I had an incredibly disappointing experience at Pinto's Farm Stay. The owner seemed more focused on profits than on delivering a quality experience. Despite being promised a resort room, we were instead given a container box at the last minute with no option for a refund. The washrooms were in a deplorable state, with faulty plumbing, flushing issues, and even a commode without a seat. There was no food service, proper maintenance, or basic amenities, making the stay highly uncomfortable. Although the location has potential, the overall experience fell far below expectations. I strongly recommend avoiding this place—it’s more likely to cause stress than offer relaxation.

On November 27, 2024, we reserved two AC rooms and one non-AC room at Pintos Farm Stay Resort, Kinnigoli (Mangalore) for December 25, 2024, and paid an advance to confirm the booking. Mrs. Cynthia, the owner, confirmed the reservation via WhatsApp for our three families (eight people and a pet). However, despite not writing a review about our terrible experience, a call from Mrs. Cynthia today questioning my daughter about a false review which she assumed was posted by her, led me to finally share our awful experience. On December 25, 2024, while en route to the resort, we called Mrs. Cynthia to inform her of our estimated arrival time. To our shock, she informed us that there was no booking under our name. Despite insisting that we had a confirmed reservation, she claimed there was no such booking but assured us she would find a solution. We were left confused and unsure of what to do with three families and a pet at the last minute. After some time, she said they would provide container room accommodations. Given our situation with a pet, we reluctantly accepted. Upon arrival, we were given two container accommodations that lacked basic facilities. A particularly shocking expe

I had an extremely disappointing experience at Pinto's Farm Stay. The owner is all talk, prioritizing money over customer satisfaction. We were promised a resort room, but were given a container box at the last minute, with no offer of a refund. The washrooms were in appalling condition, with non-functional plumbing and flushing issues. There was no food service or proper maintenance, and basic amenities were lacking, including a commode without a seat. While the location itself has potential, the overall experience was far from acceptable. This place requires serious improvementI strongly advise against considering it for your getaway; it will be more stressful than relaxing.

I had a terrible experience at Pinto's Farm Stay. The owner is a smooth talker and is only interested in money, and isn't Bothered about customer service or satisfaction. We were promised a resort room, but at the last minute, we were given a container box instead, with no refund offered. The washrooms were in a dreadful condition—non-functional with water and flushing issues. There was no food or maintenance, and basic amenities were missing. The commode didn't even have a seat. The location in itself is good, but the overall experience was far from acceptable. This place needs serious improvements or should be shut down. Do not even consider this place for your time off. It's more stressful than your regular jobs .

Pinto Farmstay is the epitome of false advertising and poor hospitality. The rooms shown online are not available, leaving guests to stay in filthy, pest-ridden accommodations. Cockroaches and lizards are everywhere, and hygiene standards are non-existent. The so-called "cottages" that require an extra charge are little more than dirty tin sheds. Staff behavior is shockingly rude and dismissive, with no effort made to resolve complaints. Every day, new guests face the same issues, resulting in constant arguments. Avoid this place at all costs—it’s simply not worth the hassle.

We were group of 5 and stayed for 2 nights (23-25 Dec) and booked containers. It was an unpleasant experience. Negative things- 1. Containers were very small with stinky bathrooms. Bathrooms became swimming pool when you take shower because no proper outflows. 2. In the advertisement they say kitchen is available in the room but there is only a slab and no utensils. 3. the owner lady is only interested in money. 4. No proper barbecue set up as advertised. 5. There was a mehandi party and owner informed us that loud music will be till 11 PM however they were playing loud music after midnight and disturbing us. Positive - 1. Swimming pool is good. 2. Simon and Deva both caretakers are helpful. Overall unpleasant experience and would not recommend it.

The listing on booking platforms paints a completely false picture of what you’ll actually find at Pinto Farmstay. The advertised rooms simply don’t exist, and guests are left with substandard alternatives. The place is crawling with cockroaches and lizards, and basic cleanliness seems to be completely overlooked. Staff are not only unhelpful but also incredibly rude when concerns are raised. To make matters worse, the so-called "cottages" are nothing more than filthy tin containers, utterly unfit for accommodation. This stay was deeply disappointing, and I strongly urge others to avoid this place at all costs.

What a bad experience! The owner is only interested in profit making and is unbothered about customer service. Nobody should even consider this place for a get away. No facilties or even basic amenities. Highly problematic and irritating.

Pinto Farmstay turned out to be a complete disaster. The rooms promised in the online listings were unavailable, and the replacements were dirty, pest-ridden, and poorly maintained. Cockroaches and lizards were a constant sight, and the so-called "cottages" they charge extra for were essentially tin sheds in terrible condition. The staff were not just unhelpful but actively rude, making every interaction feel hostile. Each day, we saw new guests having the same confrontations with management over false advertising. This place is best avoided.

Avoid Pinto Farmstay - Misleading and Unhygienic Pinto Farmstay was a disaster from start to finish. The Booking.com listing is misleading, advertising rooms that don't exist. The place is infested with cockroaches and lizards, and cleanliness is clearly not a priority. Daily arguments with guests over false promises are common, and they charge extra for a so-called "cottage," which is just an unclean tin container. To top it off, the staff are rude and unprofessional. Save your time, money, and sanity—avoid this place entirely.

We visited this place on 21st Dec and checked out on 22nd Dec. The farm is really good. The owner of the farm Cintia is only interested in the money. She was constantly asking for the money as soon as she got the money she was not seen around. Again when we went for dinner she called and asked that we need to pay the tax of 380 rupees. We paid that immediately. She never asked about the the stay there or anything . We booked 2 rooms they initially provided 1 water bottle after asking they provided the 2nd complementary bottle that too after calling they provided. There was too much mosquitoes in the room. No mosquito net and no oil in good night machine. They charged 2000 for ac room but no basic amenities in this covid time like soap. The lock of window was not even working . I would never recommend this stay because of the unprofessional behaviour of the owner of the stay . I have to edit this review again as i cannot reply to the owners comments. I agree with the owner that the booking was not in my name but it was in my frnds name Aswathi Pillai for 21st Dec 2021. Me (Rabin Bhattacharya) visited this place along with my frnd Aswathi and Subin Pillai.We Initially booked 1 AC ro

One of the worst resort i ever visited. Lack of maintenance . The workers are not friendly and the swimming pool is full of dirt and forgs. The room facility is not upto the mark. Its not worth to give a single star. Don't visit the resort the day will go useless.
