The Rajbari Bawali

Fabulous property with an excellent hospitality. Very peaceful which is ideal for relaxation away from the maddening city life. Stay was really royal with all the antic accessories. The service provider wre very cautious. Food was excellent. Welcome and send off both were extraordinary.

It's a great stay with touch of history.. The place is beautifully renovated.. Evening (Sandhya Aarti, Classical dance, Musical Performance) is engaging.. There's a games zone, Swimming Pool, open area for walk & to sit around the pond.. The place is peaceful, soothing, full of green.. Last 8-10kms to the place is painful.. Each & everyone among the Staff are helpful, polite & welcoming.. We went with our pet & she had a great time there.. It's good for a staycation around Kolkata..

Only planned on staying four nights but then extended and then did so again so ended up staying eleven. That says it all really. Grateful thanks to all the staff who take full individual responsibility for keeping the place absolutely immaculate and for genuinely caring about their guests. Particularly to ‘wingman’ Arpan (Mr Bond) who was a total professional (even checking in on his day off); his ‘older brother’, Shobojit (especially for his humour); the elegant Priya and her team at breakfast; the guys by the pool sweeping and working hard all day; the expertise of Payel and Shobajit in the spa; the housekeepers; front of house; lady in the shop and; everyone behind the scenes in the kitchen (the food here being on a par with any fine dining Indian restaurant in my view). The connection to the history is provided by Mr Somar Mondal and I enjoyed his company many times beyond his village tour throughout my stay. The Rajbari really is a product of the vision to bring it back to life but actually it’s the people who work there that make it truly magical and memorable from my perspective. As well as considering a longer stay if that’s possible, I thoroughly recommend turning left out the hotel and to keep walking in order to experience Bawali proper. Thank you to the Bawali Bharati Sangha Football Club for allowing me to join in for a kick about each morning. That really was a highlight too.

A pleasant stay. Good food a little pricey. Very good hospitality by stay . wheel chair availability which helped a lot. Will try and visit again

The property was good. But the management appears to be deceptive and manipulative. At the reception, for upgrading into a jamindar room available, extra charges were levied even though the vacant room was there. Extracting money from the customers appears to be the main motto. The approach and attitude must change,

Excellent property, staff are really nice and friendly. The front entrance is underwhelming though. Near the baganbari it stinks of stagnant water. That needs to be cleaned.
