SpicyMango Saveda Farm & Cottages

Our stay at Saveda Farms was extremely disappointing and felt like a total waste of both time and money. We arrived around 4:30 PM with two families, hoping for a quiet weekend away from Mumbai's busy life, but faced one of the worst hospitality experiences ever. The AC in one room was broken for hours despite repeated complaints, with no real solution until nearly 10:30 PM. Power fluctuations were frequent, making basic amenities like the electric kettle unusable, and hot water was hard to get. Even cold drinking water was sometimes unavailable during the hot weather, which is unacceptable for a property charging nearly ₹9,500 per room. Our evening was disturbed by ongoing AC repairs near our seating area from 7:30 to 9:30 PM, ruining our relaxation. Around 9:30 PM, we were asked to move rooms but then told to stay as the AC would be fixed soon; after much confusion, it finally worked at 10:30 PM, but the mood was already spoiled. The next morning, power issues continued from 6 to 8 AM, yet management never checked in or apologized, showing a lack of courtesy that was even more disappointing than the technical problems. The property was poorly maintained, with water stains on walls, dirty curtains with broken hooks, dusty corners, and an unclean balcony. Our river-front room was misleadingly advertised, as a large tree blocked the view and garbage in the water below made it unpleasant. Food options were very limited, especially for vegetarians; after asking repeatedly, we got Paneer 65, which looked more like regular paneer pakoda. Despite all these issues, no compensation, discounts, or apologies were offered by management. Overall, the property, staff, and management were of very poor quality.

Wonderful stay close to nature.

The food is overpriced and the menu has very limited options. There's no water available even during the rainy season. Charging 18% GST on food? Should I report this to the GST authorities? It's fine to charge for service, but don't cheat customers.

The location is stunning and the scenery is excellent.

The property itself is beautiful and being a riverside resort is definitely a plus point. However, our overall experience was disappointing due to the poor food options and service.The food menu was extremely limited with very few choices available. Even basic amenities such as bottled water and cold drinks were often unavailable, and the staff informed us that they had no stock. This is not what guests expect when staying at a resort.The service also needs significant improvement, as requests were not handled efficiently and the overall hospitality was below expectations.Additionally, the website mentioned a Sadhiya buffet, which was one of the reasons we chose this resort, but it was not available during our stay. This was misleading and disappointing.The management should seriously work on improving food variety, maintaining adequate stock of basic beverages and water, and enhancing service standards. It would also be beneficial to offer packages that include breakfast, lunch, and dinner with buffet service, similar to other resorts, as it makes the experience much more convenient for guests.The location and riverfront setting are excellent, but better food options and improved service are necessary to make the stay worthwhile.
