    Amazing stay amidst the beautiful weathe

    sonal s.family with 1 kid

    The location was amazing, the food was amazing, the whole property was amazing, Saveen was a really helpful person and an awesome caretaker. For everything he said yes. The only issue was room, room was small and from room we did not have any view, we wish we had french window or atleast the room had something extra to offer, otherwise everything was great

    Beautiful FarmStay

    gautham n.loyalty-icongroup

    Firefly by the River Coorg Overview Prices Reviews Location Photos Our stay at Fire Flies by the River was nothing short of amazing! From the very beginning, the StayVista team ensured a seamless experience with clear communication about stay details and the check-in process. Any queries we had were promptly addressed, which made our pre-arrival planning stress-free. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the wonderful host, Lina ma'am, and Captain Sir, who truly made us feel at home. Lina ma'am's hospitality and willingness to answer every question added a personal touch to the experience. The food was absolutely delicious—from the refreshing welcome drinks to the evening snacks, dinner, and breakfast, everything was prepared to perfection. The staff were incredibly polite, attentive, and always ready to help. The property itself is a gem—nestled in the middle of a forest, offering a serene farm-stay vibe. The rooms are spacious, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed to enhance the overall experience. This is the perfect getaway for friends and family, combining comfort, warmth, and nature's beauty. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Coorg!

    “Luxury Hostel Experience at its Finest!”

    sachin g.loyalty-iconfamily

    If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to pay luxury prices for a boot camp experience, look no further! This villa excels at offering strict schedules, firm rules, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like you’re visiting your least favorite relative. The fun began with a call before we even arrived, where we were asked to make life-altering decisions like “What do you want to eat for the next 48 hours?”—no pressure. Apparently, spontaneity isn’t an option here, so we were expected to plan all our meals in advance, over the phone, ASAP. The property/villa operates with military precision. Timings for everything. Once there, we were greeted with a helpful staff whose favorite word seemed to be “no.” Want a cup of tea? “No, not now.” Fancy ordering something a la carte? “No, sorry.” You start to get the feeling they missed their calling as prison wardens. They’re so good at saying no, it should be listed as an amenity. The rooms? Oh, where do I begin? Imagine if a room had been sealed since the Jurassic era. Dusty, stale, and fragrant in a way that only time and neglect can achieve. We got the full “rustic experience” when we had to urgently call for fresh sheets because the originals looked like they had just hosted a wrestling match. On the bright side, property location was amazing and the non-veg food was surprisingly good. I’d even go as far as to say it was the highlight of the stay. The veg dishes, though? Well, let’s just say they should stick to the non-veg. Overall, it’s the perfect spot if you love structure, dust curtains, dirty sheets, and a staff that’s here to remind you who’s really in charge.

    Peaceful tay

    amber k.loyalty-iconcouple

    A wonderfully serene spot for your staycation with stunning views and close proximity to nature. Surrounded by lush greenery and featuring a river view, it's a truly tranquil retreat. The service is excellent, and the staff are exceptionally friendly. Despite the 7000 rs accommodation cost, toiletries are limited to soap, shampoo, and hand wash. Breakfast includes options like fruits, dosa, toast, bread, omelette, and tea. It was really great to have breakfast with a great view. However, the dinner buffet appears to be overpriced, offering rice balls, paneer, tawa roti, rice, dal, and pays-am for dessert. While the homemade food is delicious, the 700 rs price tag may be a bit steep.

    My wife and i recently had the pleasure of staying at this property, and it was truly an amazing experience. We were seeking a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of crowded cities and traffic, and this place exceeded our expectations in every way. Not only was the serene ambiance exactly what we were hoping for, but the food served at the property was delicious, and the service was impeccable. The staff went above and beyond to cater to our every need and ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. In summary, we are 100% satisfied with our stay at this property.

    chaitali s.family

    Have choose coorg for 2days n so as firefly for accomodation. Found good ambience. Morning was beautiful with greenery, fresh air. Though not properly maintained. Should be at better look when guests are expected. Food not much variety. Guys there not much approachable. No intercom, tv, ac, even water force is not sufficient in taps. Found difficulty in hot water bath. We paid 8500/night, found not worth.

    Booked through mmt but never got a room in the resort no food facilities but the entire money was looted by makemytrip

    krishnan.couple

    We arrived at the resort when we came to know that our booking through makemytrip was never communicated to the property to owner by stayvista. There was no room or no food facilities available as very highly claimed in the makemytrip portal. I believe these are fake reviews. We requested refund that was also a terrible experience call after we are made to run around bushes. Terrible and horrible experience they just take your money and give a pathetic service especially makemytrip and stayvista.
