I have pretty mixed feelings about this place. I truly believe the people here try their best to ensure you have a good stay, but everything was a bit off...
The communication with the staff was difficult and they always had to call the owner to discuss. We spoke to the owner via whatsapp and phone, which was always very confusing and felt pushy. But when meeting him shortly in real life, he seemed like a nice guy.
The accommodation is ok and there is a swimming pool, although I expected things to be nicer. We've stayed at better places in Rajasthan for less than a third of the price (but without a swimming pool and not in Sawai Madhopur).
The food we had was not that good and pretty expensive for what you get. Veg fried rice did not have any vegetables in it, it was just plain fried rice.
We had a discussion about whether breakfast was included, although it was clearly stated on Booking. After 2 discussions and a few calls, it was removed from our bill.
The hotel is located quite far from a hard road. So get ready for a bumpy ride! It also seems one of the furthest hotels which meant we were always picked up firt and dropped off last for the safaris.
On the good side: people were very willing to help, the owner arranged jeeps to pick us up at the hotel for a small fee (we bought online tickets via the government website beforehand), the owner's dad arranged a documentary about the tigers in Ranthambore for us during dinner, it's pretty quiet (heard trains during the day, but slept like a baby)
