About property

Five kilometres away from the city centre of mesmerizing Blue City of Jodhpur, lay a lake of mythical proportions known by the name Balsamand Lake. This stupendous lake was designed as a water basin, which extends over a kilometre in length, fifty meters in breadth, and fifteen meters in depth. Although the lake was built in the 12th century, the magnificent red stone palace that flanks the lake was built in the 17th century by Maharaja Jaswant Singh I of Jodhpur. In recent years, the exquisite palace has been transformed into one of the best heritage hotels in Jodhpur - WelcomHeritage Bal Samand Lake Palace. It now stands as a testament of old-world charm and modern muse fused together. One gets transcended into a fairy-tale once they step into this majestic Palace set amidst 60 acres of private estate frilled with fruit orchards, manicured lawns, and flower gardens. Take a romantic walk through the boulevard on the lake that leads to the palace or dine out like a princess amidst the fragrance of seasonal florals in any of the restaurants that dot the massive garden. If you want to have a taste of royalty while being comforted by modern facilities, then this is the best hotel in Jodhpur Rajasthan to be at.

Royal Escape with Nature, Hospitality, and Character

Alex E on May 07, 2025

We stayed at Bal Samand Lake Palace during the off-season (May 2 - May 7) and were absolutely enchanted. As Western travelers from the U.S., we were looking for a tranquil yet unique experience in Jodhpur—and this place delivered. The Highlights: Impeccable Staff: Every member of the team was friendly, professional, and attentive. The managers in particular spoke good English and regularly checked in to ensure we were comfortable. We felt genuinely cared for throughout our stay. Immersive Nature: The grounds are alive with birds, langurs, palm squirrels, horses, friendly dogs, and even fish in the lake and canal. It felt like a peaceful sanctuary. Stunning Grounds: Beautifully maintained gardens, mature trees, and scenic lake views created a magical, romantic setting. We especially loved morning and evening walks around the property. Historic Meets Modern: The palace itself has an old-world charm, tastefully balanced with modern comforts. The rooms were spotless and thoughtfully appointed. Dining Options: We appreciated the flexibility of choosing different packages and the option to dine indoors or outdoors. We tried the high tea with an Indian twist and thoroughly enjoyed it. Breakfast (included) was another highlight—tasty, with healthy options that sat well with our stomachs. The Pool: Clean, serene, and well-maintained—perfect for a refreshing dip in the heat. Jeep Tour: A must-do! We got to explore areas of the grounds we’d never have discovered on our own, including interesting trees and hidden spots with stories. Accessibility: Ubers and tuk-tuks were easy to arrange, and the location offers a peaceful retreat just far enough from the busy city to enjoy cleaner air and quiet nights. What Could Be Improved: Laundry Prices: Be aware that laundry service is quite pricey, and no price sheet was presented upfront. A small load ended up costing as much as a good dinner. Inactive Peacock Fountain: We understand this was due to the off-season, but it was still a bit of a letdown as it’s clearly the centerpiece of the grounds. Hot Water System: At the palace building, hot water was not available, which was unexpected. Fortunately, the weather was hot enough that it didn’t affect us much. Suggestions for Management: The baori (stepwell) on-site is a fascinating structure but could benefit from some restoration or signage—it’s the kind of feature Western guests would love to learn about and photograph. Consider offering boat rides, bicycle rentals, or even glamping tents to further enhance the experience. The property has so much untapped potential! Lastly, we suggest improving the website and package visibility—we would have planned a longer stay if we had known more about the à la carte options in advance. Final Thoughts: Despite a few minor hiccups, our experience was overwhelmingly positive. The combination of heritage, hospitality, nature, and peace made us feel like royalty. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it wholeheartedly.

We arrived quite late night, we could see the grounds looked beautiful. Check in was very slow and not as professional we would want, they actually gave us the wrong room at the start. Our room wasn't the theme we would have expected in Rajasthan, however it was very large and had all the facilities. The worst part was the noise from the club it was absolutely hell!! until 3am it was non stop. Even after we complained they told us they could not do anything about it. This also was made worse by the noises from other guests. The rooms are very close to each other and the noise was just constant. Guests had no consideration for any one else. On a positive the food was lovely and the grounds were beautiful, unfortunately the noise was just unbearable. Not worth the price and luxury we paid for.

Apart from the landscaping, horses and peacock, the experience was a mess. At start, The hospitality team on the front desk was very unwelcoming while the welcome, even after arranging a cake for birthday and and sourcing the local flowers, her tone and her face had no grace, no smile but attitude. This horrible service continued at the open candle light dinner. There were only 3 people service managing 100-150 people. out of which 2 were from the BAR counter. On asking for arranging for 2 extra chair on the table, they ignored for 15 min, until I had to lift those heavy chairs from the other end of the ground to my spot. The Food was equally terrible. Even after specially mentioning them to not make it not spicy, They did the complete opposite. We literally left 2/3 of the food. The french fries which i had already ordered at the room but later choose to eat the diner table' even that got him 15 min to plate it and bring on table. Next morning, assuming it was a bad day yesterday and not their fault, My parents wanted to had tea near the dam, on requesting the 3 extra chairs at the front, he said yes, and disappeared. on requesting the staff who got us tea, he denied, that it's not allowed and he will not do it. Even though last evening there were 15 people sitting there. Even my driver got mugged by the staff, He purchased diner coupon worth Rs.20 but since he didn't had a change, he paid Rs.200 to staff were the staff promised he would give the change back in sometime, and he was not seen the next morning also.... It was my father's birthday and I was really looking forward to a great experience there, but BAL SAMAND disappointed me, even after spending SO MUCH!!

The palace is an architectural masterpiece and is tastefully decorated to preserve the bygone era. The staff is courteous and polite.The lake is pristine and a sight to behold and make sure to watch sunset/sunrise by the lake. Kudos to the team at Bal Samand lake palace.
