"Reviews are split: older stays describe spacious and clean rooms, while recent guests complain of poor maintenance, unclean bathrooms, and thin wooden walls with noise bleed."
"Multiple guests reported that drinking water was refused or not provided, forcing outside purchases; no direct mentions of geyser or hot water reliability."
Drinking water not routinely provided
"Earlier visitors praise helpful staff and tasty meals, but recent feedback sharply criticizes hostile manager behavior, strict rules, and poor or stale food."
Recent complaints regarding manager hostility and food quality
"Noted to be situated in lower Sittong with shops quite far away, but explicit details regarding road conditions and last-mile transit are minimal."
"Conflicting reports; while one reviewer praised the view, others note its lower-hill position provides ordinary or disappointing views compared to higher Sittong."

The services provided here are inadequate....no drinking water facility was provided so we had to purchase water bottles from shops that were quite far from the homestay.... food was not served properly....moreover the bathrooms were not clean....overall it was not a good experience at all

It was a really bad experience for us. First what's with the host's attitude. Before visiting we were asking the host about car details for travelling on WhatsApp he just started misbehaving on WhatsApp voice which we have proof of btw. Then on the day of our arrival we were served stale egg curry at lunch and the stupid host had the audacity to tell us to eat the eggs only and leave the curry. Also the room which we were given was closely attached to the homeowner's room and the whole day we had to listen to the sounds of phone calling, television and what not. Couldn't even get a proper afternoon nap. So , just don't go to this place. There are a bunch of other homestays in Sittong which offers great service.

The view from the homestay is very normal, due to its location. It is not on the top of the hills ( lap of the lower hills). Would not appreciated the manager's behaviour. Everytime you have ask for drinking water in the rooms. There is no room service for basic things as well without asking for it. Food quality as well as the quality is not good. Overall the Suruchi homestay is not recommended for you if you want a good food & other services & good view from the homestay. Don't judge this homestay by its pictures. Overall it is not recommended for friends group, couples as well. This is not a professional behaviour from a owner. How could you so sure that I am the person who create this unwelcoming behaviour? Have you any proofs of that? This is not acceptable and if i will find this kind of comments against me then will take legal action agaist you and your behaviour & words. By the way, I had never seen the owner's room next to the guest rooms. If the owner's room next to the gust room, it means the privacy of the guests get revealed. Either thier rooms are on ground level or top of the building/ structure.

Now I am in Darjeeling. Suruchi was full of guests but the service we received excellent.Rooms and was rooms are near and clean. Bubai da and Anil are so familiar like friends. We have a sweet experience.

Amar Bhattachareya
Place is nice but not in proper upper sittong, food quality and quantity is very poor that they serve, the manager think he is over smart and very claver, he even refuse to serve drinking water to the rooms. Not recommended for newly married couples or family because other visitors knok your wooden wall every time to keep you quite.
Y NOT!!
Worst behaviour of staffs.. specially the manager.. It's located almost at the lower level so view is not good.. The owner of the house has many rules for visitors.. Not recommended at all..
