Evolve Back Hampi

A full 5 star rating for this 5-star property. It's got impeccable hospitality, extremely courteous and welcoming staff and stunning architecture. I would easily give it 10 stars in nearly everything- staff behaviour, thoughtfulness, food, hospitality, suite decor and opulent architecture. This was my first stay at an Evolve Back property and I am astounded by the whole experience. It beats so many other resorts across the country I have stayed in. Few people I would specifically like to call out for excellent service- Mohanan & his colleague from HK for their smiles and quick service, Chandana, Sudesh and Balamma from front desk who patiently answered all our queries, took out time to make us feel at home & Balamma patiently gave us a Jal Mahal tour too beyond her office hours. In Tuluva, nearly everyone - Vinay, Saurabh and all other staff who were always on their toes. Abhijith - the naturalist who later doubled up as a storyteller for their evening session was excellent. His knowledge about birds, their sounds and the forest is rich and he is very kind. This is one of the longest reviews I have written and every bit of it feels underrated. Clearly the training imparted to the staff is par excellence and that reflects in their collective efforts to keep guest comfort on top. Hospitality aside, they have complimentary high tea, nature’s walk, story telling session and a wonderful souvenir shop. The suite was quite big- comes with an outdoor jacuzzi, complimentary snacks and beverages replenished twice a day and the overall room gave an authentic feel of living in a bygone era. I honestly can’t wait to explore their other 2 properties in India- the Hampi staff and resort have set the benchmark very high. I plan to return here soon, again..

This is a lovely hotel with exceptional service, which feels heartfelt and not corporate. Special thanks to Chandana, who looked after us very well the whole stay, Nimesh, who was a very attentive waiter in the Bahamani restaurant and Balamma, who kindly drove us around in the golf cart, to mention just a few of the lovely team. The hotel itself is beautiful and very spacious, in pretty grounds. The Ayurvedic spa is very nice also. The food is excellent and varied. The rooms are large, comfortable and well soundproofed. They have strong ESG credentials which they set out in a report in your room. There were lots of nice touches, such as a birthday cake and balloons provided for us. It is an oasis of tranquility. We came for a short visit to Hampi and wish we could have stayed longer, to enjoy more of the hotel.

Thoroughly enjoyed at Evolve Back Hampi… can’t wait to visit again.. great hospitality!! Special thanks to Ms. Drishti , she assisted us for everything and also accommodated a few requests that we had. Thanks for decorating the room so beautifully fix our special occasion!!

The accommodation, service, food and environment were all terrific. We had a room which was more like a suite really, complete with a large jacuzzi bath and balcony. we wished we had stayed more than three nights but of course we were really there to visit the World Heritage Site and could not have known it was worth at least an extra night.

Beautiful property, spacious rooms, great food and spa. The team went out of the way to make us feel welcomed and relaxed. The choice of menu and customised curation of food added to the experience. The services and the spa were also exceptional. One good place to go and stay, unwind and relax, and come back rejuvenated.

Orange county - the name is enough to experience Royalty. You experience the meaning of calmness and tranquility here. Definitely we would love to visit and experience our stay at each property. Everything is just upto the mark or may be beyond that.
