Guests have praised the friendly and helpful staff, along with the delicious breakfast and comforting meals, especially the main courses. Despite the positives, some reviews pointed out issues with hygiene and cleanliness, such as dirty bathtubs and dusty areas.

    Poor Stay

    The host was supportive and friendly but the stay was not worth it. Its absolutely not worth the price. The bathtub was dirty, there was no hot running water too.

    Okayish stay!

    sarthak d.couple

    The staff was polite, and the host, harsh, was approachable and accommodating. However, the hygiene of the property was a nightmare. The quilt was torn from multiple places but was replaced when we requested it. The room had spider webs, and we found several spiders on and around the bed. The bedsheet was dirty upon arrival, which we had to ask to be changed immediately. The tray used for serving glasses was extremely dusty, and the room, along with the washroom, had a strange odor. The washroom also had used soaps and a broken dispenser. While the staff did their best, the cleanliness was far below acceptable standards. If maintained well, this place will be a great place to stay.

    Delighted !

    puni g.loyalty-iconfamily

    I recently spent an unforgettable getaway at the kaivalya luxury retreat and it exceeded my expectations in every way! from the moment i arrived, the warm and welcoming staff and the host mr. Harsh and mr. Ravi made me feel like royalty. The luxurious cottage was immaculate, with a stunning view of the surrounding landscape and valley. The food was exceptional, with a diverse range of options to suit every taste. What truly made my stay special, however, was the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my every need was met, from arranging activities to providing personalized recommendations. Highlights of my stay included a sunset hike with breathtaking views, and a delightful dinner at the cottage. I left feeling refreshed, revitalized, and already planning my return. If you're seeking a tranquil and indulgent escape, look no further than kaivalya luxury retreat. Five stars aren't enough - i'd give it ten!

    Dear Nitin Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you we dissatisfied with you stay. We would like to address your concerns- 1) wifi So we have Jio Airfibre with 100mbps plan available here and it is working pretty good 2) Food - You guys first asked what is not available and then order the same don’t know what kind of joke was that. we have almost 60 options available and always there are 2-3 dishes that we can’t prepare according to the season. 3) Location - our property is 100 metres inside from the road and it is clearly mentioned in the discription and i bet if you can get better views from any other location. Please understand the meaning of offbeat locations it’s not like Shimla or Manali. We hosted almost 30 repeated guests in just 9 months and that’s due to hospitality and location I think. Anyways Thanks

    Dear Kirti sorry for the inconvenience. Btw that road is just an option if anyone have walking issues. We have clearly mentioned that our property is 100 mts away from the road. We are preparing the road upto our property (that one you are talking about ) Thank you

    An unforgettable stay at kaivalya - exceptional hospitality

    daleep s.loyalty-iconbusiness

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at kaivalya, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment i arrived, mr. Harsh’s warm hospitality made me feel right at home. His attention to detail and dedication to ensuring every guest has a comfortable and memorable stay is truly commendable. The property itself is stunning, with serene surroundings that offer a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Each room is tastefully decorated, clean, and well-maintained, providing a perfect blend of comfort and elegance. One of the highlights of my stay was meeting major, the property **** Major’s friendly and gentle nature added a unique charm to the experience. Whether lounging by the garden or accompanying us on leisurely walks, major’s presence made our stay even more enjoyable. In summary, kaivalya is a gem of a retreat, offering unparalleled hospitality thanks to mr. Harsh and the delightful company of major. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway.

    Dear Sahil sorry if any inconvenience occurred to you but you guys came late in the night and checked out very early next day. We provide food till 11:30 in night because staff have to wake up early in the morning. We think it’s not poor service. Anyways thanks for your review

    Best views of jibhi from tandi!

    ashandeep s.loyalty-iconcouple

    Kaivalya offers one of the best views of the valley from the rooms. We stayed in the normal room for 2 nights and in the suite for 2 nights. There isn't much difference between the two except for the fact that the suite has a private balcony, but also has a smaller bathroom. Would suggest to choose the normal room. The staff is really friendly and i was in constant touch with the host who made sure that we got everything that we wanted. In terms of food, the starters were not that good but the main course dishes were to die for. Real comfort food, both veg and non veg. Would recommend the dal fry and the chicken curry 10/10. Overall the stay was nice and i would rate it 9/10. Deducting a point just for the food(starters)

    Poor Stay

    jaspreet s.

    It is not 2. 8km from jibhi centre, we have been promised some other room and given some other room. The room was made of plastic wall sheet, they were just like some stuff wall. We have paid more than 7k in this room and it was all waste. We went around 6km from the city centre for this stay and it was not at all cool to show us rooms like this. There were many problems. The room was small as of the pictures, we have to wait for hot water every time we need it. Sometimes it never comes from the tap, we somehow managed to stay there overnight but in the morning there were guys called buy hotel who were doing some electricity work and they kept on cutting our electricity which cause not hot water, not bath tub use, no bath. We just cleaned our face with cold water and checked out. This was the worst experience to go and stay out of the way to have a luxurious, calm stay but we got this instead of what we should have got. The good part was the caretakers, salinder and one more, they were helpful, they served us till late night even the food was average but still they were surviving us till 11. 30pm with a smile and also in the morning so this was the only part which kept us there till morning. don't waste money here, please advise everyone. Also if you can ask them to refund our money, we can come again and stay in some nicer places, that will only help us to chill.

    Hii Jaspreet, Sorry for the inconveniences caused. On that day there is some electricity board investigation going on and that happened in every hotel that day. And the walls of our cottage are the insulated walls made up of fibre cement boards which are far better than the concrete or wooden walls here in mountains. And the distance between Jibhi to our property is 4.2 kms by road. Anyway sorry for the inconveniences caused. Thank you
