Cosmos Himalayan Villas Reviews, Ranikhet

1. hotel location is good from scenic beauty perspective; but bad from connectivity perspective. so book this hotel only if you have a vehicle. 2. over-priced. apart from food, there are no service provided. they do not even help to book a car for sight seeing. beds are not so comfortable. however they provide room heater which is good. 3. food is cooked by the care-taker and served to room. so people who like home food will like it. but food options are less.

The hotel is a group of independent cottages leased by COSMOS. Very nice location, away from the mall road noises. The caretakers are very nice. I called the hotel and they gave me contact details of one of the local taxi drivers, who was nice and took decent charges. He picked us up from Kathgodam Railway station. The hotel is around 1.5 km walk from the main mall road of Ranikhet. The sunset view from cottages balcony is amazing so we did not travel to the sunset points which are around 30-40 km. The food is almost like home. Overall, we had a very nice experience.

This is not a hotel at all - it's some guys private bungalow, in which he's kept a caretaker (cleaner, cook, & everything else)

This is truly a resort and well maintained. Great care has been taken for comfort of guests. Considering difficult approach to resort, we were assisted by staff to reach the resort. Location is very good and view outside is excellent. Only, precaution one has to take is to plan all their meal requirement in advance and tell the caretaker of resort. Resort provides personalized services by care taker who is ready to meet all your needs. Except tea, guest can not get any thing to eat unless informed in advance. Its unique experience and we thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance and resort facilities. Electricity outage is a problem as resort has no power back up. We faced difficulty in hot water for bath in the morning. Resort owner may please look in to this. In spite of all, its wonderful experience to stay and its great value for money. Occupancy is also a problem as itÂ’s away from city and not have regular hotel facilities.

We stayed at cottages facing Himalayan Hills. The view from there was fantastic, hotel staff was very co-operative. I will definitely suggest people to stay there.
