"As a wildlife photographer who frequently travels across different jungles and wilderness destinations, I had my first visit to Manas Tiger Reserve last weekend, and my stay at Musa Jungle Retreat made the experience even more memorable. After looking through different accommodation options, I finally chose this place based on my guide’s recommendation, and I’m genuinely happy with the decision. The food was excellent, the room service was prompt, and the rooms were extremely spacious and comfortable. Initially, we had booked the Grazing Rhino room, which itself was very good, but since the villas were available, we upgraded — and it turned out to be an excellent decision. The villa had plenty of space, including a comfortable sitting area and a dining space where we enjoyed all our meals. One thing that stood out was the hospitality of the staff. Despite continuous heavy rains, the staff ensured hot food was delivered quickly and properly packed in casseroles. A special appreciation to the kitchen and service staff for their dedication and courteous attitude throughout the stay. The biggest highlight of this property is definitely its location — right opposite the forest. Watching elephants and rhinos grazing from the room itself was an unforgettable experience. And as a wildlife enthusiast, spotting a black leopard barely 100 meters from the property made the trip even more special. The only areas I feel could improve are the bathrooms, which looked slightly worn out for a property of this standard, and the front desk experience, which could be a little warmer and more welcoming. Overall, this is absolutely a place I would recommend to anyone visiting Manas Tiger Reserve."

"It was an awesome stay in that resort. Awesome place and cool environment. The staff's behaviour is very polite and cool. Nice service and great tasty food. I recommend everyone to visit this place once."

"Ended up here after strong independent recommendations from two different friends and did nor regret our decision. Located on the Manas national park border, the forest feel continues within the resort with its many tall trees and bamboo growing all across the property. The nicely designed cottages were clean, comfortable and cosy. The staff was helpful and helped organise all our safari trips including to the recently opened Kahitama range and the fun elephant interaction. Located as it was at the edge of the park, we saw rhinos grazing not so far from the property, which was exciting. The immersive walk around the nearby Bodo village was also a memorable experience. Special thanks to Mr Shakti Singh Shekhawat who went beyond his call of duty to organise emergency medicines for me by waking up a village chemist post 9pm. Definitely recommend."

"This is a good budget resort to stay in Manas. It’s also great for sighting wild animals, as it’s bordering the forest boundary. We sighted a rhino with her cub as well as an Indian bison sitting in the hotel itself. The stay is comfortable and homely. Staff are friendly and helpful. The only complaint is, very limited menu and the food price is exorbitant."
