    Terrible experience

    aradhana u.couple

    They serve terrible breakfast. Quilt were not clean and had spots on them. There is no housekeeping service to clean the room. Overall, a bad experience. Please skip this cottage.

    It was an amazing experience staying at Forest Way Cottage. It is a very cozy and amazing place. The caretaker Amit over there made our stay very comfortable. Whatever we required was provided just over a single call. All in all it was a great experience.

    Decent if you want to make it a pitstop

    harshita s.couple

    The hotel is decent for its price, there were no towels or condiments in the room and the staff was absent from the property at all times. We came to an empty reception and had to wait until someone arrived to help check us in. The hotel very weirdly accepted only aadhar card as a valid id proof.

    Worst stay with zero hospitability

    rohan.loyalty-iconfamily

    Terrible stay and hospitality. Their property is situated too far from any local market and commute is very difficult. They don’t have a restaurant kitchen to serve you food. They bring food from a different property of theirs in a packet and you’ll have to help yourself with all the cutlery which is kept in a working kitchen in the room itself but these are all very unhygienic and had oil stains. Owner provided a handwritten bill with gst amount levied on it stating that we brought it from a different property which is not correct. Bedsheets were also having stains which as per owner are oil stains while getting them dry cleaned. Even after complaining, he did not change the bedsheet. Hygiene is another big concern here. When i checked in there was a cigarette packet left in the room with something stuffed in it. Also, working kitchen had garlic peels left in the trolleys. Overall, i would suggest to not stay here even if you’re offered it for free.

    View was fine. Room is good. But cleanliness is not up to the mark. After requesting 2, 3 times they changed used bedsheets and pillow covers.

    The property is nice and has a nice view from the outside, but the room wasn't that clean. Not good for non smokers to say. But you can enjoy sitting outside or in the balcony.
