Our stay at this villa in Lonavala was unfortunately quite disappointing. While the pictures on the booking looked promising, the actual condition of the villa was far from satisfactory and needs serious attention.
Firstly, the villa was poorly maintained – half of the furniture including the sofa, chairs, and bedroom wardrobes were broken. There were leakages in almost every bedroom, making the stay uncomfortable. The bathrooms were not clean and definitely not up to any decent hygiene standards.
What made matters worse was the state of the kitchen – we found rotten vegetables inside the fridge and kitchen trolleys, which led to cockroaches roaming around the utensils. This was extremely unhygienic and unacceptable.
The host was unhelpful and came across as rude, and the caretaker was unavailable when needed. When we requested him to get a few groceries for tea around 5 PM, he refused saying he’s only available till 5 PM – something that wasn’t mentioned anywhere or by the host. He also responded rudely
But the most alarming issue was the electric current we felt while using the bathroom taps and flush. When we brought this up, the caretaker brushed it off with an absurd excuse, which was extremely irresponsible and dangerous, especially since we were traveling with family.
Overall, I would not recommend this villa to anyone. The lack of maintenance, hygiene, and basic courtesy made it a very unpleasant experience.
