    Breakfast and dinner was ok not fully professional and took time to be prepared and served, they did best but according to there advertisements things were little different and I feel thats what we can expect. I struggled with hot water, cold weather and having shower in cold water really upsetted me. It didn't even last 15min and turn to cold. That needs to be taken action as I struggle other guest would do same.

    Nothing really.

    The location and views were amazing exposing the Shimla city in the mountains. The sunrise and sunset was heavenly. The design of the property was very modern and amenities were nice. Very clean and spacious as well had the suite. The staff were very kind, courteous and friendly and at your service. The food was cooked on site by this amazing chef and he took his time to make your food of your choice. There was never a no to anything! Wish we had stayed longer. The property was secluded away from the city.

    It was a little further out of town than we expected. But w we found a great taxi driver who helped a lot. Being so far out it was very quiet which was great.

    The freshness and firings all so solid and high quality. The bed very comfortable. The view amazing. Home cooked food great. Staff very helpful.

    Very attentive staff. Amazing food. Beautiful views. Clean. Close enough to Shimla centre (the ridge/mall) by taxi. Great value for money. If you can, worth getting a room with a view - loads of natural light and cool balcony.

    Nothing to dislike

    Location - serene and quiet View - absolutely fantastic Rooms and property- its a great and well maintained homestay with modern amenities Food - brilliant home cooked and fresh What makes it stand out - the hospitality is above anything else. Rohit and other 2 caretakers will not let you miss home. Another thing is the quietness around. It just oozes peace. Make sure you select the suite with balcony option. Thats the one with the view. There is a deluxe room option but that doesn’t have any view. I can’t thank the owner and team here for a really amazing stay we had. Will come back for sure.

    No inter-connected rooms however, we got next to next rooms but they were not connected that's all. Probably a little more powerful room heating system would be a nice thing to have especially in a place like Shimla.

    If you're looking for a wonderful stay in Shimla, look no further than this place! The staff took such good care of us that we felt like we were staying in our own private resort. It was truly a haven, a place where we could relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Shimla. Overall, our experience was fantastic. If you're looking for a wonderful getaway, this place is definitely worth considering. The people, the place, the atmosphere - everything was perfect. The food was freshly prepared and served like home. We couldn't have asked for a better stay, and we can't wait to come back again. Highly recommended!

    The hotel is far from Shimla and with no car service hence better to come with your own car. For site visit, trekking, etc. Plan before coming, there is no information available at the hotel.

    The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with a nice view. The home made cooking is really tasty with enough variety for few days

    Depending on your reason for travel, slight downside might be distance from central Shimla, about 25 minutes by car. Accommodation requested Indian bank money transfer to confirm booking, which we could not do as visiting from overseas but they kindly made an exception for us to pay on arrival.

    Very spacious clean modern room. Large comfortable bed. Balcony with fantastic views. Very generous meals and accommodating hosts. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

    My only issue was that I requested for a half board option which i was ready to pay to extend my stay a little longer maybe till 4 or 5 PM as my bus back to Delhi was at 9 PM however i was told to pay the full day charge if I were to avail this option. I maybe wrong but I believe the homestay was empty and I think we were the only occupants and hence I don't know why I was told to pay for one full day when a half day payment could have easily been arranged and hence they could have been more accommodating. Apart from this my stay was comfortable and the place is great.

    The room, the staff, the location and the view from the balcony for the suite room is top notch. The food we tried was below average (Mutton curry) as the meat was tough and fatty (Maybe it's made this way in the region. Not sure). The breakfast was okay and nothing to write home about.
