Very soothing place to reside, clean rooms, well behaved staff. The food here will surely cheer your taste buds to dance. The rooms here are very well maintained. The view of cloud covered mountains along the bedroom window , a pollution free environment, the tea gardens will surely relax your mind . Overall, a very well place to reside if you want to stay in the laps of mother nature .

Probably the worst homestay I've ever stayed in. There is aajor accessibility issue since the homestay rooms are in the 1st floor, and one needs to climb a lot of unevenly paved and extremely steep stairs to reach to your room. There are 4 rooms, but not a single room features a basin in the attached toilets. Yes you read that right. If you are planning a visit with your friends and family, you have to queue up to wash your hands, just imagine. Upon checking in, we asked for a soap, but were told that soap is not available, it will be provided before check out when we will go to take shower. So no basin and no soap. But wait, it doesn't end here. During breakfast, they served a limited amount of sabzi with puri and when we asked for some more, they said that they didn't have anymore since they were out of stock of potatoes. Lastly, I need to mention that we paid 1800 per person per head for a group of 5 people in 2 rooms, through a tour agency called Chalo Ghure Ashi travels, which is literally double of what is the standard rates of any homestay in the adjoining areas. My soul purpose of this long and detailed review is for fellow travelers to kindly think multiple times before considering this property for spending their hard earned vacation with their loved ones, because I really don't think it is worth the money, at all.
