Great place, great view as well. Food is good. Has a pool. ample rooms, parking availabe, huge area. The morning is just breathtaking. Cons- the water heater system. They dont provide geyser. They have something called Surya solar heater, which is absolutely useless. Do keep that in mind while booking it.

I was quite disappointed with my experience at this place. The service was extremely slow, and the lack of cleanliness was very concerning. I definitely would not recommend staying here and will not be returning."

Quiet and peaceful, right in the hills with pretty nature all around. Eat tasty local food, sip hot tea or coffee at the view spot, and watch calm sunsets or sunrises. They give it all with kind, warm service!

Loved the property as a whole. The location, the cottages, accommodation, food, staff behaviour, the dining hall, and the Owner, also our host, we have nothing but to say, it's Good 👍. It's been a short stay but memorable for the huge property on such place. Family,small groups, even couples and friends - this place can accommodate everyone one. Would recommend anyone if asked for an offbeat place.

This property boasts an incredible location spread across an entire hilltop, offering exclusive valley views and spacious open play areas that are perfect for families with kids. However, the experience was hindered by several service issues. We encountered several "upright" concerns: Geysers were non-functional in most rooms, there were no electric kettles (making us entirely dependent on staff for tea/coffee), and daily housekeeping was overlooked. While the owners and staff are exceptionally polite, there is a clear scarcity of resources and the food was only average. It’s a beautiful spot, but the management needs to address these infrastructure and service gaps.
