Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Amazing stay at Great Trails. Was very pleased with the hospitality of all the staff there. The view from the hotel is mesmerizing and the food was delicious. The facilities there such as table tennis and zip lining keep you entertained. Definitely shouldn’t miss out on a stay at GRT Great Trails.

The property staff lead by Mr Arun right from the welcome reception,valet/buggy drivers, accomodation team, restaurant team, housekeeping team are really hospitable and know what they are doing. The property itself is located away from the crowded hustle bustle of the city center. It is surrounded by good views and chirping birds. We stayed in Wooden Charlet and would recommend you to opt this room category for the best experience. Food at whistlers cafe is good, we enjoyed the wide spread of breakfast and dinner. Chef takes immense pride in each and every food item’s quality Morning walk from the property was the best, we were escorted by Mr Arun who was very knowledgeable about the flora & fauna around the property. Overall our stay was memorable and didn’t feel like checking out. We will visit back to the property to experience the hospitality and explore more places around Kodai.
