Located in a small village this is one of the place where u can go for a quick break.Homestay is located in a place from where u can njoy 360 degree view.Rooms r nicely decorated but a little smaller in size.Staffs are very helpful and food is tasty.It has a small cute swimming pool also.Overall a nice place but a bit costly.

Had a wonderful stay at Samthar Greenery Resort for last two days with my colleagues. The location is peaceful and surrounded by beautiful nature. The food was delicious, the ambience was relaxing, and the hospitality was warm and exceptional. Highly recommended for a refreshing getaway.

Nice place .Food quality was very good in Bengali menus. Rooms are well cleaned Every floor was well decorated . Wify is there working more or less ok. The outside lawn was really enjoyable. This hotel have swimming pools. This hotel have nice views in front can see the Kalimpong town and in the back Duwars with Teesta river. Needs some communication system with reception and kitchen with housekeeping from rooms.

The resort is located in a beautiful spot with stunning views all around. What made the experience even better was the staff. Everyone was incredibly polite, friendly, and always ready to help. Their warm hospitality truly made our stay memorable.

I wish, they could maintain cleanliness and hygiene. Found hair in food for two consecutive days. Need to use pesticide spays for immense insects and caterpillars.

It is a very good place to spend our holidays together with near and dear ones. The services are very good. Their behavior is also fantastic. We love the place very much...

Location wise property is very good. But managing staff needs to be more Profesional. Quality of food is very poor . Food quality should improve. No choice of food available .And mainly rooms and dining area is full of Flys.. The only plus point is location and view.

Stunning views ruined by hostile management and poor service.While the location and views of this hotel are excellent, the management and staff are highly unprofessional and hostile.The lack basic training in hospitallity.The property was full, but the team seemed entirely incapable of handling a high volume of guests.Hilly regions naturally face utility challenges, but management should limit bookings to match their capacity. Instead, we were left without basic necessities like consistent water and electricity scarcity . To make matters worse, the staff was discourteous, food options were severely limited, and the kitchen practiced extreme portion control. I cannot recommend this hotel until service improves significantly.

Besides being a hotel it is a good view point also...and if I talk about the management; they're totally awesome they were gentle in behaviour and the manager was also helpful... they're available for all time and will help you anytime you want..the rooms were neat and clean food was also well cooked and served.. giving a 5 stars because it was WORTH IT!!! Wanna go there again ❤️
