### 8/10 Good

#### Prashant

15 Apr 2025

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

Very friendly staff. Excellent hospitality. Ideal for family stay. Only dislike was location as it was bit off the road - we had senior citizens with us so walking uphill was bit difficult.

##### Prashant

Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025

### 2/10 Terrible

#### Aastha

7 Dec 2024

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

Wrong location given on map, it literally take you to a wall on top of a hill, however the property is 3-4kms far from the location on map that too with narrow roads. Property condition is also too bad, rooms are dirty with damp walls, broken floor and broken beds. It's worse than a 1 star property. 

##### Aastha

Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024
