I have been going to this resort for last 16-17 years. Over the years, I enjoyed staying at this place with family and friends, almost making annual visits. The hotel has not been maintained the way once it was, especially toilets in the rooms. Family rooms are plenty and large to accomodate 3-4 member families and we have had good... More

Brightland Resorts, Matheran is a very expensive resort for the quality of both its boarding and lodging. We checked it recently for a three days family package for a cost of nearly Rs. 20,000/- We have been going to Matheran every year for the last 15 years and have stayed at several different resorts and hotels. We had stayed at... More

We have gone through our records and have no records of this visitor having visited our resort, the details given in by this visitor seems from a competitor and is very unlikely and to misguide other travelers and defame our resort. Our resort is rather a one up resort in line with the other hotels in matheran. The food quality... More

I've stayed at this hotel on a few occasions but the last time I was here I was a little disappointed to see that the hotel is not as well maintained as it used to be. They have taken rustic to another level - and I don't mean that in a good way... While I agree that some of the... More

Located in the center of India's No pollution city of Matheran, Brightlands Resort is one of the oldest property in the Hillock city of Matheran. It is overpriced and rather poorly maintained. The rooms are large but need big time maintenance. The baths are extremely small and rather misfit to the size of the rooms. The furniture needs a desperate... More

Ohh, wish I would have read the reviews about this hotel, before I booked it. This hotel need to change everything. Starting from room interior painting, washroom equipments, beds & mattresses, everything….. We never had food in this hotel, so can’t comment on it. Fortunately, we changed hotel next day. Good architect & a good manager is what it needed.

We have not had any guests by this name and all our packages are with food. Hence it is highly impossible for checking out the very next day. More

Brightlands has run down both with time and change of owners. It was much better when Adi Bharucha was there. Rooms are spacious but need a lot of pepping up. Breakfast and the meals are very palatable. Staff very friendly and helpful. The room I lived in had a TV and a Fridge. Pool is small but clean. Evenings have... More
