This looks aesthetic in pictures but we just experienced, "Don't judge a book by its cover" . The rooms like cottages are too small to accommodate people and luggages , they said that they have four bedded room but it is hard to adjust two people in one bed ! We have 11 people with us , their dining hall has not enough place to eat together comfortably . And the most disgusting thing happened to us that the room service was not up to the mark , when we reached out for any assistance they just ignored or refused. Even when we were checking out , that man who runs this cottage asked to give the luggage and keep it on the road one hour before our car arrived as he had to go somewhere else. In this monsoon season, it is the most irresponsible thing that could ever happen. They have 40 stairs to go to the cottage from the road, it is difficult for people who have leg or knee issue. View from each room was not so good. Tinchuley is beautiful but you should choose the homestay wisely. I am sorry for writing this , but I had to do it. It is a humble request to the cottage owner , please try to increase space and manpower , it will be helpful.

আমার দেখা জীবনের সবথেকে বাজে হোমস্টে । কটেজটা বাইরে থেকে দেখতে সুন্দর। ভেতরের কোন কিছুই এরা পরিষ্কার করে না ব্ল্যাঙ্কেট বিছানা ,কোনদিনও বিছানা চাদর পরিষ্কার করেনি এখনো পর্যন্ত । বাথরুম নোংরা বাথরুমে ভালো জল আসে না। ওয়াশরুমেগরম জলের তো কোন ব্যাপারই নাই। নিচের নোম একেবারে জঘন্য। খাওয়া দাওয়ার কোন কোয়ালিটি নাই। এটাও হতে পারে আগের দিনের এঁটো খাবার আপনাকে পরিবেশন করে দেবে। লাঞ্চে আমরা যে স্যালাডগুলো খায়নি, সেই গুলো রাতে দিয়ে দিয়েছে। ভদ্রমহিলার ব্যবহার অত্যন্ত জঘন্য। গরম জল চাইলে দেবে না।ঠান্ডা জলি আপনাকে খেতে হবে। আমরা এখানে দুদিন ছিলাম একদিনও দুধ চা দেয়নি। কিচেনের মধ্যেই ওরা নিজেরা মদ খাচ্ছে।
