    Stay was pleasant. Delux huts are nice. It's not luxurious but cozy. A nature loving person will definitely love this place. View from the rooms is great.Food was good too.

    not wort

    bristi d.loyalty-iconsolo

    there's no tv , or air purifier, and meals are expensive and also I was alone so I asked them to keep a portion for dinner they also denied the same, which is not ok. they are ready to waste food for their business. the towel they provided that is also dirty I asked them to change but they didn't. not worthy. not a single activity is there. even for a bonfire they r asking for money and barbecue charges r not included on that. in the room there is no mirror, only a small mirror is in the bathroom.

    The stay was great, one of the best thing is that they also welcome local. The staff is polite and helpful. Free bird view and an awesome sunset can be viewed from the place.

    Disappointing Stay at Orion Retreat Jungle Hut

    debasish m.loyalty-icongroup

    Disappointing Stay at Orion Retreat Jungle Hut: I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Orion Retreat Jungle Hut near Darjeeling on 30.12.2024 for 3 nights but unfortunately, my experience was marred by subpar service and amenities. The behavior of the particular senior most service boy was unprofessional and inattentive. Despite repeated requests, our needs were not met promptly, and we were left feeling frustrated. The room service was abysmal. Orders were delayed, and the quality of food was not up to par. It seemed like the staff was not equipped to handle the demands of the guests. To make matters worse, many of the most essential amenities like Geyser etc. were not working. The lack of attention to detail and maintenance was apparent throughout the property. Given the beautiful location and potential of the retreat, it's disappointing to see such poor management and service. Until these issues are addressed, I would not recommend Orion Retreat Jungle Hut to fellow travelers. Would I return? Unlikely, unless significant improvements are made.

    Dear Karan, Thank you for visiting and sharing your review. Want to highlight, as you guys book for triple occupancy room but you guys turn up 4 pax when we say to take addition room you guys do not agree for it and you guys want to adjust, so definitely you guys will not be comfortable in the bed neither in service. But still we are looking forward to have you again as a guest at Orion Retreat. Regards, Orion Retreat Manager

    It was a family trip to orion retreat, the stay was very comfortable and cozy. In between the woods and away from the chaos, it is one of the best stays around sonada. The host was very hospitable and helpful. Highly recommended for your next trip.

    Good place

    soumya b.family

    We booked 2 premium cottages through mmt. Cottages are good amid-st serene natural beauty, lavish greenery and tranquil forest. The sound of rain, drenching the green was awesome. Just keep in mind, you have to move 150+150( up and down) stairs for your lunch and dinner.

    Good place but bad service

    sumanta m.family

    Place is nice. But their service is very bad. Specially the manager or whoever at the reception. They dont serve the food at the room except evening snacks. They dont bother if you are sick or weak or knee problem, you have to climb big steps of stairs to go to the dinning area at the top. Even in the rain. They dont care about special request & finally asked money to serve at the room. You go there to enjoy the nature & relax, not to do hard work. Nice place but had a bad experience. Wouldnt visit again that place.
