The hotel is located quite a distance from the city, and cab fares range from 300 to 400 for the ride. The final 150 meters to the place is very steep and challenging for inexperienced drivers. The bed was quite firm, some lights were not functioning, and the restroom had poor drainage, requiring mopping to clear the water. The host was unfriendly and biased, treating guests from KL kindly but being rude to those from TN.

I have never encountered such an impolite host before. If you want a bad experience, this is the place to go. The host is extremely rude to guests. They treat guests poorly, and you can hear the host yelling starting at 6 am. They also say they will close the gate by 8:30 pm. All the photos are AI altered, so don't trust them.

Avoid staying here at all costs. The host is unfriendly, highly unprofessional, and clearly not suited for running a hospitality business. What should have been a peaceful retreat turned into a distressing experience filled with unprovoked verbal attacks fueled by the host's incredible arrogance. I have severe arthritis and cannot sleep on regular beds, often needing to recline in my vehicle. I was upfront about my condition and the number of people in our group at check-in. Instead of showing basic empathy or professionalism, the host immediately treated us with distrust. We accepted every additional charge without hesitation: extra bed fees, extra breakfast fees, and expensive dinners totaling over ₹2,000. We were exemplary guests who paid for everything and communicated openly. However, after our second dinner and before checkout, the host suddenly became enraged, yelling and calling us "Cheaters" and "Fraudsters" without any reason. We never refused payment or disputed any charges. Her inflated ego and unfounded suspicions led her to publicly shame paying guests. Calling this place a "homestay" insults genuine hosts. The host's arrogance, lack of manners, and absence of business ethics are unbearable. Attacking guests who have paid generously and accepted extra fees is not just unprofessional—it is irrational. Save yourself the trouble and stay somewhere else.
