View was good. Room was good. But room service and food to be improved. Room service is delayed. Hot water was there for two days and then no hot water. WiFi was ok. Road to the hotel is steep and needs a good car and driver. Climate is very good and the hotel is at a high altitude and very cool. And the view is fantastic..

Stayed for a day on January end. Rooms were clean & good,view from hotel balcony is veryy nice. Food is tasty. TV,hot water facilities are there BUT 1. Location of the hotel is too far & inconvenient. There is slope of almost 45-50 degrees which makes it toooo hard to drive. 2. Everytime u want to go to hotel or go to some place from hotel,ull have to book a cab which will take 300rs. This adds to the expenses a lot.3. Hotel is at hill top level so zero network, no sim card will have range. Hotel provides Wifi credentials but speed is ok ok.On a trip, I would prefer an easily accessible location having sight seeing places nearby. Jem valley is not such place. Otherwise staff & service was very good.

I am unclear who gives out star ratings.. this is a lodge not a 3 star hotel as they claim.. they cant afford a water bottle in room, and you have to manually fill water in glass from coridor, the power in rooms is unstable.. the springs in the beds make marks on ur body.. tvs dont work.. when they work children channel works in cheaper room not flagship. Wiring all over the place. when entering room they dont even bother filling it with basics amenities like glass.. these are just half the problems and they can be adjusted.. then u have the staff behavior.. when my 3 rd old son got injured in room(wow to quality).. i call them for dettol.. let alone first aid kit.. the answer.. its over..if we have one we will send over.. i have heard more empathy in 500 rs lodge... this is day light stealing.. the money spent here is better spent throwing in garbage..

I had been to this hotel in 2017 with family and friends. It was a nice stay, though the food is not that good. Its on a height and the view is good from the hotel. Rooms are decent and spacious.

The resort location is very good, 3 star for the location only. Road to the resort is very bad. You need powerful car to climb the ramps inside the resort. The staff are just ok, they did not even clean the room, even after requesting for it. The breakfast and food options are good. Few things needs replacement like leaky faucets in bathroom, towels, shower, etc. Overall not a very quality hotel.

Way to the hotel is pathetic. I booked a family deluxe room. There was no water or kettle. The water was in corridor. We have fill it in our own water bottle. The furniture inside the room was broken. The bathroom was very ugly. Not like a 3 star hotel. Wifi is damn slow . You will get below 1 mbps. Utter waste. When you call them they will say server problem. When i vacated next day i was about to pay in card. The swipe machine did not work . They said server problem. Food was okay. The hotel is in very steep hill. If you know very well to drive then go else you will struggle. Totally it is not recommended. I paid 4k per night. Better go for other better hotels.

Staffs are professional and friendlyFood(5 Star) - Quality and tasty food with reasonable price breakfast, dinner, lunch and evening snacks.

One becoz thats lowest that can be given.. it deserves no star..my entire new year trip got ruined and we returned one day early from what was planned though we paid for all three days..this is all because of the dirty hotel Jem Valley is. bad staffs , receptionist and the worst and extremely rude manager who doesnt even know how to talk to a lady..forget about customer.. it not following any covid protocols n staffs including the manager n receptionist were not even wearing a mask.. no hygiene.. there was no water in the room so we had to ask for another.. they dint change the bedsheet.. on arrival we waited for 1 hour with multiple request asking them to change bedsheets.. 31st dinner they had buffet which was 600 per person n the receptionist said its mandatory.. its like taliban rule... although we did not agree n skipped it.. the restaurant looked dirty n food looked tasteless.. this was my horrible experience n 3 days trip wasted

Overrated for 3 star. The roads to the hotel are very narrow and congested. The way doesnt gives you a feel you are going to a resort. You will not get mobile network (except BSNL i think). The access to the hotel is through very high slopy roads,The bathrooms fittings are damaged and leaky and doesnt match to the standard. Hot water is only between 06:00 to 10:00 morning and evening , if you check in inbetween, you wont have access to hot water. They even charge for Heater - 500 inr.

Nice and the best view, great hotel to stay, bt the route is little risky, very sloppy road, looks very dangerous, bt it was a very good and different experience to drive there. People working there are very soft and polite. Good customer service. Place must visit in Kodaikanal with bunch of friends. Room are very decent and reasonable price, no discounts even in the off season time also. Bt worth visiting this place and different driving experience.

The bathroom of the room No. 111 literally smelt very bad and pungent. We requested the hotel management to change our rooms, but they were not able since the hotel was booked fully during the christmas vacations of 2019. On the last day of our 3 nights trip we had our room changed.The view from the hotel is amazing and very striking. Room service was fair enough considering the long slopes of the property. It is perked on the top of a hill. Buses, I guess, cannot access this property. Breakfast was good.Overall, good to stay at this property at a reasonable cost.

