connectivity can be patchy due to our off-grid location. While Wi-Fi is available even in the cottages, its availability is subject to various environmental and technical factors beyond our control. We do understand how this can be an inconvenience and are constantly exploring ways to improve the experience without compromising the essence of being in nature. We hope you left feeling refreshed, and that you might consider visiting us again — perhaps at one of our other retreats in the Nilgiris, Kabini, Tadoba, or Wayanad. Warm regards, Team Red Earth

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re pleased to know that you enjoyed the natural beauty of our setting — including the almost private Honey Beach and the scenic rock beach — as well as the food and lush greenery that surrounds our retreat. We are, however, disappointed to learn that several aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. While we are a tucked-away, nature-immersive retreat with limited mobile connectivity, our team is expected to remain fully responsive via WhatsApp, and we regret that you experienced otherwise. We also acknowledge your feedback regarding the cottage upkeep, water pressure, and linen — and assure you that this has been escalated to the relevant teams for immediate attention. Our cottages are designed with eco-sensitive architecture using natural materials, which can occasionally allow frogs or lizards to enter — though we do our best to minimise such intrusions without compromising our commitment to living in harmony with nature. Thank you once again for your honest feedback — it plays a vital role in helping us improve. We do hope yo

Dear Guest, Thank you for your honest feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the location, the views, access to the almost private Honey Beach, the food, and the natural charm of our property. That said, we’re truly sorry to hear that aspects like room and property maintenance, water supply, customer service, and Wi-Fi did not meet your expectations. While we aim to offer an off-grid, nature-immersive experience, basic comforts and responsiveness should never be compromised. Your concerns have been noted for immediate attention. Please note that televisions are intentionally excluded from our cottages to encourage a more mindful, nature-connected stay — though we understand this may not suit every preference. We do hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to serve you better in the future. We look forward to welcoming you again — or perhaps at one of our other retreats in the Nilgiris, Kabini, Tadoba, or Wayanad. Warm regards, Team Red Earth.

We’re delighted that you enjoyed the thoughtful gestures — from the room upgrade to the candlelight dinner and sea-view breakfast. Creating meaningful moments is what we strive for, and it’s heartening to know that our team — especially Mansur and Bharani — played a part in making your stay special. Honey Beach, our almost private stretch of coast, truly is a hidden gem, and we’re glad you found it as serene and secluded as we do. We look forward to welcoming you again — or perhaps at one of our other retreats in the Nilgiris, Kabini, Tadoba, or Wayanad. Warm regards, Team Red Earth.

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience with us fell short of expectations. Cleanliness and food quality are both aspects we usually take great pride in, and we regret that this was not reflected during your stay. Your feedback has been shared with the housekeeping and kitchen teams to ensure such lapses are addressed immediately. As a tucked-away retreat close to the almost private Honey Beach, we strive to offer our guests a warm, eco-sensitive, and thoughtfully curated experience — and we sincerely hope we have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear certain aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. We’re happy to inform you that the bridge connecting our retreat to the main town is now fully operational, restoring easy access. We understand how the earlier detour caused inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. While Red Earth Gokarna operates on a long-term lease, the retreat is managed entirely by our team and remains aligned with the Red Earth philosophy of thoughtful hospitality and eco-sensitive living. Some maintenance concerns have already been addressed, and more upgrades are underway. We’re grateful for your appreciation of our humble and hardworking staff — most of whom are from local tribal communities and strive to create a memorable guest experience. As a remote retreat beside the almost private Honey Beach, challenges with connectivity do arise at times, but we are constantly improving. We do hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to serve you better in the future. We look forward to welcoming you again — or perhaps at one of our other retreats in the Nilgiris, Kabini, Tadoba, or Wayanad. Warm regards, Team Red Earth.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the location and found our hosts, Sanath and Bharani, to be warm and attentive. They, along with our team — many of whom come from nearby tribal communities — truly care about each guest’s comfort. That said, we’re genuinely sorry to hear that the room upkeep and housekeeping fell short during your stay. This is certainly not the standard we aim for, and your concerns have been noted seriously. We’ve already begun reinforcing training and accountability to ensure more consistent housekeeping across the retreat. Red Earth Gokarna is a tucked-away, nature-immersive retreat nestled beside the almost private Honey Beach. While we try to keep the setting as raw and natural as possible, guest comfort remains a top priority. We do hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to serve you better in the future. We look forward to welcoming you again — or perhaps at one of our other retreats in the Nilgiris, Kabini, Tadoba, or Wayanad. Warm regards, Team Red Earth.
