The hotel owner was very rude and unprofessional.

Worst place for family and friends, best place to send your enemy. Huge property with ZERO maintanence and worst service. Pool with dirty water, rooms with no electricity. Food is pathetic and overpriced, i swear they gave me a bad stomach, for breakfast they would give you 3 options roti,bread or puri. Don't ever think of having the stone like roti and the staff is worse. Avoid going to this place.

Very Awesome Place. Food is very Good but a liitle expensive, but it's worth it.Room Service is also Good. Staff Behaviour is very Polite even the owner also. Rooms are very neet and tidy. Very Well Planned Homestay. Ample Car Parking. Bathroom is Clean and Tidy. But One problem is you will not get mobile tower but Wifi is there. Excellent Homestay.

Arindam Ghosal
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!