Location of Jem valley is really awesome, but its not at all maintained. People there have language barrier which makes everything more difficult.Service was really slow, cleanliness has nothing to do with this place.Curtains, cushion covers, bedsheets everything was pretty dirty.. there were holes in bedsheets.Food was ok.Toilets had really bad smell. Not worth the money.But if maintained well this place can become worth everything mentioned above...

Located three - four kilometres away from the Kodaikanal lake in a peaceful area, this hotel/ resort occupies the full area of a very small hill.Rooms are built in the different levels of the hill and a concrete riad is available to reach the top, which is very steep and need experienced drivers.The view of the valley from the rooms are awesome. Mist will be a guest in your room, if you keep the windows open in day time.Nice place to stay.

Jem Valley is situated at the top of Kodaikanal city. must visit place in Kodaikanal.small cons: please bare with the room service and of course no mobile networks. only bsnl in reception area.thanks

It is very good experience staying here. Jem Valley hotel reception has travel desk and can arrange tour of kodaikanal as per the package selected. I am rating this hotel as three because i was not provided the kettel to make cofee even after asking multiple times and the access card for power activation in the room has made a great issue. Even that is rectified after multiple follow ups with reception. But everybody is polite and greeted well. It has one hell of a view from the hotel room and experience is awesome

Location at its worst. One should have enough skill to drive a car there which is very steep up for a 200, 300 metres. Once you stop you suffer. Also I would like to mention that water in the restrooms are pain. They do not have enough water supply where they get tank water for our needs which is not sufficient, gets over within minutes. we stayed a day without a water and cancelled the second day stay there. Restaurants delay the order more than 1 1/2 hours. and was horrible. not at all recommended.

I liked the hotel very much. The stay was soothing, the people were all very good, attentive, responding to querry, trying to go extramile to solve your issues. The location of hotel is very good, very nice view of hills, but it is far away from city. You need a vehicle for commutation, hotel provides this service at some cost. If you want peace, quiteness, then its perfect, but if you want to roam around, doesnt want to spend time in hotel, then this hotel wont suit you. Food taste was good but price was at higher side.

To OWNER notification.My first review about a hotel,since 2013Only the location is good. Some Fraudulent work is going there under the control of Mr.Vilayath Hussain(RM). House keeping is very very poor and food service also worst.If you check your hotel mail id,the mail which I have sent on 29March2019,from that mail you will come to know,what is happening in your hotel done by Mr.RMBecause of service boy(Jeniton), my stay was some what happy. Now they dismissed Jeniton bro,because of my fight to RM against fraudulent work.My intension is that, the Jeniton exact home address must be given to me(for helping him)or else I am going to file a case against in Dindugal consumer court(I am ready with all evidence including voice call recordings(talken to Mr.Rm).Include your IT department guy Mr.Ajay also involved in this.OWNER If you see this review, you should take action or else what is going to happen, you must have understood.NOTE:My stay in your hotel on 26March2019 to 28March2019.The way of treating customer is very worst.

The best part is few rooms are clean, Apart from that this place is very far from the centre of the city, roads to the hotel is horrible. Especially the air pin bend inside the hotel to climb to the rooms are very scary. Elderly people need to climb more than 100 stairs to reach their room. Heater is never works! in the cold weather Room service is so bad! Restaurant staffs are not very friendly, it closes very early and no other options for food nearby. TV doesnt work properly! if we complain this to the font desk they will never mind. Not worth for the money! Prices are high even during off season!! Not a recommended place for family.

Very nice hotel. All the rooms have a balcony with great view. The staff were very nice and helpful. We stayed here for 3 days. The property is very nice. It is situated on top of a hill. The drive to the hotel is very thrilling. You can see the farms and forest of Kodaikanal from the balcony. We took the Jem Valley room which was very spacious and neatly arranged. The duty manager Ramesan was very helpful. He got us some fresh strawberries from the small farm in the hotel. The food was very nice. The chef was helpful.

Excellent Staff. They are polite, caring and helpful. Good location of hotel on misty mountain. The climate was very good. However, they do not offer room service if more than 20 persons are staying in hotel. In this case, they offer buffet. We have to walk down steep slopes and then climb back to the room. Though amenities in room were very good, we needed to remind them to get complementary mineral water. We suspect that good hygiene was not maintained in restaurant as all of us got sick on second day of stay.

This hotel is in kodaikanal. The rooms are good - clean amd spacious with a balcony facing a very good view. All this at affordable prices. The hotel services is fair thought they provide temporary arrangements. They have bonfire, Dj night with good mix of music and recreational activities like carrom, table tennis and chess, just what is needed to relax and get away from the daily busy routine of daily life. The service is a little slow, things have to be reminded again and again. But overall the hotel is good. I would say a 3 star hotel

List of issues faced -1) Geyser was not working in the room. It was freezing cold and it wasnt possible to use water without it. We called them repeatedly and asked them to fix it or give us another room, but they didnt do it at all. All the times they kept on saying, wait for 15 min, wait for 20 min, hot water will come. But it never came even after 2 hours of waiting. Later, they just ignored our requests. We had to adjust by taking bath in the other room where geyser was working.2) Very careless and rude staff. Even after clearly explaining the problem, nobody was willing to care about the geyser problem and solve it. Had clear discussion with manager asking to change room, but he just ignored it. Hotel was totally empty except for us since it was off season. Instead of offering to change room, they offered us a bucket of hot water.3) Linens and bedsheets were dirty, there were hairs all over the bed when we checked in and saw it. Again the hotel is in no mood to accept and said that it was ours. Very pathetic and hopeless service. One should come here only if they want to ruin their vacation.4) Power cut multiple times.5) Hotel is at a very remote place and at dangerous height. Should avoid with old people and kids.6) Food is very very costly here and there is no option (since its at a very remote place), but to order from there.

