Fort Barli

This was a very welcome rustic break in a busy Rajasthan tour and well worth a visit if travelling between Jaipur and Jodhpur. The 17th century fort is a beautifully preserved piece of Rajasthani history and the surrounding village is a wonderful example of rural India. The rooms are beautifully decorated, the food is good, and the service is excellent. The small pool is a very welcome respite from the heat of the day. We enjoyed a bullock cart ride around the area, organised by staff, to get a taste of village life and meet some super welcoming and friendly locals.

Lovely setting and beautiful hotel rooms - all have air conditioning and fans and comfortable beds. The standard of hotel really is like being a royal! Everything is top quality and the decorations around the hotel are beautiful. Staff are attentive and helpful, and always greet you in the morning with a smile on their face. The are extremely knowledgeable about the hotel and the surrounding area, happy to chat with you. In particular. All the staff here should be congratulated, but especially; Ranjeet was an excellent chef and all his food was top quality and delicious - thank you! I would 100% recommend the cookery classes on offer here. Kesar was very helpful and friendly. Additionally, Chunilal was a fantastic tour guide on the bullock cart ride (extremely recommended) and was super friendly, helpful, and offered to take photos of us and have a very interesting tour around the fort. Everyone we have met here puts full effort into everything they do. Also, the owners of the place were super friendly and happy. Overall we had an amazing time so thank you to everyone who made the happen! Key points: - Staff are all enthusiastic and helpful - They own a lovely pool facility - Food is delicious and caters for vegetarians too - Bullock cart ride and cookery classes are a must! - Rural setting but beautiful fort

The term “Fort” is a most apt description - the building has been in the family for 16 generations and has been recently refurbished & modernised, whilst retaining all of the features & charm of the original building. The owner (& wife) are charming & warmly greet new guests; the staff are courteous and efficient; the rooms are exquisite; the food is excellent & the hotel offers all manner of activities - including spa treatment, as well as a small infinity pool.
