Cleanliness 43

Eight of us IT colleagues had been to this Homestay last month and had the worst experience. The lunch was pathetic (No hygiene & No taste). The guy who served the food was never aware of hygiene. His fingers were always engaged in either picking his nostrils or scratching his body parts. Drinking water was provided in dirty cans. Upon requesting the Homestay owner to maintain hygiene and provide good food for dinner, dinner was even pathetic. Appetizer Chicken dry was stinking of chlorine, Roti's were like a hard plastic, and chicken gravy was tasteless. Rice was not cooked well and sambar was just red water. We decided to have curd rice at least, unfortunately curd was also too sour. We had to eat the snacks which we brought for trip for dinner. We vacated the Homestay in the morning without Breakfast.

Management 35

The place is good. Rooms are spacious. Food is good, some dishes have excess oil and garlic. Staff friendly but they kept following wherever we went. Could call it stalking? We hate it when staff do not respect privacy of guest. One of the staff slept off in the next room and I had to wake him up. The UPS kept making sound the entire night after power went off.

Worst home stay i have ever stayed so far, in website they say archery and all nothing is available, no proper guidance there. They will charge for each and silly things.food was not up to expectations, no power backup throughout night. Poor service and in bathroom water was getting stuck. water leakage from the roof due to rain. Totally disappointed and not recommended.

I stayed here for one night, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The stay was not worth the money. Although many complimentary services were mentioned, none of them were actually provided, we need to ask that also thousand times. There was also a power issue, Overall, the experience did not meet expectations. I would not recommend this homestay.

The homestay where you can't stay in your vacation. Visited here with 3 kids (2 are 1.5yr old & 1 is 3yr old). No one here bother about what your kids want to eat, you should forcefully feed them what they cook. When we asked the same they said that usually people will carry their own food for kids. Even for adults they won't ask what we want, we need to eat what they cook. The food is not hot too. When we asked for the menu of the breakfast at night, the person who is the caretaker there said that he don't know. They won't serve water in the dining area, when we ask they say that it is chargeable (Only 4 litres of water is complimentary it seems). Homestay owner don't even bother to welcome you and talk to you. They were too nice until they got 50% of advance payment. Utterly disappointed with their service.

Very worst homestay ever, and hospitality is not all good, whatever the things they wrote all are fake, no proper guidance, no proper planning, simply they'll ask for money as extra charge and for girls it's worst place to stay

Unhygienic. Pure waste of money. Nobody can even think of cooking food as bad as this place.

Only one helper is managing the entire homestay, which affects service quality. The owner should hire one or two additional staff for better service. Food quality is good. Rooms are not properly maintained. Wi-Fi connectivity is intermittent. Overall cleanliness needs improvement.

Not worth the money you are paying. Over hyped over priced resort. Apart from location all other things are below average m I booked through home stay advisor apart from booking they won't help you further bcos they get their commission while booking itself. No internet. But for payment while checking out they will provide. Worst thing is they switch off current/ power whole night.

They charge more for what they are giving. |Food average |Location very good |Service below par||They don't interact with customers.|It seems like for the sake of our booking they do the formalities. I won't go there again.||Don't book it with what the homestay advisors saying.
