We wanted to have an experience nearer to home. The stay was just too short. Wish have more time to explore more spots. Overall highly recommended for one who want to explore nature and same time a holiday away from home.

Mandai Rainforest Resort is fantastic choice for families with young children who love nature, animals, and unique experiences. Nice lake/garden view from hotel rooms and good variety for the buffet breakfast with Champagne provided. Kids love the indoor and outdoor kids club also the infinity pool. There are more newly opened restaurants nearby.

Beautiful resort! The location is peaceful and surrounded by nature, with a stunning design. The only thing is that it’s a bit far from the city center, so it depends on whether you’re looking to fully disconnect from the urban hustle. Definitely recommended!
Response from Property: Dear Guest,Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. I’m delighted you enjoyed the peaceful rainforest setting and the resort’s design. While we are indeed a little further from the city, I’m glad you appreciated the chance to fully disconnect and relax in nature.

Nice new hotel and good location IF you are planning full schedule around the Mandai zoos. However, if you plan to spend few days in city part of Singapore, location is too too far. Also, pool has very limited seating, so if you want a chair, head over early. Rooms are quite small for a family of 4 (2 kids under 8), and air conditioning air flow hits the head of one of the beds, therefore difficult to get a good nights rest. Hotel with sustainable concept, recycling water bottles and restricted air conditioning temperature.
Response from Property: Dear Wing Ming Wilma,Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you appreciated our new hotel and convenient location for exploring the Mandai zoos. We understand that our location may feel distant for those spending time in the city, and your points about pool seating and room size for families are well noted.We also appreciate your recognition of our sustainable initiatives, including water bottle recycling and energy-conscious air conditioning settings. Your comments on air flow and comfort are important, and we will review these to enhance guest experience.Thank you again for sharing your insights. We hope to welcome you and your family back for another visit.Warm regards,Glen CookGeneral Manager

Hotel was clean and ambience was nice too. I requested for a wheelchair accessible room with light decoration for birthday. It was up to my expectation and they also gave a complementary whole cake. Hotel service was good too and the staffs were helpful and friendly. However, they should have more amenities available and also set up a place with aircon (like a mini lounge) for people to rest and relax.
Response from Property: Dear Guest,Dear Valued Guest,Thank you for sharing your experience with us.We’re glad to hear that the room met your expectations and that you enjoyed the birthday decorations and complimentary cake.

Very nice view of the reservoir at the swimming pool at the rooftop. The resort is tucked at the corner of the Mandai wildlife reserve, so it has a a very peaceful vibe. Aircon temperature can only be set min of 24C. So might feel hot in the afternoon.
Response from Property: Dear TJWW,Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the serene reservoir views and peaceful surroundings of our resort.We appreciate your feedback regarding the air conditioning settings. As part of our sustainability efforts, the minimum temperature is set to 24°C to reduce environmental impact, but we understand this can affect comfort during warmer afternoons and will take this into consideration for future improvements.We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay soon.Warm regards,Glen CookGeneral Manager

We had a really pleasant stay. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Although there was a queue for breakfast, we were warmly escorted to Forage, where the hospitality was excellent and made the experience enjoyable. The only minor downsides were the occasional disconnection of the smart TV and the limited number of lifts, which could lead to some waiting during peak hours. Overall, it was a great stay, and I would definitely recommend it.

What a shocking stay. Supposedly new property but so many things that did not work. The phone in the room didn't work so we had to go down to concierge every time we needed something. The TV and the water dispenser in the room also didn't work. The room is clean and nice but I am still so mad I pad 5 star price for aged 4 star or even 3star infrastructure. F&B option is so limited around the hotel and grab delivery would cost you 7-10 bucks per trip given remote location. The pool is so tiny and dirty. Overall not a satisfying stay.
Response from Property: Dear Guest,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're truly sorry to hear about the multiple inconveniences you experienced during your stay — particularly with the in-room amenities and the limited accessibility to services due to our location.While we’re a new resort and still in the process of fine-tuning our operations, we fully understand that these issues affected your overall experience, and we apologise for falling short of your expectations. Your comments have been shared with our maintenance and operations teams for immediate review and improvement.We do appreciate your kind words on the room’s cleanliness and design, and hope we might have the chance in future to deliver a better and more seamless stay for you.Warm regards,Glen CookGeneral Manager

A relaxing, peaceful and enjoyable resort. The children loved the experience. The room was spacious and comfortable. Lovely swimming pool with a gorgeous view of the reservoir. Food was above average but the spread at the dinner buffet can be improved. The staff.throughout is excellent. The front desk and restaurant personnel were outstanding. Worth a stay for a day or two. Visiting the nearby attractions was a treat.

Very convenient to Zoo/ River Wondering / bird paradise, by walk or bus ~ Facilities still look very new coz of recent opening, on the other side , the service staff seem also very inexperienced , not sure about the shuttle bus timing, how to walk to the ranger club etc. All in all, really depends on what you aim for staying in Baynan tree, for the view, convenience or for the service
