Most of the accommodation is in the form of cottages or Swiss tents with air conditioning. It is a little away from main Orchha but is easily walkable from there. The complimentary breakfast had a limited menu but was OK. Other facilities were not maintained well. e.g. the phone in our tent was not repaired after several attempts, and the... More

Betwa Retreat..... good location, it is next to the Betwa river, sunrise, sunset, birding, and the backdrop of the historical places...excellent view...and short distances. One can wlk down to the river, in fact wateerr birds, rafting is common. Local people, indulging in acitivities, so typical of their customs, and different. We loved every moment.

Good location, friendly staff, rooms are ok but dont expect 4 or 5* housekeeping standards. This is a state run property and staff are doing the best they know. Bathrooms in the regular room are small in size but ok. Only one restaurant but they do serve good food, just tell the waiters what you are looking for and they... More

We were travelling as part of a group and stayed here in the permanent tents for 2 nights. Orchha is just beautiful down by the river and a lovely break from the hustle and bustle of Dehli, Agra, etc. The bedroom was large with a comfortable bed - and there was also a separate dressing area and basic bathroom. The... More

My friends and I stayed in the tents at the Betwa Retreat. Proximity to the river is a real plus and all attractions and town are an easy walk. The grounds are well maintained. The tents offer the usual firm Indian mattress, a small table, a bathroom and a sort of dressing room cordoned off by a curtain. There was... More

This is the best and comparatively inexpensive option for anyone/family visiting orchha. Very nicely arranged huts (mostly single & separate) hotel of MPTDC is very well maintained. Once we got in it was hard to believe it to be an MPTDC property. Infront of the gate the scenic Kanchana Ghat while on both sides you will fine Orchha palace and... More

We booked a Swiss Cottage for 1 night stay. The cottage was clean and well-maintained. The whole resort is also quite well-maintained. Betwa river flows just in front of the river, so viewing sunrise and sunset was not an issue, However management wasn't quite helpful and they were clearly biased towards foreigners. We had to wait almost 1 hour after... More

If you thought govt. run establishments are drab and poor in hospitality you would be wrong. This is a wonderful located place in orchha with helpful and supportive staff. They have a heritage room built over a ruined structure which is worth a stay. Kitchen and dining areas are clean with a view of the beta river. Recommend this to... More

Most properties in Orchha are well located as its a very small town. This property is owned and managed by a Government body. Going by standards of most Government run properties in India, its maintenance is relatively better. However with regard to food options and service, there is a lot to be desired if you start comparing to privately run... More
