SaffronStays Raanwaara Luxe

We recently stayed at Cottage Luxe through SaffronStays and had a mix of good and disappointing experiences. What worked well: The location is excellent and very peaceful. The property and rooms were well maintained and looked as pictured. The food was good and the chef & his team were courteous in general. What didn’t meet our expectations: We had spoken with SaffronStays’ executive (Mr Rudraksh) ahead of arrival and were promised a late checkout at 11:30 am, since we were arriving late. Upon checkout the property manager showed up at 10:15 am and insisted we leave by 11:00 am — and warned of a late checkout charge. This contradicted what was promised. We had booked the room upstairs (based on the photos shown to us), but on arrival we were given a downstairs room. We were told “both rooms are the same”, but when we later compared with the upstairs one the difference was noticeable. In one instance when I asked for an alternate dessert to fruit custard, I was told only ice-cream was available — while another guest was served gulab jamun. This made me feel the service was inconsistent, despite paying the same rate. Summary: If you’re looking for a good location and nicely kept rooms, you’ll find those here. But if you expect all commitments to be honoured (late checkout, room requested) and fair treatment in every service aspect, you may feel let down. We hope SaffronStays looks into coordinating better between their booking-team

I didnt enjoy much there. There was frog in jacuzzi We couldnt spend quality time there. There was lot of disturbance. Roads are not good.

The stay was good. It provided a private experience. But it is still a little too expensive and not worth the price listed.

We recently visited Saffron Stays Raanwaara Luxe, and the experience was truly memorable. The property is nestled in a dense jungle, surrounded by lush trees, a stunning waterfall, and fresh air. The staff were polite, punctual, and friendly. Our host, Sagar Gadekar, was always available to assist and made sure we felt comfortable. The food was delicious and served promptly. However, one drawback was the transportation – due to the property's forest location, guests are required to book their transport through the resort, which can be expensive. Local transport restrictions limit options, making it compulsory to use their services. The washrooms needs to be properly ventilated because due to tropical wet climate there’s little bit stinky foul. Overall it’s a good and mesmerising experience.

location is nice and secluded, food was mix of good and bad but overall nice . we specifically chose this for jacuzzi, which the caretaker did not mention takes more than hour to fill up, also by the time it fills up water was no more warm. when we started filling it there was some dirt coming out of the pipes if you are choosing this for jacuzzi do check with saffronstay how they plan to make warm water available in jacuzzi especially in rain/winters. room was bit smaller than what appeared in picture but had nice sir out area bathroom was cramped up space.

The stay was amazing, with great hospitality. the view is amazing from the room you will get jacuzzi too with a view with all the privacy you want.

- Small Room, Bad food service. Views are good but cleanliness in the room & around the property is bad. Spider cowebs everywgere in room. A very very dity csrlet & sofa

Property is too far from lonavla. There is no proper road to reach the hotel as they dont wish the customer should go out of the hotel for food. The property is little old and not maintained properly. the rooms are spacious. The view of the room is nice.Its in the heart of mother nature . The host Mr.Sagar is good and helpful. Food was not upto the mark as compared to price . Too much pepper and soda in food .Not enough variety of foods offered by the chef as they say they dont have raw material. Also on MMT they have mentioned the meal price as 400Rs.per meal/person but they charged is 800rs for dinner per mean /person . on complaining they said that MMT have not changed the price on website . This feels a little weird for us to pay higher charges. even we ask for rate card but they did not had the rate card .

They stay was amazing and view was so amazing! Worth it! Stayed for 2 days and it was very good in monsoon and great Hospitality by Sagar.

superb place to relaxe and enjoy nature very nice staff sagar, ajay, gopal and chef johhny all are polite in nature and very quick in the service. overall experiance is so good and you can access near by water fall which is accessible from the villa propert superb place to relaxe and enjoy nature

Really loved our stay at the property in Lonavala. Highly recommend Raanwara Luxe to people planning their trips to Lonavala.

Amazing place special thanks to sagar and chef jolly

it was a very peaceful and pleasant stay for us. the location is amazing. you won't feel like it is in lonavala. it's beautiful. the service was great. Mr. Sagar helped us with everything needed and the stay gives you an amazing view. food was great as well. all in all there's nothing bad or average I felt about my stay. it was better than expected. I would recommend everyone to visit here and enjoy your stay. loved it!

Its worst experience ever. There is only 1 small room , photos show something’ else. Pool had dead insects and leaves all over. Yellow colored stinky water from bathroom . We stayed only for an halfn hour, couldnt bear further. Terrible response from saffronstays

They stay was lovely, it was a great place to unwind ourselves, special mention for the food would go back again for the food and the staff is very warm
