-
Are the prices always the same even if the date changes?Prices vary based on various factors which may be seasonal, day of the week, occupancy status of the hotel, promotions, particular fairs in the city and more. The advice, to see the prices, is to enter the dates of your stay and make your own comparisons.
-
Is breakfast always included?No, it depends on the rate and whether the structure is organized to offer it or not. Check carefully before booking what is included and what is not and what type of service is offered.
-
Can I make special requests?Of course, when booking you will have a field where you can write directly to the property and make your requests. These will be evaluated by the Hotel who will respond directly to you. MeTour is not responsible in this decision-making process.
-
What types of beds will I find in the room I booked?The type of bed is usually specified in the room sheet. If you have any special requests or needs you can indicate them at the time of booking by writing them in the "special requests" field which will be forwarded directly to the property. In this process MeTour is not responsible.
- What is Paga in Structural and what are Payment Pre-Authorisations?
When you book, some facilities offer the possibility of paying directly at the facility. In these cases you will simply be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the booking, but without any charge. The sum will be taken from your credit card only in the cases provided for by the policies and conditions relating to your booking. In other cases, when the Partner does not adopt automatic availability and booking systems, but confirms reservations "manually", then you will be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the reservation, and then be directly charged at the same time as the Partner confirms the booking (within 24-48 hours). At that moment you will receive an email with the booking confirmation and payment.
-
How do I know if my card has been pre-authorized?By consulting your credit card balance you will see that your available balance will be temporarily reduced by the amount of your booking. In other cases and depending on the policy of your credit card circuit, you may also find an entry in the monthly summary of card movements: "pending operation". The pre-authorization block, depending on the situation, will be maintained according to the policies and terms and conditions of what has been booked.
-
How can I cancel or change my booking?Easy, enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can modify or cancel your booking. Remember that changing dates or canceling with a refund request depends on the rate you chose when booking.

-
How can I get help with my booking?Enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can contact us or by writing through our contact form specifying your booking number and the reason for the contact request. We recommend that you also leave a telephone number where you can be reached in case of need.
-
Are there taxes, local charges or extras to be paid directly on site?They are normally clearly indicated in the property sheet or added during the booking phase depending on local regulations or the facility's policies. But even if not clearly indicated, payments may be requested directly to the facility for any tourist taxes, local charges or extras not included in the rate. The advice is to read everything carefully before booking or writing to us through our contact form.

For reservations made we advise you to keep in mind the risk related to Coronavirus (COVID-19) and related government measures. If you book a rate that is not “flexible” or “non-cancellable” or “non-changeable”, you may not be entitled to a refund in the event of cancellation or to a refund. Any requests for cancellation or date changes will be handled based on the policy of the rate chosen at the time of booking and any consumer protection laws.

For Wildlife Lovers.
While visiting a forest, one of the aspects I look for is the stay. I like to stay near the forest, the closer the better. There are few forests in India where you are allowed to stay in the Government controlled forest rest houses but getting a room there to stay is quite a task. The reason I stay inside/near forests is the amazing night life you encounter after dark. The chirping of birds throughout the day is replaced by the sound of night jars and owls. The big cats, who are resting during the day start moving and with them the jungle starts erupting. You may not see the big cats at night but you will know their movement by sounds of other animals and birds of the forests. This thrill of sharing the space with the big cats, elephants, bisons, other smaller nocturnal creatures makes such places worth visiting and this was the reason I stayed at the Jungle Retreat, Wayanad. We had stayed from 18-22 March 2024. The stay was comfortable, the authentic South Indian food served by chef Shiva was lip smacking. The wildlife stories were never ending. And all the aspects were taken good care by Manu, Jathin, Vishnu, Bhaskara. And meeting the owner of the resort Mr. Anil Palat was a wonderful experience. His knowledge, curiosity and the enthusiasm for the wildlife was amazing. We could spot deer, elephants, giant squirrel, mouse deer, civet cat and many birds right inside the resort boundary. We also spotted a leopard one night near the resort and the enthusiasm by the owner Mr. Anil to help us spot the leopard was amazing. On the last day, we stayed at the Tree House inside the dense jungle. Although not much wildlife movement on the day we stayed, but we came to know that the resident tigress and her cubs visited the water hole near the tree house on the next day. The Tree House had well maintained rooms and were taken good care by our naturalist, Bhaskara. Jungle Retreat is quite close to the Nagarhole Safari gate and the team booked safaris for us. We had some amazing sightings of tigers, elephants, gaurs in the Nagarhole National Park. Any wildlife lover would love this place. Special thanks to Mr. Prasad for helping us with the bookings and suggesting us about the Nagarhole safari. Would surely visit this place again.

