The Lake by Maat Hotels

Very Very Bad Experience

Couple • India • Aug 2026

The location is inaccessible. The staffs over calls are misleading too. Ended up booking another hotel though this booking was all paid for.

’ 1-Star Review ’ Please Think Twice Before BookingA frightening and completely unacceptable experience. I strongly discourage anyone from considering this property, especially during the rainy season. In my opinion, calling this place a ’resort’ is extremely misleading.We contacted the property when we were about three miles away because the road was badly flooded and we were afraid our small car could not safely cross. Despite clearly explaining the situation, the resort representative assured us it was okay to drive through the water. We followed that advice’and our car stalled in the flood.After repeated calls, someone from the resort finally tried to reach us on a scooter. He himself could not cross the flooded area and admitted it was impossible. Local residents also warned us not to continue because the road toward the property was muddy and vehicles could get stuck.Another family member attempted to reach the property separately. His rental car lost its license plate while crossing the floodwater, and he eventually turned back because his tires were beginning to get stuck in the mud.We were stranded for hours, from approximately 2 PM until almost 6 PM, trying unsuccessfully to find an SUV, Uber, or other transportation. Two members of our family are diabetic and had gone without lunch. After this ordeal, we had no choice but to abandon our reservation, pay for another hotel, and finally reached a room around 8 PM, exhausted and shaken.I understand that no hotel can control rain or flooding. What is unacceptable is encouraging guests to drive through floodwater when the safety of the route has not been verified’especially when the resort’s own representative subsequently could not cross it.We never reached the property, never checked in, and never used the room or any facilities.Based on our experience, I would strongly advise travelers to think very carefully before booking this property. Accessibility, road conditions, emergency assistance, and how guests are advised during severe weather should all be considered before this property is promoted as a ’resort.’For us, this was not a resort experience’period. It was one of the most frightening and stressful travel experiences our family has encountered. We are requesting a complete refund.

The stay is really good. The view is really great. Its a small property . Hence it's really peaceful and silent. The food is really really good. The price is not that high for the food. If you feel so, there are nearby places where you can get really yummy food. The way to the place is messed up. But it's public road and still on construction. Also the place needs a bit more renovation