Review №80

Extremely steep access, rude staff, late food, not recommended for children, aged people or persons with any health issues, especially BP and arthritis. Suitable only for adventurous trekkers who dont mind these issues. This place is situated on a remote hill with only extremely steep climbing access. With normal cars you need to rev your engines in 1st gear at top speed and god save your engine by the time you reach the top. Unpaved broken roads lead to it through dirty suburbs smelling of dung and waste. The stairs of the building are also too steep. Once inside the hotel premises you need to climb again three steep roads that are laid zig-zag on the mountain and not around it, the reason for the extreme steepness. Located more than 5 kilometers further into and away from the town center. The reception desk agents are rude and haughty and to top it, the restaurant staff is indifferent.

It is a 3-star hotel and the Hotel was seemed to have the correct ratings given . It is 3.9kms away from town and to reach there its better to have a SUV because thats the kind of road the government offer us !! And when we reach the hotel we still have an issue due to its steeps very frustrating one . But the service provided by them was the worst I had ever been . There are many to list out like lethargic food captain if we order the food for 3 they give only 2 plates and the next is room service , we had an issue in the intercom , however to reach reception and restaurant we need to climb these steeps !! The Television in our room is not working properly and even every room offers only free channels !! The main one is that we stayed for 2 days so the second day stay needs cleaning so the room service cleaned the room and also theft some snacks from our room ! NOTE : We were not there while they were cleaning !! What an service !! However There is no signal even in Airtel , Vodafone , Jio . So , I conclude that The Ambience was great and room service and the way to hotel irritates !

The food (buffets) led by executive chef Saptarishi are the best I have had in Kodaikanal... . Chef offered custom made conti food for my wife at every meal..... Housekeeping is adaptable on timing..I guess our next holiday is also going to be here.Once Again I Hats off to Hotel Jem Valley Leaders Ajaykumar (General Manager) and Vilayath Hussain (Resort manager)

Standard rooms cannot be a best choice for Couples. Rooms are maintained clean & furnished with a king size bed, diwan sofa, cupboard, one or two tables & a kettle.Most remarkably the balcony & its view is wonderful.Food taste was good but can be improved further with more varieties.No mobile networks available, thats a best part of it to spend quality time with family / friends talk.It feels like climbing a cliff when you walk inside the resort. Requires attention / improvement over (not Negatives & can be managed),Rooms & Facilities:Timings restriction of 6am to 10am & 6pm to 10pm for hot water availability.use & throw slippers are must for this climate & it was not available as they have assured as complementary in displays in room.Camp/bon-fire charges of ₹2,500/- is too much, which shouldnt be worth more than ₹400/-.Restaurant:Only North India dishes available for dinner, must focus over South Indian too matching to the local dishes.Time taken for order to delivery is very long. Requires a prior plan. Al-carta food are priced expensive, and we will not have a choice to opt out side as the location is remote.Location & Maneuverability:should have enough skill to drive a car for a stretch of 100-200m.Even then you may damage your car bumpers as a small stretch of the approach road is damaged & higher gradient.we spent another ₹600 up-down to city & ₹3000 for Manavanoor Lake to hire a local taxi parking our own car till the damage is filled with Soil.Management should approach & work with locals to maintain the approach roads.Staff Behaviors:Majority of the staffs blinks blind as like they doesn’t know what it is in spite those are mentioned in their posters/ display boards / printed pamphlets in and around the room.Needs training over the knowledge of their own hotel. No one knows about their own hotel except a lady & a man in reception.

The hotel is situated at a beautiful site. Could experience the real beauty and feel of hill stations. Also the facilities and services provided by the hotel management was excellent. The road to the hotel was a little tough thing, however management is planning to renovate the same in near future. If possible will look forward to stay here in our next trip as well.

Worst Service, I have ever seen. No House Keeping service.. No doubt property is well built but very poor maintenance. Location good but approach road very bad and it is adventurous to reach there.Attitude of most of staff members very bad.Booking done by travel agent and all payments were made in advance, so it was taken granted by staff.

The stay at this hotel was very pleasent. The rooms were very good and comfortable. View was very good. However food didnt taste good. The location is really good as it is about 4 km from the city and thus had a nice view, but was not crowded. The service was very quick, and the staff were very kind.