Séjour sublime
Jungle Retreat Wayanad
Ce qui saute aux yeux c’est l’authenticité du lieu. Nous avons passé trois jours dans un cadre sublime. Notre bungalow donnait sur une large prairie où les animaux venaient boire et paître. Depuis la terrasse, nous avons ainsi pu observer pas moins d’une quarantaine de biches et des cerfs et des paons aussi. Des singes nous ont également rendu visite. Nous avons vu deux éléphants lors d’une balade en soirée en voiture et une nuit un éléphant est passé tout près de notre bungalow et nous avons pu l’observer par la fenêtre!! Nous avons fait un Trek pour découvrir les oiseaux, c’était une vraie symphonie pour les yeux et les oreilles. nous avons aussi fait un trek de 4 h jusqu’au sommet d’un petit pic d’où nous avions une vue fantastique sur toute la région.
En résumé trois jours enchanteur pour 25500 roupies.
Merci aussi pour la compétence la gentillesse de toute l’équipe de Jungle retreat.
Ce fut une expérience fascinante mêlée d’un peu de frayeur d ‘être ainsi plongé dans un environnement où la vie sauvage coexiste avec la vie humaine. Totalement inimaginable en France.
Encore merci. Nous recommandons vivement.
note. Il n’y a pas besoin de jeep pour rejoindre… un Tuk Tuk suffit.

Special place
Well if I could give this 10/5 I would as this place is super special. We were only staying 3 nights but extended to 5 nights as it was so relaxing. ALL the staff cannot do enough for you. They are all so friendly and want to help as much as possible . The food is a plenty and all the staff are very knowledgeable about what you hear. They can arrange all activities so nothing to worry about . The property sits close to a water hole which some bungalows overlook or there’s a watchtower to use, and after dark if an animal is spotted they come and knock to see if you want to view it. I know what you’re thinking “it’s dark” but they have a night vision binoculars for you to view. Regular elephant and tigers walk through at night so worth getting up if you can get out of the comfy bed. We did 3 safaris but only saw 1 tiger but lots of other animals to see.
Only 1 problem we didn’t realise it was cash only so take plenty with you as you will want to stay longer. But again there are apps for you to do money transfer or they can get you to an ATM close by. Plenty of options.
I can’t rate Jungle retreats highly enough. Its a one in a million place and a special find and we’ve travelled ALOT.
ENJOY and happy travels

"Consistent Excellence"
We recently stayed at JRW after a three-month hiatus, and are extremely proud to add that the experience was superb, as always. The consistent excellence of our second home never fails to impress.
From the entire staff to the impeccable amenities, food and service remains our go-to choice for a most relaxed stay.
Highl recommended!

Serene stay in beautifully built resort
We had a great time in the resort! The property is built beautifully, the staff is nice and the food was good. If you are looking for a peaceful nature stay in the Wayanad area, look no further!
We had booked one night in the jungle cottage, and one night in the deluxe because of the superior view, but already really liked the view of the jungle cottage.
You can book a jeep safari via the retreat (INR 3500, 3 hours) or a bus safari via the government website (INR 750, 1.5 hours). These prices are excluding transportation to the park entrance, which can be arranged for you at the retreat.
We also really enjoyed the Brahmagiri peak trek, which starts from the nearby Thirunelly Forest Station (mandatory guide, INR 3100 for a group of 1-5 foreigners).
