Moustache Shoja, Jibhi

I want to share my detailed experience for anyone visiting Shoja and booking Moustache as their stay, as mine was very disappointing, mainly due to the manager's behavior. We reserved a private room with a balcony, but at check-in, the manager was sarcastic and rude. He refused to accept cash payment without giving any reason, simply insisting on online payment. After we settled in and were about to leave for Jalori Pass, he took our private room keys and refused to return them, even though our valuables were inside. This made the extra payment for a private room pointless. His excuse was that we might lose the keys, which felt very unwelcoming. The room lacked AC, the bathroom smelled bad, and the bedsheets were stained, making it feel unhygienic. The path to Moustache involves a 5-7 minute steep hike, and we chose this place despite that, only to face such poor management and attitude. We had planned to extend our stay but had to change our plans because of this treatment.

The place was very good, amazing amenities . Very polite staff. It was a lovely stay with an amazing view every morning. Food was also amazing. You dont need to go out their own cafe is amazing.

During my solo trip, I had a wonderful time at Moustache Shoja. The place is nestled among stunning mountains, offering serene and rejuvenating views. The hostel was tidy, well-kept, and had a cozy, inviting vibe. I especially want to highlight Chhavi sir for his kindness and helpfulness.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. There was no room service, only self-service, which was not disclosed beforehand. The mobile network signal was very weak, making it hard to stay connected or work remotely. If you visit in July, expect even more difficulties due to weather and connectivity problems, making it unsuitable for professionals needing reliable mobile access. The staff were unhelpful and unresponsive when I needed help. Also, the road to the hotel is in bad shape, especially during the monsoon, making it hard to reach. Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel because of the lack of basic amenities, poor network, unhelpful staff, and difficult access.

If you are a comfort traveler then avoid this. It has decent rooms. When we stayed, there was power outage, we struggled with internet and electricity cuts. If you can survive without these, then it is a nice place. The con of this place is that there is 200 meter walking trek due to which we find it hard to step out at night for dinner. The only positive thing was the view from rooms and Jaani's cafe.
