Average Stay
The property is located on a cliff with a access to a beach which is clean and beautiful for a swim. The staff is very courteous and friendly and happy to accommodate your personal request. The property itself is a bit dated and does seem a bit rundown and really in need of an upgrade. However if you are looking for a calm and relaxing time to do some yoga or meditation or simply read a bookthis is the place

Excellent Stay

Below par experience despite courteous staff.
Red Earth is about 10-12Km from the main road, and offers complete isolation from the world. The place is serene, and full of silence. Staff is extremely courteous and frequently checks on you. Food is average largely, most food items across 3 meals were of extremely high salt. Staff was courteous enough to make baby food for my son. Rooms were clean and tidy but average. The AC was not probably serviced and has given both my wife and I, my brother and his wife a severe throat infection. Hot water was not available in all rooms that we booked.

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
should try this place
it was amazing place and there a beach right in front of the ocean and the people were very good i really think I should revisit in summer because due to the weather we were not able to get into the ocean water

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
Good Stay
It was a good experience living there and I also loved the faculty and rooms,but the food was a little oil and wifi didn't work properly and the beach was a bit dirty.

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
Best stay in Gokarn
If you want to unwind and be with nature, this is the right place to be. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this place offers some amazing activities like trekking, night walks along the beach, mouth watering food, spa etc to name a few. Just along the beach this place makes you feel like you are at some exotic beaches. Amazing hospitality from Dhiyanshu and loved their dogs Alpha and Beta who would always be with the guests guiding them the way. Totality an amazing experience and would recommend to all.

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

Food was good .I appreciate that they gave complementary food for the driver I liked the concept of private beach however ,as far as the location is concerned the approaching road is not good place is very isolated , Ther is no connectivity neither mobile nor wifi connection ,communication was very difficult .
Room: Standard room
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
Good location. Staff behaviour can be improved.
The stay here had positives as well as negatives. On the positive side, the beach is almost like private. Property also has a rock beach. Food served was very good. On the negative side, the front desk person was hardly picking my phone calls. He picked first/second time after that it was very obvious that he was avoiding nor calling back. Property has no intercom so only whatsapp calls, so he could easily see missed calls. Also, we had other teething issues like poor flow of water in taps, stains in bedsheet and a front door that didn't close properly and anyone outside can see the bed inside. When we reported this issue, the response was very casual and there was no serious intention to fix it. Also, you could find frogs/lizards inside room. Overall, positives are on property location & greenery. Negatives are on the attitude of the management staff.

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.

Excellent Stay
During our stay, Red Earth extended top-notch hospitality. Sh Mansur GM of Red Earth Group and Sh Bharani Opretions Manager at Red Earth made our stay memorable. Firstly Red Earth upgraded our Room. They arrange candlelight dinner for us in front of sea. The breakfast was also arranged in open air with full view of morning sea. The Honey Beach beside Red Earth is a seluded & pristine. Overall a memorable stay

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your warm words and for taking the time to share your experience with us. It was an absolute pleasure to host you at Red Earth Gokarna. 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. 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.
A property in good location but in a miserable condition
Property location was wrongly mentioned . There used to be bridge connecting this off beat property to main town however that bridge is under renovation for more than 2months due to which property distance has increased to 25km. It is very tough to manage cab or auto who charges hepty amount due to increased distance. I have raised a concern however waiting for a solution till date. Further, don't expect Red earth kind of experience from this property which does not entirely belong to Red earth as it is a lease property. Property is in bad shape, rooms are untidy, broken tiles are common, paint is coming out from walls, Staff is good but helpless as they can do much about the condition of the property. It is 25km away from main town due to which connectivity is an issue. Wifi was unavailable for almost 1 day which caused some hassle. let me tell you that staff is humble and good and tried helping from their end.
Room: Standard room
Red Earth
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.
Great location, lacks upkeep
Location is great and the hosts Sanath and Barani are good in accommodating the guests and taking care of their needs. However, the overall upkeep of the property and especially the rooms and the toilets are really lacking. Housekeeping is absolutely terrible.
Room: Standard room
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.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad to hear that your stay at Red Earth Gokarna was a truly wonderful one. Your appreciation of the calming ambiance, earthy aesthetics, and overall experience means a lot to us. We’re especially delighted that you enjoyed the food and found the rooms comfortable — our team puts a lot of care into using fresh, local ingredients and creating a cozy, eco-sensitive space for guests to unwind. And yes, the treks and nature trails through the surrounding wilderness and coastal cliffs are indeed something special — we’re glad you made the most of them! Red Earth Gokarna is tucked away beside the almost private Honey Beach, designed to offer quiet moments in nature without the distractions of city life — and your review perfectly captures what we aim to provide. 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 thoughts. We're delighted to know you enjoyed the serenity of our almost private Honey Beach and the unique charm of our property. It's lovely to hear that Alpha, Beta, and Gama kept you company — they are very much part of the Red Earth experience and loved by guests and team alike! We’ve taken note of your feedback on the food and are always working to improve while staying true to our ethos of using fresh, local ingredients. As you rightly mentioned, our retreat is designed for those seeking to disconnect from the hustle and immerse in nature — which means minimal artificial lighting at night and limited mobile connectivity. Carrying a torch is indeed a handy tip! 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.
An excellent choice for a getaway
The property is fantastic and Dhiyanshu and Bharani ensured our experience was excellent. The staff is also proficient and nice. The only two issues are no network coverage (the WiFi on the property is excellent however) and the food, which while very good, lacked diversity to a certain extent (for example prawns and crab/squid would be a welcome addition to the dinner menu). Overall this was a wonderful experience.

It’s heartening to hear that you found our staff warm and the property fantastic. We’re glad you appreciated the Wi-Fi — though mobile network coverage remains limited due to our tucked-away, off-grid location, we strive to provide stable connectivity through our internal systems. Your feedback on food diversity is valuable. While we focus on fresh, local ingredients, we’ll certainly explore incorporating more seafood options like prawns, crab, and squid where possible. We do hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to serve you better in the future.
