📝Detailed Experience - We booked a specific cottage room one month in advance, **paying 60% upfront** as required. - The booking was reconfirmed a day before check-in. - On arrival, however, no room was provided — all rooms had already been given to other tourists. - We were forced to spend the night in their optional fallback rooms. If we had rejected that room, it would have simply been passed on to another guest. Other tourists faced the same situation. - After speaking with multiple people, it became clear this is a common practice at this property. - Tourists are left with no choice but to compromise, since traveling outside after 4–5 PM is not possible in that location. - No one takes responsibility for the situation; only partner coordinators respond via phone. --- ⚠️ Verdict - Overbooking issue: They accept multiple bookings for the same room. - Poor management & communication: Neither the homestay nor booking partners handle accountability. - Food quality: Average, only if you’re lucky. - Room & amenities: Beds, blankets, geysers, and other basics are poorly maintained. --- 🚫 Recommendation Avoid this place if you’re traveling as a small group (2–4 people). The same disappointing experience may repeat.

আমরা গিয়েছিলাম 14th MARCH, পরিবেশ লোকেশন অসাধারণ, কিন্তু cottage room & food খুব খারাপ, পরদিন আমাদের 10tar সময়ে checkout করার কথা ছিল কিন্তু আমরা এতই হতাশ ছিলাম সকাল 8 ta তে বের হয়ে যাই, ওখানে গেলে অন্তত cottage room নেবেন না,

The Homestay has a full panoramic view of snow clad Kanchenjunga .. the room has wooden floor and is quite comfortable. The caretaker was also very friendly and took special care of our food preferences and made sure we are comfortable and feeling at home every moment .. a pleasant experience indeed ❤️😍 And worthy of mentioning the night lights of Kalimpong seen from a distance - absolute bliss

A splendid destination to spend your weekend here. Located in the outskirts of Lolegaon , with a 360 degree captivating view of majestic Mount Kanchenjunga.

Dirty rooms, dirty bedsheets & blankets. There are full of leeches all over the garden. Its very dangerous to stay with babies. Not at all recommended.

Totally misleading property. Dirty room, dirty pillows. The cottages are too small. Big bugs are seen in room at night. We are terrified to sleep at night here. Never come here.

The stay is really really nice. Our whole group just loved it. It was totally disconnected from the busy life but had full internet access. And nothing to say about the view. The stay provides a 180° view of Kanchenjunga and we were lucky enough to enjoy the mesmerizing view of the mountain even in the monsoon. The food was also nice! One must check it if his/her moto is to enjoy the ambience of North Bengal ❤️❤️❤️🏔️
