“Lovely farm and friendly staff but quite different than advertised”
The view from the tree house was beautiful and the farm had a nice ambience. I loved the horses outside and the dining hall staff and cook were very friendly, providing excellent service. The food was good as well. The mountain and sunset view from the treehouse terrace was great, making it a truly unique experience that I booked mainly for that reason. The staff helped me book a train, which I couldn’t do myself as a foreigner, and the driver connected to the hotel assisted with pick‑up and drop‑off for the safari, though the pricing seemed to change at random. The driver could also communicate with the safari guide if I didn’t have an Indian phone number. The day was peaceful and there was plenty of space on the farm, with places to relax such as the pool and firepit area (though the pool was more prominent). The main downside was that the shower had no hot water at all and the water pressure was too low; I had to use a bucket of hot water and alternate between cold and hot to rinse. The toilet flush was also inconsistent. It got very cold at night and there was no heater, so be prepared for that. The nearby hotel’s entertainment kept the place noisy until about 10 pm every night. My room was not cleaned during the stay, so towels weren’t changed, and the wifi didn’t reach my room. Although there were many positives, it felt like I had been sold something else. I don’t think it qualifies as a “resort” and I would never describe it as such to anyone. The room I booked included meals (half‑board), but we were charged for all meals at the end. We were charged for extra snacks we had during the stay (fair), but also for meals we had already paid for online (not fair). It seemed pointless to argue. Be prepared to haggle about rides and drop‑offs, or accept that you’ll likely be overcharged. We were also charged for a few extras at the end, listed only as “extras” on our bill; they claimed it was for the pool. Communication was not always clear, perhaps intentionally. To be clear, I didn’t dislike my stay, but many things were unexpectedly different from what was promised, leaving me with a funny feeling. I think we were had tbh.
