Taj Madikeri Resort & Spa, Coorg

We had an amazing stay at Taj Madikeri Coorg! The location is simply stunning, with excellent weather and clouds surrounding us most of the time, making the experience truly magical. The view from the reception is absolutely awesome — you just can’t resist clicking pictures there! The cottages are spacious, luxurious, and beautifully spaced out, offering great privacy and a royal feel. The resort’s electric car service for moving around the property was quick, efficient, and always on time. The hospitality throughout our stay was exceptional — every team member served with warmth and a genuine smile. A special highlight was dining at the Fern Tree restaurant, where every dish we tried was delicious. Special mention to Manoranjan , who served us with a smile, recommended some wonderful local dishes, and was extremely attentive in making sure we enjoyed every meal. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and a memorable stay. Highly recommend Taj Madikeri Coorg for anyone looking for luxury, beautiful views, and outstanding hospitality!

Except for the view ... You barely see anyone from the staff at the lobby area / reception except during in peak check in hours. Unlike most hotels the lobby here is empty feels like it used to busy at one time now it’s all silent and lost. The restaurant staff, security personnel and buggie staff are really nice and polite - display hospitality standards set by the chain. The grills must try restaurant. All their restaurants are super. Muddy boots has amazing activities (most of them are paid activities). Again staff is amazing. Is it worth the price and hype? I don’t know at least our experience seemed to indicate otherwise. Property not suitable for people with knee/ leg issues as buggies take as guest services mentioned atleast 15 minutes (sometimes less sometimes longer) to arrive to take you from one point to another. So do keep that in mind. One needs to use steps to enter / exit most areas on the property. They have one accessible room but again to get anywhere from there you need to call a buggie. Thank you Aroopa for being amongst the few smiling faces at the otherwise empty reception / lobby area. Thank you Pritam for trying to help out wherever and whenever possible. A big thank you to all the buggie drivers and security persons who drove the buggies for their sunshine bright smiles though they were over worked. Thank you.

Stayed in a villa with an almost 180-degree rainforest view — waking up to that every morning set the tone for everything that followed. The absolute highlight was the hike to Nishani Mountain. A proper forest trail through dense rainforest, leech bites and all — our family wore them like badges of honour! Raw, adventurous, and completely unforgettable. Food deserves a special mention — across all three days, whether it was the local Kodava cuisine or a wood-fired pizza, every single meal was outstanding. Genuinely hard to pick a favourite. Both pools are wonderful — the temperature-controlled one at the top and the valley pool below each have their own mood. The Kodava dance performance was a lovely cultural touch that rounded off the evenings beautifully. Taj Madikeri is not just a resort — it's an immersive experience in one of India's most beautiful landscapes. Highly recommended for families seeking something beyond the ordinary.

Extremely disappointing experience at Taj Madikeri, Coorg. We checked in today with high expectations from a luxury brand like Taj, but the experience has been frustrating from the beginning. The check-in process itself took almost 1 hour, which is unacceptable after a long journey, especially when travelling with a small child. The buggy service is another major issue. Every single time we request a buggy, we end up waiting 25–30 minutes. For a resort spread across a large area, this kind of delay creates unnecessary inconvenience for guests. Today’s dinner experience was also very poor. Restaurant service was slow, unorganized, and staff behavior lacked professionalism and hospitality manners. Even room service and reception staff were not courteous and their attitude felt rude and indifferent. We recently stayed 3 nights at Evolve Back, Coorg, and the difference in hospitality, guest handling, professionalism, and overall service quality is huge. Evolve Back was far superior in every aspect. A luxury resort is not judged only by beautiful property views, but by hospitality and guest experience — and sadly Taj Madikeri has failed badly on that front so far.

We had a lovely stay at Taj Madikeri Resort & Spa. The welcome was warm, and both check-in and check-out were quick and seamless. This was our pet’s first visit, and we truly appreciate how comfortable the staff made her feel. A special thanks to Punit, Sadiya, Suman, staff who welcomed us (i forgot her name) and the team for their courteous and attentive service. While pets are not allowed in the restaurants, which limited our dining experience to in-room meals, we’re grateful to the breakfast buffet manager and servers for arranging a separate seating area so we could still enjoy the buffet. As a suggestion, having a designated pet-friendly dining area would greatly enhance the experience for guests traveling with pets. Overall, a very pleasant and memorable stay.
